Bioshock 2 Hints

Find Tenenbaum.

  • 1 of 10: Fixing the generator opened the door that's along the south side of the baths area, so go through it.
  • 2 of 10: Move forward and watch a big daddy fix a leak from the other side of a window, then turn left and go through a door to find two splicers in a large pool of water.
  • 3 of 10: Cross the pool room and enter the hallway east of it, then go up to the door that's blocked from closing by a rivet gun.
  • 4 of 10: Take the rivet gun, then use Electro Bolt and it (or your drill) to kill the two splicers in the room past the door. If you get injured, don't bother healing up yet. You'll see why soon.
  • 5 of 10: Go through the east door in their room to have your first encounter with a big sister.
  • 6 of 10: After the big sister runs off, go supply hunting in all the areas you've been through recently.
  • 7 of 10: Return to the big sister's room and go through its northern doorway, then move ahead to the next room.
  • 8 of 10: Look for a first aid kit and an ashtray near the room's NW corner, then move on to enter a large room with big windows on its other side.
  • 9 of 10: Drop down to the room's main floor and wait for the windows to break and flood the room. After they do, find your way to an airlock.
  • 10 of 10: Inside the airlock, use the big control to cycle the airlock and get moved on to The Atlantic Express.
