Bioshock 2 Hints

Gallery Tips

  • 1 of 9: Deactivate your bots outside the gallery, then go through the gallery door, turn left, and shoot out the security camera.
  • 2 of 9: Run down next to the big daddy and maneuver the houdini splicer that's in the room into accidentally hitting him. Do your best to keep the big daddy between yourself and the houdini so he'll get as damaged as possible before killing the houdini.
  • 3 of 9: After that's done, reactivate your bots and get ready to kill the big daddy. I suggest the Freezing Drill method again, but you can use prox mines, trap spears, or whatever.
  • 4 of 9: Search the ADAM corpse that's on the main floor, then look near the ammo vending machine to the north for a first aid kit and frag grenade.
  • 5 of 9: Go up the stairs that lead to the higher southern floor, then look for drill fuel, two filing cabinets, and a health station to hack.
  • 6 of 9: Search the back area to find an EVE hypo, the Drill Specialist tonic, an audio diary, and three more canisters of drill fuel.
  • 7 of 9: NOTE: Three leadhead splicers will periodically spawn in the back area. Try to get done here quickly so you don't have to put up with that too often.
  • 8 of 9: Go back down to the main floor and start a gather on the ADAM corpse. Stand in the doorway SW of the corpse while shooting splicers. (Note that some will come down the stairs behind you, so you'll probably want to deploy a mini-turret and some trap rivets to guard the stairs right before you start the gather.)
  • 9 of 9: When the gather is over, pick up the little sister and leave the gallery.
