Bioshock Hints

Obtain 7 Enzyme Samples.

  • 1 of 8: NOTE: You actually get this goal in the Arcadia region, and you'll be working on it concurrently with "Obtain 7 Distilled Water." These hints will tell you how to solve both goals.
  • 2 of 8: Search the corpse in the first room you come to in order to get your first enzyme sample. Also, pick up the "Bee Enzyme" audio diary for another enzyme goal update.
  • 3 of 8: After you go down a glass-wall tunnel and reach the market area, you'll need to deal with some local security devices.
  • 4 of 8: To find your first bottle of distilled water, look on the floor in the NW corner of the market area, near the door that leads to tunnels to other areas. (Also, pick up the "Water in Wine" audio diary.)
  • 5 of 8: Then go over to the large eastern section and find the cafe counter down on the ground.
  • 6 of 8: Go through the door on the right behind the counter to find a room with a splicer and a bottle of distilled water next to a crate on a table.
  • 7 of 8: Now you're through with the market area, and can move on to search the other two areas.
  • 8 of 8: As soon as you pick up the last item you need, you'll get the "Create the Lazarus Vector" goal.
