OnceFallen Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Overview: -Estimated trophy difficulty: 2.5/10 -Offline (breakdown): 10 (8 , 1 , 1 ) -Online (breakdown): 2 (1 , 1 ) -Approximate amount of time to 100%: 3-5 Hours -Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 4 -Number of missable trophies: None -Glitched trophies: None -Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No Cheats Introduction: Dead Space: Ignition is a fun little digital comic book mixed with some puzzle games included. The story itself is a primer for Dead Space 2, giving you a little insight into happenings before you start off the main game. There are also multiple paths that you can take that can move the story in a number of different ways, giving you replay value to see all the possible storylines. The puzzles are of 3 different varieties, none of which is too difficult once you get the hang of them. Trophy wise, they are all straight forward with most being related to the different puzzle types and the rest based on completing the story itself. Walkthrough: Step 1: Playthrough Ignition Mode Play through a regular game in Ignition Mode normally and get a feel for the different hacking games while playing. After you complete the game successfully, you will get Dirty Work, Trace Element, Stormed The Core!, Laser Burn, & Did Anyone Survive?. Step 2: Playthrough Ignition Mode Through The Leaderboards At the main menu, go to the "Leaderboards" and select "Ignition". When the leaderboard loads, hit to start a game. Make sure that during this playthrough you select a different path than the one you did in step 1. After you complete the game successfully again, you will get Catch Me If You Can! and Stop the Clock! Step 3: Clean Up Remaining Hacking Game Trophies Play through the game in Ignition mode 2 more times selecting the remaining paths that you haven't played through yet. While doing this step, you can aim to try to beat the game in under 25:00 minutes as well but your main focus should be to complete them in general with that being a side note. After you complete all 4 paths (2 in this step and the 2 from steps 1 & 2), you will get All your Trace are belong to us, Infectious, Planet Cracker & Chief Engineer. Step 4: Finish Ignition Mode In Under 25:00 Minutes You may have gotten this on one of the previous playthroughs but if not, playthrough the game again and aim for beating it in under 25 minutes. I would pick the path that you are most comfortable with to do this as you will be more familiar with it, so you should be able to go the fastest through it. If you are having problems, keep practising a certain path until you have all the hacking games in it down pat, then do the run through it. Once you finally beat it in under 25:00 minutes, then you will get Ain't got time to bleed! and your 100%!

OnceFallen Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Trophy Guide Dirty Work Unlock the level 4 engineering RIG. Just play through the single player Ignition game and when you reach the 4th area, your rig will be upgraded to level 4 and the trophy will pop after that! Stop the clock! Successfully complete any hack on the Leaderboards. Select "Leaderboards" from the main menu and then select any of the different hack types to see the leaderboard for it. It's best if you pick one you're most comfortable with to make it go faster. After the leaderboard loads for that particular hack game, hit to begin a level. After you finish it successfully, the trophy will pop! Ain't got time to bleed! Successfully complete Ignition mode within 25 minutes by any route (excluding movies). You must complete Ignition mode in under 25 minutes. The best way to do this is on your second play through as you will have all your power-ups at that point, making everything alot easier. Also, pick a path you are comfortable with (or that you have practiced if you are having problems with them). Once you finish the final hack and complete the game successfully in under 25 minutes, the trophy will pop! Trace Element Successfully complete a Trace Route hack in any single player mode. See "All your Trace are belong to us" All your Trace are belong to us Successfully complete all Trace Route hacks in any single player mode. You have to navigate your "data stream" through a maze of blocks and firewalls while other streams try to make it to the end first. There are speed boost circles throughout the runs that will give you a quick mini-boost (they are circles with arrows in it). You also can give yourself a boost by hit the button (limited number of times). You can also put up a mini-firewall behind you by hitting the button (limited number of times) to slow down the rival streams. The last tool at your disposal is a reverse block that causes the other streams to move in opposite directions which can be used by pressing the button. Your goal is to make it to the end before any of the blue streams! For the trophy to pop, you have to play through all 4 paths in the game and successfully finish all the needed hack types. After you complete them all, the trophy will pop! Stormed the Core! Successfully complete a System Override hack in any single player mode. See "Infectious" Infectious Successfully complete all System Override hacks in any single player mode. Your goal is to make it to the end of the system board by releasing different virus types to overload the defenses in order to help clear a path to it. Once you have a path cleared (or at least a semi-one), then you want to keep releasing viruses so they go into the core to overload and shut it down, allowing you access into the mainframe you're hacking. The easiest way to do this (after you've unlocked all the viruses first) is use a combo of 2-3 viruses followed by about 3-4 viruses, then another one, then just spam for a while. Every so often as the viruses run out, send out some new ones mixed in with the ones. For the trophy to pop, you have to play through all 4 paths in the game and successfully finish all the needed hack types. After you complete them all, the trophy will pop! Laser Burn Successfully complete a Hardware Crack in any single player mode. See "Planet Cracker" Planet Cracker Successfully complete all Hardware Cracks in any single player mode. You need to reflect the light into the like colored receptors in another area of the grid. Do this by dropping reflectors & splitters and then adjusting them around to the desired direction you wish into the same colored pods at the end. Note that each of the colored end pods have an arrow pointing into them at a certain side as that is which way the light needs to be entering it for it to power it up properly. Later on, you will have "chips" that will heat up and explode if they are hit with or are near light. Try to take out these as soon as you can as they can create valuable passages for you to use. Just remember that they exploded and will destroy anything you have put down near them within a 2 block radius around them, so if that happens, you'll need to replace those items afterwards (they don't disappear for good, just from the board and return to your inventory). For the trophy to pop, you have to play through all 4 paths in the game and successfully finish all the needed hack types. After you complete them all, the trophy will pop! If you are having problems, you can check out this thread for some help with figuring them out: LINK Catch me if you can! Complete one Ignition mode path through the Leaderboards. Select "Leaderboards" from the main menu and then select Ignition to see the leaderboard for it. After the leaderboard loads for that particular hack game, hit to begin the game. After you finish the entire game successfully, the trophy will pop! Did anyone survive? Complete Ignition Mode. Play through Ignition Mode (either through regular single player or through the leaderboard) and complete the game successfully. It doesn't matter which path you take in the game or how many times you have to retry any of the hacks, just make it all the way to the end and beat it. After you complete the game, the trophy will pop! Chief Engineer Complete all hacks in any single player mode. You must play through the game on all 4 paths and complete every one of the hacks in them successfully. Once you finish the final hack on your 4th playthrough, the trophy will pop!

OnceFallen Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Hardware Crack Solutions/Help These first 7 are the solutions for all of the puzzles in Path A (ie: the top path selection both times)! Choose this path for your first playthrough and then use the solutions listed afterwards to solve the ones on the remaining paths. Act 1 (Hack 3) Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is and have it reflect down into the green pod. Act 1 (Hack 4) Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is and have it reflect up into the red pod. Act 2A (Hack 1) Place everything as seen and then just place a splitter where the yellow square is so it will shoot a yellow beam into the yellow pod. Act 2a (Hack 4) Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is and have it shoot right into the yellow pod. Act 3A (Hack 3A) Eliminate all the "destroyable" pieces safely (so that none of your items get blown up as well) and then remove the two pieces near the top (see the splitters at the top for reference to them). Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is and have it shoot down into the yellow pod. Act 3A (Hack 5) Eliminate all the "destroyable" pieces safely (so that none of your items get blown up as well) and then remove the piece near the top right corner (see the red light line for reference). Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is and have it shoot down into the yellow pod. Act 4 (Hack 1C) Eliminate all the "destroyable" pieces safely (so that none of your items get blown up as well). Place everything as seen and then just place a splitter where the yellow square is so that it will shoot yellow light into both sets of stationary mirrors. The following are solutions to the remaining puzzles, but are all done after the first playthrough (so level 4 rig & all items unlocked to be used in the puzzles). Act 2B (Hack 2) Remove a piece in the top right corner (next to the red splitter) and then place everything as seen and then just place a splitter where the yellow square is so that it will shoot yellow light into the yellow pod. Act 3B (Hack 3) Eliminate all the "destroyable" pieces safely (so that none of your items get blown up as well) and then remove two pieces near the bottom center (see picture for idea). Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is so that it will shoot yellow light into the yellow pod. If it's your 1st playthrough, then you can use this solution - just remove/destroy the required chips as shown (Thanks Vyrastas for picture): Act 3C (Hack 1) Eliminate all the "destroyable" pieces safely (so that none of your items get blown up as well) and then remove a piece near the bottom center (near the bottom yellow splitter) & one near the top (near the red splitter). Place everything as seen and then just place a reflector where the yellow square is so that it will shoot yellow light into the yellow pod. Act 3D (Hack 4A) Eliminate all the "destroyable" pieces safely (so that none of your items get blown up as well) and then remove a piece near the bottom center (next to the 3 yellow reflectors). Place everything as seen and then just place a splitter where the yellow square is so that it will shoot yellow light into both yellow pods.

ProjeckNemesis Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wow seems really easy. Hopefully Gamestop has the codes in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnceFallen Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wow seems really easy. Hopefully Gamestop has the codes in today. It is for the most part, especially since if you fail a hacking game, you can just retry it until you beat it... Some of the puzzles are a little bit of a headache at first, but after you unlock your rig to level 4 and get all the extras for each type, it gets really easy...

Anomanderuselnu Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I hope these aren't in the actual game...makes me wonder what the hacker suit will be used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyPotato Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah this "game" isnt that great... it left me confused really with the different story lines. Dont want to gave anything away... I just asking myself, what is the point really? And I agree with above poster, hope these games arent in the main game though with the hacker suit...

Cornagandarub Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think it's fine. If you were expecting Dead Space, then yeah, it's going to be shit. I got exactly what I expected, an interactive comic that will explain a bit of what's going on in the game. It's kind of like the audio logs in Dead Space 1. They had a backstory, maybe it's something like that. And if anything, we get 12 trophies and a special suit for Dead Space 2. That's pretty sweet.

Sure I haven't fired this up yet but I am going in not expecting much. Playing this mainly because its Dead Space and it has trophies. I find the Dead Space universe so deep and interesting, any peek into another side of it is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornagandarub Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 At least the price was right. Cant go wrong with 5 bucks. I ended up buying it for 10 because I bought it as soon as it came out. There are 2 factors involving why I am not going to get my money back. 1, I'm pretty good for money right now, and 2, I'm pretty lazy :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerCobra98 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) @oncefallen I don't understand when you say hit x in the leaderboards after choosing ignition. I go there and it says locked and I cannot hit x to play anything. Do I have to play through the actual story first? EDIT. Ok I gather you actually have to play the game first before you can go to the leaderboards/ignition and hit x. You may want to amend your guide providing my statement is correct. On another note; got any videos? I'm an idiot and cannot figure out how to get past the 4th hack in the game.

I go there and it says locked and I cannot hit x to play anything. Do I have to play through the actual story first? Shouldn't be, I played through it the first time with it... Let me try it again with my wife's account and see if it does it to her... Edit: Huh, for some reason it's locked for her as well... I know I played through part of the game first (but didn't complete it), then decided to do it through the leaderboard in order to knock 2 things out at one time, so maybe if you just play it a little in the main game, then try it, that will unlock it... I will change that on the roadmap though just to make sure to avoid future confusion. Edited October 13, 2010 by OnceFallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriangleOffense Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Im really enjoiing the game so Im not going to use the guide at all until I fully beat it once but on my second playthrough Ill try to snap pics of the solved puzzles with locations of where to put everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnceFallen Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Im really enjoiing the game so Im not going to use the guide at all until I fully beat it once but on my second playthrough Ill try to snap pics of the solved puzzles with locations of where to put everything I started doing that as well, but after I had completed the game already, so it kind of screwed it up as I have more items available now than I did originally. Plus the pictures were coming out kind of crappy since all I have right now is my cellphone. Edit: I can post a few of the pics I took, but like I said, it's going to show the solutions after the game was beaten once, so it will have things available that you won't have on your first playthrough. Let me know and I will post what I have if you want... Edited October 14, 2010 by OnceFallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will change that on the roadmap though just to make sure to avoid future confusion. I deleted my save data and started over and same thing; cannot go and play in the leaderboard. So I went and started the ignition on the main menu again. Now I just tried to go to leaderboard/ignition again and still no dice. But like I said I cannot even get past the 4th puzzle so maybe I need to get further before the leaderboard/ignition will unlock. Unfortunately I'm stuck right now because I can't figure this damn puzzle out. EDIT* I'd like the pictures...because I suck and I'm stuck!

Alright, give me about 15-20 minutes and I'll upload the pics I have... I just played through Path A on my wife's account and took pics of all the "laser light" puzzles... I'll post those and try to describe what I did so you guys have an idea of how to at least get the first playthrough out of the way... Honestly, the rest after that are easy once you have everything unlocked piece wise for the others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasallstar Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 hey I am on a different path first time playthrough apparently. Is there any way you could post the other paths puzzels paths cause i am so frustrated on this one. its right after you enter the school panic room.

Anomanderuselnu Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 They really aren't that difficult...maybe its just me, but I like the red/green laser puzzles. The key thing that I screwed up a few times is that when you place a cross, the first color to hit it will override anything else unless you place it on intersecting lasers.
