Prey Guide › Walkthrough: Story Objectives

This Side Up

This Side Up

I was forced to jettison myself into space to escape Deep Storage. Airlocks heading back inside are sealed, but Sarah Elazar—chief of security—contacted me. She’s holed up in the Cargo Bay where I might be able to use a cargo container as a makeshift entry.

Crew Quarters Revisited

Before making a beeline for the Cargo Bay, consider investigating the hull breaches in Crew Quarters. The nearby hull breach leads to a decompressed portion of the habitation pods. Eliminate the corrupted Operators here then search the pods and neighboring medical bay for supplies including food, spare parts, and a Suit Chipset (Radiation Shielding) located in Tamiko Hayashi’s pod.

A hull breach in the executive suites allows you to search suites belonging to board members and William & Cathy Yu—Alex and Morgan’s parents. But watch out for a Technopath here wielding a turret. Toss an EMP Charge at the Technopath to disable its turret, then finish it off with your Q-Beam. Enter the suite directly across from William and Cathy Yu’s. Inside there’s a briefcase containing a Q-Beam Cell fabrication license and a Nullwave Transmitter.

After exiting Crew Quarters, take a moment to explore Talos I’s exterior for a couple of deceased crew members. As you pass the Lobby section, a green waypoint marker appears on the HUD, leading you to a human corpse. This area is patrolled by a Technopath so be ready to take it out, using an EMP Charge and your Q-Beam. Maneuver past an open panel to locate Mariana Arias’ body with a Q-Beam floating nearby. Search her body to retrieve some supplies and a TranScribe. Listen to the recording (It’s Just in My Head) found on the TranScribe to hear Mariana’s last moments.

Disgruntled Employee (continued)

If you tracked Grant Lockwood using the security station back in Deep Storage, you can find his body floating far out in space. The briefcase next to his body contains a Silenced Pistol and a Neuromod. Finding Grant Lockwood completes this objective. But conduct your searches quickly. Maneuvering far beyond the station’s protective Magnetosphere exposes you to harmful levels of radiation.

FarScan 002Si

Your stock Psychoscope has limited range, incapable of scanning threats at distances beyond a few meters. Consider equipping the FarScan 002Si Scope Chipset. This is particularly useful during spacewalks, allowing you to scan enemies long before they can detect you.

Another human corpse is floating outside the Shuttle Bay. Watch for another Telepath in this area and prepare to engage with EMP Charges and your Q-Beam. When the area is clear of threats, thrust toward the body to identify and search Mike Devlin. A red supply crate floating nearby contains a few supplies, including spare parts.

Doctor Igwe

Objective Summary: Doctor Igwe appears to be trapped inside a shipping container outside the Cargo Bay. If I can get the number of his container, I can use the Docking Terminal to return him to safety. I’ll have to do it before oxygen runs out.

As you near the Cargo Bay, you’re contacted by Dr. Igwe. He’s trapped in a container floating outside the Cargo Bay and his oxygen supply is running low. Activate your flashlight and make note of the container’s number: 2312. You only have seven minutes to complete this optional objective, so make haste and secure the Cargo Bay.

Cargo Bay A

Notable Items: Suit Chipset GLOO Cannon EMP Charge Weapon Upgrade Kit
Shotgun Disruptor Stun Gun Portable Turret Fabrication License Neuromod (3)

Thrust toward Cargo Bay A. An explosion has caused a massive hull breach, exposing this area to open space. Scan the interior for threats—multiple Cystoid Nests are attached to the walls and ceiling. Eliminate any Cystoid Nests and Cystoids that prevent you from safely entering. Upon accessing the Cargo Bay, Sarah Elazar contacts you again, informing you that there’s no longer an airlock. She suggests manipulating the shipping containers via the Docking Terminal.

The docking terminal appears as a waypoint on your HUD. Maneuver toward this platform, careful to avoid contact with any Cystoids in the area. Grab Grant Lockwood’s TranScribe next to the terminal and play the recording (Container Docking for Dummies) to get a quick primer on how shipping containers are docked. You’ll need to follow these same steps to save Dr. Igwe.

Doctor Igwe (continued)

Access the docking terminal and input the handling number (2312) of Dr. Igwe’s shipping container. On the following prompt, select “Dock Shipping Container.” The container automatically returns to the Cargo Bay and docks, saving Dr. Igwe. Once the container has docked, select “Open Shipping Container” from the prompt. This opens the back of container 2312, allowing you to enter the Cargo Bay’s interior.

Dr. Igwe’s Fate

Dayo Igwe is an important character, so try to save him. If he survives, he grants you access to two critical optional objectives. However, if he dies, suffocating in the shipping container, you can retrieve his TranScribe to obtain a unique audio recording, Igwe’s Last Words.

Before entering container 2312, take a moment to search Cargo Bay A. Three deceased crew members are floating nearby. Locate and search Jessica Wiley to retrieve a Suit Chipset and some spare parts. Tana Vale, floating just outside the Cargo Bay, has a GLOO Cannon and an EMP Charge. Riley Butler has a Weapon Upgrade Kit, a Shotgun, and a Disruptor Stun Gun. Also, don’t forget to search the other shipping containers for ammo and supplies—container 5645 contains a Neuromod.

Cargo Bay Security Safe

This safe is located in the same room as Riley Butler’s body. If you have the Hacking III ability, you can crack it now. Otherwise, you can open the safe later once Sarah Elazar gives you the keycode. Inside is a Portable Turret fabrication license as well as two Neuromods.

When you’re finished exploring Cargo Bay A, approach container 2312, still docked. Open the door via the docking terminal or use the keycode Dr. Igwe sent after you rescued him. Enter the container and open the door to the Cargo Bay interior.

Cargo Bay

Cargo Staging Area

Notable Items: Turret (2)

As you enter the Cargo Staging Area, security officer Austin Cool draws your attention from a distant catwalk. He warns that they can’t open the main door due to the presence of several Phantoms in the area. He suggests finding a way to reach the catwalk. While the Phantoms wandering about may pose a threat to the station’s security team, you have the firepower necessary to sanitize this area.
