Bioshock 2 Hints

Use the Override Key to End the Lockdown.

  • 1 of 10: Look around Grace's room to find two packs of cigarettes, a beer, and a shoebox to loot.
  • 2 of 10: You then need to decide whether or not to kill Grace.
  • 3 of 10: Exit Grace's apartment and move along the walkway until you find an open doorway on your right.
  • 4 of 10: Go through the room past it to find a big floor hole. Search the stove next to it, then drop through it to return to the third floor.
  • 5 of 10: Use the next floor hole you come across to get back to the second floor.
  • 6 of 10: Look around the apartment you drop into to see if you left anything before that you can use now, then exit to the second-floor walkway.
  • 7 of 10: Go down the stairs to begin a series of splicer combats that'll last all the way back to the diner area.
  • 8 of 10: After you kill the brute, search him to find an audio diary, then go through the doorway near the diner area's NW corner.
  • 9 of 10: Move on until you get back to the train station, then enter the booth on the station's east side.
  • 10 of 10: Use the booth's lockdown controls to end the lockdown.
