  1. In 8. Tantalus Research Station can i go back to get the xeno tech from the queen after the self destruct sequence if i missed it

  2. Unfortunately some seems indeed to be bugged. Best way to probably wait for some patches. Pharos Spire datapad “11” didn’t work for me at all. It never registered as picked up.

  3. You have the number of datapads on Pharos Spire correct, but I think the game may be bugged. I had to retrieve a datapad at the east balcony on the security level before it actually registered at 100%.

  4. Nice maps. Shame I have the lot and several are bugged and not showing picked up, or showing as picked up but not 100% completion in-game or trophy. This might come in handy in a future play through once its patched.

  5. Great guide, worth noting the Elevator to the basement in Refinery level can’t be recalled to the starting floor after your rescue by the drop ship so if you miss any data pads on that level you can’t go back and get them annoyingly.

  6. good work in progress, will refer to in next play through. / though i usually make an conscious thought / to remind myself to flash the torch over rooms in in corners, i’ve missed a few.
    Not sure if there’s a bug with using the sector map table then picking up data pads as hitting J always just brings the sector map back up.

  7. This guide is missing a datapad – Mission 9 Pharos Spire SECURITY LEVEL

    There’s a datapad at the very far east of the map on the balcony next to a dead soldier

    DONT MISS THIS PAD OR YOU CAN’T GET BACK TO THIS AREA AFTER YOU LEAVE, ESPECIALLY IF YOURE PLAYING ON THE ‘NO ONE CAN HEAR THEM SCREAM’ MODE!!!
