How to Obtain the Sea Shanty Audio Log in the Dead Space Remake
In order to obtain the sea shanty Easter Egg, you must move Isaac in the middle of the red circle and input the following commands in this exact order:
Melee, Stomp, Melee, Melee, Stomp, Melee, Stomp, Melee, Melee, Melee, Melee, Stomp
If you have done the correct sequence, the video screen with the Marker will turn a darker, reddish color, and an audio log will appear next to Isaac. This is the sea shanty Easter Egg.
For musically inclined gamers, or those who just would like to sing along, the lyrics of Dead Space’s sea shanty (a parody of “Wellerman,” a 1960s sea ballad that originated in New Zealand) can be found below.
Dead Space Sea Shanty Lyrics
(Verse One)
“There once was a ship from the CEC,
The Ishimura USG,
She’d crack a moon with gravity,
Go me bullyboys, go – ha!
(Chorus)
Soon may the Kellion come,
To save our souls and take us home,
One day when the fixin’ is done,
We’ll take our leave and go,
(Verse Two)
Three score years she served her tour,
Thirty planets cracked and more,
The captain called “no-fly” and swore,
He’d take that Marker in tow – ha!
(Chorus repeat)
(Bridge)
La-da-da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
La-da-da-da-da-da,
La-da-da da-da-da,
(Verse Three)
Before the ship could set on home,
Tragedy’s struck and the colony’s all gone,
The old Red Marker done them wrong,
And brought the miners low-ha!
(Chorus repeat)
(Verse Four)
The ghouls aboard, a mystery,
Spoke of in Unitology,
The captain swore he’d keep his creed,
And dragged his crew down so – ha!
(Chorus repeat)
