Blade Runner reference: ----------------------- Enter Sevastopol station in mission 2. After checking in with the android, explore the station to find origami foil unicorns in various locations. This is a reference to another Ridley Scott film, Bladerunner, where Harrison Ford finds one at the end of the movie. General Tips: ------------- * Sound is huge in this game. Make sure you have the TV cranked up or headphones on so you can listen to the Alien, just as it listens for you. * Never run. Ever. The Alien hears louder footsteps, so running is almost always suicide. * Avoid fighting other enemies. The Alien isn't the only threat in the game, but stealth is your best approach even against other humans and androids. * Watch out for the Alien drool that means it's in a vent above you. Walking under the Alien guarantees death. * The flamethrower and molotov are two of the only items/weapons that work against the Alien. Burning the Alien can often save you from instant death, as it runs away from the fire. * Alien: Isolation is very much a trial-and-error kind of game. The Alien will often find you, so it's about adjusting on the fly and doing your best to move quietly at any given moment. Don't feel too bad if you die a lot in the process. * Craft items often. You don't want to be holding onto materials for a long time, otherwise it's just a waste. * Two simple words: save often. Higher shadow map resolutions: ------------------------------ Use a text editor to edit the "ENGINE_SETTINGS.XML" file in the directory. "SteamSteamAppscommonAlien IsolationDATA".

Attack him a couple of times with the maintenance jack from behind. This will put the android in combat mode, and he will counter all frontal attacks. Run away and hide until the android goes back to his post. Then, sneak up to him again, and perform some strikes from behind. Keep repeating this until he is dead to get the "My Turn Now" achievement. Easy "One Shot" achievement or trophy: -------------------------------------- Play under the Novice difficulty setting. Quickly open the menu before you dying in order to continue. If you actually end up dying, do not load the current saved game. Instead, use the second option to load the previous save. Although this will resume the game further back, it prevents the death from counting.
