Alien: Isolation - M17 Corridor of Death

This is my SAFE% strat for the M17 Corridor of Death and M17 Exit.
It is not a speedrunning strat, it's a bit slow for that. It is based on the strat in MisterHughes' video, Alien: Isolation™ M17 low risk exit

Got about 20 feet from the last door, heard the Alien charging and spun around with the flamethrower, torched the thing and backed towards the door slowly while the Alien is walking towards me, keeping it's distance but letting me know it's got my number...

[@siarnne]

pretty nice use of the noise maker and maintenance jack to control the chase and keep the Alien from flanking you. Effectively, you kept it from using it's superior speed to get ahead of you so that your pipe bomb placements cleared your path. Two things this suggests about your gameplay on earlier levels: you avoided the androids rather than ambushing them, probably relying on single shotgun hits to slow them down and you tailed the aliens in The Nest. I'd be interested in seeing your other playthroughs.

[@oneevenu111]

Regardless of whether or not if it can see you in the moment, it technically always knows where you are. The ai director always gives subtle and not so subtle hints as to where you are. Aside from the scripted events like when you find it walking past you in a hallway or in the nest or after the first encounter where it killed what seemed like 4-5 people. It will ALWAYS know where you are, hence why you can never stay in one place for a long period of time.

I don't know if I was getting lucky but it seemed big beasty would jump into vent after running down the hall and pop out the ceiling vent in the room w/ the save point. I'd just walk out of the room, wait for the enter vent sound then walk my way till I reach the window in the corridor then crouch/walk with caution.

Lolz the aliens glitched at the end for my nightmare run, the end bit where you are going for the EVA suit when the alien steal you away. I followed the alien down the stairs and there was supposed to be two in that room where you have to sneak across and get to the suit, but I’m assuming it glitched as they both didn’t appear. The alien had been relentless up to that point. But I had another unfortunate glitch where one of the vents wouldn’t acknowledge that the door in front of it was open and wouldn’t let me leave it, so I had to find the long way around. It was just after you align the dish to speak with Verlaine.

@@tarantulagirl Yeah, the aliens sometimes bug out for me too. Sometimes I only have to deal with one alien and other times it's both of them. I think it goes based on how quickly you're executing the tasks, which prevents the alien (s) from spawning and catching up to you.

[@THXbox]

When you use the maintenance Jack to kill the facehuggers, it’s stealthy, and doesn’t draw the Xeno in. Makes it a lot easier to move about on this section.

[@baldrickstrousers344]

When you get out of the vent in that area, the game forces the Alien to upvent and stay backstage until you trigger the set piece by using the keycard. So you can use any weapon you like to kill that particular facehugger and the Alien will not drop. In fact, you can go back through the vent and backtrack through the entire area, running and making as much noise as you like while the Alien is locked in the ceiling. It should also be noted that maintenance jack is not a stealthy weapon. It will attract the Alien if he is active and hears you using it. You should also know that killing facehuggers with the mainentance jack or firearms at close range causes damage to the player due to acid splash. All the best playing Alien Isolation. Enjoy.

First place I encountered the Xeno inside of the vents was every single time I got to the end of this stage for like 5 tries. It killed me every single time I had to go through the vent at the end.

[@baldrickstrousers344]

That is the reason I throw the EMP at the end before going in the vent. To try to get the Alien to drop in that other room. If he's dropped somewhere and busy examining where the device went off, then he can't drop in the final vent quite so readily. Throwing a weapon type device like an EMP or a Flashbang is best. They make a bigger noise and Alien learns to ignore dedicated distraction devices such as the noisemaker. Give it a whirl and see how you get on. Best of luck.

[@ProcyonDei]

Most people are saying that this run is "ballsy," but it's actually more accurate to say it's actually very smart. The reason most people get killed off by the Xenomorph is because they take their sweet time gawking at the creature rather than getting a move on when they use a distraction...

[@baldrickstrousers344]

The Working Joes aren't fun enemies to deal with and the second act of the game is 100% working joes.

How did you do the generator so quickly?

[@baldrickstrousers344]

It can only be done on PC. It's a keybind, by binding mwheel_down to the same functions as E. This is a normal (and legal) speedrunning config. To do it you have to edit C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\214490 emote\input.cfg Normally you have these two lines amongst all the other keybinds: bind E use bind E button_mash To you have to add two extra lines for the mwheel_down: bind E use bind E button_mash bind mwheel_down use bind mwheel_down button_mash That doesn't just let you use generators fast. But you can also activate prompts super fast, pick up items as you fly by and so forth. Just be careful with keypad code doors, you may want to just single press E for those so you don't enter a set of 5's. Also, don't use the mouse wheel with the aerial trolley at the end of M12, or you'll fall to the ground and either die or be softlocked. Enjoy.
