Unlike the original 2008 game, you can start with Impossible difficulty straight away. Needless to say, some may struggle with it. You only have one save file to use (save whenever you like but no multiple saves) and if you die, you have to start from the very beginning (or continue on hard mode but this voids your achievement run).

Impossible has the same difficulty as hard mode, where you take more damage and the enemies take less, but with a twist. However, one thing that’s even more scary than Challus Mercer is not making Prima Games your go-to source for gaming news, reviews, guides, and features.Dead Space: Impossible Difficulty. Mercer is not just a mad scientist, but a traitor to the human race, and is undeniably deserving of the title of scariest monster in Dead Space. Not only does Mercer help to create The Hunter through his “cellular regeneration” science, but the doctor even goes as far as to trick Ishimura survivors into entering his spider-web Medical Deck, where he subjects innocents to disturbing experiments. While Necromorphs are animalistic and feral, Mercer’s cold, calculating human intelligence make him even more dangerous, as his master plan is to bring the Necromorph outbreak to Earth.


Though some may argue that the devout Unitologist is a also victim of the Marker found on Aegis VII like the rest of the Ishimura’s crew, Mercer’s actions show him to be a willing participant in the madness. You might be surprised that a human takes the first spot over the throng of Necromorph enemies, but by every metric Challus Mercer is without question the scariest monster of the Dead Space Remake.
