The Dead Space Remake also offers completely new things, such as a secret ending for which you need all the Marker Fragment Locations. The alternate ending is something that even the veteran Dead Space players didn’t see coming, but it is a nice surprise. However, the process of acquiring that ending is long and tedious as it requires you to completely replay the game in New Game Plus (NG+) Mode and hunt down a collectible across all the chapters.
The Dead Space Remake puts you back in the shoes of Isaac as he uses his vast arsenal of weapons to take out the Necromorphs onboard the Ishimura. The remake feels familiar with many things, such as the armor upgrades and weapons like the Plasma Cutter.
- There are 12 Marker Fragments in Dead Space Remake, and they only spawn in New Game Plus.
- The first four markers are found in Maintenance Bay Office, Dr. T. Kyne’s Office, the Engine Room, and the Break Room in Chapters 1-4, respectively.

- The next three fragments are found in East Grow Chamber, Mineral Samples, and Communications Hubs in Chapters 6-8, respectively.

All Marker Fragment Locations
There are a few things that you need to know before you begin your journey of collecting every marker fragment and trying to unlock the secret ending. There are 12 fragment markers, and they only spawn in the NG+.
There’s one marker fragment in almost every chapter, with Chapters 5 and 10 having two and Chapters 9 and 12 had none. You will only have one chance to collect them, as you cannot replay any of the chapters to collect them and unlock the secret ending. Here is a quick summary of where you can find each of the Marker Fragments, with more detail entailed below.

Chapter 1 | Found inside Maintenance Bay Office near the Data Board. |

Chapter 5 | Inside Dr. C. Mercer’s Office. |
Chapter 5 | On top of the Cryogenic Chamber in Cryogenics. |
Chapter 6 | Top corner of the room in East Grow Chamber. |

Chapter 1 – Marker Fragment #1

Take the elevator up, redirect the power to Maintenance by using the circuit breaker circuit, and then head back down again. Make your way over to the Maintenance Bay Office to find the Data Board. But just before you collect the item, look to your right towards a shelf.
You’ll spot the Marker Fragment as it’ll be a purple glowing object. If you look at the image above, the Data Board is on the left, and the marker fragment is on the right. Shoot or melee attack it to knock it off the shelf and collect it. Alternatively, you can use your stasis module powers to collect it as well.
Chapter 2 – Marker Fragment #2

You’ll be asked to eliminate a bunch of enemies on two floors. After you eliminate them, you can head over to Dr. T. Kyne’s office on the bottom floor. There is a secret room in the office which you need to uncover using your Kinesis.
Move around the bookshelf on the left side of the office, and the secret room will be revealed, as shown in the image above. Head inside and look to your left; you’ll find the Marker Fragment on the table.
Chapter 3 – Marker Fragment #3

You’ll need to solve a puzzle to finally enter the Engine Room and then eliminate a bunch of enemies. Once you’re done with all that, look for Power Sub-Station 003. Move around to its left and behind it to find the next Marker Fragment in the dark. This is the same sub-station where you’ll need to place a battery as part of the main objectives.
Chapter 4 – Marker Fragment #4

Follow the directional guide through the elevator and into the Bridge’s Floor 3. Once you’re there, look for the Break Room on your map and head there. You can find the Marker Fragment on the floor of the Break Room, next to the red circle markings and candle lanterns.
Chapter 5 – Marker Fragment #5

Chapter 5 – Marker Fragment #6

Follow the directions it gives you, and eventually, you’ll be led inside the Cryogenics. However, before you pick up the liquid nitrogen inside the Cryogenic Chamber, walk outside and wrap around the Cryogenic Chamber and look upwards at the ceiling. You’ll find the Marker Fragment resting on top of the chamber. You can retrieve it by using your Kinesis powers to bring it down to you.
Chapter 6 – Marker Fragment #7

The main objective will ask you to “Inject Wheezer 07.” This will lead you all the way to a corner at the top deck of the East Grow Chamber. Turn off the gravity and float over to the opposite corner of the room. You’ll find the Marker Fragment hidden in a small corner, as shown in the image above.
Chapter 7 – Marker Fragment #8

Once you’re equipped with everything you need, head to the Processing Level of the Mining Deck. Move towards the opposite side of the large processing chamber and find the door to the Mineral Samples next to the shop. The Marker Fragment will be on a shelf.
Chapter 8 – Marker Fragment #9

Alternatively, head to the Comms Array on the Bridge Deck and start floating around in the Zero-G area. On the right of the communication control sign, you’ll be able to spot large Necromorph growth. Float towards it and grab it.
Chapter 10 – Marker Fragment #10

Head back to the Deluxe Quarters, and you’ll notice that the Deluxe Shift Bunks room will be unlocked due to the power source. Enter inside, and the Marker Fragment can be found on top of the desk, as shown in the image above.
Chapter 10 – Marker Fragment #11

Chapter 11 – Marker Fragment #12

What To Do With The Marker Fragments?

When you’re at the Crew Quarters area, move towards the “To Crew Deck” door and through the “Common Area” door. Keep moving down the hallway, and on your left, you’ll see the “Central Nexus” door. Go inside and up to the Floor 1 area. You’ll find a broken window, head through it and turn right into the Cargo Lift.
You should be able to spot a door that says, “To Executive Quarters.” Pass through the doors to eventually reach Captain B. Mathius’ office. Inside the office, you’ll find a large and ominous table. Place all of your fragments inside, which will trigger a cutscene, and then continue playing the game as normal. Eventually, you’ll get the secret alternative ending.
Finding all of the Marker Fragments is definitely a long and tedious process. But it truly is worth hunting each Marker Fragment location down if you’re a completionist and like completing all side missions or just want to see the new alternative ending in Dead Space Remake. To have an easier time with your NG+ playthrough, you should probably try finding all of the schematic locations to strengthen weapons like the Force Gun.
