Once the little army of Necromorphs is gone the Hive Mind will start phase two with a series of tentacle slams. This is a great time to pull out the Contact Beam which will kill most of these extras in a single shot, but any weapon with good damage and a wide blast area will work wonders. You can quickly grab all the loot while the boss is writhing in pain.Ībout 20 seconds after you destroy the final weak spot, Necromorphs will start climbing up over the cliff in the front of the arena. Once all four are destroyed there is a little bit of downtime before the next phase, so take a moment to switch to the Pulse Rifle and shoot all the Item Boxes you may have noticed littering the side of the arena. Use the Save Station, then open the next shutter using the nearby computer before exiting via the Storage Chamber door. Transport the Marker Through Storage Chamberįollow the Marker as it passes through the shutter, through the door to Storage Chamber.

The encounter should wrap up shortly after the brute is defeated, allowing you to use the computer across from the Guardian door to lift the bridge and allow the Marker to pass through the Junction. As usual it can easily be defeated with Stasis and a few shots in the back (Contact Beam works wonders), just be careful not to get run up on by other enemies while focusing on the brute. Partway through the encounter one of the giant brute Necromorphs will enter the fight. Just like before, keep moving, keep using Stasis and Stasis stations, and beware the sticky ground! When you step back inside the Marker will already be advancing, triggering another Necromorph encounter. Land on the elevator platform and head back into the Junction. Continue shooting the Tendrils along the way, and passing through each set of fans until you get back to the top.
