Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent
Dead Space guide · Isaac attempts to realign the ship's ADS cannons to defend against asteroid impacts.
← All areas in this guide
Isaac heads to the Bridge to meet with Hammond and deal with the incoming asteroid storm threatening the Ishimura. He must reroute ship power to re-engage the defense systems, purge atmospheric contamination, and calibrate the three ADS cannons from exterior consoles. Along the way, he encounters a massive, heavily armored Brute and faces zero-gravity hazards outside the hull.

Enemies
Brute

Lurker
Weak to Three tentacles extended from its back
Frequently clings to walls in vacuum and zero-gravity sections, attacking from a distance.
Tips
- You do not need to manually aim and shoot asteroids like in the 2008 original; instead, you must travel outside onto the hull, interact with power terminals, and aim targeting lasers at incoming asteroids so the automated cannons lock on.
- When moving across the exterior trench to calibrate ADS cannons, use the deployable metal barriers to shield Isaac from asteroid impacts when crossing open lanes.
