Splicer Combat Tips

  • 1 of 8: You could retreat to the back part of the bathroom and wait for them to come to you one or two at a time.
  • 2 of 8: However, it's better to stand somewhere so that you can see them as they drop down to your floor.
  • 3 of 8: Notice that they land in water when they drop down. How could you use that against them?
  • 4 of 8: Have your Electro Bolt plasmid handy to zap them with.
  • 5 of 8: When a group of them drops into the water one after the other, zap the first one to drop down, then wait for the others to drop down and get fried.
  • 6 of 8: It's easiest to zap them while standing next to the three storage crates that are just to the left of the pool of water they're going to drop into.
  • 7 of 8: Wait there and quickly zap the first one to drop down. That should also take care of the second one to drop down, plus the one who appears on the other side of your floor. (He should enter the water while running toward you.)
  • 8 of 8: When you zap the second group that drops down, be warned that the final splicer in that group may not get caught up in the effect of your second Electro Bolt, and you may have to zap her with a third one.
