Alien: Isolation’s third mission, Encounters, continues our story on Lorenz Systech Spire. As you arrive to the transit station you will learn about the rewire system.

Go west to pick up some Ethanol and you will come across a closed door and a dead body you can loot. Use the opportunity to open the closed door as well.
Get to Seegson Communications
Going west you will come across a console that will reveal some of the map. Going further you will eneter a hallway that leads to two closed doors. North of there will take you into the lobby section and a hostile female that starts shooting at you as she runs away.
Access the console to reveal some of the map
As you enter the lobby you will get shot at so make sure you duck. You can explore the area before the bad guys come.
Find an elevator to Seegson communications
Loot all there is to loot from the central counter and pick up Archive Log 019 “Leave Work Now” and Personnel Log “A. Hutchison”. You can go up the stairs to find a vent shaft in the northwestern part of the lobby that will take you to a small storage room with some components. There are scrap parts to be collected on the lounge tables as well.
Once you go to open the central door and pick up the device you will hear voices of people coming and threatening to kill you. I climb up the east stairs and hide in the north part. They will walk right past you and go down the stairs to look for you by the door. Sneak past them at that point going southwest towards your mission objective. Otherwise you will get stuck in a room constantly patrolled by three people. In such case use the rewire system if you can to create smoke screens from activating air purification.
I used the rewire system to have air purification system create a smoke scree. In the smoke ahead you can see enemies approaching me, but I stayed hidden.
They will descend downstairs to look for you so you can just sneak past them and continue to mission objective.
Search Tech support for a new data cell
Go down the stairs and on your way activate the map revealing terminal. Facility control room is in the middle of Lower level and inside you will find a revolver and a keycard. Use the keycard to access the rooms to the east.
Revolver and the keycard are inside the security room
You’ll find the Nostromo flight recorder (empty), which will activate security measures and lock you in. There are these revolving shelves you can activate to create access to the back where you’ll find the required data cell for your hacking tool. Pick it up and go outside where you can now enter a locked room with Personnel Log ID badge and Archive Log “Empty Box”.
Flight recorder is located in the most eastern room of Lorenz Spire Lower Leve.
No luck with any data left on the flight recorder though.
To get out of the room activate green revolving shelves
AS you move enough shelves you will gain access to the data cell in the back
Smoke Bomb (V.1) Blueprint
You can find the Smoke bomb Blueprint on the table in the room before the one where you found Nostromo’s flight recorder. It is kind of hard to spot so make sure you don’t go past it. These help you create smoke screens you can use to avoid enemies.
Smoke Bomb Blueprint is on this table. Look at the map in the lower right for location reference
These are the materials needed to create a smoke bomb in Alien: Isolation
Flashbang (V.1) Blueprint
There’s a room with a dead guy to the north and on the east wall you will find the Flashbang Blueprint. These grenades can help you blind enemies or you can set them as traps.
Dead guy room is to the north.
On the wall to your right, as you enter the room, is the flashbang blueprint.
Disable security lockdown
Make your way back west to where the locked rooms were on the Lower level of Lorenz Spire. You can now hack open the door with your security tunneler. Inside the room you locate Archive Log 020 and 021. Once you start disabling the security lockdown you’ll meet an old friend. Sneak out of the room and I recommend using the air vent shaft to pass this whole section and get to the stairs that will take you up. You are now back in the lobby and you’ll witness how humans fare against the Xenomorph. Alien will now patrol the lobby and your goal is to know its location at all times as you try to get to the north and unlock the elevator door. Be patient and sneak around to avoid him and you’ll be “safe” inside the elevator in no time.
You can go back to the rooms that were locked and hack your way inside.
Disable the security lockdown and enjoy the cutscene.
As you make your way back upstairs I recommend using the air ducts located at the position shown on the map above
As you get upstairs you will have to avoid the alien patrolling the area
To help you avoid it you can use the rewire system (three consoles located above the lobby) to activate the air purification system, which will make a smoke screen.
Descend from the balcony down into the lobby and hack the door found to the right in the screenshot above.
I tried to get past the guy in the spire with the white coat. He saw me, shot 6 times with his revolver. I thought this would be a great time to charge him, but no. He fired another three bullets from his 6 shooter and I died.
