Chapter 7: Into the Void

Dead Space guide · Isaac searches for launch codes to eject a mineral processing tether and clear the ship's path.

Isaac travels deep into the Mining Deck to retrieve the asteroid launch codes from Supervisor Dallas's RIG. To clear the USG Ishimura's path, he must destroy gravity tethers pinning an asteroid inside the Mining Bay, plant a SOS beacon on its exterior, and launch it into deep space.

The Level 3 Security Clearance obtained from Dallas's RIG is required to backtrack and open previously inaccessible locked doors across the ship, though you can freely return to these areas until Chapter 11.

Enemies

Pregnancy

Weak to Limbs

Do not shoot the bloated abdomen, or it will burst and release a swarm of Swarmers or Lurker embryos.

Guardian

Weak to Glowing tentacles

Attached to the wall near the Mining control routes; shoot each severed tentacle or use a high-damage explosive to kill it before it can launch pods.

Slasher

Weak to Limbs

Frequent encounters throughout narrow mining corridors; dismembering the legs slows them down quickly.

Tips

When planting the SOS Beacon on the asteroid, use Stasis on the rotating industrial rings to safely navigate past them without being crushed.
Two of the asteroid's gravity tethers are located inside the ship bay, while the remaining two are mounted outside in the vacuum, requiring zero-G flight around the asteroid's surface to destroy them.
