Only then does it rear up its tentacles to tear the ship apart, exposing their weak spots in the form of yellow bulbous masses as it hurls chunks of the ship's hull and explosive gas canisters at the ADS Cannon tower. The Slug is initially placid and won't attack unless fired at.

However, Dead Space: Extraction proves this point incorrect as Nathan McNeill disabled this particular ADS cannon (and possibly the system itself), the cannon would have been unable to fire at anything until Isaac came to manually reactivate it. The Slug was originally thought to have arrived on the ship after the initial infection, due to the fact that ADS Cannon 48 would have engaged it. The Valor then crashes into the Ishimura, causing considerable damage. The return broadcast shows a Marine of the Valor being slain by a Necromorph, indicating that they lost the battle. At which point Kendra is able to broadcast a warning to the USM Valor, telling them not to open the escape pod they retrieved. Immediately following the Slug's demise, it releases its grip on the Ishimura and begins floating off into space. During the fight, it would use its five tentacles to hurl objects at the tower, with each tentacle having a weak point appearing as a bulbous yellow mass close to the slug's body.ĭefeating the Slug required the destruction of all five tentacles - while at the same time using the cannons to destroy the incoming debris thrown by the Slug. The Slug had to be fought using one of the Ishimura's anti-asteroid cannons, specifically ADS Cannon 48. The Slug was blocking the blast doors on the USG Ishimura, which were needed to broadcast a futile message to warn the USM Valor to not open the escape pod they had retrieved because of a Slasher inside. The Slug is an exceedingly large Necromorph and the boss of the eighth level of the game Dead Space. ' Isaac, there’s something big on the hull of the ship, directly above the Comms Array.

Uses its gigantic tentacle's to catapult objects (mostly metal torn from the ship) at USG Ishimura's hull.
