Walkthrough
Chapter 11
Signal Hunting
Collectibles:
2 Artifacts
4 Logs
1 Weapon Part
4 Upgrade Circuits
And there we are, the huge beast is the key to find out how to go on. And we just
have to get inside of it. What a tasty idea.
Mission Objective: Reactivate the heating system
There are 2 Boxes on the ground level around the beast, get them, use the bench if
needed, then walk along the beast and enter the next room called Furnace room.
There is an Audiolog (1/4) in here. Nothing more, but the next room has a Suit Kiosk
and a new Suit. Put on your new Archaeologist Suit and upgrade your RIG, if you
haven't already. Your health and stasis stats should be close to max or maxed out
by now. Then take a look around to find an Upgrade Circuit (1/4) in the Cabinet,
2 Boxes and 2 Lockers.
Take the Cargo Lift up and grab the 2 Boxes around the corner to the right. Then
drop a Scavenging Bot at the
Scavenging Point close to the ladder here.
Get back to the elevator and where the boxes were and open the small cabinet. There
is a power core inside that cabinet that is needed all the way over at the other
end of this platform. Kinesis it with you and start walking towards the other side.
Once you get attacked drop it, backtrack a bit and kill the Waster and the Leaper.
Another pair of Waster and Leaper appear right after the first pair is dead, and
then another Leaper.
After they are gone forever grab the power core again and kinesis it over to the
building on the other side. There is a small gap in the door where you don't fit
in but the power core does. Just throw it in there. Now backtrack to the ladder and
get up to the walkway. 3 Wasters face you on this windy way. After that there is
another box a bit hidden on the roof. Use kinesis to get it, then climb down the
ladder.
Open the 3 Lockers and get the Upgrade Circuit (2/4) from the wallcabinet. Then it
is time to get the powercore to the fitting hole and power the heaters back up.
When calling back to the crew a Waster jumps in through the vent on the left of
the switch.
As the power is on now, the door out of here opens now. But when you exit through
the door you have to fight a Leapers and a Waster. This will give you goodies but
waste ammo. If you climb up the ladder and walk over the catwalk again you face no
Necromorphs this way and also get no goodies. Your choice. Then ride down the elevator
again and get back to the main nexus room with the huge beast in it.
Mission Objective: Adjust the Heaters
And now we have to heat up the beast. This is done by finally turning on the heating
right at the huge machine. And this is done by turning the crank that has its
number lit up on the machine and above the crank. Use kinesis to do so, then use the
button in the middle once again. And there you would suspect the future scifi tech
to be all about minimalism and simple (touch)button presses not these huge cranks...
Mission Objective: Rendezvous with Santos
Get into the elevator next to the Bench now and up we go to Santos.
The catwalk to the right has 1 Box at the end, go and get it before it is too late.
Then get to Santos and get the Probe Gun Blueprint (-/-) from her. This Blueprint is
not counted in any of your stats for collectibles or similar stuff. But in the end
we have to build this thing now.
Mission Objective: Collect the Probe components
Get back to the core drill now. You will see a wicked and depressing scene, but on
the other hand, less enemies you would have to kill...
Throwing the dead Unitology Soldiers straight above you sometimes makes them drop
some goodies. Then continue to the outside of the drill area and walk along the
catwalk to the right. Now we have the keycard and can enter the door here.
As the elevator ahead is locked follow the thing that fled to the left. Get the
Textlog (2/4) and then take the elevator down. Outside you witness a scene of a
new Necromorph form called Stalkers eating on a corpse but then they shy away.
Enemy: Stalker
Stalkers are very clever and most of the time you encounter them in swarms. They
sneak up on you in open areas, hide behind obstacles and only stick out their head
and move around pretty quickly and search for another hiding spot. Once you are
fighting one of them or are otherwise distracted they run towards you and ram you
really hard just to hide somewhere else afterwards. Cut off their legs to stop them
from running so damned fast and you are done with one. Now watch out for the others
that already have a keen eye on you.
To the left is another path leading to a dead end that has nothing in it but a
Scavenging Point. So drop a bot here and continue on with the path your
questmarker tells you to. There are 2 Stalkers at the cargo containers, take them
out, use stasis if needed and get the 2 Boxes behind the snowploughdiggercrane.
Behind the next cargo container lurks another Stalker. At the corner there are 2
more Stalkers and that's it for them for now. Get moving towards the door. But
don't miss the 2 Boxes to the left and there is also a
Unitology Artifact (
1/2)
next to the boxes. Now enter the door.
This is a briefing room with a movie playing and 2 Textlogs (3+4/4), 2 Lockers and
2 Boxes inside. You might want to open the Torque room, just read on to see if it
is worth it for you.
Content of this Torque Room:
- Repeater Weapon Part (1/1)
- 1 Upgrade Circuit (3/4)
- 4 Boxes
Could have been better, but whatever, get to the next door behind the projector and
enter the staging area.
You better stay almost inside the door elevator thingy and get rid of the 5-6 Stalkers
attacking now. They seem to run around like crazy, don't get confused. Remember to
shoot their legs. And sometimes you have to step out of the door room a bit to make
them attack at all.
Once the annoying creepy music stops they are all dead. Now you can get all the 7 Boxes
around the open area, half of them are found on top of the crates in the middle.
Now play the hacking minigame and proceed through the door it opens into Area NX-02. NX-02
could mean Nexus 02. There are 2 Ammo Clips before the next door, and another 2 Ammo Clips
after the door and to the left. Also you
can kinesis the 2 Boxes over the gap.
To the right of the door is a wall cabinet with an Upgrade Circuit (4/4) in it. Now walk
along the catwalk until the very end (even past the ladder), turn left and use kinesis
on the gear to pull up the elevator cage beneath. Just kinesis it all the way up. Then
finally climb down the ladder and walk to the right end to find a box and the Probe Tip (1/3).
To the other end you will find 4 Ammo Clips, 3 medium MedPacks and the Probe Engine (2/3).
Now we can enter the cage you just pulled up and get the Probe Frame (3/3).
And this was everything we can do here, so get back to the staging area where you just
fought the horde of Stalkers.
