Prey This Side Up Mission Walkthrough

Once Morgan regains consciousness in the Data Vault, turn towards the door and press the button next to it, jettisoning yourself out of the Data Vault and towards Talos 1. At this point, Sarah Elazar will call you, starting up the 'This Side Up' quest with the objective of Morgan returning to Talos 1.

Head towards the Cargo Bay marker, but proceed with caution, as a large number of Cystoid Nests are lurking around the entrance. Examine the corpse outside of the entrance to the Cargo Bay to pick up a Gloo Canister and some Spare Parts, and around this time you will receive a distress call from Dr. Igwe.

At this point, you need to quickly fly out towards Dr. Igwe's container in space, and make a note of the number on the side of the vessel, as you'll need this to save him. Proceed into the Cargo Bay, and go to the computer on the right of the area, picking up the TranScribe next to it. Examine the computer screen, and enter the number that was on the side of the container, choosing the 'Dock Container' option afterwards.

After the container has docked, choose the 'Open Shipping Container' option on the screen, and head to the docked container, which will be diagonally to the right of Morgan. Go through the first set of doors to come to the entrance to the Cargo Bay.

Prey Cargo Bay Walkthrough

As soon as you're into the Cargo Bay, you'll be prompted to reach the upper walkway to your right. This large room however, is full of Phantoms, meaning that you'll have to be especially sneaky if you want to get through unscathed. Turn to the right and drop off the platform, making your way ahead with the wall on your right.

If there's a Phantom patrolling this lower floor, then avoid it by hiding behind cargo containers, making your way to the very end of the bottom floor. At this point, you'll see an Operator Dispenser, next to a group of cargo containers. Jump onto the containers and face the wall, using your Gloo Cannon to make stairs to reach the platform on your right, jutting out from the wall. Once you're on top of this platform, use the Gloo Cannon again to reach the next platform, and after this use the Gloo Cannon to finally reach the walkway.

Once you're on the walkway, head straight into the room on your left, to meet Dr. Igwe face to face for the first time. Pick up any food items you need from the large table in this room, and then head out of the door next to Igwe, picking up the TranScribe of Alfred Rose on the ground on your right. Head over the walkway, past the people watching the Phantoms through the window, and into the next room on your left to activate a Medical Operator from the dispenser in the room.

Now head into the room in which Sarah Elazar is waiting from you, but before you reach her use the computer on your right to download the area map. Check the desks to the right and left of her, to pick up a TranScribe, Neuromods, and Pistol ammo. Approach Elazar, and she will give you the task of assembling three turrets in the area around Cargo Bay B, for the Shipping and Receiving mission.

Head back out to the walkway that you climbed up to in the large cargo area, and look towards the top left corner of the room. There's a path under the 'Fuel Storage Bay' sign, which you should take, heading underneath the blue flames spouting out of the large canisters, and picking up the Medkit next to the corpse afterwards, examining the corpse to retrieve a computer passcode. There'll be a room at the end of this hallway with a Greater Mimic in, and after you've taken care of this, turn the power back on using the small screen.

Go through the door on your left, and you'll find yourself back in the area with all the Phantoms. Turn right, and go all the way to the bridge area just outside Cargo Bay B, where you'll find a broken turret that you can repair. At this point, you can either take out all the Phantoms in the room using the combined firepower of both Morgan and the turret, or choose to ignore the enemies instead. Either way, picking up the turret and go back inside Cargo Bay B using the makeshift stairway up to each platform you created earlier.

You'll then have to come back out into this area to retrieve the second turret, which is found inside the first platform you climbed up to on your way to the walkway to meet Dr. Igwe, along with a Weapon Upgrade Kit. After you've got both these turrets back into Cargo Bay B, use the computer near the locked cages, using the password you retrieved from the corpse near the Fuel Storage Bay earlier. Open up Gate 1, and grab the turret from within, positioning all three turrets within the Loading Zone of the cargo bay.

At this point, Sarah Elazar will come down into the loading zone, and all her allies will prepare for you to open the main door, and fight all the Phantoms that have been waiting right outside. Prepare yourself accordingly, and open the door, fighting off all the Phantoms alongside your turrets, Elazar, and her allies. Once this is over, you'll be freed from the confines of Cargo Bay B, and Morgan can finally reenter Talos 1.
