Achieving the alternate ending in Dead Space isn’t just a matter of finishing the game in New Game Plus, though. You’ll need twelve mysterious Marker Fragments from all twelve chapters of the game first. Without further ado, here’s where to find all the Marker Fragments in Dead Space.

What are Marker Fragments in Dead Space’s New Game Plus?

Marker Fragments in Dead Space are an all-new item in the remake that can only be found during a New Game Plus play through of the game. You’ll find one Marker Fragment in each chapter of Dead Space, and if you find all twelve, you’ll unlock a new, additional cutscene at the very end of the game! Simple as that.

Where to find all 12 Marker Fragments in Dead Space

As we mentioned above, there is one Marker Fragment for each chapter of Dead Space, but you will find two during Chapter 5. You will not find a Marker Fragment during Chapter 12, as you will use them before this point. Additionally, these Marker Fragments emit a purple glowing light, much like the rigs you found during your initial play through. You’ll find each Marker Fragment in the following locations:

How to use the Marker Fragments in Dead Space New Game Plus

With all twelve Marker Fragments in your possession, you will now need to place them all before progressing onto Chapter 12. You’ll need to head back to the Executive Quarters from Chapter 11, where you had to shoot a tendril. Once there, enter Captain Mathius’ office. Approach the desk in here and activate it to place the Marker Fragments. Now, continue on with your game, and you’ll be able to see the alternate ending when you finally finish up with Dead Space!
