Do not be intimidated by its size. Though massive, it is very easy to kill. The following was done under the Medium difficulty setting. Upon starting the fight, notice you are "caged in" by the Boss' tentacles. Notice the yellow "blooms" around the Boss' mouth. Shooting each one will get you closer to killing it. However, upon shooting a few of them, the boss Grabs you, holding you in the air. During this time, it appears that you are helpless. Aim whatever weapon you are using at the time and shoot the yellow blooms. After a few shots you will be dropped. The Boss will then begin slamming its tentacles at you more frequently. They are very easy to avoid. Strafe left to right constantly. They will never hit you. The Boss will roar, shoot a few exploding cells at you, or will drop enemy pods upon you. This is part is also easy, considering it is usually only two small Necromorphs. After you destroy the blooms, you will notice a "caged" area underneath the beast. Under this rib cage lies its many hearts. Again, use same strategy with the whole tentacle scenario. After a few times, the Boss will have his fit and open up again. Unload and the Boss will come tumbling down.

The Hunter is a regenerating Necromorph that cannot be killed. The first time you encounter him is difficult, and you just have to run. It is best to shoot off his legs because he does not regenerate them immediately. He is much slower without legs. Then, freeze him and he will be taken away. When facing him again in a later act, use the same strategy then fry him with the rocket engines. Collect the Power Node that it drops.

First, take out the tentacles. When the center opens, aim for the orange ball. Take the explosive canisters or the Lathan pod and launch them in the center.

For every weapon you find during the game, there is a trophy awarded when you kill thirty enemies with that weapon. However some weapons are weaker than others (for example, the flamethrower) and you may find it difficult to complete the task. The easiest way to get these trophies is to find a Guardian (fat blob on the wall that shoots out pods) and kill its pods. Each pod counts as a kill, and it will keep re-spawning pods as long as it is alive. You can get all the thirty kill trophies from one Guardian as long as you have enough ammunition.

When you are out of ammunition, but have a bench and several Power Nodes, you can refill the ammunition in a weapon to its new maximum by upgrading to a capacity node in that weapon.

Purchase the Contact Gun as soon as possible. Ammunition for it will start appearing around the ship. Sell all of the unneeded ammunition for it for 1,000 credits per unit.

Sell your Plasma Cutter at the store. It is worth quite a lot, but a new one is completely free. This is helpful for the max up challenge, because you can now buy about another seven nodes.

In Chapter 2 when you enter the Zero G Therapy area, there is a hole on the right side of the room along with debris blocking the hallway to other side and where you can see the planet. Once you go through the room on the left and get to the other side, back up to the debris. You can see something flashing outside in the direction of the planet. It is 10,000 credits.

Peng is a treasure found in the Hangar in between the two sidewalks. As you leave the Kellion for the first time, look over the railing to your LEFT. There is a small statue lying on the ground. You need KINESIS to get it, so you can't grab it until Chapter 11. IMPOSSIBLE MODE Beat the game on any difficulty, save your game, and start a new game. Choose IMPOSSIBLE MODE, then play until you save your game at a kiosk (in a new slot if you like). The important thing to note is that impossible mode will not remain unlocked if you do not save a game that is playing in impossible mode.
