Bioshock Hints

Nitro Splicer Combat Tips

  • 1 of 6: Before you enter the crematorium entry area and cause him to blow open a door, you should first go around and deal with the main lobby's two health stations.
  • 2 of 6: Either hack them or whack them to keep the nitro splicer from using them. He can't use a destroyed health station, and trying to use a hacked health station will injure him.
  • 3 of 6: After that's set up, go get him to appear, then lead him along (carefully dodging his explosives) to where your turrets can shoot him.
  • 4 of 6: Or if your security bot is still with you, shoot the nitro splicer once, then let your bot continue the attack. It'll probably get blown up, but it'll be worth it to weaken or kill this splicer.
  • 5 of 6: Or you can repeat these three steps until he's dead:

    1) hit him with an Electro Bolt to paralyze him
    2) shoot him in the head with the pistol
    3) dodge his tossed explosive
  • 6 of 6: Another way is to wait until you get the Telekinesis plasmid a bit later on and use it to return his tossed explosives to him.
