This guide explains how to defeat the Hunter boss in Dead Space chapter 5 Lethal Devotion.
Fifteen years since the launch of the original game, the Dead Space remake has arrived on consoles and PC. The new game resurrects the series with modern graphics and refined gameplay. But the terrifying horror remains.
Dead Space follows protagonist Isaac Clarke after he and his crew become stranded on the USG Ishimura while answering a distress call. Once onboard, they discover that murderous creatures – Necromorphs – have taken over the spaceship and are murdering the surviving crew.
In the game, Isaac must fight for survival and find a way off of the doomed ship. However, first he needs to find his girlfriend, Nicole, who happens to be the Ishimura’s chief medical officer.
Along the way, you’ll encounter some seriously scary and powerful enemies. One of these is the Hunter. The Hunter first appears in chapter 5 Lethal Devotion.
It’s a powerful regenerating Necromorph engineered by Doctor Challus Mercer. Because the monster can regenerate, you can’t kill it by using conventional methods. And if you destroy its limbs, it’ll simply regrow them.
After numerous close calls with the Hunter in chapter 5, Isaac is forced to face it one on one in the Cryogenics Lab.
The Hunter is a tough enemy and it must be defeated to reach chapter 6. Keep reading to find out how to defeat the Hunter in chapter 5 Lethal Devotion…
How To Defeat The Hunter Boss In Dead Space Chapter 5 (Lethal Devotion)
Most players will be wondering how it’s possible to beat an enemy that can regenerate no matter what you do.
To make matters worse, if the creature catches you, its attacks are lethal. But the solution is surprisingly simple – and it’s all about using your surroundings to your advantage.
This is how to defeat the Hunter boss in Dead Space chapter 5. To defeat the Hunter, lure it into the cryo chamber in the centre of the room. Use Stasis to slow it down while it’s in there. Quickly run into the Cryogenics Control Room and use the terminal to freeze the Hunter in the chamber.
If it takes you numerous attempts, you may run out of Stasis. But don’t worry – you can replenish it at the Stasis Recharge Station in the corner of the room.
Freezing the Hunter will end the boss fight and complete chapter 5 Lethal Devotion.
