Bioshock Hints
Destroy Ryan's mag-locks.
1 of 7: Just before you get this goal, a super-alarm will be triggered, and security bots will start swarming you. (If you're not standing still with the Natural Camouflage tonic in effect, that is.)
2 of 7: There's no point in fighting or hacking them, so just ignore them and run for the core area.
3 of 7: Or just stand and let them kill you, thereby teleporting you to the Vita-Chamber at the top of the core area and getting the bots off your back.
4 of 7: Either way, you need to leave the core and run back to Ryan's office door.
5 of 7: Watch out for splicers when you reach the office area. You can either Enrage them to fight among themselves, or lure them back to the flooded room and Electro-Bolt them. (Or ignore them while completing this goal.)
6 of 7: Once again, don't worry about dying -- if you do, just run back from the Vita-Chamber you appear in and keep going.
7 of 7: To complete this goal, go up to the fizzling circuit breaker device near the office door and use it again, then back off and wait a few seconds.
