Where to Find All Marker Fragments in Dead Space Remake
Marker fragments in Dead Space are new collectibles that only appear during New Game Plus. These mini markers are the key to unlocking the Dead Space secret ending that the remake added to the game. There are 12 of these fragments scattered throughout Ishimura, and since the game has twelve chapters, it is mostly linked to one per chapter, with the exception of the ninth chapter.
In this marker fragment location guide, I will tell you where to find the fragments in each chapter, including the best order to get them, and how to activate the secret ending. Make sure you complete the game first and move on to New Game Plus before you start searching, as they won't show up if you're on your first playthrough. Anyway, here is each location containing a marker fragment in Dead Space and the order in which you must capture them.

Where to put all the marker fragments and how to unlock the secret ending
After collecting all 12 fragments, go to the ritual site in the command rooms on the third floor (Crew Quarters, Floor 3 - Captain's Quarters). Enter the double door and interact with the strange temple to place the collection items. After that, a small cut-scene will begin, and an alternative ending will also become available.
