Bioshock Hints
Go to the submarine.
1 of 13: You'll be locked into the control room at first, unable to help Atlas.
2 of 13: Wait by the control room's north door until it opens.
3 of 13: Go through the door and turn left, watching for a spider splicer to drop down a ways in front of you.
4 of 13: The best way to destroy her is to use Telekinesis to pick up the red gas cylinder that's near her and then hurl it at her.
5 of 13: After that, equip Incinerate and move to where you can see an oil spill down on the walkway ahead.
6 of 13: Wait until a splicer comes into view down there, then ignite the oil slick with Incinerate. (Another way to ignite the oil is to use Telekinesis to throw the other nearby red cylinder at it.)
7 of 13: Retreat and wait a bit while some splicers burn, then re-equip Telekinesis.
8 of 13: After the oil fire dies out, run down the walkway to where it turns east.
9 of 13: As you move east, another spider splicer will drop down ahead of you.
10 of 13: Use Telekinesis to grab one of the red gas cylinders that's up ahead on the right, then blast the spider splicer with it. Hopefully, you won't take any damage from the explosion.
11 of 13: Move down the stairs and bash the padlock that's on the gate to the right. This will give you access to the red gas cylinder past the gate as well as the one that's to the left of the gate.
12 of 13: Go on east toward the submarine until you see a spider splicer drop down near the sub, then start moving backwards.
