Dead Space – 100% Full Achievement Guide (Remake)

A complete guide for getting all achievements in Dead Space Remake.

How to Obtain All Achievements

All credit goes to Isaac Clarke!

Overview

• Missable achievements: Yes
• Minimum number of playthroughs: 2
• Co-op / Online Achievements: 0
• Difficulty required for 100%: Yes
• Time to 100%: 20 to 30 hours

Note

Just about every non story related achievement can be missed. However, you’ll probably unlock most of them just from playing. As multiple runs are needed for the 100%, don’t worry about achievements until your NG+ run.

Also, I used information based on the original Dead Space. Some items might have been moved and I will work on updating this as soon as possible!

This is a completely handwritten guide. Any item / collectable you need can be found by using CTRL + F and entering what you’re looking for in the text box.
