Unlike most other fights, Stasis isn’t going to do much for you in this fight. The Line Gun will work if it’s all you have, but it’s not at the top of the list. The Force Gun and the Ripper are too short-range to do you any good in this fight. Those are your heavy hitters, but the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle are good to have on hand as well.

It will eat through your fuel fast, though, so stock up if you can. But, the secondary attack, the Fire Wall, is very effective. All of this fight will take place at a distance, so the Flamethrower’s more flamethrow-y primary fire isn’t going to do anything for you here. You don’t have the schematic for the Contact Energy ammo yet, so you’re limited to whatever you have in your inventory, though. The Contact Beam you picked up pretty recently is probably the best weapon for this fight. There’s a shop back in the Hydroponics Central Hub if you need to visit your inventory or stock up on anything (watch out for the couple Necromorphs on the catwalk). Sure, that will work, but there are much better weapons. That said, most of what you find is Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle ammo. There’s enough ammo and healing that, even if you walked in with an empty inventory, you’d stand a fighting chance. As soon as you enter Food Storage - it’s very dark when you walk in - you’ll see a ton of items floating around amid the bodies and explosive canisters.

Preparation for the Leviathan boss fight is oddly not important. Our Dead Space Leviathan guide will tell you everything you need to know to prepare for and win the boss fight. It’ll be at the end of the chapter, after a lot of running around in Hydroponics poisoning Wheezers.

During the Dead Space remake’s sixth chapter, “Environmental Hazard,” you’ll have to eject a giant Necromorph boss called the Leviathan.
