Bioshock Hints
How can I get back to the main lobby now?
1 of 9: Look along the tunnel for a door that was locked before but is open now.
2 of 9: There's one along the north side of the tunnel, near its center.
3 of 9: As you go through the door, a flaming big daddy (bouncer variety) will crash through a window on your right.
4 of 9: Move forward until you come to a door that triggers a cut-scene when it opens.
5 of 9: After the cut-scene is over, back the little sister into a corner and then decide what to do with her.
6 of 9: If you need help deciding, read through the ADAM and EVE Tips and/or check my recommendation below.
7 of 9: Search the containers in the room, then use the newly revealed Gatherer's Garden machine at the north end to spend your ADAM on new power-ups.
8 of 9: TIP: Be sure to get the Enrage plasmid, since it's very useful for the rest of the game. Enrage a splicer to get him to fight other splicers! (However, don't put it in an active slot yet -- you'll be able to soon, when you come across your first Gene Bank machine.)
9 of 9: After you access the Gatherer's Garden machine, whether you buy anything or not, the doors in the east wall will be unlocked, allowing you to return to the main lobby.
