This guide explains where to follow Nicole’s hologram in Scientific Methods side mission in Dead Space remake.

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.

Dead Space remake also features a big addition that wasn’t present in the original game. It has extensive side missions, which help develop the game’s story and give you chance to explore more of the Ishimura.
