Crematorium Tips

  • 1 of 12: The crematorium entrance is a very dangerous area due to the presence of a nitro splicer. He can throw explosives around, and he's got a lot of health. The trusty old routine of hitting him with an Electro Bolt followed by a head shot from the pistol or a wrench whack won't be enough by itself to kill him.
  • 2 of 12: After he's down, return to the crematorium entrance and find some electric buckshot on the planter outside the door.
  • 3 of 12: Go through the door and search the office for coffee and a cash register, then go through the next door to reach the main crematorium area.
  • 4 of 12: Ignore the stairs on the right for now and go down some steps to the lower floor on the left.
  • 5 of 12: As you move forward, look ahead and to the right for a security camera sweeping the area.
  • 6 of 12: Check for items to the right of the security camera, then look for a nearby body on a crematory slab.
  • 7 of 12: When you're done with that, go up the stairs that are to the left of the security camera.
  • 8 of 12: At the top of the stairs, kill the leadhead splicer with an Electro Bolt and pistol head shot, then search around for a new plasmid power-up.
  • 9 of 12: It's in the small office that's in the SW corner of this floor.
  • 10 of 12: Next to a fallen-over Gatherer's Garden machine is the Incinerate plasmid power-up.
  • 11 of 12: Right after you take it and assign it a slot, three splicers will appear outside the office.
  • 12 of 12: After you loot the office and the dead splicers, you're done with the crematorium for now. See below for some final supply tips.
