Houdini Splicer Tips
1 of 6: Before you reach the big doorway where you encounter the splicer, there's a vending machine over to the left that sells napalm and liquid nitro ammo for the chemical thrower. Stock up if you need to.
2 of 6: As usual, the easiest way to kill a houdini is to freeze her and then shatter her, so get out Winter Blast or set the chemical thrower to use liquid nitro.
3 of 6: Or if you still have the security bot from the Tree Farm area, get Electro Bolt out and zap the houdini with it to get the bot after her.
4 of 6: In any case, approach the doorway with the flames near it slowly, since there's a major oil spill right in the doorway.
5 of 6: The houdini will appear and ignite the oil, hoping to burn you with it. Back off before she can succeed at that.
6 of 6: Wait in the corner near the vending machine for her to appear, then use either of the above plans for finishing her off.
