Chapter 1 stays on the Flight Deck (the Hangar–Cargo tram stop). You start aboard the Kellion, lose the crew in the Flight Lounge, pick up the Plasma Cutter, and reach the Tram Control Room, the chapter's safe room, with its Save Station. From there, two objectives can be done in either order; this route does the tram first and the Data Board second. The first Bench is in the Maintenance Bay Office and the first Store at the Flight Deck Tram Station, on the way out to Medical. Two moments need care: once you have the Stasis Module, wait for Daniels to call before you use Stasis, both on the jammed door and on the right claw in the Tram Repair Room. Using it too early loses a log for this run.
Right after picking up the Stasis Module, the log Stasis Door is lost for this run if you use Stasis on the jammed door before Daniels calls. Stand at the door and wait about half a minute for her call; only then slow the door and go through.
The log Autoloader is lost for this run if the right claw is attached with Stasis before Daniels calls. Attach the left claw, then try the right claw's controls at least twice without Stasis and wait for her call; only then freeze the claw.
Chapter 2 is spent on the Medical Deck. You come down from the Flight Deck Tram Station, pick up Kinesis and the Pulse Rifle, and use the Security Station, with its Save Station and Store, as the hub for two errands: the Hydrazine Tank to the west and the Shock Pad to the south. Together they blow the barricade into the Ishimura Clinic, the way to the Morgue, where the captain's RIG gives Security Clearance Level 1. Spend Level 1 on two Power Nodes before you ride the tram out. Nothing here is missable before the end-of-Chapter-11 shuttle; the one order that matters is Nicole's recording in the Emergency Room before her hidden room, so the side mission Scientific Methods registers cleanly.
The Hydrazine Tank (west) and the Shock Pad (south) can be fetched in either order. This guide follows the objective marker and takes the Hydrazine first; its way back runs through the Coolant Pipelines and past the Pulse Rounds schematic.
Watch Nicole's recording in the Emergency Room right to the end before you open her hidden room. Done the other way round, the side mission's later rooms can stay locked; replaying the recording in full at its panel puts it right.
Security Clearance Level 1 opens two Power Node cabinets on Medical. Take both before you ride the tram: one is on your way back through the Clinic, the other a short detour west from the Security Station. Other Level 1 crates, lockers and rooms you pass hold loot only.
Chapter 3 starts in the Flight Deck's Main Hangar in zero-g and crosses the void to the Engineering Deck. The Engineering Control Room, with its Save Station and Store, is the hub: the three repair jobs (South refuel, North refuel, the centrifuge) branch from it, and you pass back through it between them, so it is where the first Store-only weapon upgrades are bought. Two new weapons, the Ripper and the Flamethrower, start two more 30-kill trophies. Nothing in this chapter can be lost before the Chapter 11 shuttle leaves; the only care needed is with the call logs (see the tip below).
Some players found that the automatic calls in this chapter (Kendra is Alive, Engines are Refueled) never registered, mostly after loading the save made just after the call. Open the Database after each call to confirm it is listed, and avoid reloading that save.
Hangar Overseer Voelker's RIG, one of the crew RIGs for the Master Override, floats in this hangar. Leave it here: picking up a crew RIG before the Custom Lockdown call in Chapter 7 may stop that call from playing. The guide brings you back for it after that call, through the Cargo Lift from Engineering in Chapter 8.
Engineering has locks you can't open yet: a storage room in the Refueling Control Stations and a room in Fuel Storage that need a higher security clearance, and a Master Override chest in the Machine Shop. Their contents come later, when the guide brings you back with the clearance.
Chapter 4 takes the tram to the Bridge. Hammond waits in the Captain's Nest, below the Main Atrium, and gives you Security Clearance Level 2; then a Brute fight in the Atrium, the Security Room's elevator switch, three power reroutes on three floors, and a space walk to calibrate the ADS cannons. Your anchors are the Bridge Store by the Main Atrium, the Save Station in the Captain's Nest and the Bench in the Security Room armory. Three choices matter in this run: never touch the Bridge Security console beside Hammond, don't hurt the first Brute until Hammond calls, and reroute Mining Administration, then Electrical Systems, then Water Purification.
Several logs in this chapter are calls that play by themselves. Open the Database's Chapter 4 list after each one, and don't reload an autosave made just after a call: some calls have failed to register that way.
The console on the far side of the holographic globe from Hammond, right by the logs here, offers the side mission You Are Not Authorized. Starting the mission here means the Chapter 7 log "Custom Lockdown" never plays in this run, and the log is then lost for good: New Game+ starts with the Master Override already in your Key Items, so the call can't play there either. The Chapter 7 call starts the same side mission for you anyway. Leave this console alone, and leave the crew RIGs you find until after Chapter 7.
Back up in the Main Atrium, a Brute bursts out of the Security Room and the Atrium locks down. Don't attack it yet: keep running from it for about half a minute until Hammond calls. That call is the log "Shoot It In the Back", and damaging or killing the Brute before it plays loses the log for this run. Check the Database, then fight.
The game lets you do the three reroutes in any order, but only the first two play their own log; the third plays "Manual Targeting?" instead. In this order you get "Mining Admin Rerouted" and "Watch the Outlets" now. Doing Mining Administration or Electrical Systems last loses its log for this run, and rerouting Electrical Systems last may also cost "Med-Sci Reports". The "Water Purification" log comes in New Game+, where you do that reroute first.
First Officer White's RIG, one of the crew RIGs for the Master Override, floats out here on the hull, a little past the third cannon. Leave it for now: picking up a crew RIG before the Custom Lockdown call in Chapter 7 may stop that call from playing. The guide brings you back to the Bridge for it in Chapter 8, after that call.
Chapter 5 starts on the Bridge once the ADS Cannons are calibrated and plays out entirely on the Medical Deck, which you already know from Chapter 2. Your anchors are the Save Station and Store in the Medical Security Station, the Save Station on the way to Zero-G Therapy, the Bench in the Diagnostics Technician room in Imaging Diagnostics, and a new Save Station outside Cryogenics. Security Clearance Level 2 from Chapter 4 opens Dr. Warwick's office and Emergency Equipment Storage here. There are no missable choices in this chapter. The Hunter cannot be killed: cut off a leg or freeze it with Stasis, then run, and save your ammunition for everything else.
What happens at the Chemical Lab keeps you fighting all the way back here. Save, buy ammunition and Stasis Packs now, and collect Dr. Warwick's office on the way down.
The Hunter comes back in the Emergency Room together with other Necromorphs. The door to ER Hallway A needs power: carry the Power Cell to its slot with Kinesis, holding the Hunter in Stasis while you do.
Stepping out of Mercer's office fills Medical with poison gas and starts your air running down. Don't stop to fight: Stasis whatever blocks you, refill at the oxygen stations on the way, and don't burst a pregnant Necromorph's belly, which lets out a swarm.
Fill up at the Stasis recharge station in Cryogenics and clear the Lurkers when they come. Shoot off the Hunter's legs inside the central chamber, Stasis it there, then sprint to the control room where Mercer stood and use the cryo freeze console. It only works if the Hunter is still inside the chamber.
The chapter opens in Cryogenics on the Medical Deck. Before leaving Medical, take the Tissue Sample and do the first two steps of the side mission "Premeditated Malpractice" in the Main Lab and the Intensive Care Unit. Then ride the tram to Hangar–Cargo and walk through the Tram Repair Room into Hydroponics. The Hydroponics Central Hub, with a Save Station and a Store, is your anchor: every Wheezer trip starts from it and the Leviathan fight ends the chapter behind its east airlock. Two choices cost a log each if you get them wrong: craft the Enzyme before you set foot in Food Storage, and shoot Wheezer 01 before you inject it. The Force Gun, the last weapon, waits behind a Level 2 door in the West Grow Chamber.
The log "Go to Food Storage" only plays if the Enzyme is already made when you first walk into Food Storage, the room behind the Central Hub's east airlock. If you go in first, a different log plays instead and "Go to Food Storage" is lost for this run. Use the synthesis terminal in the hub before you touch the east airlock. The other log is collected in New Game+.
The log "Use the Enzyme" only plays if Wheezer 01 takes a shot before the injection; inject it first and the call is lost for this run. West Seedling Room B is full of poisonous air, so go in with a weapon drawn, fire once at the Wheezer, wait for the call to start, then inject.
Lt. Commander Holt's RIG, one of the crew RIGs for the Master Override, lies on the floor behind this chamber's cargo lift. Leave it for now: picking up a crew RIG before the Custom Lockdown call in Chapter 7 may stop that call from playing. The guide brings you back to Hydroponics for it in Chapter 10, after that call.
The whole chapter is on the Mining Deck, reached on foot from the Hydroponics hub. Its cargo lift links four sub-decks: Deck A (the RIG Room, with a Save Station, Store and Bench), Deck C (Mining Control and the Extraction Area), Deck B (Processing) and Deck D (Maintenance). The RIG Room and the Extraction Area are your anchors. One thing must not be skipped: try the sealed Tools Storage door in Mining Operations, before you pick up any crew RIG, to get the call "Custom Lockdown". Dallas's RIG on Deck B gives Security Clearance Level 3, which opens two rooms on the way back up: the Utility Room and the Deck C Storage Room. Keep 35,000 credits in hand for the Level 4 suit.
In this same room, Kinesis-slide the crates until you can reach the sealed Tools Storage door, then interact with it. Daniels calls, giving the log "Custom Lockdown"; the same call opens the side mission "You Are Not Authorized". The call only comes if that mission hasn't started yet: if you used the Bridge Security console in Chapter 4, it won't play in this run, nor in New Game+. Don't pick up any crew RIG before this door; Dallas's RIG later in this chapter is the first one this route takes.
Chapter 8 opens at the Mining Tram Station where Chapter 7 ended. Before the story sends you to the Bridge, cross the shared platform into Engineering: Security Clearance Level 3 now opens a room in Fuel Storage (Rousseau's RIG and a log) and a storage room by the Refueling Control Stations (a schematic and a Node), and the service lift behind the Control Room leads out to Voelker's RIG, left behind in Chapter 3. The Engineering Control Room, with its Save Station and Store, is the hub for these trips. On the Bridge, stock up before you head down to Communications: a spacewalk ends the chapter, with no Store for a while. Take White's RIG on the hull outside first. Nothing in this chapter can be lost before the Chapter 11 shuttle.
A spacewalk ends the chapter, with no Store for a while. Buy ammunition and med packs at the Main Atrium Store now, and top up again at the Store in the Maintenance Locker Room, past the gondola. The Pulse Rifle is a good weapon to carry: plenty of its ammunition lies ahead.
The whole chapter happens on the USM Valor, the military ship lodged in the Ishimura's hull, and you can't come back to it once the chapter is over. Every pickup on board is therefore a last chance: two text and audio logs, the Large Med Pack schematic, four Power Nodes and the trophy Front Toward Enemy in the Armory's Shooting Range. The Valor has no Store, so restock on the Bridge before the spacewalk at the end of Chapter 8. Four Save Stations are your anchors: the airlock room where you board, the corridor outside the Torpedo Bay, the Armory, and the corridor before the Engine Room. There are no choices to get wrong; just take everything before you pick up the Singularity Core, because that starts the escape.
The range is a side room off the Armory and the game never sends you in, but it is your only chance at Front Toward Enemy in this run. It opens once the warhead is gone. Save at the Armory station first: if you die in the fight that follows, you load back and start the range again. Once you survive it, it can't be replayed, and it doesn't need to be.
A Power Node may wait in a marines' locker room to the right as you leave the Infirmary (the Cargo Bay is to the left). Duffel bags lie on a broken, electrified floor plate in front of it: clear them with Kinesis and time a dash over the plate. This Node isn't confirmed, but check the room while you can.
Taking the Singularity Core sets off the Valor's destruction, and the escape that follows ends the chapter with no way back aboard. Before you ride the Engine Room lift up to the core, make sure you have: the logs Orders and Alien Boarders (Briefing Room), the Large Med Pack schematic (Infirmary), the trophy Front Toward Enemy (Shooting Range), and the optional Power Nodes at the airlock wall, in the Shooting Range locker, from the Cargo Bay Brute and in the Engine Room. The four Save Stations on board go with them. Open the Database to check the two logs.
The chapter starts on the Bridge. A door by the Bridge Store, shut until now, leads into the Tram Tunnels: the last crew RIG lies down there, and a lift climbs to the Crew Deck Tram Station. Lift that station's lockdown and the Crew Deck becomes a tram stop. From there the guide takes an optional free-roam loop by tram before the story goes on: Holt's RIG in Hydroponics (left there on purpose in Chapter 6), the Master Override in the Captain's Nest, then every Master Override and Level 3 lock left on the ship, plus the end of Premeditated Malpractice. Back on the Crew Deck, the Common Area (Save Station and Store) is the anchor: Zero-G Basketball, the key, then four tendrils around the Central Nexus and the Executive Shuttle. Nothing in this chapter can be lost before you board the shuttle that closes Chapter 11.
Nothing in this loop is needed for the story, and everything in it stays reachable until you board the Chapter 11 shuttle. The guide does it now because the Crew Deck station is open, the Master Override only needs Holt's RIG, and four of the six weapon parts it unlocks are on this loop (the High-Pressure Nozzle comes on the Crew Deck later in this chapter, the Suspension Module in Chapter 11). Four tram rides in all, starting and ending at the Crew Deck Tram Station; Mining and Engineering share one platform, and Medical is a walk from the Bridge station. Install each weapon part at the next Bench: fitting one hands back a free Power Node.
| Ride | To | What you collect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hydroponics | Rare Specimens Node, Nutrition Systems Node, Working Discreetly (Final Regeneration), Prototype Stasis Module, Holt's RIG |
| 2 | Bridge (then Medical on foot) | Master Override (Full Clearance), High-Yield Grenades, Water Purification Node, Photon Energizer, Portable Heliotron |
| 3 | Hydroponics, then on foot to Mining and Engineering | Precision Lasers, Diffraction Module, Carbon-Fiber Blades |
| 4 | Crew Deck | Back to the story |
A short chapter on the Flight Deck. Take the tram to Hangar–Cargo and walk to the Cargo Bay. Before you start the crane, clear the bay's lower floor: Peng, the Force Gun's last upgrade part (in a Master Override chest), a log and a Node are all down there, and the Bench on the upper floor lets you fit the part at once. Then move the cargo across the bay and up to the main hangar, load it in zero-g, and finish in Flight Control. Your anchor is the Flight Deck Tram Station, with its Store and the Save Station in the Tram Control Room. There are no choices to get right until the very end: boarding the shuttle closes the whole Ishimura for this run. The warning just before that step lists everything to check first.
Boarding the shuttle takes you off the Ishimura for the rest of this run; no deck, door or chest on the ship can be reached again until New Game+. The game asks you to confirm as you step aboard, and you can decline and walk back out. Before you accept, go through this list, using the tram to reach any deck you need. Side missions: Scientific Methods, Premeditated Malpractice and You Are Not Authorized all finished, with Whole Again, Final Regeneration and Full Clearance earned. Peng: the treasure from the Cargo Bay lockers, with There's Always Peng! earned. Z-Baller: level 6 of Zero-G Basketball cleared in the Crew Deck gym. Master Override chests: every star-marked door and chest opened, the one in the Cargo Bay included. Logs: every Ishimura log in the Database, side-mission logs included; check each chapter's list. Nodes and pickups: every Power Node cabinet, every schematic and all 21 weapon upgrade parts taken. Built To Order: all 21 parts installed at a Bench. Then save at the station in the lobby, so you can come back if something turns out to be missing.
The last chapter is played entirely on the colony of Aegis VII, and there is no tram and no way back to the Ishimura. The Living Quarters, right next to the Main Landing Pad, hold a Save Station, a Store and a Bench; you open them early on and pass through them again just before the final fight. The Marker moves through five areas: the landing pad, the Supply Depot, the Transfer Junction, the Storage Chamber and the Excavation Site. Treat every area as closed once the Marker leaves it (the Living Quarters, which you pass again, are the one exception): take its Nodes and logs first. The Transfer Junction holds a Master Override chest with three Nodes, so you need the Master Override from Chapter 10. When the chapter ends, run 1 is complete.
Plugging in the battery opens the shutter, and the Marker heads into the Supply Depot, where a quarantine shuts you in. The route does come back through the Living Quarters and onto the pad at the very end, but don't count on reaching these spots then: take the Node on the pad, the Node in the Atrium and the log They Left Us now. Retrieval Order is safest picked up now too.
Once the Marker rolls into the Transfer Junction, treat the Supply Depot and its Holding Zones as closed. Make sure the Node in Holding Zone 2B is yours first.
The terminal that sends the Marker into the Storage Chamber is the last chance for the Transfer Junction. Check you have the three Nodes from the Master Override chest and the Brute's Node.
The last terminal, where the balconies end, starts a cutscene, and the chapter heads for home after it. Pick up Recombination Study from the third weak point's spot before you use it.
From the Living Quarters on, the chapter runs straight into the last fight and the ending. Make sure the Node in the storage room before the Living Quarters is taken, and, if you skipped it at the start, the log Retrieval Order lying by the Store kiosk.
Run 2 is New Game+, loaded from the save the game makes when run 1 ends, on Hard. Your weapons, upgrade trees and credits come with you; Security Clearance starts again from zero and comes back at the same story points, while the Master Override stays yours from the start. This list only covers what is new: the logs one run can't give, One Gun, the Level 6 suit and the 12 Marker Fragments, which appear only in New Game+. Each fragment is listed in the chapter where you first pass it; any you miss can still be fetched later, as long as all 12 are placed before the shuttle leaves in Chapter 11. Expect Phantom necromorphs, which are much tougher, and enemies in new places. Run-1 anchors (Save Stations, Stores and Benches) are where they were. The Power Nodes are back too, but the guide keeps your run-1 ticks on them, so take each chapter's Nodes again from its run-1 list; every chapter checkpoint below gives the count. Any run-1 log, schematic or other pickup you left unticked can still be taken in this run, except the Chapter 7 log "Custom Lockdown".
Maxing every weapon and the suit takes more Nodes than the ship holds: plan to buy about 40 at a Store, at 10,000 credits each, on top of the Level 6 suit at 99,000. That is roughly half a million credits. Keep what you carried over from run 1, sell spare items you won't use at any Store, and buy Nodes a few at a time as the credits come in rather than all at the end.
Of the three power reroutes, only the first two play their own log, and the third plays "Manual Targeting?" instead. Run 1 took the other two logs, so now go to Water Purification before Mining Administration or Electrical Systems; done any later, its log "Water Purification" may not play this run. The order of the other two doesn't matter.
Chapters 6 to 10 of the New Game+ run. Keep firing only the Plasma Cutter. One order matters in Hydroponics: walk into Food Storage before you craft the Enzyme, the reverse of run 1, for the log "Inject the Wheezers". Fragments 7 to 11 lie in the East Grow Chamber, a Level 3 room on the Mining Deck, the Comms Array room and two rooms on the Crew Deck; Chapter 9, on the Valor, has none. The Master Override came with you, so there is no RIG hunt this time.
Run 1 made the Enzyme first and got "Go to Food Storage". This run needs the other log, "Inject the Wheezers", and it only plays if Food Storage is visited while the Enzyme doesn't exist yet. Leave the synthesis terminal in the Central Hub alone until you have been through the east airlock to the locked door in Food Storage.
The third tendril takes you through the Executive Quarters. On your left as you come into its larger room is Captain Mathius's room, its door sign reading Captain B. Mathius (the map labels it as Lt. Commander V. Holt's). The table with twelve pedestals inside is where the fragments go in Chapter 11, once you hold all 12.
The last two chapters of the New Game+ run. Fragment 12 waits in the Cargo Bay. Once the cargo has crossed the bay, ride the tram to the Crew Deck and set all twelve fragments on the table in Captain Mathius's room, then come back and carry on. Boarding the shuttle closes the Ishimura for this run, fragments and placement included. On Aegis VII, finish Maxed Out at the last Bench, and end the run for Trusted Contractor, One Gun and Reunion.
Boarding the shuttle that ends Chapter 11 leaves the Ishimura for the rest of this run. The game asks you to confirm as you step aboard, and you can say no and walk back. Accept only once the table in Captain Mathius's room holds all twelve: 1 Maintenance Bay Office, 2 Dr. Kyne's hidden room, 3 behind Sub-Station 03 in the Engine Room, 4 the Bridge Break Room, 5 Dr. Mercer's office, 6 on top of the Cryogenics chamber, 7 the East Grow Chamber top gantry, 8 Mineral Samples, 9 the Comms Array room, 10 the Deluxe Shift Bunks, 11 the Inquiry Desks, 12 the Cargo Bay shelves. A fragment still missing can be fetched now by tram. Without the placement there is no alternate ending and no Reunion this run.
The last run is a brand-new game on Impossible. Damage is the same as on Hard, but the game never saves for you, you get a single save slot, and you have one life: die once and that save becomes an ordinary Hard game, so the attempt is over. Everything else was done in runs 1 and 2, so this run is only about reaching the end alive; Untouchable (and on PlayStation the platinum) is the reward. Pick a short list of weapons, spend your Nodes on them, and treat Stasis as a weapon. This guide plays it straight: one life, no tricks around the death rule.
Every save on Impossible overwrites the same single slot, and the game makes none on its own. If Isaac dies, the slot turns into a Hard save and Untouchable is out of reach for that game; the only way back is a new game from Chapter 1. So save at every Save Station you pass, once the room is clear.
Keep a precise gun such as the Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle, add one weapon for crowds, and put your Nodes into those few rather than spreading them; damage upgrades save ammo. When you reload, circle enemies round cover instead of backing into a corner. Guardians, the tentacled growths stuck to walls, can kill with a single blow, so stay out of their reach and take blind corners slowly. Freeze anything dangerous with Stasis, and throw hazards in the room at enemies with Kinesis.
PlayStation has 48 trophies, including the platinum; Xbox and Steam have the other 47 as achievements. The table names the item in this guide that earns each one, so ticking the list in order earns them all. Run 1 is the long collecting run, run 2 is New Game+ with the Plasma Cutter only, and run 3 is the Impossible run.

| Section | Point of no return | What it locks |
|---|---|---|
| Chapter 1: New Arrivals | Using Stasis on the malfunctioning door below the Tram Control Room before Daniels's call. | Log: Stasis Door |
| Chapter 1: New Arrivals | Attaching the right claw in the Tram Repair Room with Stasis before Daniels's call. | Log: Autoloader |
| Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent | Damaging or killing the first Brute in the Main Atrium before Hammond's call. | Log: Shoot It In the Back |
| Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent | Switching the last of the three power breakers. If Mining Administration or Electrical Systems is still left, its log never plays this run. Rerouting Mining Administration first, Electrical Systems second and Water Purification last keeps both logs. | Log: Mining Admin Rerouted, Log: Watch the Outlets |
| Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard | Walking into Food Storage through the Central Hub's east airlock. If the Enzyme was not crafted first, "Go to Food Storage" can no longer play in this run. | Log: Go to Food Storage |
| Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard | Injecting Wheezer 01 in West Seedling Room B. If it was not shot first, "Use the Enzyme" can no longer play in this run. | Log: Use the Enzyme |
| Chapter 7: Into the Void | Starting "You Are Not Authorized" any other way before trying the Tools Storage door: using the Captain's Nest's Bridge Security console (from Chapter 4), or, by one report, picking up a crew RIG first. The call then never plays in this run, and New Game+ begins with the Master Override, so it can't play there either. | Log: Custom Lockdown (starts You Are Not Authorized) |
