Bioshock 2 Hints

Find the Keycode.

  • 1 of 6: You can find clues to the door's keycode as you explore the area for supplies, though you don't really need to.
  • 2 of 6: There's a better way to get to Sinclair than by opening the door with the keycode. Start by inserting $5 into the coin slot that's on the wall a bit south of the keycode-locked door. Also remember to save your game now, in case you lose Natural Camouflage due to a game glitch.
  • 3 of 6: Go into the bathroom and find the ice chunk that's blocking a crawlway access hole.
  • 4 of 6: Melt the ice with Incinerate!, then crouch-walk through the hole and move down the tunnel to a window.
  • 5 of 6: That window looks into Sinclair's room, so toss the Summon Eleanor plasmid through the window.
  • 6 of 6: TIP: Before you do that, shoot or dart-hack the deactivated bot you can see through the window so Sinclair can't use it.
