Dead Space 3 Walkthrough Discussion

Please use this thread to discuss the Dead Space 3 walkthrough

The walkthrough has now been published.

You can find it here: Dead Space 3 Walkthrough

The Devil's Horn has a clipsize of 2000 bullets. This is a huge amount and may feel like infinite ammo. However if you try to play without ammo in your inventory then you will run out.

Some achievements are instantiated twice in the walkthrough. "axes high" and "dropping acid" are on the miscellaneous and the story walkthrough page.

Theo Boots said:Odd, I never noticed. So it has a hidden 2k clipsize that will have to reload from ammo in your inv when emptied? I used it a bit and never reloaded or carried ammo. Just want to understand fully before making any change to the WT.


Theo Boots said:I fixed this. Thanks.

vSully said:I guess you have to try a bit more. For some inspiration you can have a look at these threads:

============= EDIT =============

vSully said:When I read your comment I was pleased. Seeing the result took a while, presumably because of proofreading. Today I had a look at the re-published walkthrough.

Try to understand fully before making any changes. There are only 13 achievements on the miscellaneous page. It would not take a big effort to check all of them instead of just the two examples I gave.
Two more examples: Empty Chamber and electric lawnmower.
(While checking for double achievements you might want to include the other pages.)

Everybody is eager to finish and clean up their walkthrough. This need for speed makes us forget some of the basics sometimes. I guess it happens to the best of us.

========== END EDIT =============

Regarding the resource packs you might want to give some more advice.
Never buy the 60-seals pack.
2 x the 30-seals pack is a better deal.
In classic mode only buy the 10-seals pack because you can't craft weapons. Any weapon parts you get are useless.

Best Regards,

Theo Boots

Probably worth puttying on the general info page somewhere; DLC now voids the ability to use the Devil's Horns.

So, if you have downloaded the DLC, the game now brings in a hidden update that adds a special code in any new save file you create/modify telling it not to allow the Devil Horns in the other game modes. If you try to delete the DLC and clear cache, the game will not allow you to load any of the previous saves. It does not even matter if you never played the DLC.

There is a way around it though. After completing Classic mode, simply erase DLC and start a new game not a new game+. You then have to play through an entire standard playthrough then do the Survivor and Hardcore. The good news is that the Devi's Horns are there already in the brand new game.

No DLC
Standard
Classic
Survivor
Hardcore

With DLC
Standard
Classic
Erase DLC Standard
Survivor
Hardcore

A little warning may be helpful to some folks reading your guide. I found out about this via the achievement guides for the Hardcore and Survivor. Nice work by the way, great job keeping up on the threads and thanks for the hard work.

EDIT: this has been fixed.

there seems to be a problem with page 5 of this walkthru. i posted it in the site bug forums and was told it may be some bad html code.

here's the bug report: [Fixed] bad page render (Dead Space 3 Walkthru pg. 5)
