Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After gaining control of Jacob Lee on your spaceship, pause the game and enter Photo Mode to take a picture for the 'Mugshot' achievement.
  2. 2
    Proceed down the hallway and enter the first door on your left to find a Bios (1/43) collectible inside a locker.
  3. 3
    Continue into the cargo bay. You will learn to vault over obstacles using !cn_LSu!cn_A and mantle using the same buttons.
  4. 4
    As you approach a flaming hole, you will earn the 'The Outer Way' achievement for finding the boarding craft.
  5. 5
    Crouch using !cn_B, shimmy through a tight space with !cn_LSu, and sprint using !cn_LB through a door.
  6. 6
    After a cut-scene, hold forward on the left stick to climb back into the captain's chair.
  7. 7
    In Chapter 2, after a dream sequence, you awaken in your prison cell. Exit your cell and head down the stairs to meet Elias.
  8. 8
    Elias will give you a shiv, unlocking the 'Desperate Times' achievement. Use the shiv on a control panel to unlock Elias' cell.
  9. 9
    Vault over boxes and shimmy past the door. In the next room, learn combat: hold !cn_LSl or !cn_LSr before an attack to dodge. Alternate dodges for consecutive attacks. Attack with !cn_RT after an enemy finishes their combo.
  10. 10
    Defeat the two inmates and the first Biophage. You can earn the 'Flesh Wound' achievement here by dismembering an enemy.
  11. 11
    Unlock Elias' cell with the computer console. Follow Elias to the elevator.
  12. 12
    Take the lift down a level. Leave the lift and crouch under debris.
  13. 13
    After the next Biophage, practice perfect dodges by flicking !cn_LS left or right as an opponent winds up their attack. Performing 5 perfect dodges unlocks the 'Float Like A Butterfly' achievement.
  14. 14
    Look for a glowing green wall storage unit to receive a health injector and learn how to use it.
Tips
  • The game is significantly easier after recent patches, making 'Maximum Security' difficulty more manageable.
  • Pay attention to enemy body language to know when to attack.
  • Mash !cn_Y to escape grabs and stomp on defeated enemies with !cn_Y.
  • The 'Float Like A Butterfly' achievement can be buggy; it's best to attempt it early.
