Dead Space Remake Guide | All Chapter 2 Collectibles Locations

Chapter 2 is riddled with resources that can upgrade your guns, give you vital resources, and kickstart optional missions.  This guide will walk you through finding all the treasure found in chapter 2, from new guns and blueprints to voice recordings adding depth to the story. Follow through the guide so you won't miss any collectibles as you navigate the creepy corridors of the USG Ishimura.

Kinesis Module

The Kinesis Module is found at the beginning of Chapter 2. It is a utility tool with which you can push things aside from the path, as is required in order to proceed through the level. Be sure to collect it early because you will be using it for all sorts of puzzles as well as navigational problems all the way through the chapter.

Pulse Rifle

Shortly after finding the Kinesis Module, the module is coerced into use by pushing off the large containers blocking the passage. Continue down the ramps and through the Medical Tram Station, where there is a last-second security guard. After he is eliminated, the Pulse Rifle is acquired, bringing a formidable automatic gun onto the battlefield.

Power Node

The next is the Power Node, which is in the area of Imaging Diagnostics. After stepping aside a little box, there is a power outlet plugged into a receptacle. Before going any further, go to the closest room and find the Power Node mounted onto the wall. Be careful because there is an ambush from the necromorphs.

Audio Logs: Patient Harris & Risks Taken

After you switch the last area's breaker, turn around and proceed straight through the other area. This is the area where the Patient Harris log can be retrieved.  After the elevator switch is thrown from the breaker, proceed upwards through the area with the log, Calculated Risks of who is lying in bed. Notice the little, creeping necromorphs here.

Pulse Round Design

After entering through the Coolant Pipes, you would be inside a zero-g area where you would have to walk through the air. In the door at the entrance's left is the Pulse Rounds Schematic, where the shop is selling the ammunition for the pulse gun.

Nicole's Log & Activation of the side quests

Inside the Main Laboratory, you'll come across a battle with more enemies. After clearing the area of the necromorphs, proceed through Dr. Brennan's office on the first floor, where the log is. This log also initiates the Scientific Methods side quest. The Anonymized Transcript is also In the same area.

More audio recordings and collectibles

Marker Discovery is seen when entering from the left of Dr. Kyne's office.  A second log, They Defy Death Itself, is seen in the bathroom stall nearest Dr. Kyne's office. Near Dr. Brennan's office is the Stasis Pack Schematic, with which the store can be resupplied with stasis packets.

Weapon Upgrade: Cartridge Rack

This chapter also has a notable collectible: the Cartridge Rack, the upgrade for the Plasma Cutter.  It is located at the site where the bomb was planted.  Plant the bomb, and then get cover from the explosion wall before proceeding through the aftermath of the resulting explosion to the next room. The Cartridge Rack is on the workbench beside the explosion wall.

Emergency Room Logs & Progress

Inside the emergency ward, the Patient Observations log is also at a patient's bedside. A hologram event is present nearby as part of the Scientific Methods side quest. Wait until the doctor exits before going up to a control panel, which unlocks the secret area. Inside is Nicole's Study and the second log. Continue through the side quest.

Final Logs and Nodes

Throughout the level, there are also more collectibles, such as the Problems of the Colony log and the Security Clearance door Power Node. A log entitled Rats in the Walls is also found with the wall-mounted icon of an envelope.  As you approach the Morgue, the Autopsy Report log is there, and you will gain Security Clearance Level 1 later.

Final Collectibles and Backtracking

With Security Clearance Level 1, the area previously inaccessible is revisitable.  Re-enter the Coolant Pipes, the region of the Diagnostics Wing, then continue through the region of the Zero-G Therapy.  In there, the last Power Node is inside the container locked earlier, concluding the Chapter 2 collectibles search.
