It's All in Your Head is a story objective in the Prey DLC, Mooncrash. It is only accessible when playing as Andrius Alekna.
Overview[]
While simulating Andrius, Peter finds his memory marker in Pytheas Labs. It is revealed that Andrius was mind-controlled by a Telepath during the Typhon outbreak on the Moonbase. Andrius hears the voice of his son asking for a toy, and goes to retrieve it, not knowing that he is being manipulated by a Typhon. He is able to escape from his observation cell and make his way over to the Crew Annex. Along the way, he is not targeted by any Typhon due to him being controlled by a Telepath. When he reaches Crew Annex, he finds his son's "toy" in a locker, and is then guided by the Telepath to escape via escape pod. Once he initiates the launch sequence, he immediately dies due to the Telepath detonating his head with Telekinesis. The "toy" is then shown to be a Mimic Typhon, successfully placed in the escape pod by the Telepath to head towards Earth.
Objectives[]
- Find the memory marker
- Find Alexei's toy (Crew Annex or Moonworks)
- Escape via Escape Pod
Notes[]
- Upon starting the story objective, the corruption level immediately jumps to level 4 and stays there for the remainder of Andrius' simulation.
- Although typhon will not target Andrius directly, those with area of effect damage such as the voltaic mimic or thermal phantom can still injure and kill Andrius.
- If Andrius kills a Typhon while mind controlled, he will be reprimanded by his son's voice. If he kills more than one Typhon, Andrius will die, hearing his son call him "Bad... bad... bad...". The cause of death is not specified on the Results Screen.
- The Telepath may guide Andrius to get the toy in either MoonWorks or Crew Annex, in which case the escape pod will be on the opposite part of the Moonbase.
- Due to Andrius being considered Typhon, he will not be able to pass any active Typhon Gates. He will need either an EMP or his Burrow ability to bypass them.
- This is the only story mission where the simulation ends upon completion, because the character does not survive long enough to actually escape.
