Bioshock Hints

How exactly can I get these first two solutions?

  • 1 of 13: The first hazard is a couple of splicers just past the door at the other end of the tunnel that connects Langford's office with the outer labs area.
  • 2 of 13: Photograph them before they see you, then hit the one on the left with Incinerate since he's standing in an oil spill.
  • 3 of 13: Finish the other one off with Electro Bolt and a bullet to the head.
  • 4 of 13: The next hazards are a turret and security camera that are just a bit past the splicers. Remember that lab security is going to be hostile to you now.
  • 5 of 13: Go forward (west) from the oil spill and look for the turret on your left, past the steps.
  • 6 of 13: Quickly zap and hack it, then run back and hide if the camera saw you. When it's safe, sneak up on the camera and hack it.
  • 7 of 13: Now for the houdini splicer. Go down the steps past the oil spill and forward until you see a big red shimmer appear in front of you.
  • 8 of 13: Quickly retreat back up the steps and into the nearest corner, ready with either the Winter Blast plasmid or the chemical thrower loaded with liquid nitro.
  • 9 of 13: As soon as the houdini appears, freeze him, then switch to the shotgun and blast him. (Or bash him quickly with the wrench to save ammo.)
  • 10 of 13: Even though you don't get a lootable corpse when you freeze and shatter victims, you'll still get a cholorphyll solution from this houdini.
  • 11 of 13: For your next turret, go a bit west from the one you hacked already to find some steps leading into the room to the south.
  • 12 of 13: Quickly zap that turret while on the steps, then run over and hack it.
  • 13 of 13: You now have a clear path to the outer office, where you'll find a chlorophyll solution setting on top of one of the file cabinets.
