Bioshock Hints
Place the device on the Core.
1 of 12: Watch for some new splicers as you make your way out of the workshops area and return to the circular core area.
2 of 12: Once there, then head north and around to the west side, where the entrance to Geothermal Control is.
3 of 12: In the first room, look for a few supplies before going through either one of the doors labeled "To Hephaestus Core."
4 of 12: You'll find yourself in a room with two turrets in it, one in each back corner.
5 of 12: Quickly zap and hack the turret that's ahead of you, then turn and do the same to the other turret. You'll definitely want them both on your side.
6 of 12: Soon after you hack the turrets, Atlas should radio in the "Redirect the magma flow" goal.
7 of 12: After it's completed, look along the wall behind the valve wheel to find an open elevator tube.
8 of 12: Enter it and use its control button to descend to the lower floor.
9 of 12: After you go through two Securis doors, you'll find a dead body with the Shorten Alarms 2 engineering tonic next to it.
10 of 12: Past a third Securis door, you'll come to the large core lift.
11 of 12: Use its control to ascend to where you can click on a large interactive device to place the EMP bomb on it.
