• Divider: Weak to explosive damage. Use the Plasma Cutter to shoot off arms, or Stasis to slow them down.
• Guardian: Weak to explosive damage. Use the Flamethrower's special ability "Fire Wall". Deal with spawned Pods quickly.
• Exploder: Has a large explosive sac on its arm. Keep distance and shoot the sac to cause it to explode.
• Infector: No specific weaknesses. Use Stasis to slow it down and attack with the Pulse Rifle. Prioritize eliminating Infectors to prevent corpses from becoming Necromorphs.
• Leaper: Speedy Necromorphs. Use Stasis to slow them and back away. Aim for their arms with the Plasma Cutter or Ripper.
• Lurker: Small and tricky. Shoot the three tentacles with the Plasma Cutter or Line Gun. Keep moving to avoid projectiles.
• Pregnant: Has a large sac on its stomach. Avoid shooting the sac, as it releases smaller enemies. Use Stasis and cut off arms with the Line Gun or Plasma Cutter.
• Slasher: No specific weaknesses. Use Stasis and cut off arms with the Line Gun or Plasma Cutter. Keep distance to avoid their close-range slashes.
• Swarmers: Attack in large groups. Press the indicated button repeatedly to fend them off. Use the Flamethrower to deal with groups effectively.
• Twitcher: Very quick enemies found later in the game. Use Stasis and the Line Gun to cut off their arms.
• Wheezer: Do not attack directly. Their purpose is to poison the air. Any weapon can be used to defeat them quickly.
• Spitter: Shoot their head to prevent spitting. Use Stasis to slow them down. After decapitation, use the Line Gun to remove arms.
• Brute: Weak points are on their back. Use Stasis to slow them and attack their back with the Flamethrower.
• Hunter: Cannot be defeated until later in the game. Use Stasis to slow them down and escape. Refer to specific guides for Chapter 10.
• The Tentacle: Appears in specific rooms. Focus fire on the glowing sac within a short time to avoid death. Pulse Rifle or Contact Beam are effective.
