I think I discovered most of these in the process of playing many times, apart from silent walking (still didn't realize that could be controlled) and the alien not being able to pass over open vents. One occasion I was in Seegson Comms vent where the alien got trapped in a glitch, I was able to test out all my weapons on him without him being able to get me. Stun batons have no effect on him, even if they kill humans and stun joes. Bolt guns stun him too but they are too slow to use to keep him back. There's a few vent areas where he doesn't seem able to go, including vents with "steps" up or down, and I've never been able to get him to enter that small room accessible by vent from the Systech Lobby. Can he go there? I thought I knew all his scripted drops, but a couple of days ago I was playing on hard difficulty and the first glimpse of him in the Tech Support HQ room I thought, "I'm safe, he doesn't drop in this section unless there's a glitch" but he did, after I ran down the corridor on the left, he dropped out of the vent hearing me and just killed me. Still finding out stuff I didn't know about the alien's behavior. Noticed the alien often doesn't respond to the noisemaker on other difficulties, my only sure fire way of making it drop in some places like the medical labs is a flashbang or a pipe bomb. Maybe I overused them and it got bored? forcing me to use louder methods to attract it. I'll use the KG341 vent trick in future, it's always a bit hairy trying to flame him when you can't always be sure which direction he will run from. Useful info about how to take down super joes with guns though, I will leave my revolver at home.
@@PsychoHypnotic Medical always seems the worst for it (pre evacuation procedure). I guess there are humans there usually making noise, as well as station ambient and lots of grinding and creaking noises. It's a pain because that's usually where I need him to drop, to take care of those humans, lol.
Psycho is a true Alien Isolation master! It’s a pleasure watching him play. Beating the game in record times on nightmare level with no deaths is a way of life for him. Always entertaining runs!
The "if I can't see him, he can't see me" tip is hilarious and i think it actually worked for me without me knowing. I was crouching perpendicular to the alien while curving my vision with lean around the corner and was surprised it didn't give me a tap on the shoulder.
i got it for free on epic over a year ago. i finally started it this weekend. scary as hell game! im playing it in a dark room with headphones. so many times ive been like, "F*** F*** F*** F*** F***!" while sprinting away bravely. lol
I don't even play this game, but I watched the whole vid, because I love watching you speedrun it and it gives me a better understanding about what you are doing. The mechanics are really interesting in this game
Alien Isolation is one of my favorite games and is my favorite Survival Horror to date! I'm a huge fan of the Alien franchise and this game really hits home and stays true to the franchise right down to the retro technology.
100% agree. Its definitely the best alien game ever made capturing that terror perfectly. Shame we never got a second installement. But I am still hoping I can make thid game more popular with my content 🤘
@@PsychoHypnotic yeah it is a shame but I remain hopeful for a second installment of Alien Isolation. There is still much to tell in Amanda Ripley's story and a sequel could do well with Alien Isolations growing popularity. It may yet become a cult classic horror game, it is to me.
One time I did a nice little experiments. I tried out how many times you can shoot the alien with the shotgun, before it attacks you anyway. I was able to shoot it 14 times, always shooting and reloading one ammo immediately and shooting again when it screeched at me. Kept it at bay for a minute. I don't know if that's a universal experience or not but I thought it was a fun little experiment.
Its crazy scary how angry the xenomorph gets during the tip 11 segment. Now trying that in the real game, its extremely stressful you trying to get away and you hear it screeching angry and running hearing its heavy stomps
What's funny is that I never used the flamethrower throughout the entire game except for one time when I couldn't find a place to hide in time. I played through the hardest difficulty you can play on for the first time through. I also never used the bolt gun, stun gun, shotgun or EMPs. I never realized how useful these things were and I was hoarding them in case I really needed them.
@@malan873 it’s not hard the whole level is basically scripted and the nest was easy without bolt gun it was the reactor with androids that was somewhat difficult
I didn’t the alien to be far more aggressive in the last survivor DLC haven’t been able to finish it yet. Also full disclosure this game gives me incredible anxiety. I love it.
I thought it was odd that the game gave you a shotgun, but didn't seem to want you to use it except for Working Joes. I guess it's more of a psychological thing if anything; the game is way less scary if you realize your guns actually do something. If I'd have known this, I probably would've taken more chances and tried to think of how I could use the stun effect to my advantage.
Finished the game on "nightmare" twice, and never knew about exploding fire extinguishers. So many gadgets, and ways to disctract the alien, but I used only 2-3 molotovs + flamethrower in every playthrough.
And here I was thinking I'd picked up well from watching you already. You're on a whole level of your own my friend. Will be using these all for my first Twitch run as well.
Great collection of tips. So much creativity and options in this game. Not a speedrunner but these will help me on my second playthrough on a harder difficulty.
I'm doing my first Nightmare runthrough right now (with the improved AI mod), and I really needed these tips. The androids are so much more difficult than on hard, and they always corner me, so that stun 8 seconds trick will be very handy. It's great to see the breadcrumbs of sound trick explained so well too, because I've seen you use that trick in speedruns, but haven't understood the mechanics of it.
I have been playing alien isolation since 2014 and I got better at it the more I played it(I have this habbit of playing games over and over again for years! xD). i like your tips, they're useful and the only one i did't discover are tip 6 and 14.
Great Tips. I finished the game on hard and also finished all the survival mode runs with all objectives (not the most points). Was thinking of re-running this game on nightmare to finish it once and for all. Edit: Done finishing the game on nightmare. I did watch a nightmare walkthrough since i didnt remember map directions too well. Other than that, it was so much more easier than my first playthrough on hard.
This is great. Done very well. Alotta tips I already knew just from playing the game but still great to hear explanations and how to actually properly use these tactics.
I just got Alien Isolation for free from the Epic games holidays thing and I've been playing for 13 hours now and DAMN these tips make the game helluvalot more enjoyable
I had no clue about the stun baton vs humans and facehuggers. Great video as always, Psycho-sensei. By the way, this video felt like a "goodbye" to Sevastopol. Tell me it ain't so! ):
@@PsychoHypnotic You had me worried for a bit! It's not like I would unfollow or whatever, it's just I'm too used to your Amanda Hypnotic or Psycho Ripley misadventures. :)
Thanks for the video. Just started playing this game last night. Hopefully these tips will help me relax dealing with him. Up to now, I've spent most of my time in a locker, lol.
Tip 1: Fear is the mind killer Tip 2: Remember your anxiety medicine Tip 3: The Alien is more afraid of you than you of it Tip 4: Not all tips are made equal…
8:56 actually, I was able to go in the locker and not get killed even as the alien saw me enter. Idk how but I got away even after he saw me just by hiding in the nearest locker and he would walk away confused 🤷🏻♀️
Afaik that can be possible on lower difficulties since the aliens viewcone is more narrow than on nightmare. I was always dead on nightmare when that happened xD
Great job and very helpful tips! Also, your voice is very soothing. I've fallen asleep several nights listening to your narration. Its like videoed chloroform. Well done.
Well, one mistake noticed on your first tip :D You CAN force him into threating animation, if you dont attract attention and use these 5 seconds wisely. Force the animation, then go around the corner and crouch walk away. He will rush your last known position and start looking around. If he reaquires you, you can force this animation again. Dawg. Didnt know about android stun, EMP vs human stun and smoke bombs to evade alien senses... Overall, great job mate!
Great job on the video buddy!! I can see why you kept saying you were still working on it. But you can see this has a lot of effort put in, nice work. Also i love the dig at the start, that was funny hahaha
@@PsychoHypnotic In the views of a casual player of the game, this stuff is sooo handy. You shouldn't worry about the little nuances that were missed as those don't impact the overall usefulness of the tips provided. You can always make a more in depth video about the intricacies of the more complicated tips. But this video works wonders for those who just want an improved playthrough or just know how to move more freely instead of hiding in lockers every 5 minutes. I say again, great job dude :)
I played this game recently again on Hard mode .. I ended up having 1000 units of flame fuel cuz I hardly ever needed to use it. Nightmare mode was a little different but I got as far as ejecting Project KG384 but I ended that mission with about 375 units. I’ve gotten pretty good at being a stealthy bastard. I’ve logged some 750 hours playing this game :P Flares truly are a girls best friend!
I came back to Alien Isolation after playing the heck out of Aliens Dark Descent. Which seems to be a perfect Mix of Stealth and Action with great Atmosphere.
Havent played this in a while, but to anyone who likes a stealth type of game play and the Alien franchise, play it on Hard if you can. The game is amazing. The AI is amazingly immersive on Hard. I haven't tried anything lengthy on nightmare. Nightmare is more of a challenge mode. I'm not a speedrunner, except I did some sub 6 min getting over it runs. But I do enjoy breaking down mechanics like you see in this video and mastering them. This is good stuff. Love it.
i've just finished my 2nd playthrought of this game , on Hard mode (1st one was shortly after game release). Knowing all those tips would make the game a ton easier...but would also destroy the experience :)
Hehe you are welcome, I hope you can finish it :) if you still have problems we have lots of knowledeable people in my discord that could help and you can also download mods for different experiences :)
Damn I had no idea you could straight up force the alien to approach you slowly and cautiously. I always just doused the bitch in flames any time he found me.
At 3:30 if you stand in his way he just knocks you back & you loose health, if you're below half you die. At full health you wont die. Atleast on hard.
Just completed the game on nightmare. I tried to use items as less as possible, as I didn't know where something may be useful next. So it was sometimes annoying just to hide around. Few times I noticed that Xeno doesn't see me near fire. Or maybe I was not in the cone? Super Joes was annoying at the reactor. Many times I thought: it's damn good they cannot run 😂 and just walking like ducklings
My dad got this game a long time ago on a ps3 (bc it didn't run on his old work computer), and it's just been sitting in our basement gathering dust. Meanwhile, I just was wondering why it only had 37 minutes on Steam.
Sehr interessant. Mein Gameplay bestand bis jetzt eigentlich nur aus Laufen und sich in Spinden verstecken. Aber wenn man die Mechaniken mal richtig erklärt bekommt, erscheint das ganze Spiel doch nochmal sehr viel facettenreicher, als es ohnehin schon ist.
I'm actually surprised at how many of these I actually use even though I play on console. I didn't think myself much of a speedrunner, and then surprised myself; currently going back through nightmare difficulty using as little resources as possible (as of end mission 10, 2 bullets, 1 flare, 2 medkits and about 60 flamethrower). I sat down for the first session and realised I'd only been playing 3 1/2 hours and I was already in the meat of mission 8 which is a record for me.... considering I'm also going back to scavenge as well. Can't really do crouch-hopping much because clicking the sticks rapidly with small hands is a massive chore and sets off my carpal tunnel. I will use it for short bursts if needs be. My favourite thing that I think I might of blanked out on, is not triggering an attack when killing a facehugger. I mash it with the maintenance jack and it almost never has repurcussions. I discovered this by accident when I was a bit of a noob and didn't have my flamethrower equipped. A light bulb went off in my head and made certain parts much easier. I really think more people should see this and maybe it'll help quell the 'fear' factor if they know how it reacts.
Thats awesome that you already used most of the stuff. That means you really took a deep dive into the game which is awesome. I also hope this guide helps people that have to much fear to complete the game.
@@PsychoHypnotic That's precisely why I love this video! I've got several friends that just get struck by the atmosphere and can't mentally coupe with the game. One couldn't even make it as far as Axel out of pure terror. I love this game to pieces and I recommend it as much as I can. I'll certainly pass it along to anyone that needs a helping hand.
Yeah! The first one I came across I panic fired thinking I had the flamethrower out and bludgeoned it, It was so quick I couldn't even figure what attacked me
I completed this game on hard mode without ever understanding how to use the flare. Since I was using my keyboard it was difficult for me to actually process the situation where Alien is hunting for me. So anything other than just silently moving away felt hard.
I appreciate this video a lot. I'm currently trying to go for the no deaths trophy on hard mode. I'm also going for the mercy or prudence trophy, so the EMP tip is gonna help a ton against that security team that comes in late game. I've really been underutilizing the smoke bomb too, they would have saved me so much pain while trying to use the torch to open up doors with the alien lurking about. Anyway, I'm wondering if the smoke bombs are useful against facehuggers at all? Will that also disrupt their sight, or do they just continue making their way towards you despite the smoke? I've been saving my stun baton charges specifically for the facehuggers, cause I know they're gonna be such a pain to deal with while going for the no deaths trophy.
I panicked on the anesedora (I know it's spelled wrong) and bludgeoned the one that comes out of the boxes to death and that's when I learned just the regular attack with the maintenance thing works
for the security team you can just sneak in one of the rooms, open a closed doors with a terminal and let a super Joe do the job (yes, it can kill the entire security team with little to no effort, just remember to hide)

I gotta leave out anything but flamethrower for facehuggers though, my timing isn't always precise enough with them not to get hugged.
I use the
"Never play it so I can't be killed" trick
@@VV-lw8vb it actually can be that loud environment noises like alerts going off can overshadow the noise of noisemakers.

I've put hundred of hours into this game too, but mine were spent hiding and evading like a little bitch.
Well that is also a legit way to experience the terror of this game :)
Haha
I'll be playing this game next week while at the beach...I have a feeling i'll be playing like a little bitch as well. 😝
The best way 😁
No shame in hiding if the thing is unkillable.
Dude you describing how to keep the Alien at bay felt like Steve Irwin talking about a crocodile XD
he is the steve irwin of alien isolation
Lol
Crikey! That's a big one.
I mean the way the programmers made the alien act kind of like a rather sadistic animal is probably why
"'Ave a look at that Xeno!! She's a beauty- you're alright you're alright. "
I’m really good at panicking and dying in this game
The summary of my game entirely,
A good mess-up is always rewarded by the alien tho xDDDD
Hahaha im right there with you panic flames for all in my path
😅😅😅😅 That part!!!
Psycho is a true Alien Isolation master! It’s a pleasure watching him play. Beating the game in record times on nightmare level with no deaths is a way of life for him. Always entertaining runs!

Crouch hopping.

You must teabag to survive.

I haven't tried anything lengthy on nightmare. Nightmare is more of a challenge mode. I'm not a speedrunner, except I did some sub 6 min getting over it runs. But I do enjoy breaking down mechanics like you see in this video and mastering them. This is good stuff. Love it.
Thanks for the tips. Very useful! Alien is one of my fav films and very much enjoying this game
Thanks man this is helpful I'll probably try to Speedrun this game in the future ✌️
Thats awesome William! Glad it was helpful 🤘❤
ty, well made! i didnt know any of these, pissing my pants in fear even on second playthrough!
One cool mechanic in this game is if you step on the aliens tail or if it touches you it will turn around and attack you immediately
i've just finished my 2nd playthrought of this game , on Hard mode (1st one was shortly after game release).
Knowing all those tips would make the game a ton easier...but would also destroy the experience :)
Tip number 18, keep an extra pair of pants around when playing this game.
Damn man you are amazing at AI I recently finished playing it but it's always fun watching your videos keep up the good work !!! ❤️
Thank you so much! Glad you like it 🤘❤
This is the best video of tips and tricks for AI. Thanks dude🎉
Such good tips my dude. Also Potato Psycho! Lol 💜 ya my dude.
Thanks man, really appreciate it
I love potatoes 🥔
Haha xD
Thanks for sharing these tips. Now I have no more excuses for not finishing it! 😢🤣👍
Hehe you are welcome, I hope you can finish it :) if you still have problems we have lots of knowledeable people in my discord that could help and you can also download mods for different experiences :)
Ive been able to one burst on hard difficulty. Funny thing is these tips still really useful for when i need to get out
Damn I had no idea you could straight up force the alien to approach you slowly and cautiously. I always just doused the bitch in flames any time he found me.
At 3:30 if you stand in his way he just knocks you back & you loose health, if you're below half you die. At full health you wont die. Atleast on hard.
Preparing myself for a legit one shot . Thx
Just completed the game on nightmare. I tried to use items as less as possible, as I didn't know where something may be useful next. So it was sometimes annoying just to hide around. Few times I noticed that Xeno doesn't see me near fire. Or maybe I was not in the cone?
Super Joes was annoying at the reactor. Many times I thought: it's damn good they cannot run 😂 and just walking like ducklings
My dad got this game a long time ago on a ps3 (bc it didn't run on his old work computer), and it's just been sitting in our basement gathering dust. Meanwhile, I just was wondering why it only had 37 minutes on Steam.
how do you make the game look so vibrant and colorful?
probably from his editing software
Very useful! Thank you!
best channel ever
Question when do u stream? And what time? Id love to catch u on stream
Hey Seth, I stream every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9 PM CEST, would love to see you there 🤘❤
Lmfao this is the first video of yours I've seen but you got a great UA-cam personality so I think I might stick around 😂
Me, watching this knowing full well I'm not playing this damn game again: *Fascinating*
Really good video psycho nice editing
Also
*IGN wants to know your location*
Haha thanks xD
"... make the alien go away" 🤣
Did you know that pipe bomb works the same as the mołotov for alien? Sorry but I am polish not english so i could make some language mistakes
Preety good English you just need to learn where the word "the" goes
Thanks
The Alien was meant to play with you, but you play with it instead ;) GGs
Sehr interessant. Mein Gameplay bestand bis jetzt eigentlich nur aus Laufen und sich in Spinden verstecken. Aber wenn man die Mechaniken mal richtig erklärt bekommt, erscheint das ganze Spiel doch nochmal sehr viel facettenreicher, als es ohnehin schon ist.
Great video :)
Did you know about the Horse Burger in the food vending machines on Sevastopol ? ^^
Haha yes... always getting a nice horse burger on Sevastopol xD
I'm actually surprised at how many of these I actually use even though I play on console. I didn't think myself much of a speedrunner, and then surprised myself; currently going back through nightmare difficulty using as little resources as possible (as of end mission 10, 2 bullets, 1 flare, 2 medkits and about 60 flamethrower).
I sat down for the first session and realised I'd only been playing 3 1/2 hours and I was already in the meat of mission 8 which is a record for me.... considering I'm also going back to scavenge as well. Can't really do crouch-hopping much because clicking the sticks rapidly with small hands is a massive chore and sets off my carpal tunnel. I will use it for short bursts if needs be.
My favourite thing that I think I might of blanked out on, is not triggering an attack when killing a facehugger. I mash it with the maintenance jack and it almost never has repurcussions. I discovered this by accident when I was a bit of a noob and didn't have my flamethrower equipped. A light bulb went off in my head and made certain parts much easier.
I really think more people should see this and maybe it'll help quell the 'fear' factor if they know how it reacts.
Thats awesome that you already used most of the stuff. That means you really took a deep dive into the game which is awesome.
I also hope this guide helps people that have to much fear to complete the game.
@@PsychoHypnotic That's precisely why I love this video! I've got several friends that just get struck by the atmosphere and can't mentally coupe with the game. One couldn't even make it as far as Axel out of pure terror.
I love this game to pieces and I recommend it as much as I can. I'll certainly pass it along to anyone that needs a helping hand.
Yeah! The first one I came across I panic fired thinking I had the flamethrower out and bludgeoned it, It was so quick I couldn't even figure what attacked me
I completed this game on hard mode without ever understanding how to use the flare. Since I was using my keyboard it was difficult for me to actually process the situation where Alien is hunting for me. So anything other than just silently moving away felt hard.
Tip 14 is so rewarding for me😅
Thanks pal
Welcome :)
I appreciate this video a lot. I'm currently trying to go for the no deaths trophy on hard mode. I'm also going for the mercy or prudence trophy, so the EMP tip is gonna help a ton against that security team that comes in late game. I've really been underutilizing the smoke bomb too, they would have saved me so much pain while trying to use the torch to open up doors with the alien lurking about. Anyway, I'm wondering if the smoke bombs are useful against facehuggers at all? Will that also disrupt their sight, or do they just continue making their way towards you despite the smoke? I've been saving my stun baton charges specifically for the facehuggers, cause I know they're gonna be such a pain to deal with while going for the no deaths trophy.
I panicked on the anesedora (I know it's spelled wrong) and bludgeoned the one that comes out of the boxes to death and that's when I learned just the regular attack with the maintenance thing works
for the security team you can just sneak in one of the rooms, open a closed doors with a terminal and let a super Joe do the job (yes, it can kill the entire security team with little to no effort, just remember to hide)
Nice video
Thank you so much 🤘❤
What can I say except you're welcome
Once the Alien arrived to the scene
Me: I am dead
