PengEdit

The term "Peng" is believed by many to be a type of erotic entrainment/services featuring an attractive woman. Many also believe that Peng may also be referring to a type of recreational drug, or both. Aboard the USG Ishimura and Titan Station, multiple posters and graffiti found on the walls of the Sprawl feature a female with lines such as: "I Want More Peng." Or more notably: "There's Always Peng!" In multiple languages, "Peng" is often slang for "attractive" or "money." See Trivia section for more information.

Dead SpaceEdit

In Dead Space The Peng Treasure is only accessible in Chapter 11 of the game, but the Treasure can be seen in Chapter 1: New Arrivals; The Treasure can be found and picked up by Kinesis in a dividing lane between two entry lanes in the hangar bay. It is located on the floor between the two large walkways. You will need to use Kinesis in order to pick up the Treasure. Once you obtain the Peng Treasure, you will unlock an Achievement/Trophy titled "There's Always Peng!" Which is worth 15 Gamerscore on Xbox 360, and a Bronze Trophy on PlayStation 3. The Peng Treasure can be sold in a Store for 30,000 (Xbox 360 platform) Credits, making it the most valuable treasure found in the game.

Dead Space 2Edit

In Dead Space 2, The Peng Treasure can be found in Chapter 7: Power from the Sun. After using Watchman Phillips' corpse to unlock the door of his office and navigating three successive corridors to come upon the mainframe room, there are two chambers you must enter to defeat the mainframe's lockout. In the left chamber right next to the access hatch the player comes out of (entering the left chamber) there is another diagram showing the player how to arrange the various circuits, different from the diagram to unlock the lockout. When you arrange the circuits shown on the diagram they will turn blue instead of green. Upon completion, another reroute button will become exposed. Use that button to rotate the access hatch to enter the back room; The Treasure is found in the back of the room, in clear sight, sitting upright on the floor. Collecting the Peng Treasure will award the player with the Achievement/Trophy 'Collect Peng.' It can be sold in the Store for 10,000 Credits.
