Restore access to Distribution | Walkthrough Alien: Isolation Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

As soon as you get there, go to the nearest console and save the game.

Go through the door and you will see a woman. She is not aggressive, so do not start a fight. Keep on going toward the door, and then through the hallway until its end. You will get to another door, in front of which there is a map update console.

Go through the door and to the end of the hallway. You will notice a motion tracking camera. As soon as you step into its range, it will give out a sound that will draw the Alien. Crouch down and walk past it, while sticking to the wall on the left. You will get to the location shown in the picture. On the right, there is a rewire system, which disables the camera. On the left, by the corpse, there is a plasma torch.

Use the plasma torch on the door on the right to get to the room with an android. It is not aggressive until you use the terminal nearby. Eliminate it with the stun baton, then access the terminal and unlock access to Distribution.

Once you remove the blockade, leave the room, and head to the door on the left. Walk until the end of the hallway and enter the room. Turn left and climb the ladder to the upper level.

Once you get there, head straight through the hallway, then turn right into a room. There is a code locker. The code is in a terminal in the next room (2743). When you collect needed items, go inside the room ahead. Be careful of the motion detector - crouch down, stick to the right side, and deactivate the camera (the rewire system is right behind the camera). Update the map using a console on the right wall in the room, then move on.

In the next room, at its other side, you will see the first lever. Pull it and open the door nearby with the maintenance jack, then go down the ladder to the lower level.

Go through the door on the right and through the hallway, until you get to another door (you can also use the parallel vent shaft). You will see another motion detector, so crouch down, approach the rewire system and turn off the cameras.

Once you deactivate the camera, go to the room ahead of you and approach the left wall. Pull the lever and go back to the center in order to activate the main console.

When you get back to the central section of the compound, approach the console in the middle. Do not start the procedure yet. Instead, pull the two levers on the walls of the reactor by the coolants. When it is done, you can access the terminal and initialize the distribution conduit. Next to the ladder on the left, there is a save game console, so use it.

Once you do that, go back to the starting location of the compound (the room where you met the woman). Most likely, the woman is already dead, so take useful ingredients from her body, and head to the door on the left.

You will notice another motion detector, which you should deactivate. The rewire system is right beneath it. Once you deactivate the camera, head left, open the door, go down the stairs, and activate the elevator.
