[@albitsobo7445]

@@spagetworm It's right after you come back from the Anesidora, beginning of mission 16. The path that you have to go is pretty much forward obviously, but if you check better, there is a vent that you gonna open with the ion flame torch. It's the first vent you gonna see, but there is a soldier that may see you, so you have to be quick and careful. Once you open the vent, keep your eyes for a left side opening and you there. It's somewhere in that room. Hope is helpful

[@emmanuelenriquez8947]

Indeed my fave next to Amanda, he was a bit loony (well you can understand why ‘coz of what he went through for weeks on end) but everything he said taught Amanda the necessary common sense knowledge and survival skills she needed to survive the Sevastopol Tragedy... True to his last line in-game “This is about Survival” with matching _his-hands-on-her-face talk-to-me look_ (and of course the sudden appearance pf the Alien leading to his death), this was what made Amanda took to heart all his advices and basically made her the Sole Survivor of a Xenomorph Incident just like her Mom Ellen years before 💪

The motion tracker only tracks objects that are moving. Also, having it out draws attention of hostile survivors, androids, and the Alien because of the noises it generates.

I am addicted to this game so much. I still watch the videos. A real masterpiece if there was ever one.

[@Larkinchance]

[@MirandaAndUh]

Actually makes the most sense to play this level as Ransome or Lingard, since their fates are undisclosed, and this has whoever the player has selected escaping Sevastapol on a shuttle (ruling out Amanda or Axel).

[@dcruze]

Well, it's Axel's DLC. The shuttles are only for short-range transport between the three towers of Sevastopol, or so it says in the in-game tips. He's not leaving the station, just relocating.

[@MirandaAndUh]

dcruze AH, forgot the detail that they were only short-range shuttles. Though he did get a lot of coolant for such a small trip (going by how much Ripley gathered in Alien).

[@samiamtheman7379]

Rishon Marrell Cox Also Axel stated himself that he never saw the alien

[@Romano2018]

Axel dlc doesnt make sense because at the start he refers the Alien as a "killer" and couldn't be specific with Ripley as if he never saw what was killing the people at the station. Plus hes dodging the Alien as we see here. He would never get any close inthe vents thus not getting killed behind by surprise.

[@Farlomous]

I look at these missions as there is an unseen ally who is doing the other half of the mission. maybe Axel had a friend who left him behind and is so hesitant to trust Ripley. or maybe Axel was the one who left the friend behind and was planning to eventually betray Ripley if he ever got so far. I know there are comics and other books that follow up on what happened to Ripley, but if you don't consider those canon, then maybe it was one of those shuttles that flashed the flood lights on her. There are so many unanswered questions about this franchise we will never know it all

[@sO_RoNerY]

I enjoy watching people play. Especially a game like this one. It’s like: “Alright. Alien gone. Let’s crawl. Oh look! Something I can craft. Sweet.” Or the Alien is looking for you and you see something you can craft on top of a crate because you peaked up to see where it is. You wanna get it but the Alien might see you. So you don’t. Not yet. After it leaves the room, you quickly get up, grab it and crouch back down again.

Safe Haven and Lost Contact is so fun

[@robinfox4440]

Wait - did the Alien actually spot you at 16:03 and you managed to get away!? With all those air shafts in front of you!? MADNESS.

[@nicolashrv]

When the alien spots you and jumps into the vents, if you run or move from the spot it saw you, it will not detect you. This is the ONLY time when you can actually run away (and which is better to do it so) from the alien. This happens also if there are objects in between you and the alien blocking the view, and you find a blind spot to move (

[@benjaminshamel9383]

The way the Xenomorph acts when it DOESN'T "see" you suggests to me that it doesn't have "eyes", at least not in the traditional sense that we think of. Even though it's all a part of game design and layout, it does kinda make sense as to why it won't detect you in plain view sometimes...because it doesn't sense with "eyes"....because there's nothing in those eye sockets...such a well-made and terrifying monster!

[@teknicron1080]

Its senses are more like a sharks, it can detect something is in a given area, but unless it physically moves, makes sounds, or stands out in broad light, the Xeno will overlook it.

[@BigWired]

I gotta say... I am in awe of your gaming skills here! These are just amazing how you do it! I'm scared to hell of this game and it constantly makes me second guess myself or even think about moving, and you're just breezing through this! Kudos!

[@spiritofzen7022]

Imagine this A.I where you have to evade a pack of zombies who can hear and smell you, you can shoot them but it just draws more zombies towards you, hearing a group of snarling zombies closing in while you hid inside a locker would be terrifying 😱

[@PoltergeistHaunting2005]

i thought that existed with the Walking Dead VR game ?

[@Oldschool1943]

the one thing that bothered me is that aliens doesn't attack androids but in the films alien and aliens (which this game is a tie in for) they was attacked twice and both times ripped in half. other then that I think this is one of those rare times in modern gaming that this game can be considered a classic. great vid bro! hope to see more.

[@breizhrudie4757]

We can see ripped off androids lying around. I think the alien first attacked them but learnt they were of no interest.

[@tomaszk54]

I think the Working Joes are much more synthetic/artificial than androids like Bishop and Samuels, who seem to contain significant organic material and conduct biological processes within their bodies. Perhaps xenomorphs ignore the Joes because they sense little or no living tissue.

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

They can probably sense something is alive, maybe blood like sharks or being able to hear you're breathing and heartbeat. Androids obviously possessing none of these attributes

[@robinfox4440]

You're very confident in these playthroughs in general, but how can you be so trusting of the ventilation shafts? I'm usually terrified of going in there. Can the Alien hear you shuffling around inside them?

[@dcruze]

The Alien will come if you hang around inside the vents for too long, or if it is on the outside and sees you inside.

[@SoldierOfFate]

So in a sense, you can't hide from the Alien permanently?

[@robinfox4440]

The Ugly Barnacle You can hide from it for as long as you like in lockers and under tables, but sometimes the alien can approach the table from an angle that it'll see you. Also, when you use lockers, the Alien's patrol route can often become tighter.

[@SoldierOfFate]

All I know is that if you remain in an area for too long, the Alien's search will become more intensive. It's as if it KNOWS you're in the area, and is more than willing to play your waiting game. The creators of this game have made its AI undoubtedly one of the most unpredictable types I've ever seen in a video game.

[@robinfox4440]

The Ugly Barnacle You're right in that the Alien's patrol becomes tighter when you move less. However, I don't think that's necessarily unpredictable. The better players of the game are capable of reading the Alien's movements somewhat. Bottom line is: keep moving.

***** yeah perhaps he did have a motion tracker and that is how he avoided the alien so long. maybe thats how alot of the ppl on sevastopol survived. i mean ripley found a modified motion tracker just lyin on a desk in some work station. she said something like "some kind of tracker, its been modified". ive seen ads on wall about motion trackers for locating pests(rats or sumthin i guess). i guess ppl used to use them for findin pests the station and re-purposed them to stay away from the "Killer".

Your playthroughs are fantastic and you should have many more views and subscribers. I recently found out that linking to sites off KZbin will make them highlight your videos less, so you end up with less views and traffic. It's recommended to make a second KZbin account for off-site links and personal advertisements, and use your main station to link us to your secondary KZbin account (which means your main account will link to only KZbin sites, which keeps people here and is what KZbin rewards you for). Your views should skyrocket after that!

After thinking for exactly 2.1 seconds, I made a dash for the exit and barely made it. Fuck this game is good. Safe Haven wasn't that good. The server room layout and final stages really soured the experience. But this one is just right.

[@dcruze]

I agree, this is one of my favorites

[@stephaniemitchell8509]

Is it possible to play these on different difficulties? The last level I played the main campaign was on Nightmare, but there seems to be way to much loot to be on that in the DLC's. Or, does the AI simply remember my play style through the main campaign? Because the first time I hid in a locker in a DLC, it knew to come and sniff me out, and usually it has to "learn" that first. Also, if I "peek" for too long, the alien sees me, and it doesn't seem to ever see his peeking. No fair!
