Reach the command saucer | 3: The Lost Flotilla Dead Space 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Before you continue exploration, it would be worth to climb up the ladder to the catwalk - you'll find there two crates. Now open the large gate and move through the short corridor to another gate - open it too. You'll find yourself inside a huge chamber.

Upgrade Circuits 1/2 - After entering the huge chamber, turn right - there is a locker on the wall with an upgrade inside.

Climb up the ladder to find two crates. Get down and look for a power core lying on the table - it must be places in the slot next to the bench. Use kinesis to manipulate a core.

Side mission - Craft a weapon

After activating the bench, you'll obtain a side mission to build or upgrade a weapon.

A detailed description of how the bench works can be found in a relevant chapter of this guide.

If you were picking up all parts, you are able to build a weapon now. Select weapon crafting option and then build new weapon. There are two main stages now: selecting a frame (Heavy Standard Frame) and an upper tool (Tesla Core). The base of the weapon is created now. Accept your choice and the weapon will be moved to the safe (you can switch it with any weapons you currently have).

You can also add any attachments to your weapons, if you have any.

Reach the command saucer - continues

Once you are ready, open the large gate with "Quarantined" sign on it. Go through several empty rooms until you get to the long corridor, where few Necromorphs will attack you.

Empty all lockers on the corridor and go to its other side. You'll come across a crate blocking a passage - use kinesis to lift it up and move it. Go through the unlocked door.

You'll find yourself in a room looking like a small theater. There are two Necromorphs hanging from the ceiling - eliminate them from a distance. Once you start the attack, one more creature will come out running from the other entrance. Clear the room and exit it from the other side.

S.C.A.F. Artifacts 1/1 - In the theater room, in front of the screen on the ground.

You'll find yourself in a corridor again. Turn right, exterminating three Necromorphs encountered there, hanging from the ceiling. Examine all crates and lockers in the corridor and go through the only unlocked door.

Upgrade Circuits 2/2 - In the locker at the end of the corridor, on the right side.

Text Logs 1/2 - At the end of the corridor, next to the corpse and a crate.

Go down the ladder and open the next gate. You'll find yourself in the chamber with zero gravity. Start drifting forwards, eliminating three Necromorphs along your way - try to shoot off their tentacles, so they won't be able to attack you anymore. Do not forget about smashing crates and pick up crafting.

Text Logs 2/2 - Inside a room with a ladder leading up.

After getting to the other side, land and replenish stasis (if needed). Go through the door and then climb up the ladder. You'll get to the large chamber with a generator.
