Learn how to effectively use the Kinesis ability in Dead Space Remake. This guide covers its uses, limitations, and advanced strategies for combat and puzzle-solving.
Walkthrough
- 1Using Kinesis in Combat: Kinesis can be used to pick up and throw environmental objects like metal shards, explosive canisters, or even severed limbs at enemies. This is particularly useful when you're low on ammunition or want to conserve resources. Aiming Kinesis at specific weak points on certain enemies can also stagger them.
- 2Solving Puzzles with Kinesis: Many puzzles throughout the USG Ishimura require the use of Kinesis. This includes moving heavy objects to activate switches, redirecting power conduits, or clearing debris blocking pathways. You'll often need to find specific objects that can be manipulated by Kinesis to progress.
- 3Upgrading Kinesis: As you progress through the game, you can find Power Nodes to upgrade Isaac's RIG, which includes enhancements to the Kinesis module. Upgrades can increase the force and range of Kinesis, allowing you to throw objects further and with more impact, or even lift heavier items.
- 4Environmental Interactions: Pay attention to the environment. Many objects that can be manipulated by Kinesis will glow with a blue aura when you activate the ability. Some objects, like explosive canisters, can be strategically placed or thrown for maximum effect against groups of enemies.
Tips
- Always be on the lookout for throwable objects, especially during intense combat encounters.
- Experiment with Kinesis on different enemy types to see which objects are most effective.
- Kinesis can be used to retrieve items from a distance or to pull levers that are out of reach.
- Upgrading Kinesis can significantly improve its utility in both combat and puzzle-solving.
- Be mindful of the energy drain when using Kinesis; it consumes power from your RIG.
