2017Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox OneArkane’s main campaign aboard Talos I. Prey (2006) and Mooncrash are separate campaigns.

Prologue and Break Out

Put on your suit, take the helicopter and run through the test rooms. After the incident, you wake up in the apartment again. Grab the wrench next to the body in the corridor and smash the panoramic balcony window. The passage behind the set leads into the Neuromod Division.

Check the control area for clues about the experiment. Pick up the GLOO Cannon and first Neuromod in the foyer. Install an ability from the menu and take the exit to the Talos I Lobby. To save ammo early on, immobilize Mimics with GLOO and finish them with the wrench.

Lobby and Morgan’s Office

Go to the Lobby executive floor and enter 0451 at Morgan’s office. Use the computer’s Looking Glass controls to play the file. When playback cuts out, January sends you after Calvino. Take the Teleconferencing Center keycard from the office and go through that area to reach Hardware Labs.

If you want more equipment first, take the Security Office keycard from the IT department (0913) or look for the maintenance approach. Lobby Security has a shotgun and a safe containing the shell fabrication plan. Find the Trauma Center keycard in Bianca Goodwin’s office.

Hardware Labs and Looking Glass

Take Sean Larsen’s employee keycard in the demonstration area, enter the Atrium and proceed to the Machine Shop. If fire or a locked door blocks you, try maintenance hatches, GLOO footholds or sealing the source of the flames with GLOO.

Collect the Artax propulsion plan in the shop and build the unit at a fabricator. Unlock the airlock at its control panel and fly out to Calvino’s body at the damaged section of hull. Brake beside him, take the workshop keycard and return to the Atrium to open Calvino’s Workshop.

Run the network diagnostic at the Looking Glass console. Open Network Utilities and select the server the diagnostic marked offline. Resume the recording in Morgan’s office, then take the General Access keycard from January and head to Psychotronics.

Psychotronics, the Psychoscope and Detour

The General Access keycard opens Psychotronics. GLOO temporarily shuts down a sparking electrical junction. Find the route to Janos Jozsef’s body in the preparation area and take the Psychoscope. Equip it and scan Typhon from a safe distance. Typhon abilities need the relevant research as well as Neuromods.

Follow the main route past the Atrium into Material Extraction. The terminal lets you release Aaron Ingram and get the armory code from him. To proceed, use the demonstration experiment’s controls and prepare for the Phantom it releases. The route then leads into G.U.T.S.

G.U.T.S. and the Magnetosphere

Follow the signs for the Magnetosphere and cargo tunnel. Clear Cystoid nests from range with GLOO. Search Kimberly Bomo’s body for the first tunnel code. The next barrier needs Anders Kline’s keycard.

Pick up Laurel Davis’s TranScribe in the control room. If you have access to the workstation, stop the Magnetosphere’s pulses there. Otherwise, time the flight to the body just after a pulse and return immediately. Take Kline’s keycard, open the maintenance tunnel and follow the branch to the Arboretum.

Arboretum and Main Lift

Inspect the Deep Storage door at the far end of the Arboretum. Zachary West’s body has a Crew Quarters keycard and a treasure map. The Deep Storage door requires Danielle Sho’s voice, so the next stop is Crew Quarters.

For a shortcut between Arboretum, Lobby and Life Support, go from the garden to the Main Lift and take out the Technopath blocking it. In the greenhouse, the Telepath controls several crew members. Stun the people with the Disruptor or kill the Telepath from range. Keep turrets clear of the humans.

Gathering Echoes

Read the message about the new fitness code at the concierge desk. There are several sources for voice samples. Start at the upstairs game table in the Recreation Center for Elias Black’s TranScribe and Abigail Foy’s keycard. Download the conversation file from the workstation in Danielle’s cabin. Repair II gives you two more recordings on her broken TranScribe.

In Foy’s cabin, look under the desk for her password, then download her audio file. Also search Skye Braxton’s habitation pod and Emma Beatty’s body in the fitness area. When the sample gauge reaches 100 percent, return to the Deep Storage door and use its intercom. For more samples, check the theater, Yellow Tulip or the cook’s cabin.

Deep Storage and Data Vault B

Read the note by Zachary West’s workstation for the stairs and Ivy Song’s computer. Open the Central Repository from the Security Booth workstation. The Huntress Boltcaster can hit the control through the window, or use Mimic Matter to fit through a small opening.

Retrieve the drive in zero gravity, plug it into the file station and choose Mount a Drive at the workstation. That gives you Morgan’s arming key fabrication plan. In the Command Center, use Danielle Sho’s workstation to select Data Vault B. Take the overhead catwalk to get around the obstruction. Once inside the vault, open the maintenance hatch and press the eject control.

Cargo Airlock, Igwe and Cargo Bay B

After ejecting, fly to the Cargo Bay hull. If you want to save Igwe, enter 2312 at the docking controls before his air runs out. Open his container after docking it. On the cargo deck, restore power from the control room. The side passage with the burning pipes gets you around the blocked door.

Climb to the catwalk with GLOO and speak to Sarah Elazar. Get the turret plan from the cargo safe or collect existing turrets, including the one in container 33. Set up three working turrets in the marked area outside Cargo Bay B. Sarah then gives you the door code. Open the bulkhead, fight off the Typhon and proceed to Life Support.

Life Support, Coolant and Reactor Reboot

The Technopath in Water Treatment is blocking the Power Plant entrance. Get inside with Leverage III or reach the overhead catwalk with GLOO. After dealing with the Technopath, reopen the way to the Power Plant.

Get past the secured Power Plant door via the vent above the Operator dispenser or use the Security Booth. Near Coolant Monitoring, put out the fire by Talia Brooks’s body and take her keycard. Speak to Mikhaila before the reboot if you want to save her. If you can repair it, restore the gravity shaft near the reactor as an exit route.

Enter 3845 for the Reactor Room. Open the safety switch panel and use the switches in the proper order. Begin the reboot. When the component fails, repair or replace the damaged reactor divertor. Return to the console and resume the reboot.

Coral Scans, Dahl and KASPAR

Fabricate Morgan’s arming key and return to Alex’s office in the Arboretum. Play his video, collect the Coral Detector chipset from his desk and equip it in the Psychoscope. Use an airlock to reach the two marked Coral nodes, scan them and upload the data at Alex’s computer.

Go to Shuttle Bay, take the shuttle control keycard from the Pilot Lounge and extend the jetway from the control room terminal. The cockpit contains the clue to Dahl’s technical Operator, KASPAR. Its position varies between runs. Follow the marker to Hardware Labs, Psychotronics, the Neuromod Division or the exterior and disable KASPAR.

If Igwe survived and you want a pilot for the finale, wait for his call and stun Dahl with the Disruptor. Then start Igwe’s procedure on Dahl in the Neuromod Division. Finish any outstanding side objectives before going to meet Alex one last time.

Finale, Escape Routes and Epilogue

Story details & possible consequences

Meet Alex at the shelter by his office and take his prototype plans. After the Apex appears, recover Alex’s arming key and carry him into the shelter if you want him to live. Make a separate save before committing to an ending.

For Alex’s path, fabricate the prototype Nullwave device, place it at the Coral heart in Psychotronics and activate it from the Bridge. January tries to stop you. For self-destruct, insert both arming keys into their slots by the reactor and confirm the sequence in the Captain’s Loft on the Bridge.

Once self-destruct starts, stay aboard, use Alex’s escape pod if you have EP101, or leave on Dahl’s shuttle if Dahl is fit to pilot. Launching EP101 early, before the finale, ends the current attempt. A full ending leads to a scene that assesses your treatment of the survivors. Depending on how things played out, you can take Alex’s hand or attack.

Alternate Routes and Tools

The GLOO Cannon doubles as a climbing tool. Stagger individual blobs on the wall to create a series of footholds. GLOO gives you a short window to pass sparking equipment. Repair can make a broken access point usable again.

The Huntress Boltcaster can hit visible buttons or touchscreens through an open service window. For a narrow gap, try Mimic Matter. Turn into a small prop and check how you will get back out before changing shape.

For variable locks, start with emails, notes and TranScribes. Once you learn a numeric code, it appears at the matching keypad. Workstations need the password pickup or the required Hacking skill. Security stations provide area maps and let you track selected crew members to their last recorded location.
