Log #1 (Audio Log)
When the mission starts, you gain control over Isaac, who is inside his apartment.
You turn right and on the desk inside the apartment is the first Dead Space 3 collectable in the mission.
It is the Dead Space 3 Chapter 1 Log #1 in the form of an audio message which requires the action button to be pressed in order to be collected.
Log #2 (Text Log)
Next to the desk, in the same apartment, is a bed.
On the bed you can find the second Dead Space 3 Log in Chapter 1, a text log.
Artifact #1 (Earth Gov Artifact 01)
After exiting the apartment and following the corridors, you encounter the soldiers who were in Isaac’s room. They say to get to the car, but the car explodes and Isaac falls in the sewers. You proceed towards the objective until you reach the highway.
There are unmanned vehicles on the highway that need to be stopped using Stasis.
If you look inside the room on the left side, where the Stasis Recharge station is, you can see the first Dead Space 3 Chapter 1 Artifact collectible in the mission.
In order to get it you need to stop the traffic using Stasis. After that, the room becomes accessible and you can collect the EarthGov Artifact.
Artifact #2 (Unitologist Artifact 01)
The second Dead Space 3 Chapter 1 Artifact can be found later in the mission, after the cutscene with the Marker. You clear the first room of enemies, and then you follow the path until you reach an elevator.
As soon as you exit the elevator you need to check behind the reception desk thats on your right side.
There, you can find a Unitology Artifact collectable.
Now you need to find the train and solve the puzzle to unlock Chapter 2.
