How will the alien be defeated?

[Xenoscream]

So place your bets on how the Alien will be beaten.

We know blowing it into space is always a solid option, I'm personally hoping for something a bit original, but to be honest I can't think of too many other legit ways of killing it without any serious firepower.

Ripley will throw a tank in its mouth and blow it up, Jaws style :p

  Thrown into space or crushed by some mechanism ( which we're gonna have to lure the alien into ) .

As much as I appreciate it being Alien styled, I really don't want to chuck it out the airlock. It's becoming a tired trope for Aliens.

Some heavy script will crush it thats for sure 

[Xenoscream]

Hm I'm leaning towards a heroic sacrifice / lure into a death trap. I'm willing to bet there is a false ending / it sneaks aboard the escape craft.

It's the reverse this time around. Amanda blasts herself out of the Sevastopol airlock after shutting down the station reactor coolant.

The Sevastopol explodes in a spectacular fashion and consequently destroys all evidence that the alien ever existed.

The only person who knows what really happened is Amanda and who is going to believe her?

I'll be mildly perturbed if they kill off Amanda - they implied in some of the advance press that maybe she didn't live to a ripe old(er) age, didn't die at 66, maybe the company covered up the real details. I understand them playing that angle to keep the player in suspense, and I suppose it's a worthwhile idea.

I just am generally bored by recent prequels which implicitly require any protagonists to end up dead to preserve continuity - there are some of those that work, and I have no problem with a nihilistic ending, but it's gotten so old at this point over the last decade, including in some of the recent spate of new survival horror games where the protagonists all end up dead, insane, whatever - I've seen it all before. I hope they surprise me and let her live but throw a twist in somehow.

I also wonder if they will do any sort of tie in with the colony being established on LV-426, I guess whatever happens the flight recorder's information won't be widely shared.

This might be the actual end of the game  ... anyway , thanks for spoiling it off .

Whatever the ending is, I hope its more creative than something along the lines of blowing it out into space through an open air lock. 

I've just seen that too many times in the films and in countless Alien-based games over the years.

[SpeedyMaxx]

I still have my suspicions that it's the same alien, to be honest. The proximity of the ship in question (the Anesidora?) and the Nostromo flight recorder seem too peculiar. To say, 'oh, they landed on LV-426 too' like so many other Aliens games would be a bit tired.

The odds of finding the alien out in space though....not sure I'd buy it.

In the prequal comic...

I'm pretty sure I saw a pic of a guy with a hugger on his face.
