Alien Isolation Pro Tips

Some Pro Tips for you for Alien Isolation, played on PS4.

[dnKsTaH]

1. Avoid lockers at all costs. Easier to keep the alien in sight and play "merry go 'round the table" than it is to hide in a locker and get stuck for ages.
2. Try not to use the same distraction in a row or too much in a small time frame. For example.. throwing 3 flares in a row usually makes the Alien suspicious and he actually walks away from the flare in full "alert mode" looking for where it came from.
I usually mix it up.. flare, noisemaker, emp, repeat cycle or toss in a slap to some metal with the wrench.. or even a single shot from a pistol (provided those two methods allow me an escape to a nearby vent where I know old "cuddles" won't come from).
3. The Alien can be a friend to you... against humans. Stand up and let someone see you and take a shot.. "teeth n claws" will go to HIS gunfire sound and dissect him like a lab rat. Great fun.
4. You don't always have to flame the alien. When doing some of the DLC's you can back into the safe room (or an elevator) just by keeping the flame thrower aimed at it.
5. Try not to use the flame thrower so much.. the Alien actually gets braver and bolder the more times he's hit with it. Until he no longer fears it at all. Seriously... late in the game if you had used the FT a lot.. it WILL charge through the flames to grab you.
6. Got a generator to turn on and ole "MrMcBiteYourFaceOff" is lurking around? Set a molotav behind you about 6 paces between you and where you believe it will come. That way he steps on that while you are busy hacking, priming, or cutting whatever it is you need to do. If it doesn't come.. you can retrieve your bomb.
7. Smoke bombs can be useful in certain places.. the Alien loses sight of you and as long as you don't actually bump him in the fog.. you are good to go. Smoke bombs can also be used to pass by androids. same rule applies about bumping.
8. Out of flame fuel and no bombs? But.. have a pistol or shotgun? No problems. Locate a nearby propane tank where it is convenient, set a flare down, and wait. Shoot the tank and the alien will catch on fire and run for the vent. Then you can sneak past and go a lot further along. Use propane tanks to your advantage!
9. When playing DLC's like Safe Haven or Lost Contact, remember you can set things on a level that stay put until the next. Like placing a bomb in a spot that will kill all three robots as long as you set a flare at the right spot too. Or a molotav under a vent for another level where you know the alien will drop out of... works nicely when you plan it out.
10. Use door locks when you are in deep doo-doo... (being sighted). The Alien will not be able to get into some of those med-rooms... so it's gonna go away for a bit until the door gets unlocked. Generally, it does not even come into those rooms at all unless it sees you, hears something, ... OR.. you make the mistake of hiding in a locker INside one of those rooms (yeah, for some reason the alien suddenly remembers it left its wallet in this particular room the second you go into a locker).

Quick note here.
The reason you dont hide for too long in one place is because of how the Ai Director works.
Eventually the alien will start deep searching a area that your in, meaning it will search lockers and under stuff

Another tip: When you receive the flamethrower in 'The Trap' mission, don't reload the flamethrower with fuel that you have collected when you use it. Instead, use up the 500 units and keep all the extra fuel that you have collected along the way. In mission 12 your flamethrower will be confiscated but will be returned to you in mission 14 fully loaded with 500 units. This way you'll have plenty of extra ammo for the tougher missions later on when confronting the Alien. :)

IM STILL WAITING FOR ALIEN ISOLATION 2

[edssoncamacho]

thanks, when the alien got out of the vent i used to hide for 15 minutes until he just got back, i always walked crouched and the game was pretty slow, and i overused the radar thing, i tried your tips and now im enjoying it a lot man

[communistyaroslavpokrovsky]

still playing the game, love it while waiting for a sequel.

[rafa]

I spent my life crouching and hiding in the lockers, great to hear im complete bait for those creeps.

Remember. Short controlled bursts....on the flamethrower.

I disagree a little bit about immediately moving out from your hiding place when you hear the Alien go into a vent. Sometimes he likes to double back on himself.

Don't you just hate it when you're hiding behind a desk and there is no way in hell that the Alien could possibly have seen you and you're sitting perfectly still not making any noise and the Alien somehow knows exactly where you are, runs straight towards you and kills you? Man I love this game!

[joelespinosa]

Thanks for the tips. Helped out a lot. I was going to give up on this game because I felt like all I did was hide. I'm really enjoying this game now.

This game is so good and such fun, I even enjoy watching other people playing it on livestream. I already finished it, but yet you get the pressure and the stress when you see them going through all over that again.

These are all great tips. I would just add some other ones. First, to save ammo, shoot the android once in the face with shotgun, then beat him to death with the maintenance jack. Second, don't waste flamethrower ammo or any other ammo on facehuggers, you can kill them easily with the maintenance jack. If you shoot an industrial Android with boltgun and he doesn't die, one shot with the revolver will finish him off. Save molotovs and pipe bombs for multiple targets. Don't get into shootouts with armored humans, use the stun baton if it's a single target, or use molotovs or pipe bombs for multiple targets. I like to use a noisemaker to draw them all together in a nice tight group, then i pop up and throw a pipe bomb at them

One major thing you should have mentioned is that you lose health in the locker and the reason you are caught even with pressing the right buttons is actually the death animation of you suffocated to death. Don't hide in lockers if you can indeed

[kennypilkenton]

Thank you so much this will help ALOT!

the hammer kills faces hugers without sounding the big boy.

[rocketcon]

Good tips. The game is not easy though, even with your advice I still die frequently. The humans are the worst, especially at the start of the game. Getting past them on Hard is incredibly difficult.
