Marker Fragments Locations
The 12 fragments are only available in New Game Plus mode. Each chapter contains a fragment except chapter 9. Now let’s move to the locations.
Location 1:
Head to the Maintenance Bay Office in Chapter 1. Open the entrance and look for the data board after getting inside. There will be a bookcase next to it; go near and make an attack, and then you will get the first marker.
Location 2:
Now you have to visit Dr. T. Kyne’s office. It is available in chapter 2.
Here, look for another book self. Now behind this shelf, there is a room from where you will get your second fragment.
Use your kinesis power to move the shelf aside and get in there to attain the item that will be placed at the right corner of the tables.
Location 3:
Now let’s move to chapter 3, as our third marker will be inside the engine room. You will have to look for power sub-station 3. This will be written on the top wall. Go to the area on its left and then to the right, and by moving further, you can spot the fragment on the floor.
Location 4:
The 4th chapter encloses the next fragment. There will be a break room on the bridge’s third floor. You can use the elevator to go up there. Now there will be two entrances, one of which will have a “break room.”
As soon as you enter, look at the floor on your left, and the marker Fragment will be next to the candles.
Location 5:
Players will get to find two marker Fragments in chapter 5. You will obtain the first fragment while doing the task “Lift the lockdown,” as it will be on the table inside Dr. C. Mercer’s room.
Location 6:
This location will also be in Chapter 5. The second objective will ask you to attain liquid nitrogen by going into the cryogenic room.
Look around; the fragment will be on the top of the chamber. Again use your kinesis ability to acquire it easily.
Location 7:
In the 6th chapter, you will be asked to inject wheezers. For this, you will have to head towards the East Grow chamber, and then reaching the sixth or seventh wheezer, you will be able to spot the fragment in the room’s corner.
It can be a little bit hard to find, but you can spot it by looking around. Turn down gravity to reach it easily.
Location 8:
First, upgrade your security clearance level 3. Then make your way to the Mineral Samples room, and the 8th fragment will be on the shelf. This all will be in chapter 7.
Location 9:
The next location is the communication array room. You will get there while completing an ongoing objective. On the left wall of the communication panel, there will be a section covered with corruption or infection. The fragment will be inside the hole.
Location 10:
For this fragment, you will have to move to chapter 10. Begin the objective: “Destroy Tendril in Deluxe Quarters” and pick up the power source by entering the Deluxe Quiet Bunks room. Now reach level B to unlock doors by using the circuit breaker.
This will eventually open the doors, including the Deluxe Shit Bunks room door. Get inside it, and the fragment will be on the desk and visible to you.
Location 11:
You will also find this fragment in chapter 10. You will have to enter the Inquiry Desks room, but it will be unlocked.
To open it, you first must communicate with Terence Kyne, who will unlock the room. Move inside and pick up the fragment from the desk.
Location 12:
Go to the Cargo Bay room, and before initiating the objective, move to the southern area, and on the self, you can see the 12th fragment.
Active The Secret Ending
- After gathering all Marker Fragments, visit the Executive Quarters.
- Do this before continuing to chapter 12.
- First, get through the “Crew Deck” door, then pass through the one named “Common Area.”
- Keep going until you see the “Central Nexus” door, and then go to floor 1 by using the elevator.
- Move upside by using a cargo lift, then move to the right and again take a right, and there will be the door that will lead you to Executive Quarters.
- Your last destination will be Captain B. Mathius’ Office.
- There will be a large table inside, and you will have to place all fragments there. Finally, this will unlock the secret ending.
My Experience
In the secret ending, we get to see that Nicole doesn’t attack him; instead, they exchange some dialogues regarding going back.
And Issac says about building something. And when Nicole asks him to explain, he ends the conversation by telling her it’s a surprise. Well, later, it became clear that it was all in his mind and due to hallucinations, and in reality, Nicole never attacked him.
Then after three years, he wakes up in the hospital and remembers nothing. In general, I can say that this remake linked the Dead Space ending with Dead Space 2 so far as it shows that Markers were controlling him to make him do the actions in their favor.
Good job! Please give your positive feedback 😏
