Tips
  • Consider fully upgrading your Rig (Isaac's suit) if you have enough Power Nodes.
  • Use stasis to slow down enemies or environmental hazards.
  • Traps can be invaluable for controlling groups of enemies, especially Stalkers.
  • The Detonator is a weapon that deploys proximity mines, useful for setting up ambushes.
  • Be prepared for enemy ambushes when calling the tram.
  • Stalkers are best dealt with using traps or by drawing them out and using fast reflexes.
  • Wall Necromorphs can be dangerous; focus on destroying their tentacles first.
