Bioshock 2 Hints

Unlock the Hidden Elevator.

  • 1 of 6: Wait next to the console until the sample disposal controls become interactive.
  • 2 of 6: You can then either use them to destroy the "Alex the Great" freak that Gil Alexander mutated into, or you can leave without using the controls in order to spare him.
  • 3 of 6: Before you leave, you'll want to deal with the two little sisters in the area.
  • 4 of 6: Look around for any leftover supplies you now need, then head back west from the lab to the airlock.
  • 5 of 6: Cycle it and reenter the ocean, then look to the left to find the interactive airlock access panel on the gas-pump-like thing.
  • 6 of 6: Move up to it and insert the genetic key to reveal another airlock to the south.
