When you reach Chapter 2 in the Dead Space remake, your primary concern is retrieving the Captain’s RIG from Medical Deck. Unfortunately, several things are preventing you from unlocking this part of the ship, and it will take you a bit to reach this point and receive the codes from the Captain. Here’s what you need to know about how to retrieve the Captain’s RIg in the Dead Space remake.
Where to find the Captain’s RIG in the Dead Space remake
When you make your way to the Medical Deck, you will find a large barricade barring you from gaining access to the Emergency Room and a direct path to the morgue, where you can find the Captain’s body. You will need to locate two critical components to create a bomb and destroy this barricade: a Hydrazine Tank and a Shock Pad. It does not matter the order you obtain these items.

You can find the Hydrazine Tank by following the main path through the Imaging Diagnostic room, going to the other side of the room, using the elevator up, and going through a Zero Gravity breach on the Ishimura. When you reach the other side, the Hydrazine Tank will be on the desk, and you can trace your steps back to the main area. However, your pathway will differ slightly, so you won’t take the exact route back.

When you return to the main room with the barricade, the second item is in the Research Wing, a floor below your current position. You will need to follow the pathway to the Main Lab, and when you arrive, the location enters a lockdown phase, forcing you to fight through a horde of Necromorphs until you reach the bottom floor. From the elevator, head to the right and follow the pathway through the Main Lab Changing Room. A new baby-like enemy will appear in this room, and you’ll need to dispatch it and more on the second floor. You’ll find the shock pads upstairs.
