Alien: Isolation guide: Mission 3 Walkthrough

Mission 3: Encounters

First things first you’re going to need to find an elevator to Seegson Communications. Head out of the transit car and explore the immediate area. If you head right you’ll find some extra areas, but your main objective for the moment is to the left. Head left and move until you reach an unlocked door. This should put you in a large lobby like room. Ahead of you a woman will take notice of your arrival and start yelling. About this time you should duck and wait for her gunshots and yelling to cease, as she will run off to get her friends.

Explore the area for any goodies, and when you’re ready head to the door at the far end of the room from where you entered and pick up the Access Tuner. The angry woman will return, this time with pals, so you’ll want to face the door you entered through and then take the stairs to your right. Make sure to duck to stay out of sight, and move along the balcony until you reach the door where the woman and her friends entered. Head through it and down the three flights of stairs to enter Tech Support. Keep moving forward until you notice a booth like office to your right. Head up the short flight of stairs here and grab the Revolver and Keycard off the desk. Turn around and follow the hallway to your left to a locked door. Use the keycard and head inside.

Loot the room and once you’re done head into System Monitoring to snag the Flash bang blueprint and then make your way into the Sevastopol Works Archive.

Once you finish up a cut scene you’ll be standing knee-deep in a steaming pile of what the heck just happened. First you need to unlock the door. To do so turn to your right and press the button of the device with the hand crank until you can get to the Data Cell on the shelf behind the moving bars. Once Ripley has installed the Data Cell move to the door and unlock it.

Now it’s time to head back to the elevator where you found the Access Tuner and unlock it. Head back out the way you entered the area, back towards the stairs to the lobby, until you come face to face with a locked shutter. This will update your objective to Disable Security Lockdown, which means you’ll need to head to the Tech Workshop, using your Tuner to gain access, and then loot the area before accessing the console to disable the lockdown.

NOTE: MAKE SURE TO LOOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO LOOT BEFORE ACCESSING THE MISSION OBJECTIVE’S CONSOLE. I DON’T WANT TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY… BUT TRUST ME… SERIOUSLY… JUST TRUST ME.

With everything looted head out of the workshop and use your maintenance jack on the locked door before finally interacting with the console to disable the security lockdown. Get ready to cry.

Once the cut scene ends it’s time to get the heck out of dodge, all while moving slowly and carefully. Noise is going to be your biggest enemy here, so you’ll want to make sure to stay quiet, don’t shoot anything, or yell loudly although we’re pretty sure the Xenomorph won’t hear you through your television screens or monitors, but there’s no use in taking chances!

Head out the way you came, up the three flights of stairs and into the large lobby. Watch as the Alien murders the angry evil humans and then very slowly and quietly run for your life, while crawling, until you reach the elevator and unlock it using your Access Tuner. Enter the elevator and interact with the button to move on to the next mission.

Get a tissue and wipe away those tears, we’re just getting started.
