It is recommended to play through the game while noting possible Save Stations and item pickups before attempting Hardcore.

Simply cut off one arm and then continue to stasis it while you finish the task in this area. Checkpoint Restart is disabled, and the game will delete the player's save the instant they die. DO NOT use the boosting for the very last section of the game where Isaac has to get abroad the gunship to escape, this makes it tedious and difficult to see where the debris is and how to maneuver into space be aware of your movement and space.

Hard to the Core achievement in Dead Space 2: Complete the game on Hard Core setting - worth 50 Gamerscore.
