Alternate Solutions Summary

Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions Detailed Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Transfer the Marker to the Loading Bay. Take the tram to the Hangar-Cargo-Tram Control Station. Go out to the Cargo Bay and down the elevator, and shoot the yellow sac in front of you. Go to the Cargo Control panel and activate it to engage the cargo crane and retrieve the Marker. Defeat all the enemies around to proceed, then go to the middle of the bridge and clear out the Tentacles and other enemies. Then, use the Bridge Control panel to lift the side of the bridge blocking the Marker and advance it, and if any get growths get in the way, find the yellow sac attached to them and shoot it to allow the Marker to continue. This is your chance to get the Peng Treasure for 30,000 Credits!
2	Meet Kyne at the Hangar Bay. Go out to the Hangar Bay, then go to the terminal to deactivate the gravity. Fly down to the area directly in front of you and find the Marker to your right. Interact with the terminal to release the Marker, then walk outside and go left to find a battery you can plug in to a socket, and use the circuit breaker to restore power to the Cargo Rail Tracks. Look up to find a platform with terminals on it, then go up and use the terminals to make the Marker advance while dealing with monsters. You'll need to defeat all the monsters here to make the objective advance. Restore the gravity and go to meet Dr. Kyne.
3	Fly the Shuttle to the Colony. Go to Flight Control and use the terminal to recall the shuttle. Go out to the shuttle and board it to end the Chapter.

Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions Tips and Strategies

Get the Peng Treasure

The Peng Treasure is a one-of-a-kind item which can be sold for a whopping 30,000 Credits. Simply find the Kinesis boxes blocking a locker in the Cargo Bay, and you've got yourself a wad of cash!

Where to Find the Peng Treasure

Stock Up on Ammo and Stasis Packs

Most of this section will just be all-out shootouts. Stores are far from the area where you will have to face multiple enemies so it is highly recommended that you stock up on ammo and stasis packs.

Upgrade Your Weapons and Suit

By this point, you should already have reached the Level 5 Suit and hopefully maximized its HP upgrades as well. You'd also do well to upgrade at least one primary weapon to maximum damage to have a reliable tool to take with you as you exit the Ishimura and go down to the Colony.

That said, there are still Shops and Benches in Chapter 12, so you don't have to worry about spending all your money now.
