Quick Links
When it comes to games, developers love to put all sorts of secrets in for players to discover. The remake of Dead Space does this as well, and EA Motive made sure to hide lots of surprises for players to stumble upon.
While the original cheat codes are not in this version of the game, they have been replaced with a new set of secret codes. The tricky part is that these codes can only be activated in a certain part of the USG Ishimura. Here is where Dead Space players need to go to activate these codes along with what they do.
This guide contains mild spoilers, so players should proceed with caution.
Where to Use the Codes
In the Bridge section of the USG Ishimura, there is a break room on the first floor. This area can be reached by using the elevator in the atrium. The earliest that players can access this area is during the fourth chapter after they have killed the Brute that emerges from the security room. Since players can freely explore the USG Ishimura, this room can be accessed at any time prior to the end of the eleventh chapter. The first time that players enter this room, it will trigger a conversation where Kendra and Isaac talk about Unitology and the footage displayed on the wall.
Upon further examination, players will notice a strange red circle on the ground that is surrounded by candles. In order to use the codes, players will need to stand in this circle. Within the circle is a ring of symbols that look like bloody footprints and handprints. These symbols are a code, and they describe a series of actions that Dead Space players need to do within the circle. The handprint means melee and the footprint means stomp.
When inputting the codes, players must make sure that they stay inside the circle, or they will have to start all over again. When a code is put in correctly, the circle will glow and the screen on the wall will turn red for a few seconds.
What Are the Codes?
There are three codes that players can use at the circle in the break room. One is in the break room, while others can be found in other areas like the Crew Deck in the tenth chapter. The three codes are as follows, along with what they unlock. M is short for Melee, S is short for stomp.
The First Code: M, M, S, M, M, S, S, M, M, M, S, S (Gives 2 Power Nodes)
The Second Code: M, S, S, S, M, S, M, S, S, S, M, S (Unlocks a cryptic text log)
The Third Code: M, S, M, M, S, M, S, M, M, M, M, S (Unlocks an audio log featuring a catchy sea shanty in it)
Dead Space is available now on PlayStation 5, Steam, and Xbox Series X/S.
