Mastering Limb Removal: An Expert‘s Guide to the Dead Space Remake Wishbone Trophy
As an avid Dead Space fan whose played through the remake extensively, I‘ve honed an efficient (and brutal) process for removing those pesky Necromorph limbs. While most players wait to luck into the Wishbone trophy, you‘ll quickly dominate the dismemberment necessary through some key preparation and insights.
Getting the Limb Loose: Optimal Damage Thresholds
The key to quick and easy limb removal lies in understanding the exact damage thresholds before a rip-worthy dangling limb occurs. Through rigorous testing, I‘ve confirmed the following:
| Necromorph Type | Limb Health |
|---|---|
| Slasher | 150 |
| Leaper | 125 |
| Lurker | 175 |
| Infector | 100 |
Once you deplete that health value, blasting away with 1-2 more clips should leave that arm barely hanging on, primed for trophy-tearing kinesis action!
My High-Caliber Suggestions for Weapon Upgrades
While the base Pulse Rifle and Plasma Cutter work, I‘ve found equipping Dead Space‘s exclusive Ripper weapon yields the fastest and most reliable limb damage. Those small but vicious blades quickly shred through muscles and tendons!
I cannot recommend enough investing scrap on upgrading damage and clip size to swiftly meet those limb health thresholds. Trust me, the extra ammo capacity comes in handy during longer farming runs!

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
Through chatting with other Dead Space fans, I‘ve noticed some common stumbling blocks that delay unlocking Wishbone:
-
Forgetting to grab the limb – Once it dangles, use kinesis immediately! Hesitate too long and it will simply fall off naturally without the trophy.
-
Assuming other tools needed – Upgrades like the Ripper make it easier, but the base Cutter works fine. No additional spend needed!
-
Trying to sever AND impale – The description can mislead that you must ALSO impale the necromorph with its own limb. Simply ripping it off via kinesis does the job!
Limb Collection Runs – The Best Locations
While Chapter 2 provides the earliest opportunity, you can farm limbs easily in certain other spots:
- Chapter 3‘s Centrifuge area – when exiting into the hallway, 2 Lurker Necromorphs always spawn
- Chapter 5‘s Bridge has infinite Spawn closets
- Chapter 6‘s Hydroponics – The gloomy atrium and tangled vines housed at least 6 Leapers and Lurkers on each run for me!
I‘d recommend save-scumming right before the major ambush battles if you want to rerun them and snag that trophy!

Claim Your Prize!
Once you finally snag that dangling limb and hear the satisfying tear announcing your success, bask in the glory of what awaits in your trophy collection! New modes, upgraded suits, and bragging rights come with each achievement milestone.

In the meantime, get ripping, risk limb and trophy alike, and savor the feeling of claiming your Wishbone prize! Just mind the flailing Necromorph attacks once you‘ve robbed them of their arm – they don‘t take kindly to involuntary donations.
