Introduction

Hi. Welcome to our comprehensive BioShock strategy guide. Weve done all we could to make
it one of the most complete and reliable sources of information about this amazing game *in
the world* (tadah!). We have detailed maps of all the levels, as well as complete lists of
plasmids, tonics, diaries, weapons all that followed by a exhaustive walkthrough, of course.
We give you hints on using each and every feature of the game. It doesnt matter if youre a
beginner or an experienced player. We bet youll find a lot of useful stuff in here.
Have fun!
Krzysztof Lordareon Gonciarz & Wojciech Soulcatcher Antonowicz

Please keep in mind: To make the guide as useful as possible, we use colored text to
indicate certain types of objects. All the items that you should find on a given level (plasmids,
tonics, weapons) are written in blue. Green text indicates locations corresponding to
numbers on our maps. Bronze is the color for all the audio diaries.


Walkthrough
Welcome to Rapture

LEVEL SUMMARY:
# of audio diaries: 2
# of weapon upgrade stations: 0
New weapon types: Wrench, Pistol

Plasmids Tonics
Electro Bolt none


The game begins with a plane crash scene. When you are floating in the ocean, head towards
the lighthouse and get inside. Get on the bathysphere and pull the lever in there. Youll be on
your way to Rapture.
After the Splicer gets away, pick up the radio. Youll come to know Atlas youll be getting
objectives from him for quite a long time now.

01 Here is where we really start our adventure. To make the best use of our guide, try to
look on our maps as often as necessary. Also, try to walk around the levels in the order we
suggest with our green numbers.
Get to higher ground this is your first objective n the game.
02 A Vita-Chamber to be found here. Vita-Chambers are sort of respawn locations for our
protagonist. Each time youre defeated, youll be reborn in the nearest Vita-Chamber, no
consequences whatsoever.
03 Pick up the wrench. It will serve you as a weapon of choice during most parts of the
game. Why? Simple: ammo doesnt come in numbers in BioShock, and the wrench doesnt
require any. Use the wrench to smash the rubble and crouch to get further.


HINT: Remember to search everything and everyone in the game. Each body and each
container can contain some useful items, such as ammo, health packs or EVE hypos. Your
inventory is unlimited in space so dont hesitate to collect lots of junk. Some of it might come
in handy once you start using U-Invent stations later in the game.

04 Youll meet your first adversary here. Its a Thuggish Splicer. Defeat him using the
Wrench and go up the stairs. Search through trash cans in there for some hypos, then pick
up your first plasmid Electro Bolt. After a short scene use your newly acquired power to
open the door (hit the controls to the left). Grab some snacks from the table before you go.
HINT: Possibly the best combo in the game is to hit an opponent with an electro bolt and
then smash him with the wrench.
HINT: Use right mouse button to switch between weapon and plasmid attacks.

Go through the passage and run along the corridor, through the destroyed plane fragment.
Once youre on the other side, defeat another Splicer. There are some health packs and EVE
hypos in here. Go through the door, defeat a Splicer and go further. Enter the elevator and go
up.
05 Atlas asks you to help him rescue his family. Well, you dont have anything better to do,
do you?


06 Kill the Splicer and take a pistol from the pram.

HINT: There are a few types of ammo for each weapon. Press [Shift] to check out which
ammo types you can equip.
07 Go down the stairs to the bottom floor. Youll meet a Lead Splicer in here. The difference
between them and the Thugs is that they can use firearms. Dont use pistol for now, these
enemies can be easily dealt with using the wrench. Also, try out shooting an Electro Bolt into
enemies who are standing in water (theres an Achievement for that).

Youll find your first Audio Diary here. These are the
recordings that contain the essence of the games
story. Try not to miss them.
AUDIO DIARY: [New Years Eve Alone] Diane
McClintock.


Head back up and go towards the toilets. Enter the right toilet first.
08 AUDIO DIARY: [Hole in the Bathroom Wall] - Steve Barker.
09 - Here youll see a Big Daddy showing off for the first time. Remember: Big Daddies are
always neutral towards you, unless you attack them first.

Destroy the padlock and go further. When you see three Splicers in water, shoot them with
an Electro Bolt.
When you approach the passage to Neptunes Bounty, a security alarm will sound. Defeat all
the Splicers (again, notice that theyre jumping into water!) and go towards the Medical.
10 - After a short speech from Andrew Ryan go through the hatch.


Medical Pavillon

LEVEL SUMMARY:
# of Audio Diaries: 17
# of Little Sisters: 2
New weapon types: Machine Gun, Shotgun


Plasmids Tonics
Incinerate! Hackers Delight
Telekinesis Security Expert
Enrage (for sale) Speedy Hacker

Wrench Jockey

Static Discharge

Armored Shell (for sale)

EVE Link (for sale)

01 Leave the hatch and head towards the foyer. Hack the security bot that blocks the door
to the South. When you succeed, this bot will fight by your side until its destroyed.

HINT: A detailed description of hacking can be found in an appropriate section of the guide.
02 Theres an Audio Diary in here.
AUDIO DIARY: [Adams Changes] Steinman
Go up the stairs and use the lever. A few Splicers will appear. A door opened behind your
back so turn around and go through it. Theres a Machine Gun at the other end.


03 Use another switch and a few new enemies appear. Defeat them and collect another
Audio Diary.
AUDIO DIARY: [Released Today] Diane McClintock
Go through the door into Medical Pavillon. Youll have another vision along the way youll
see some girls ghost. Use the switch to open the door at the end.

04 There are two turrets here (check out the map), as well as 5 audio diaries. To make
things easier, strike both turrets with the electro bolt and try to hack them [press V to hack].
This way they will help you eliminate your opponents around here.


AUDIO DIARY: [Higher Standards] Steinman
AUDIO DIARY: [Parasite Expectations] Andrew Ryan
AUDIO DIARY: [Vandalism] Andrew Ryan (jest obok automatw na pnocy)
AUDIO DIARY: [Love for Science] Tenenbaum
AUDIO DIARY: [Limits for Imagination] Steinman
Go South, through the door that says Eternal Flame.

05 Take an audio diary (its below the portrait) and go further due South. Youll meet a new
type of enemy here a Nitro Splicer. These folks mostly use grenades to bomb you from a
distance.
AUDIO DIARY: [Surgerys Picasso] Steinman

When you see the furnace, press the button nearby to burn the body and youll get your first
tonic: Hackers Delight. For more information on tonics check out the appropriate section of
the guide. For now, go up the stairs.
06 Crouch and go through the opening in the wall into the office of sorts. Here you find
your second plasmid Incinerate! Take it and use it on a nearby oil patch to dispose of all
the enemies around.


07 You can now use your Incinerate power to melt the ice that blocks entrance to Twilight
Fields. In the western part youll see a door thats code protected. The code is 0451. Theres
some ammo inside. Go further south and swim across the canal. Heres another tonic:
Security Expert. When you head back, youll be attacked by a Thug.
08 Go back to the main hall and go back the stairs to the dental section. Use Incinerate to
melt the ice again. Theres an audio diary.
AUDIO DIARY: [Freezing Pipes] - McDonagh
09 Youll see a shotgun in the middle of a room. Take it and the lights will go out for a
moment. You now have to hold back a few Splicers that come at you. Near the entrance to
Dandy Dentals youll see another audio diary.

AUDIO DIARY: [Useless Experiments] Tenenbaum
10 In Dandy Dental youll see a room with a tennis look to it. Enter and grab another
plasmid Telekinesis.
HINT: You now only have 2 plasmid slots so you have to get rid of one of the plasmids for
some time. We strongly suggest you stick to Electro Bolt and Telekinesis. By the way,
Telekinesis is used by clicking the mouse button and holding it to grab objects, then
releasing to throw them. You can use this power in combat (throw explosive barrels), to
destroy rocket turrets, or to solve some minor puzzles.
AUDIO DIARY: [Testing Telekinesis] Suchong


11 Enter Kure-All. Theres a rocket turret here its a good opportunity to get acquainted
with your Telekinesis ability. Grab its projectiles and throw them back at it. Go further to
look around the clinic.
AUDIO DIARY: [Enrage trial] Suchong
12 - Near the audio diary youll see a small air vent. Smash it and get inside. Youll find a
secret room containing a great tonic to have: Wrench Jockey.
13 To get to Painless Dental you have to smash the window and jump through it
(crouching). Its good to get rid of the turret first (you can use Electro Bolt to stun it, but
remember it will last but a couple of seconds). Inside youll see an audio diary and a tonic:
Speedy Hacker.
AUDIO DIARY: [Plasmids are the paint] Suchong.
14 To get inside Chompers, you have to use Telekinesis to grab the key that you can see
through the window. When you have it, use it to open the door. Theres some ammo and a
safe in there.
15 When you head back up, use the Electro Bolt on the door mechanism near the last room
you havent visited yet.
16 Go westwards through the corridor.


17 - Some Nitro Splicer will block your way from here. When he starts throwing grenades at
you from the balcony, grab one of them with Telekinesis and throw it into the rubble that
blocks the way. Go through. Youll find another tonic along the way Static Discharge.
AUDIO DIARY: [Symmetry] Steinman
18 Theres a safe and an audio diary in here.
AUDIO DIARY: [Aphrodite Walking] Steinman
19 Here is where you finally face doctor Steinman. Hes quite resistant to blows and can
cause you a little problem. The best way to kill him is to stun him with an Electro Bolt and
then shoot him with a Shotgun (short range). Try to take cover whenever you are under heavy
fire. When you see him running into the watery section of the arena, use an Electro Bolt to
electrify the water.
When you defeat him, grab the key from him body. Also, search the body thats laying on his
table for another audio diary.
AUDIO DIARY: [Not what she wanted] Steinman
20 When you head back to the main section, Ryan will blow up one of the corridors. Take
left and youll see a scene with a Little Sister. You now have to decide whether you want to
harvest her (160 ADAM) or rescue her (80 ADAM). This choice, well, matters. If you want
some advice on what to choose, please read the Little Sisters and Big Daddies section of our
guide. Beware of the spoilers, though.

Use the nearby Gatherers Garden vending machine to spend your ADAM. At this level we
think its best to buy some upgrades to health and EVE Enrage plasmid that can be found
here didnt really impress us in terms of deadliness. Notice the audio diary near the machine.
AUDIO DIARY: [Gatherers Vulnerability] Steinman
21 Once you go back to the central part of the level, youll see another Little Sister. This
one is protected by a Big Daddy. You shouldnt skip the Big Daddy fights in the game, you
know. This might seem a little tough at first, but saving/killing the Little Sisters is essential
to the game. Your weapons are quite weak now, but remember that you have infinite number
of lifes in the game, and Big Daddys health doesnt regenerate. You do the maths. Well, for
now itd be best for you to use Electric Bucks to deal with him.
When you kill Big Daddy and get the ADAM, youll be done with this level. Head towards the
emergency exit and use the lever once more. The alarm will be turned off and your passage to
Neptunes Bounty will be finally open.


Neptunes Bounty

LEVEL SUMMARY:
New weapon types: Granade Launcher


Plasmids Tonics
Hypnotize Big Daddy (a reward for saving
3 Little Sisters, to be collected by the

01 Go along the corridor up to the big room.
02 Theres a Little Sister here, altogether with her Big Daddy. This ones a little bit
different from the one youve fought before. Hes mostly using firearms (this type of Big Daddy
is called Rosie). Theres an audio diary in here as well, its at the southern end of this room
(you have to crouch and get near the turret there). Also, notice a tonic around the center of
the room: Medical Expert.
AUDIO DIARY: [Bathysphere Keys] - Sullivan
03 In this Gatherers Garden you can buy some new plasmids and tonics (Winter Blast,
Target Dummy, Extra Nutrition). May we suggest buying an extra plasmid slot?
HINT: When you rescue 3 girls, Tenenbaum will send you a gift that can be collected right
here. It will contain 200 ADAM and a Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid.

04 Jump over the crates and knock on the door. Peach Wilkins will talk to you. He wont
let you in unless you bring him 3 photos of Spider Splicers. One of these unpleasant types
will attack you in a few seconds. Try to hold her off for a while and Atlas will help you by
sending in a security bot. The damage you deal is too low for you to hurt her, but luckily
enough she will run off after a while. Peach will send you a Grenade Launcher through the
conveyor belt.


05 Go down the stairs and go through the watery corridor until you see a code lock. The
code is 5380 (you can also hack it if you like). Theres an audio diary here.
AUDIO DIARY: [Timmy H. Interrogation] Sullivan
06 In this corridor you will see another Audio Diary. In order to get it, you have to enter the
hole in the floor and go under it.
AUDIO DIARY: [Fontaine Must Go] Andrew Ryan
07 Head North through this corridor. Collect all the diaries along the way.
AUDIO DIARY: [Finding the sea slug] Tenenbaum
AUDIO DIARY: [Picked up Timmy H.] Sullivan (its by one of the bodies in the middle)
AUDIO DIARY: [Masha come home] Mariska Lutz (its near the Little Sister vent)
AUDIO DIARY: [Watch Fontaine] Andrew Ryan (its by the Circus of Value)


08 Go through the vent near the turrets to grab yet another audio diary and some
munitions.
AUDIO DIARY: [Have my badge] - Sullivan
When you smash through the turrets, go through a hole in the wall and head along the
corridor until you find a research camera. Take it and take a photo of a nearby Spider Splicer
HINT: You can find more info on using your camera (conducting research) in an appropriate
section of the guide. Notice that its best to start researching right from the start meaning:
now.

09 After an explosion jump down through the window (notice the Security Bullseye
plasmid here!). Grab two audio diaries as you progress.
AUDIO DIARY: [Adam Discovery] - Tenenbaum
AUDIO DIARY: [Eden Leaking] McDonagh

10 Theres an Audio Diary at the junction.
AUDIO DIARY: [Fontaines Smugglers] Tenenbaum


11 In Jet Postal you can see another Spider Spicer. Kill it and take its photo. Notice that
when a Spider Splicer grabs the ceiling and starts walking around it, you can use Electro
Bolt to bring it down. If you run out of ammo for the camera, you can buy some more film
in most Circuses of Value. Grab an audio diary before you leave.
AUDIO DIARY: [Death Penalty in Rapture] Andrew Ryan
12 To find the audio diary hidden here, you must go into the water near the vital chamber
and enter the vent. Once youre there, head to the other side of the tunnel.
AUDIO DIARY: [Meeting Ryan] McDonagh
13 Theres another Audio Diary here, as well as a safe with some minor items. You can get
into the hidden room by smashing the crates that block the entrance.
AUDIO DIARY: [Rapture changing] McDonagh
14 When going back from point [13], use Electro Bolt on the door mechanism to get here.
AUDIO DIARY: [Smuggling Ring] Sullivan (table at the middle)
AUDIO DIARY: [Working late again] Andrew Ryan (table by the window)

15 In the toilet you can find a few proximity mines. To enter, you have to put in 5$.
16 Go up the stairs. Theres the last Spider Splicer you have to photograph in here. Before
you head back to Peachs, look around the area here. In room nr 6 theres an audio diary
(use Electro Bolt on the door). The code to room nr 7 is 7533. Theres also an audio diary in
there, as well as a tonic: Shorten Alarms. Before you leave the tavern, you might come
across a Little Sister for some ADAM.
AUDIO DIARY: [Arresting Fontaine] McDonagh
AUDIO DIARY: [Saw Masha today] Mariska Lutz
17 A new tonic appeared by the Gatherers Garden: Wrench Lurker. Buy some upgrades if
you have the currency and head to Fontaines Fisheries. Knock on the door again. This time
he will open it for you.


18 Theres a tonic frozen in the ice here: Focused Hacker. Use Incinerate to get to it. If you
dont have this plasmid in any of your slots, use the nearby gene bank to enable it. You now
have to place all your firearms into the pneumotube.
19 Not surprisingly, you have to fight Peach in here. The difficulty about this fight is that
you dont have any regular weapons: only your plasmids. Notice some security cameras
around the area. You can hack them for some serious support. This way Peach will be under
heavy fire at all times. You, meanwhile, can try to throw explosive barrels at him using
Telekinesis. Its the best thing to do here as hes quite resistant to Electro Bolt and Incinerate.
Of course, you can always try to chase him with a wrench. It isnt as stupid as it sounds.

After you beat him, take your weapons from another pneumotube. Take a look around you
can melt any pile of ice here for some additional items.
20 In here you will see your fist weapon upgrade station. These ones are called Power to
the People. Each of them gives you one free upgrade of choice, then shuts down irreversibly.
Choose wisely, then. Before you leave, melt the ice to enter the storage to the right for
another audio diary.

them, throw objects through them using Telekinesis, or shoot their heads using a pistol.
10 When youre done with this part of the level, go through the door labeled by a letter D.
11 Look around this room and youll see a passage that will take you behind the blocked
gateway that youve seen before.

in there, check out the appropriate section of the guide.

gadgets (including chlorophyll that will be necessary in a while).

west, towards Langfords offices. She will speak to you through the radio and order you to get
a rosa galica for her. It can be found in the waterfall grotto (point [14]). When youre on your
way there, youll see three Splicers desecrating a body defeat them and grab the Security
Evasion tonic. Go to the grotto and grab the rose. Head back to the lab and use the pneumo
tube to send it to Langford. She will open the door for you.
22 Look around to find a Hacking Expert tonic, as well as two diaries.
AUDIO DIARY: [What Wont They Steal] Langford
AUDIO DIARY: [Teaching an Old Hound] Langford
23 No, you dont get to fight Langford, haha. This time the twist is that she gets killed by

AUDIO DIARY: [Adam Explained] Tenenbaum


08 You have to find 7 samples of the bee enzyme in the Apiary here. Theres even more
than 7 in here, so dont be afraid you miss something. 3 samples are in a safe to the left. Use
the lever here to release the smoke. It will keep the bees away for some time quickly go
down and start searching through the hives. Some splicers will appear and make it even
tougher for you. When you hear that the smoke is nearly off, retreat and turn it on again.
Leave once you have all the necessary samples.
09 When youre inside the winery, get rid of the turrets and the cameras, then search for
an audio diary. Go down the stairs to the cellar.
AUDIO DIARY: [Functional Children] - Tenenbaum
10 In this cellar you must find 7 bottles of distilled water. Its simple, just keep your eyes
open and they will eventually fall into your hands. Youll see an opening in one of the western
walls. Jump down to grab a lot of ammo and a tonic: Photographers Eye. The lowest level is
quite a big area, but the only thing worth searching for in there is the Power to the People
station. When you have all the bottles you need, head back to Arcadia [01].


Arcadia once more
Before you can invent the Lazarus Factor, youll need 7 bottles of chlorophyll. Theres a
chance that you already have enough (check your in-game objectives). If you dont just walk
around and kill some Houdini Splicers. Each of them has a bottle of it.

Go back to Langfords lab and use the U-Invent station to create the Lazarus Factor. Go to
late scientists office and use the Central Misting Control. As suggested by Atlas, run to the
labs entrance and close it by hitting the switch. You now have to hold off a number of Ryans
thugs. The best way to win here is to use Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid on the giant thats
neutrally walking around the lab. With his help there should be no problem.
When Atlas says that its time to release the factor, run back to the office and use another
lever. The forest will be brought back to life. When you feel ready, head to the Bathysphere
station. Theres one last audio diary on this level there.

southern part of the theater. In order to get to it, you have to jump from the balcony next to
it.
10 Here you will see Cohens masterpiece. Place Fitzpatricks photo on it and youll get a
crossbow as a reward.


11 The Frozen Tunnel. Take an audio diary and go further to meet Finnegan.
AUDIO DIARY: [The Iceman Cometh] - Finnegan
12 Youll be frozen for a while now. When you regain your ability to move, find Finnegan
and kill him (a single headshot from a crossbow sees the job done). Take his bodys photo
(also search it for a Frozen Field tonic) and take it back to the masterpiece. This time you
will get some ammo. Look around for a Little Sister if you hear Big Daddys steps
somewhere.
13 Go to Poseidons Plaza. To get through the frozen tunnel, just use Incinerate on the ice
that blocks your way. There should be another Little Sister wandering there.
14 Sinclairs Spirits. Press the button behind the bar to open the door. Enter the cellar for a
Power to the People station.


15 Go down the stairs [G] (they are closed unless you press the button from point [14]).

counter. Drop down from the ledge. Youll see Cobb running away. Defeat all the Spider
Splicers and then go through the small vent to get back up. Kill Cobb using your trustworthy
crossbow. Remember to photograph his body.
AUDIO DIARY: [Ryans Stableboy] - Culpepper

reason and send a group of Splicers on you. Defeat them to get your reward and a last quest
from this mad artist.

AUDIO DIARY: [Bomb Culpepper?] Sullivan
18 Sir Prize. Another audio diary on the lower level.
AUDIO DIARY: [Fontaines Army] McDonagh

AUDIO DIARY: [Guns Blazing] McDonagh
20 Eves Garden. After seeing the ghost go behind the stage.
AUDIO DIARY: [Pregnancy] Jasmine Jolene


When youre going back to the bar, youll see Rodriguez in there. Hell start running as soon
as he sees you, so chase him with your crossbow equipped, waiting for a good moment to
take him down. As always, take a snapshot of his body and take it back to Sanders piece of
art. Before you go back, though, check out Eves Garden again there will be another audio
diary.
AUDIO DIARY: [Its All a Grift] Rodriguez
When youre back to Cohens domain, he will finally appear in person before you. You can
now either kill him and take his muse (a chest containing a few pretty worthless items), or
keep him alive to deal with him later (its a lot better, trust us on this). Your reward for
helping Cohen will be Medical Expert 2.
HINT: Before you leave this level, once again go up the stairs [C]. This time you can enter the
projector room to grab an audio diary and a tonic: Electric Flesh.
AUDIO DIARY: [Requiem for Andrew Ryan] Sander Cohen.
21 Once youre ready, head to the Bathysphere Station and go to Hephaestus. Remember to
look for the third Little Sister if you havent come across her already (you can always find a
Big Daddy and wait for him to summon her).

1x Nitroglycerine Charge: Head back to Kyburzs office and press a button on his desk. You
can now grab the charge from the wall.
4x R-34 Wire Cluster: You have to search through 4 Big Daddies bodies to find these. One
of them lays dead in the workshops, so its an easy shot, but the other three will require you
to actually kill the monsters once more (well, if youre lucky, theres a chance that the bodies
of the ones youve already killed havent disappeared already).


2x Ionic Gel: If you looked closely around this area, you must have noticed strange blue
canisters that you couldnt pick up. These are the ones you want now. Two of them, to be
precise. You can find them around the core area.
When you have all the ingredients, head back to Kyburzs secret room and place them all
inside the bomb, then take the thing with you.

12 Go to Geothermal Control and reach the end of the room. Itd be wise to hack the two
turrets instead of destroying them, they will come in handy in just a few seconds. Start
turning the valve. Some Splicers will burst into the room. Fight them or rely on your turrets
one way or another, you must turn the valve to make the lava flow. Once its done, turn
around and take the elevator down.
Go along the corridor. Theres a tonic in here: Shorten Alarms 2. Reach the end and go up,
using another elevator. Place the bomb on the core. When all hell breaks loose, run back to

Fontaine.


Proving Grounds


Well, its not a fully-scaled level as those youve seen so far. Basically, the idea is: you are the
Big Daddy and you have to protect your Little Sister. She is to collect ADAM from three bodies
(marked by stars on our map above). Its not an easy task, really. Splicers will come at you
most of the time, and to make things worse the Little Sister triggers all the security systems
(they dont react to your presence, for a change). If your girl is defeated, you have to go back
to the nearest vent and hit it with a wrench to summon another one. Dont be afraid, though:
the outcome of this level doesnt influence the games ending. If you saved the girls, you can
still get the good ending even if you let some of them die here.

A few hints to keep you going:
- Hack all the security systems instead of destroying them!
- Use your surroundings. Theres a lot of spilled oil here and there.
- A good plasmid to use here is Winter Blast. You might suppose why.
- Your weapons dont deal damage to the Little Sister, so dont hesitate to throw grenades all
over her if shes surrounded by enemies.
Near the end of the level a Bouncer will blast through the wall and attack you. When you
bring it down, youll be done with assisting the girl. Take the Hypo thats given to you by one
of the Little Sisters. Look around the vending machines here. Now is the time to do your
shopping one last time. When youre ready, enter the elevator to meet your destiny (or
whatever).


Le Grande Finale

Fontaine got a little spliced up since youve seen him just a while ago in Point Prometheus.
Well, would you kindly kill the bastard? Run up to him and use the ADAM Collecting Hypo
on him to drain some of his power. Hell hit you back and begin the battle.
The battle consists of three separate phases. Fontaine has three forms: fiery, icy and electric.
Despite all your possible thoughts on how to beat elemental-based bosses in video games,
you dont have to use anything specific against him. Just hit him hard. Grenades can make
your day in this duel, as well as explosive ammo for the shotgun. Dont fight the Splicers he
summons from time to time they are pretty harmless compared to the big man himself
anyway. In order to survive here, you have to keep moving! Strafe, strafe, strafe like theres
no tomorrow, I tells ya. Fontaine attacks you by long-range energy missiles and by melee
thrusts (he kinda sums up the Bouncers with the Rosies). His attacks are not very difficult to
dodge, as long as you keep MOVING!! If you dont, youll die anyway make that a lesson.
Always keep in mind your health and use the 9 health packs you have (you do, right?) wisely.


After each phase you have to approach Fontaine when hes trapped in his machine and use
the hypo on him. If you dont make it fast enough, you will have to repeat a given phase
and that sucks, believe me. After you defeat him in all three forms, a heartwarming (or not)
ending will commence.
So, youre done with BioShock. Did you like it?


Hints
Playing on highest difficulty setting

Playing on highest difficulty setting Hard doesnt change the games story in any way, but
makes all opponents considerably more difficult to kill. You have to show some creativity and
courage to live up to that challenge. Mind that the game might actually begin to resemble a
sneaking title like Splinter Cell. The hints we summed up below can be obviously used on
lower difficulty settings as well they will be equally effective.

So, you want to sneak? Then be sure to use tonics like SportBoost, Wrench Lurker and
Natural Camouflage. They should keep you going for the most part.
Big Daddies these guys are creme de la creme of tough opponents in this game. Despite
being tough, scary and all, they have one major weakness: they dont attack you on sight.
You can freely choose when and where to battle a Big Daddy. You have all the time in the
world to choose the proper ammo (armor-piercing! electric gel! grenades!) and prepare the
arena. Until you come to posses a Chemical Thrower with an Electric Gel (thats a standalone
Big-Daddy-Killer), you should try to find a proper cover for the battle (a wide column, a big
tree, whatever suits you best). It will serve you as a mean to hide and to slow down the
enemy (try running around it). Its always good to throw a few Proximity Mines between you
and the Big Daddy. You might also use explosive barrels or canisters (move them using
Telekinesis). Once you have the Chemical Thrower, Big Daddies cease to be such a great
threat. Just produce as much Electric Gel as you can (U-Invent) and fry the beasts.


Big Daddy as a bodyguard the Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid is extremely useful. There are
lots of Big Daddies in the game and they always tend to appear where the action is.
Remember that they respawn after some time from being defeated (even if there are no more
Little Sisters on that level). The plasmids basic limitation is that Big Daddy doesnt attack
any enemy before he deals damage to us or we deal damage to him. Besides, watch out so
that you dont hit the Big Daddy by accident. If you do, he will turn against you. Knowing
that, restrain from using weapons ammo such as explosives, napalm or grenades when you
hypnotize a Big Daddy. The good thing to do in such situation it to hide behind a corner,
shoot a group of enemies with a short series, then retreat and wait for the Daddy to do the
job. If youre a perfectionist, you can use Hypnotize to weaken the Big Daddy before you
actually fight him. Remember that Big Daddies dont regenerate their health ever.
Cameras and turrets they are every bit as essential as Big Daddies. Always try to hack
instead of destroying them. Since turrets can be quite easily destroyed by the enemies,
cameras become even more important (they are often placed too high for a certain enemy to
reach them) on hard difficulty setting. If a camera is too high for you to hack, use Telekinesis
to get a crate below it or something equally helpful in climbing to higher places.

Effective ADAM spending. Especially when you decide to save the Little Sisters, spending
ADAM becomes an issue to be solved. In each Gatherers Garden you can buy only one
enhancement of health and EVE levels if you dont want to backtrack, that should be your
priority. Apart from that, invest in additional plasmid and tonic slots. Dont buy tonics or
plasmids if you dont really need them they become cheaper as the game progresses!


The Crossbow our weapon of choice in the later parts of the game. Why? Well, one headshot
takes out every single enemy of the game, except for the Big Daddies even the sub-bosses!.
And how do you perform headshots since the Splicers are always on the move? By
electrocuting them! Buy yourself an Electro Bolt 3 as soon as possible (Hephaestus), things
will become a lot easier. Works for everyone, except Splicers who are resistant to electricity
(which means, unfortunately, majority of Thuggish splicers in the last few levels). Also, the
possibility to retrieve ammo from the bodies is of great importance.

Researching an important feature on all difficulty settings. On Hard you may have to focus
on taking photos of dead enemies. Make sure that every time you take a photo there are at
least two objects on screen youll get some bonus points for multiple targets. The same
thing goes with taking photos of Little Sisters and Big Daddies, who always come in pairs.
Playing on high difficulty setting gives a lot of satisfaction. If youre hardcore enough, you
might also restrain from saving your game too often. If only there was a way to turn off all the
vita-chambers... Anyway, good luck out there.


Weapon types - Hints

There are 7 different weapons in BioShock. Here are their descriptions.





Weapon Upgrade Stations - Maps

There are only 12 Power to the People
stations in the game. Each one gives you
one free upgrade to choose. All the
upgrades are cool to have, but
concentrate on the ones that boost
weapons you use most often.

Hacking

When you decide to hack something, you have to complete a simple (not to be confused with
easy) mini-game, in which you are to move the puzzles around so they form a pipe. This
pipe must connect input and output of the board, enabling some sort of liquid to flow from
one end to another. There are different types of pieces on the board, and they have different
impact on the liquids behavior. For details see below.
If you dont want to play this mini-game, in most cases you can buy out the machine
(amount of money vary from very cheap to very expensive), or just use an auto-hack, which is
a disposable item to be found in some vending machines.
You can make hacking a bit easier by freezing the mechanism before you perform it.

Turret Fights by your side until its destroyed.
Security Bot Fights by your side until its destroyed.

Pieces description:

Normal piece you move these to form a pipe.

Occupied piece this piece has already been taken by the liquid that
flows in the machine and you cant move it any further.

Overload piece if the liquid reached it, you will be electrocuted.

Alarm piece if the liquid reaches it, security alarm will go off.

Slowdown piece it slows down the flow, giving you more time to
think.

Speedup piece speeds up the flow. Dont use these unless
necessary!


U-Invent

U-Invent stations enable you to process the junk you found into something of use. In most
cases you can create ammo here. The only exceptions are Auto-Hackers and 3 types of tonics:
Bloodlust, Boozehound and Hackers Delight 2.
We cant really give you any advice on using U-Invent station. The stuff you find is mostly
random, so just play the game without thinking about it and once in a while visit this
machine to process the things you found. Theres no point to taking the things any further
with U-Invent.

Heat-Seeking RGP

Trap Bolt

Electric Gel

Auto-Hacker

Armor-piercing machine gun ammo

Explosive buck

Anti-personnel pistol ammo


Enemies & Research
Youll come across a research camera for the first time on Neptunes Bounty level. You can
use it to take photographs of your enemies, thus researching them and gaining certain
bonuses. The better the pictures are, the faster you get the bonuses. Here are the factors that
determine your score:

In plus: In minus:
+ Target is fighting (with you or with any
other object)
- Target is dead (you can also photograph
dead bodies)
+ Multiple targets (more than one target
on one shot)
- Target already photographed (if you
take multiple shots of a single enemy)

Apart from above, the quality of your photo depends on how centered is the target on it the
closer it is to the middle, the better.
Practice shows that it pays to take at least 3-4 photos of each enemy you fight, before even
engaging him in combat. This is the fastest way to get all the bonuses. Dont feel bad about
wasting photos they are cheap and for sale in most Circuses of Value. Its best to start
researching enemies as soon as you get the camera. Theres really no point to wait. Its good
to research Rosies as fast as possible, as they will grant you a bonus tonic: Photographers
Eye 2, which will increase the speed of your research.

Thuggish Splicer

Description:
These are the first enemies you encounter in the game. They
use melee weapons such as wrenches, pipes, crowbars etc.
The best way to deal with them is to electrocute them and
then hit them with a wrench.

Research bonuses:
1. Increased damage + (vulnerable to anti-personnel ammo)
2. Physical tonic: [SportBoost]
3. Increased damage ++
4. Physical tonic: [SportBoost 2]
5. Increased damage +++


Lead Splicer

Description:
Lead Splicers are the only human-like enemies in the game
who use firearms. In most cases they use pistols, but
sometimes upgrade to machine guns. Again, electro bolt +
wrench works fine for them.

Research bonuses:
2. Physical tonic: [Scrounger]
4. Combat tonic: [Static Discharge 2]

Nitro Splicer

Description:
Nitro Splicers use grenades in combat. They can create
smoke covers for themselves, which sometimes makes them
troublesome. Treat them like you treat other Splicers.

Research bonuses:
2. 15% chance that their grenade will be a dud
4. 15% chance that their grenade will be a dud


Spider Splicer

Description:
Spider Splicers are quick and deadly. They can walk
around the ceilings. Its good to use Incinerate against
them just target them once, fire, and watch them burn to
death.

Research bonuses:
1. Increased damage +
2. Spider Splicers hearts can be used as health packs.
4. Physical tonic: [Extra Nutrition III]

Houdini Splicer

Description:
Houdinis are the wizards of the lot; they use plasmids to
strike you. In most cases theyre not a real threat provided
you know how to handle them. Their constant teleportation
may be irritating, but they are easily dealt with by ice
attacks. Just freeze them so that they cant escape and
smash them to bits.

Research bonuses:
2. Physical tonic: [Natural Camouflage]
4. Its easier to tell where the Houdini is going to appear
after teleportation.


Security Camera

Description:
Cameras are not a real threat in BioShock. In fact, they can
be of great use to you, as long you have the patience to
hack them. In most cases its not a problem to destroy a
camera, but you shouldnt do so without thinking. Perhaps
its better to have the security on your side?

1. Increased damage + (vulnerable to anti-armor ammo and
electricity)
2. You find twice as much film in destroyed cameras
4. Decreased difficulty when hacking cameras

Security Bot

Description:
Security Bots come at you whenever you trigger a security
alarm in most cases that is caused by getting spotted by a
security camera. The research of Security Bots can be dealt
with quite fast, because there are more and more bots
attacking you during each alarm. After reaching the 4th
level of research you wont have to beat the hacking mini-
game when hacking a security bot you success will be
automatic.

Research bonuses:
electricity)
2. Engineering tonic: [Security Expert 2]
4. Automatic success when hacking a security bot


Turret

Description:
There are 3 types of turrets in the game. The most common
one is a machine gun turret. Rocket launchers and
flamethrowers are much, much rarer. Basically: its best to
hack turrets, not to destroy them. In order to do so, first
stun a chosen turret using electro bolt (or any other
electricity-based instrument). The best way of destroying
rocket turrets is to grab their missiles with Telekinesis and
throw them back.

Research bonuses:
electricity)
2. You find twice as much ammo in destroyed turrets.
4. Automatic success when hacking a turret

Big Daddy

Description
A detailed description of Big Daddies can be found in a
separate section of the guide. Here lets stick to research
bonuses.
HINT: Notice that Big Daddies respawn after being defeated.
You can use it to speed things up with your research.

Research bonuses Rosie:
1. Increased damage + (vulnerable to anti-armor ammo)
2. Combat tonic: [Photographers Eye II]
4. You always find rare U-Invent ingredients in dead Rosies.

Research bonuses Bouncer:
1. Increased damage + (vulnerable to anti-armor ammo)
2. Combat tonic: [Wrench Jockey II]


4. Wrench damage +50% (constant effect, not a tonic!)

Little Sister

Description
A detailed description of Little Sisters can be found in a
separate section of the guide. Here lets stick to research
bonuses.

Research bonuses:
1. Slight increase in maximum health and EVE levels.


Little Sisters and Big Daddies (SPOILERS!)

Little Sisters are genetically modified
girls who were trained to produce and
process ADAM. Their bodies were
induced by Sea Slugs which give them
virtual immortality. Despite even that,
they are quite defenseless against any
greedy Splicer. Thats why they need Big
Daddies to watch over them. These
powerful bodyguards live and breathe
only to ensure that Little Sisters are safe.

The girls are the only source of ADAM in the game. And what do we need ADAM for? Its a
currency that we use to buy genetic upgrades in machines called Gatherers Gardens. The
more ADAM we have, the easier the game gets: we can afford buying more health, more EVE,
more plasmids, tonics, more slots. Hence the dilemma: should we harvest Little Sisters for
Sea Slugs, killing them in the process (160 ADAM each), or rescue the girls for a lot less cash
(80 ADAM each)? The choice is yours, really but it determines the ending youll see in the
game. There are three possible endings:
- Good: you saved all the girls and in the end decide to rescue them from the underwater
city, give them a new life on the surface.
- Bad: you saved some girls, but also killed some of them; you decide to take over the city
and create your own army of Splicers to take over the world.
- Very Bad: you killed all the girls; the same as bad, the only difference is the narrators tone
of voice (a little more angry, so to say).

HINT: If you decide to rescue the girls,
each time you save three of them
Tenenbaum will send you a gift. It will
wait for you inside a teddy bear in the
nearest Gatherers Garden. Its the only
way to get some types of plasmids.
Additionally, theres 200 ADAM in each
reward.


Rosie

Bouncer

To get the ADAM one way or another
we have to dispose of the Big Daddy first.
Theres no real state-of-the-art way to do
this, at least not until late in the game.
Big Daddies are the toughest opponents
in the game. Generally: you should
always use anti-armor ammo and
electricity. At the beginning of the game
you may want to accumulate some
Electric Bucks for the shotgun especially
for Big Daddy fights.

The best weapon against Big Daddies is
the Chemical Thrower with Electric Gel
ammo. The ammo itself is difficult to
come by, but results are more than
satisfactory. A little more common way to
eliminate Big Daddies is to use classical
heavyweight arms, such as grenades,
proximity mines and other types of
explosive ammo. Also, forget about using
pistol (even with anti-armor ammo) and
wrench. Its just a waste of time.

There are two types of Big Daddies in the game: Bouncers and Rosies, each in two versions:
standard and elite. Altogether they use 5 different attacks: melee punching, throwing mines,
shooting their guns, stunning, and charging.



Achievement List

Notice that in order to get the Tonic Collector achievement you have to rescue at least 18
Little Sisters. When you save the girls you might not have enough ADAM to buy everything
you want (youd have to cut down on slots and plasmids, mostly). Due to this fact you might
not want to rise up to this challenge during your first playthrough. It limits your possibilities
and can bias your gameplay not necessarily the best thing in such a game as BioShock.
