Bioshock Hints

Go to Andrew Ryan's Office.

  • 1 of 13: Leave the bathysphere and go forward a bit to get this goal.
  • 2 of 13: Go on to the east and around either side of the circular tunnel area to reach a spot with a houdini splicer and a thuggish splicer.
  • 3 of 13: After they're dead, go down the corridor to the east to reach a room with a leadhead splicer and a turret.
  • 4 of 13: After that room is secured and looted, find the door in the south wall that leads to a larger room.
  • 5 of 13: There's a grenade launcher on the table in the middle of that room, but it's a trap.
  • 6 of 13: Dodge or destroy the security camera that's over the door at the south end of the room, then go through the door.
  • 7 of 13: You're now in the area with Ryan's office door, so go check it out.
  • 8 of 13: TIP: First, go search the southern side room to find the Frozen Field 2 combat tonic, a safe to hack, and more.
  • 9 of 13: Notice the fancy security gizmo in front of the office door.
  • 10 of 13: Use the circuit breaker device to get the "Investigate the area" goal.
  • 11 of 13: After you finish that goal, you'll get the "Search Heat Loss Monitoring" and "Overload the Core" goals.
  • 12 of 13: After you finish those goals and "Destroy Ryan's mag-locks," you can finally go through the door past the circuit breaker device.
  • 13 of 13: All you'll find is a bulkhead door that leads to Rapture Central Control, so you might as well go there.
