Bioshock Hints
Square Combat Tips
1 of 9: Approach the square by crouch-walking along the right side of the street.
2 of 9: You'll see two splicers by a fire next to a small building. There'll also be a splicer or two there that you can't see.
3 of 9: Fire a frag grenade at the leftmost of the two standing splicers, then get Enrage out.
4 of 9: Toss it at the splicers who survive your grenade to get them to fight each other. Hopefully, your hacked turret to the south will see them and join in.
5 of 9: Stay at your spot just east of the square while this is going on, ready to shoot or freeze any splicer who runs out after you.
6 of 9: When that's over, the splicer in the square's NW corner is probably the only one left.
7 of 9: Since you're going down the south street, past your hacked turret, you probably could just skip this splicer.
8 of 9: On the other hand, you can't access the Gatherer's Garden and other machines in the west alcove without the splicer seeing you.
9 of 9: So sneak up to a spot where you can freeze him, then apply a crossbow bolt to his head. (Or use Telekinesis to play catch with him if he turns out to be a nitro splicer.)
