Dead Space is among the best sci-fi horrors ever made. The original game came back in 2008 and was an amazing game in terms of content and visuals at the time. Fortunately, now a Remake of the game is available for next-gen consoles and PCs that new players can play. This remake isn’t just a replica of the original with better visuals. There are many new things added to the game. In the New Game+ mode, players will encounter Phantom Necromorphs, and here is a guide on what are these creatures in Dead Space Remake.
What Are Phantom Necromorphs in Dead Space Remake?
Once you’ve finished Dead Space Remake on any difficulty, the New Game+ will become available. In this mode, players can upgrade the suit to Level 6, can also achieve the secret ending, and then there is the Phantom Necromorphs.
Phantom Necromorphs are basically the stronger and tougher version of the original Necromorphs. They have more limbs, a purplish tint to their skin, and red eyes, which makes them more terrifying.
It’s not just a matter of appearance. Phantom Necromorphs are stronger, attack faster, and take more firepower to kill and sever the limbs. It was designed this way so players won’t be overpowered in the New Game+.
There are three variants of Phantom Necromorphs: Phantom Slashers, Phantom Leapers, and Phantom Lurkers. You will also encounter them in your first playthrough as well. But it’s only on the last levels of the game that serve as a mini-boss.
But in New Game+ mode, they will be spawned from the first chapter of the game until the end. If you have already upgraded most of your weapons, you shouldn’t have much problem defeating Phantom Necromorphs as well.
