1chp

1. Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion takes place on the Medical Deck, first visited in Chapter 2: Intensive Care.

2chp

2. Receive a video transmission from Kendra once you leave the tram. Enter the Security Station and hear a strange message from a disembodied voice. Note the unlocked locker and Save Station. A Store is to the right.

3chp

3. Continue through the Imaging Diagnostics door after Kendra unlocks it and be met by a pair of Lurkers.

4chpp

4. Enter Imaging Diagnostics and raid the unlocked locker on the left.

5chpp

5. Use Kinesis to pick up this explosive canister in the right corner.

6chpp

6. Carry the canister across the room to this new wall-mounted Necromorph, the Guardian. Launch the canister at the Guardian for a quick kill.

7chpp

7. Find a pick-up here before riding the lift to the walkway above.

8chpp

8. Battle a Lurker then use Stasis to slow the quickly-oscillating bridge, allowing you to pass. Repeat on the other side then continue toward Zero-G Therapy.

9chpp

9. Pass through a Chemical Research Lab door, ride a lift down then find the Mercer's Experiment 1 audio log.

10chpp

10. Enter the Chemical Research Lab at the end of the hallway and take a good look at these bottled Necromorphs. The one on the right sure looks big. A storage bin, two supply crates, a Power Node, the Force Energy Schematic and a pick-up are available.

11chpp

11. Activate the Batch Mixer then grab the Capsule to update your objectives.

12chpp

12. The quite-insane Dr. Mercer appears at this window. Ready a weapon as you listen to his rant.

13chpp

13. Dr. Mercer unleashes this new, terrifying Necromorph, the Hunter. Dismember the Hunter's legs or use Stasis to slow him down long enough for Kendra to unlock the Imaging Diagnostics door. The Hunter has the ability to regenerate severed limbs, making him essentially impossible to kill with conventional weaponry.

14chpp

14. Escape to Imaging Diagnostics, leaving the Hunter back in the Chemical Research Lab. Proceed carefully as several Swarm waves are waiting for you. Stasis and a Line Gun mine take them out nicely.

15chpp

15. Return to the Security Station. Your next stop is through the previously-barricaded door to the Ishimura Clinic.

16chpp

16. A very intense battle is coming up, so I recommend grabbing some items at the Store before continuing to the Clinic. I purchase Med Packs, Line Racks and two Power Nodes, allowing me to maximize the Line Gun's damage back at the Upgrade Bench in Imaging Diagnostics.

17chpp

17. Enter the Ishimura Clinic and listen to creepy Dr. Mercer again. His last words are, "Say your prayers."

18chpp

18. Continue through the Emergency Room door to the right. Quickly grab as many pick-ups as you can before the action starts.

19chpp

19. The regenerating Hunter is back, and this time he brought his friends.

20chpp

20. Stasis the Hunter to hold him still (or shoot his legs). This will give you a short amount of time to focus on defeating the other Necromorphs.

21chpp

21. The fight continues until everyone but the Hunter is defeated. Key to winning this fight is the ability to keep moving and pick up loot from your fallen foes, all while incapacitating the Hunter with Stasis or by hobbling him.

22chpp

22. Kendra unlocks the door to Hallway A once only you and the Hunter remain. Make a last pass to grab any loot you can (including two unlocked lockers in a central room) then exit.

23chpp

23. The Hunter will not follow you out of the Emergency Room. In fact, it's fun to taunt him from the doorway. Just be sure to step back if he gets too close, as his arms have quite a reach.

24chpp

24. Find a pick-up to the right of the Emergency Room door then loot two lockers in this room. Find a pick-up left of the explosive canister seen on the left.

25chpp

25. Launch the canister at this Guardian at the end of the corridor. A pick-up is directly ahead and a Gold Semiconductor is in the left corner.

26chpp

26. This understandably hysterical woman is at the end of the corridor to the right where you can find two more pick-ups.

27chpp

27. Continue past the Guardian to the Intensive Care Unit. Use the Save Station on the left before entering Dr. Mercer's office on the right.

28chpp

28. Mercer's office is suitably creepy, with Unitology symbols on the walls and dismembered heads on the shelves. Listen to the Mercer's Experiment 2 audio log then grab all the pick-ups, including a Gold Semiconductor, cash, two supply crates and a Medium Air Can.

29chpp

29. Only after all the loot has been gathered should you activate the Batch Mixer. Grab the DNA sample then get ready to run.

30chpp

30. Mercer vents the atmosphere out of the Medical Deck and you're suddenly in a vacuum. You need to rush back to the Security Station and restore life support. A veritable menagerie of Necromorphs, including the Hunter, attempt to block your path. There's no need to stay and fight all of these Necromorphs as your Air is running out. Stasis when you need to and just run passed them.

31chpp

31. Follow your locator back to the Security Station and restore life support here.

32chpp

32. If you're up for it, head back to the Ishimura Clinic with the lights down and the sound up - just to hang out. It's not necessary to finish your objectives but is chillingly thrilling. The Hunter is no longer bound to the Emergency Room.

33chpp

33. Back to the task at hand. Fill up on needed items at the Store then re-enter Imaging Diagnostics.

34chpp

34. Return to the Chemical Research Lab and use the Batch Mixer one last time. Pick up the capsule then exit once the door on the right unlocks.

35chpp

35. Keep right to find the fifth clue to the Five-Node Cheat, a left arrow. The fifth character of the cheat is an X. Two supply crates are to the left. Approach the Save Station seen far-right.

36chpp

36. Raid the lockers on the left and use the Save Station before heading into the Cryogenics Lab.

37chpp

37. Quickly fill up on Stasis at the Stasis Recharge if you aren't already full-up.

38chpp

38. Don't worry about grabbing pick-ups just yet; there will be plenty of time for that later. For now, take up position here inside the cryo-chamber. Listen to Dr. Mercer and wait for him to unleash the Hunter one last time.

39chpp

39. This is an exceptionally easy fight if you know what to do, impossible if you don't. Lure the Hunter into the cryo-chamber then Stasis him. Alternately, you can hobble him by shooting his legs. The important thing is that he be incapacitated inside the chamber.

40chpp

40. Quickly head up this ramp then enter the control room.

41chpp

41. Use this panel to activate the cryo-chamber before the Hunter has a chance to escape.

42chpp

42. Several Lurkers attack. The Line Gun mops them up without much difficulty.

43chpp

43. Kendra chimes in while the now-frozen Hunter is placed alongside the room's other frozen specimens. You've put the Hunter on ice, for now. Congratulations!

44chpp

44. Collect your loot, making sure not to miss this Power Node inside the control room. Exit out the now-unlocked Tram Station door on the right.

45chpp

45. Grab this final pick-up in the station's waiting area then board the tram and use the panel to complete the level.
