Welcome to the Dead Space remake Trophy & Achievement guide!
6/10 Estimated Difficulty
30 – 40 Estimated Hours to completion
2 Minimum Play-throughs, but 3 is Preferred.
2 Missable – Front Toward Enemy & Reunion
Impossible!
This can be done in 2 play-throughs, but that is going to require your very first play-through of the game to be on the Impossible difficulty setting. The reason for this is because Impossible cannot be done on New Game Plus unless your initial play-through is on that difficulty. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to play through on easy first getting all the upgrades and then do Impossible on NG+. It has to be done on a brand new save.
So, the easier way forward is to play through the game and NG+ on whatever difficulty you choose. Get everything done on those two play-throughs and then do Impossible last. That way you won’t have to go out of your way for misc. Trophies/Achievements. You’ll be able to just focus on getting through Impossible.
Collectables
There are a lot of collectibles to find in Dead Space. You’re going to be looking for Logs, Weapons, Weapon Upgrades, Suit Upgrades and side quest items. Luckily, the game is pretty forgiving with these. You can backtrack to any place on the Ishimura for almost the entire game. So, if you miss something, you can go back at almost any point and pick it up. This applies to every collectible type.
The point of no return is the very end of Chapter 11. The game will warn you when you reach this point. It would be best to make a separate manual save at this point just to be safe. You will also want to make a separate manual save at the beginning of Chapter 9. More on that below.
If you happen to miss out on any collectibles on your first play-through, your progress will carry over to NG+ and you’ll be able to clean up anything you may have missed.
There is a text Collectible Guide at the bottom of this Trophy/Achievement guide that will walk you through everything you need to find including misc. Trophies/Achievements and side quests.
Missables
Despite being able to backtrack to almost anywhere. There are two missables to be aware of. “Front Toward Enemy” takes place in Chapter 9. After you finish Chapter 9, you will not be able to go to that specific location. So, you want to make a manual save just in case at the beginning of the chapter. There are collectibles that can be missed in there as well as “Front Toward Enemy.”
The other missable is “Reunion.” That is earned by seeing the alternate ending. In order to do that, you will need to collect 12 Marker fragments on NG+ and place them in a specific location. They are only available on NG+. If you beat NG+ with collecting and placing them, you will need to play through again.

Set A Benchmark
Complete the game on Medium difficulty or above.
See the “Untouchable” Trophy/Achievement below for more details.
Untouchable
Complete the game in Impossible Mode.
Impossible is the hardest difficulty in the game. If you’re a Dead Space series veteran, don’t worry. This is not a three save difficulty like in Dead Space 2.
The actual game difficulty here is Hard. The extra layer of difficulty here is that you are only allowed to use one save file. You can save as many times as you want, but it can only be done on one save file slot. In fact, you have to manually save. Auto saving will be turned off. You will also not be able to play this on NG+. It has to be done on a brand new play-through.
If you die, the game will allow you to continue, but the difficulty will be automatically changed from Impossible to Hard. That means it’ll end your Trophy/Achievement run and you’ll have to start over. So you cannot die at all on Impossible or else you’ll need to start over.
However, you are allowed to quit the game. That means you can save your game and then back up the save file to either the cloud or to a USB drive. If you die, you can just download your backed up save file and continue. If you use the cloud for this, make sure you have auto upload turned OFF.
Below are some tips to help you get through Impossible mode.
- Collect as many Nodes as you can.
- Collect as many credits as you can.
- Stomp on dead enemies to get them to drop items or credits.
- You can run away from some enemies avoiding a fight all together.
- Stasis will slow enemies down help you run by them or kill them.
- Refill your Stasis every chance you get at the wall mounted stations.
- Use Kinesis to shoot explosives and sharp objects at enemies.
- You can use Kinesis on dead enemy limbs and use those as weapons. The blades from enemies do a lot of damage.
- The Plasma Cutter is the strongest weapon in the game. Focus on upgrading this.
- Upgrade your suit.
- Pick up and sell the Peng! collectible.
- Keep your health in the green at all times.
- Maintain a constant stock of health and ammo.
- Make sure your weapon is reloaded and ready for a fight at all times.
- Take your time and don’t be hasty.
- Completing objectives often spawns enemies. Make sure you’re ready for a fight before completing an objective.
- Try to be aware of where enemies can spawn. Look for the vents on the walls and ceiling.
- The Line Gun is good for hitting multiple limbs in a single shot.
- The Force Gun is very powerful when upgraded and the ammo can be sold for 6,000 credits in case you’re running low on health or other ammo.
- During the final Hive Mind boss, kill the exploders without blowing up their explosive arms. You can use Kinesis on those and throw them at the boss’ weak points which will damage multiple targets at the same time.
- Save your game every time you come across a save station.
Trusted Contractor
Complete New Game Plus on any difficulty mode.
New Game Plus will be unlocked upon completing the game for the first time. The option to start NG+ will be added to the main menu.
NG+ is not only needed for this Trophy/Achievement, but it will also be needed to fully upgrade your suit, weapons and to see the alternate ending. A new collectible type will be introduced in NG+ as well. These are called, Marker Fragments. There are 12 of them and they will need to all be collected in order to see the alternate ending. The locations of those can be found in the NG+ Collectible Guide.
All of your upgrades, weapons and logs will be carried over. So anything you may have missed on your first time through will be available here.
NG+ will raise the difficulty a bit by making enemies stronger and by introducing different variants of the necromorphs.
Full Arsenal
Own every weapon in the game.
There are nine different weapons in the game. You’ll find most of them by following the story objectives, but there are some that are in optional areas. You’ll need clearance levels to get to some of the optional areas as well.
- Plasma Cutter – Chapter 1
- Stasis Module – Chapter 1

All of the locations for the weapons as well as the clearance levels are included in the Collectible Guide below.
Built To Order
Install every weapon upgrade.
There are 21 weapon upgrades to install across the nine different weapons.
Each time you find a weapon upgrade, you will need to interact with a workbench and the upgrades will be automatically applied. These will open more Node slots on the weapons so you can raise their stats further.
The weapon upgrades are often in optional areas that are going to require Master Clearance and level 3 clearance.
All of the locations for the weapon upgrades as well as the clearance levels are included in the Collectible Guide below.

Remember, you need to do this on a playthrough when you are not going for the “One Gun” Trophy/Achievement.
Live with the Hot Ones
Kill 30 enemies with the Flamethrower.
The Flamethrower is first found in Chapter 3. All you have to do is equip it and kill 30 enemies with it.

The Ripper is first found in Chapter 3. All you have to do is equip it and kill 30 enemies with it.

Remember, you need to do this on a playthrough when you are not going for the “One Gun” Trophy/Achievement.
One Gun
Beat the game using only the Plasma Cutter.
This may sound difficult, but it really isn’t. The Plasma Cutter will be the first weapon you get in the game, but it is a very powerful weapon. You’ll still be able to use Kinesis, Stasis and Melee. Just do not use any other projectile weapon.
When going for this, make sure to fully upgrade the Plasma Cutter.
When you find other weapons, put them in your storage as soon as you can to avoid accidentally using them. Not only will that prevent an accident from happening, but it will also make the game only give you Plasma Cutter ammo. You’ll only find ammo for the guns you’re carrying. So if you only have the Plasma Cutter, you’ll be finding plenty of ammo.
This can be done on any difficulty as well.
Pack Rat
Place 25 items in Storage.
As you progress through the game you’ll be picking up a lot of items and ammo. All you have to do here is store 25 items.
Your item storage can be accessed by interacting with the various stores that you’ll come across. Select an item from your inventory and choose to send it to storage in the store menu.
There has to be 25 items stored all together at the same time. It’s not cumulative and you can’t transfer over the same item back and forth 25 times.
Story Teller
Collect 75 Logs.
See the “Legend Teller” Trophy/Achievement below for more details.
Legend Teller
Collect 150 Logs.
The Logs are a type of collectible in Dead Space. You can find these in the environment and you’ll be given some automatically as part of the story. There are more than 150 and if you miss any, your progress will carry over to NG+. So, you’ll be able to pick up anything if missed.
Follow the Collectible Guide below for their locations.
Merchant
Collect all Schematics.
Schematics are another type of collectible. Finding these will unlock items in the stores that you can buy. There are 13 schematics to collect.
Follow the Collectible Guide below for their locations.
Marksman
Dismember 50 Limbs.
See the “Surgeon” Trophy/Achievement below for more details.
Surgeon
Dismember 500 Limbs.
This is something that you will come naturally over time as you play through the game and complete the Trophy/Achievement list.
The main way to kill the enemies is to dismember their limbs. You’re going to be doing this during every enemy encounter. This list is going to require 2 to 3 playthroughs depending on your preference, so you will be dismembering more than enough limbs over the course of multiple playthroughs.
Wishbone
Rip off a dangling limb using Kinesis.
Shoot an enemy’s limb to weaken it, but don’t shoot it off completely. When the limb is weakened, use Kinesis on it and you’ll pull it off.
Raise The Stakes
Pin an enemy.
Part of dealing with enemies in Dead Space is using the environment. As you play through the game, there will be metal poles that you can use to kill enemies. They can be single on the ground, or that can be legs of a small shelf. Melee the shelf and the poles holding it up will collapse. Use Kinesis on one to pick it up and then shoot it at an enemy.
In order to get this Trophy/Achievement, you’re going to need to use one of these poles to stick an enemy to the wall.
Freeze
Use Stasis on 50 enemies.
You can use Stasis on enemies in order to slow them down when they’re attacking or chasing you. You can use Stasis multiple times on the same enemy if you’d like as well. Just wait for it to wear off before using it again.
This is a mechanic that will be very helpful when encountering multiple enemies at the same time. So, this is something that should come naturally, as long as you’re remembering to use it.
Backbreaker
Kill 10 enemies with a stomp attack.
Despite the wording of this, you actually have to use a single stomp on an enemy in order for it to count toward this. Weakening an enemy and then stomping on them will not count.
The best way to get this is to stomp on the small baby like enemies. One stomp will be enough to kill them.
Later in the game you’ll be introduced to the Guardian enemy type. These are the enemies that are anchored to the walls. They will spit out small enemies at you. You can farm this Trophy/Achievement at those types.
Don’t kill the Guardian. Instead, let it spit out enemies at you and then stomp on them. Keeping doing this until the Trophy/Achievement pops.
Maxed Out
Fully upgrade all weapons and equipment.
In order to unlock this, you’re going to have to do a few things over the course of multiple play-throughs.
You’ll need to find all of the Nodes and all of the weapon/equipment upgrades.
First, you’re going to need to find all of the Nodes. These are used for upgrading your equipment at workbenches. Below is a breakdown of how many nodes you can get.
It is going to cost 189 Nodes to fully upgrade everything.
- 57 to find in the environment of a single play-through.
- 21 for finding all weapon upgrades
- 10 for beating the game.
That’s a total of 88 for a single play-through.
You’re going to have to collect all 57 on your NG+ play-through and that’ll get you to 145. For the remaining 44, you’re going to have to buy them from the stores. They will cost 10,000 credits each. So, you’re going to have to grind out 440,000 credits.
Comb through the Ishimura and pick up all of the credits that you can. You’ll also be able to find Semiconductors that you can sell as well. Also, make sure to fin Peng! and sell it for 30,000 credits.
Luckily, there is a somewhat quick method to grind out some money. Keep a gun that you’ll use and then just have the Force Gun in your inventory so you find the ammo for it. The ammo can sell for a lot of credits.
Overall though, you should come up with enough credits across your two playthroughs as long as you’re thorough.
Just having the Nodes won’t be enough. You also need to find all of the weapon upgrades. Once you have an upgrade, go to a workbench and it’ll auto install on the weapon which will open more Node slots.
All of the Nodes and Upgrade locations can be found in the Collectible Guide below.
Front Toward Enemy
Survive the Shooting Gallery.
MISSABLE
This Trophy/Achievement can be earned in Chapter 9.

Complete Level 6 in Zero-G Basketball.
This can be earned in Chapter 10.
In the cafeteria of the Crew Deck is a big circular door. Go in there and you’ll see four hoops. Interact with the computer console to start the game.
In order to get the Trophy/Achievement and Node, you’re going to have to beat level 6 of Z-Ball. That is going to require scoring 220 points.
All you have to do here is use Kinesis on the ball and shoot it into the hoops. You’ll get 5 or 10 points for making it in a hoop. When a hoop is glowing, shoot the ball into it and you’ll be given extra time. Always shoot for the extra time hoops and you should have no problem with this as long as you are quick and accurate. After scoring 220 points, the lockers in the cafeteria will open up and the Node will be in locker six.
There’s Always Peng!
Find the Peng Treasure.
Peng can be collected in Chapter 11.
Follow the objective marker to the Cargo Bay. When you enter, there will be a work bench on your left and a small platform elevator on your right. Go down the elevator.

This is earned by completing the side quest “You Are Not Authorized.”
