Bioshock 2 Hints

Enter Pumping Station #5.

  • 1 of 6: As you loot all the dead spider splicers, have the camera out so you can use it on any of them that glow gold (meaning they got killed without you researching them).
  • 2 of 6: Go through the door past the keypad-opened one to enter Plaza Hedone. It's another big plaza area that's full of combat and optionals.
  • 3 of 6: After you finish exploring the plaza, liberate and utilize the last two little sisters in the region.
  • 4 of 6: When you're ready to move on, go through the door that's under the security camera in the south part of Plaza Hedone.
  • 5 of 6: Make your way east, killing splicers and looting supplies, until you reach the door near Sophia Lamb's office that leads to pumping station #5.
  • 6 of 6: You'll want to prepare before going close enough to the pumping station's entry door to get the "Defeat Simon Wales" goal.
