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

No matter how tough you think you are, hearing the Xenomorph's footsteps in a dark room, will always scare the shit out of everybody.

[ATEN_DNAR]

You know you designed a memorable level when I know exactly the place in question by the mere title “corridor of death”

[Quakecon-sr]

The first time experiencing this game was insane. Survival horror at its finest

[sydneyp]

You are one of the ballsiest players I have ever seen

[londellpatton]

This is some of the best use of gadgets and weapons I’ve ever seen used in this game. Incredibly smart.

[Magillion.]

I’m glad I hardly ever used the flamethrower until this. I scorched that alien so hard this mission

[ashf]

I think this game has given me slight PTSD and increased my skill for all stealth games x1000 because I completed the entire thing on nightmare difficulty with no deaths and I don't remember a damn thing apart from THIS corridor. Wasn't as ballsy as this, I just laid Molotov's on the ground and used flares but nowhere near as fast as this.

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... Had about 20 fuel left...

THE most cinematic gaming experience ever.

[markpeters]

That announcement on the speakers of the impending destruction of the ship is so damn good. Chilling. I always wonder how many other survivors were left at this point and where were they, what were they doing to try to survive

[danielhaire]

One of the only games to get the Xenomorph right - the ultimate nightmare.

[JJMDude]

Oh my god, that whole setting the flashbang down to stall it, and keep running until it closes in only to set off the pipe bomb gambit...?

Absolutely NUTS

[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.

[ellerj]

I am jealous on how fast you got through there. It can take me an hour and many many deaths before I finally escape. Nothing like going through that vent or seeing that elevator and thinking you're home free only to get jump scared and killed.

[KalibreSteelblast]

Yep. That's how you do it. Place your explosive.

I put one just outside the window one of the xenos bursts through, and the residual flame effect was enough to scare it back into a vent.

[wadelangner]

I would say this was the part I had the most trouble with on my Hard mode run. More than San Cristobal or the Reactor Core/Nest. Probably because your means of evading the Alien are severely limited due to the area’s linear structure.

[cmin]

Damn, that was intense... even knowing that I finished the game.

[Cortanarama]

Man I played this game all wrong back in the day. I never had all the gadgets ppl had, mostly used radar and flamethrower to get through last half of the game. Cool seeing someone who knows the game so well.

[blisk_spoon]

That's gotta be the best pirate i ever seen

[FrostFire]

the amount of times i nearly shit myself, perfect world building and great graphics, 10/10 game

[mreboric]

love that you pre game the entire scenario and its still a nerve racking nightmare. I knew your flash-bang and charge would scare it off long enough for you to get out but those damn heavy fast footsteps just wreak my chill and pucker my ass every time.

[bill]

I uninstalled the game after about an hour, before even encountering the Alien so that my PC didn't get PTSD from harbouring this game. Literally the thing of nightmares.
