Dead Space walkthrough Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions

Chapter 11 picks up just after you free yourself from the grasp of a particularly large Necromorph arm. Dust yourself off and head towards the Bridge Tram Station, where you can take a tram to the Flight Deck Tram Station. When you disembark, head to the Cargo Bay to find the Marker.

How to complete the Cargo Bay

Take the lift down to the Cargo Bay proper and immediately turn to the left side of the lift. Move the blocks using Kinesis to reveal a locker, which contains a Peng statue. This is a little joke referring to all of the Peng posters scattered around the Ishimura, and it also sells for a whopping 30,000 credits! Then, head to the far left side of the room and interact with the blue terminal to retrieve the cargo.

The Marker will begin to move around the edge of the room, but will eventually get blocked by an access bridge. Head into the centre of the room and use the terminal to raise the bridge so that the Marker can pass through. Avoid the tentacles that rise around the centre platform, as they will slam down and deal lots of damage.

Continue following the Marker until it is once again blocked. This time, you must find the nearby weak points that will destroy the Necromorph growth that's obstructing the cargo rail. There are three weak points in total, but they're all in the same corner of the room.

With the weak points destroyed, you must head back to the centre of the room and lift the opposite bridge so that the Marker can keep moving. It will then reach the end of the rail and get lifted into the Hangar Bay.

How to get the Marker on the shuttle

Leave the Cargo Bay and head back to the Flight Lounge. Interact with the door leading to the Security Check-In to start a quarantine lockdown. Clear the room of enemies, and then continue into the Security chamber and turn right to access a new side of the Hangar Bay that you couldn't previously reach. Kyne will fly into the Hangar Bay in the escape shuttle.

Head back into the corridors and turn left, before following the ramp up to reach a gravity control terminal. Enter zero-gravity and float over to the loading room, where the Marker will rise up from the Cargo Bay.

Interact with a terminal to send the Marker into the Hangar Bay, and then fly up to the raised platform nearby. There, you'll find three more terminals. These control the rails that the Marker moves along in the Hangar Bay. You must rotate the rails so that the Marker can keep moving until it reaches the shuttle.

With the Marker loaded below the escape shuttle, you must then clear the room of Necromorphs before proceeding onto the next objective. You can then restore gravity and head back to the shuttle.

After a shocking twist, head back to the gravity control terminal and continue through the next door, which leads into a control room where you'll find Nicole. Chat with Nicole and then use the terminal nearby to recall the shuttle, pulling it back into the Hangar.

Dead Space remake point of no return

Head back out of the control room and grab the Power Node in a wall container up ahead. Then, proceed into the Hangar Bay and over to the shuttle. This is the point of no return in Dead Space, so now's your chance to go back and complete any lingering optional objectives before the grand finale.

When you're ready, board the shuttle and leave the USG Ishimura. After a cutscene, you'll land on Aegis VII and complete Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions.
