Alien: Isolation - Lost Contact (Axel)

(UPDATE: Lost Contact was patched on PC, which fixed most of the problems. It now has the same rewards as the console versions, and the bug in Stage 10 is fixed.)

This is the route I find easiest. Stage 6 is the hardest by far, unless you're playing as Amanda. The rewards are not as important as they were in "Safe Haven", since you're not required to kill any looters or androids.

00:00 Stage 1: S6 Emergency Power Plant
02:32 Stage 2: S6 Emergency Power Plant - Boltgun & Ammo
04:54 Stage 3: Lorenz Private Wards - Stun Baton & Charges
11:15 Stage 4: Lorenz Private Wards - Components & Blueprint
12:46 Stage 5: Lorenz Private Wards - Flamer Fuel & Blueprint
15:28 Stage 6: Lorenz Private Wards - Flamethrower
21:02 Stage 7: S6 Emergency Power Plant - IEDs
26:57 Stage 8: S6 Emergency Power Plant - Ammo & Blueprint
32:07 Stage 9: Lorenz Private Wards - Flamer Fuel, Ammo & Blueprint
36:01 Stage 10: S6 Emergency Power Plant - IEDs

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

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.

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.

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).

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!

It should be sold with a complimentary pair of pampers

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!

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 😱

[Oldschool]

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.

[robinfox]

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?

[kanbablack]

My dude, you are fearless in whatever situation you are in

[RedheadMetalC]

I enjoy campaigns like these where you can choose paths to do tasks and you can buy a check point with scores just like Safe Haven.

[frogstamper]

Excellent run, many thanks for posting.:)

[Xingmey]

3:40 sometimes that short line of sight is enough that that thing can see and kill you.
but sometimes you can get lucky...

I think this one is more enjoyable than Safe Haven. I just completed Lost Contact with Axel and had a crapload of fun. Once I was sandwiched right between a Working Joe and the Alien. 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.
