Bioshock Hints

Physical Tonic List

  • In the "first found" column, the abbreviation UI means you can make the tonic at U-Invent machines, starting in the game section listed. The abbreviation GGM works similarly, and refers to Gatherer's Garden machines. If a tonic is lying around, free for the taking, the "first found" column will list the game section name followed by the name of the goal you're working on when you find the tonic.
