Successfully complete the game on the Hardcore difficulty to unlock the Hand Cannon at the first shop in a New Game+. However, your upgrades to the Plasma Cutter from Dead Space will not carry over. Line Gun mines or the Javelin Gun work well against the parasites.Have a saved game file from the original Dead Space to begin the game with access to the Plasma Cutter. Kill the two elite Slashers and the parasites that appear from the coffin. Once you take the lift down to the morgue right after, you won't be coming back to the gift shop at all. Take out the fuse and re-load at the gift shop once more. Kill all four (or five - too many body parts to count) stalkers and head upstairs. Power Node - Balcony near the corpse in the Stalker arena (after the battle).

Wait til the charge, then stake (or stasis) and fire. Camp near the broken door, and wait with a weapon and a stake. To activate the stalkers, go to the center of the room after the door is destroyed and Isaac contacts Daina about an alternate route. Unlike some of the other Stalker arenas, this one has few surprises and just one way to get to you. Easily done on round 2 and onwards here (your ability to Re-Spec nodes can help you do more damage as well). Use the Seeker Rifle to kill a Stalker while zoomed in. While you can do this in Chapter 4 (the first instance you meet Stalkers), you may have a height advantage in the Chapter 6 stock-room (run back to the stairs and set some detonator mines to prevent them from coming upstairs). Kill a Stalker with the Seeker Rifle while zoomed in.

Since this battle is so straight-forward, you can also do the extra accolade. Basically, you want to be in a cul-de-sac with a very powerful weapon to down them as they charge you. The Stalker arena has some stakes on the ground you may want to group all that at the bottom of the stairs and use them as extra ammo when the enemies charge Isaac. The enemies are necromorph Stalkers, which can climb over low obstacles and charge/ram you. Pick up the node and break the fuse to get back to the save room.Īt the gift shop, load up on ammo and, if you want, take the Line Gun if you want more firepower. Once you go past the maintenance tunnel, you will engage in a quick time event (QTE). Power Node - The admin office past the maintenance tunnel and slamming door. Take all the items you can carry, as you will get back into the hallway adjacent to the church lobby (and hence, the gift shop) shortly. There's a save station (due to the QTE death-scene), so save if you like. Stasis the slamming door and get into the security office. Schematic - Security Suit in the office storeroom near the hatch. The necromorphs will appear once you step outside. Insert the circuit to unlock the door across the room. Solve the door puzzle by pulling open the panel near the dead guy in the mind-wipe machine and taking the circuit module to the circuit panel by the door. You can either use a Javelin Gun to put down a spear (right under a vent or in the middle of the rooms is good) or simply juke/Line Gun or Plasma Cutter the suckers with some stasis. There's a reason for this, as two elite Slashers will drop in and attack soon after Isaac solves the puzzle to the locked door. Proceed to the brain-washing center and note the very large blow-out window in the room.

Note you can break the fuse to unlock the door back to the church lobby (and hence the enemy free gift shop) to save, shop and upgrade. Smash through the enemies down to the ground floor and ride the elevator up to exit. Necromorph infectors will animate some corpses and march them upstairs you can trigger the spawn and use the long curve of the walkway to delay them this lets you shred some upper limbs. Head across the church lobby to the other wing of the facility.

Yank the node to you from the corner, and you avoid fighting the elite Slasher that appears above the desk. Remember the kinesis trick to bring items to Isaac to avoid being ambushed. Power Node - Reading room near the gift shop. After each jaunt into the church, you will be able to open doors that lead back to the gift shop so you can save, etc.

The gift shop is the "safe room" where Isaac can save, shop, and upgrade weapons. The first thing to do upon enter the Church of Unitology is to locate the gift shop.
