Question: how to kill a spider?(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: During the first two encounters with the spider, we slow it down using stasis and shoot off all three tentacles dangling from above. The spider will only attack with ramming attacks from afar, at this moment we simply run away to the left or right. After shooting all the tentacles several times, we defeat this boss. During the last meeting with the spider (Chapter 13), we do not pay attention to the boss, but run to the generator and turn it on. Two harpoons with laser sights will start working from the generator. We lure the spider into the blue zones, shoot off its tentacles so that it stops in place, and wait for the harpoons to shoot at the spider. When the harpoons hit the boss, we run to the small square installation under the left laser, start turning the valve on the installation, and do not stop until the spider is torn into pieces.

Question: how to kill a regenerating monster?(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: It is completely impossible to kill him. You can only slow him down with stasis, shoot off his arms and legs for a while, and then run away from him.

Question: how to get through the drill? (what to do with the drill in Chapter 10?)(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: We dodge the drill and, if necessary, shoot the constantly appearing enemies. Our main goal is the drill. Necromorphs appear only so that we have something to take ammo from if we run out. We use stasis to slow down the drill, at this time we shoot at its yellow part in the center. After several successful shots, the drill will stop for a while, but then begin to rotate again. You need to slow down and destroy the yellow part of the drill two more times, after which it will be completely destroyed.

Question: how to open a door without a rotator? (I can't open the door)(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: Regular doors open either automatically or manually (use the “F” key to activate the “Kinesis” ability, then press “F” a couple more times to turn the lever on the door). But there are doors that do not have a rotator. To open such doors, you first need to create a “Tungsten Torsion Shaft” on the machine (go to the turned on machine, select the 4th item “Create Items”, create a “Tungsten Torsion Shaft” for 20 tungsten and 100 scrap metal). We go to the locked door, insert the created torsion shaft, then rotate it several times using kinesis. The door opens.

Question: how to enable subtitles?(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: Subtitles are enabled in the initial menu of the game. Go to the “Settings” section, “Sound” subsection, and in the last line “Subtitles” set the value to “Enable”.

Question: how to assemble a rosette?(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: In the hall of Rosetta's laboratory (in chapter 15), we need to combine all the collected samples into a single whole alien creature. We approach the capsule in the center, use kinesis to swap the blue rectangles inside it. The far left and far right samples are already in place and do not need to be moved. When we assemble everything correctly, the samples will gather in the center. (Watch from 12 minutes)

Question: why do you need a bot?(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: A search engine bot can independently collect resources. He collects resources other than those that are on the level and which the player himself can collect. The bot just brings a random amount of resources out of nowhere. It can be launched anywhere, any number of times, it will always find resources everywhere. But there are points from where the bot will bring resources much more than usual. Press the “3” key, follow the locator to where the signal comes from, install the bot and forget about it. It will collect resources and automatically deliver them to the nearest machine.

Question: Why are artifacts needed?(in the game Dead Space 3)
Answer: Artifacts are almost the same as text messages, but with one difference. If you collect all artifacts of a certain type (EarthGov, KCCK, unitologists, alien), then all these collected artifacts will turn into the best modification chains (+3, +3 to weapon characteristics).

Introduction:

Start the game on any difficulty you want. To unlock additional modes, you will have to beat the game anyway. Try to collect all the collectibles, of which there are quite a lot in the game. You can click on start and see what collectibles are available at a given level. The game features co-op, so you'll need a second player to get some achievements. Some co-op side missions also have their own collectibles. The game does not save your progress if you die. In order for statistics such as headshots to count for your character, you will need to reach the next checkpoint. In total you have to go through 19 chapters. You can replay them at any time by selecting from the main menu. Before leaving the game, do not forget to save (at checkpoints).

Note:When playing different modes, you will save to different save files. That is, you will not overwrite the progress of a game completed in another mode.

Collectibles: You need to collect all the collectibles in one playthrough. It will be easiest to collect them on minimum difficulty.

First playthrough: Any difficulty

Play as you wish. Minimal difficulty and help from a partner? Easily. But still, I advise you to go through the game on a lower difficulty, knocking out minor achievements and collecting collectibles along the way. Don't worry, the next 3 playthroughs will still make you sweat.

Second playthrough: Classic

Classic mode automatically sets the game difficulty to Hard. You will only be able to use weapons that are unlocked through blueprints. Aiming will be a little different; the mechanics are reminiscent of those from the first part of the series. You can't play co-op here, however if you buy the weapon expansion they will be available to you. With them, by the way, the passage will become noticeably easier. The game in this mode will be saved as a separate save. Collectibles from the previous save will be reset. You will not receive resources received from the previous playthrough.

Devil Horns:You will receive this weapon after beating the game in Classic mode. It kills enemies with one shot and has a huge supply of ammunition. To use this gun in Survival mode, you will need to clear the cache and then play with the network disabled to get the blueprints, which will be written to your save file. After this, you can return online again, update the game and start playing with your existing save.

Third playthrough: Survival

High difficulty. You will not be able to pick up ammo and first aid kits dropped by enemies. You will have to collect all weapons and equipment manually. You can still play the game in co-op. By using the trick described above with the Devil's Horn weapon, you can get a fairly powerful gun with almost endless ammunition.

Fourth playthrough: Hardcore

High difficulty. If you die, the game starts from the beginning. You can exit the game - checkpoints will save your progress, but death will reset all progress. There is a little trick - you can play it safe and save the game in the cloud or on a USB drive. Switch between two saves as you progress through the game, and if you die, load the previous one. This game is not as difficult as Dead Space 2. Especially if you have the Devil's Horns.

Cooperative:

The game has several side missions with collectibles. To complete them, you will definitely need a partner. There are also several co-op related achievements in the game.

Conclusion:

In general, the description of the achievements quite clearly explains what exactly is required of you. You will have to complete the game 4 times. Some may be disheartened by the fact that there are 200 collectibles scattered throughout the game, but most of them will be fairly easy to find, and with the accompanying video guide, you won't have any trouble finding rare items at all. Co-op and selecting chapters will make it much easier to complete and earn achievements.

IN Dead Space 3 There are so many innovations that a fan of the series can easily get confused in them Dead Space, not to mention the one who started getting acquainted with the series with Dead Space 3. In this guide we will try to give some useful tips on Dead Space 3, so that it would be easier for you to navigate.

Basics

Resources

IN Dead Space 3 money has been completely replaced by resources. Resources can be used to craft various items, from First Aid Kits and Clips to new weapons. Resources are found throughout the game and do not take up space in your inventory, so make sure you have collected all the resources when leaving the area. To save resources early in the game, skip crafting new weapons and focus on upgrading ICS protective suit. Weapon parts are found quite often and there is no particular need to create them. Doesn't forget about the bot collecting resources - " Search Engine Bot“, he must constantly be in business. Otherwise, what's the point of it if it's in your inventory? If the bot has collected resources and is ready to unload them, find the nearest Machine, unload the bot and start it to collect resources.

If you're low on resources, you can disassemble old equipment. From unnecessary first aid kits you can get " Somatic Gel" Extra clips will give " Scrap metal" Your resources will be saved in your inventory if you decide to replay a previously completed mission. This means that you can return to earlier levels and complete them with better weapons and collect more resources. You can then use these resources to upgrade equipment or weapons and continue through new chapters.

Contractions

Isaac is now more mobile than in previous games in the series Dead Space and there are new features that can demonstrate this. For example, a roll appeared, if several Necromorphs are coming straight at you, you can make a jump while rolling to the side, thereby avoiding the attack. You can also sit down at any time, hiding behind a ledge or boxes. When facing Necromorphs, always aim for the limbs. By dismembering you slow down the enemy more than by shooting at the body. If you have a weapon with a swivel mechanism, you can easily change the plane of attack to more effectively sever limbs or tentacles. In melee combat it is impossible to deal targeted damage, use it only against weakened or weak opponents. Melee attacks are quite weak, but if you combine different types of attacks, you can get effective combo attacks.

Isaac also has Kinesis And Stasis. Stasis can be used against a group of enemies or against fast Necromorphs, significantly slowing down the enemy. There is a reward for killing an enemy while he is under Stasis. Kinesis will come to the rescue if you are low on ammo. Cut off the Necromorph's arms? Throw them at him to damage or kill him.

Co-op - co-op

Co-op playthrough, also new in Dead Space 3. It is much easier to go through with a partner than alone. The second feature that makes co-op play easier is that the resources in the lockers are actually doubled. This means that both players will not have difficulties with supplies. If one player needs a first aid kit or some other supplies, the second can easily share with him. Simply select the desired inventory item and then select " Share» and it will immediately be with your partner.
  • Shoot off the Necromorph's legs, this will slow him down. A Necromorph lying on the ground is easier to hit.
  • Upgrade your starting weapons as quickly as possible. It's very weak.
  • Modify your weapon at every opportunity.
  • Always keep several First Aid Kits in your inventory, and if you don't have enough, make new ones.
  • Kinesis doesn't need ammo or charge, don't forget about it!
  • Go to old levels for supplies.
  • Before creating new weapon parts, modify the IKS.
  • Keep your weapon balanced. If you are cornered with a ranged weapon, you have very little chance of getting out. Carry melee and ranged weapons with you, this will help you get out of any situation.
