Bioshock 2 Hints

Daniel Wales Combat Tips

  • 1 of 7: If you have the Handyman tonic spliced in, repair your bots and both turrets.
  • 2 of 7: Set up several trap rivets in the short hallway that connects the two-turret room to the room you dropped into, then set a few more trap rivets to guard the turret room's north door.
  • 3 of 7: After quicksaving, use Telekinesis to pick up the explosive barrel that's near one of the turrets, then go through the north door, turn left, and immediately fling the barrel to (hopefully) hit Daniel. If you miss, quickrestore and try again.
  • 4 of 7: The barrel explosion will probably knock Daniel down, so quickly run up to him and start pounding him with anti-personnel rounds, shotgun blasts, or whatever. Retreat back to the turret room's doorway after he gets back up, and watch for a spider splicer to appear.
  • 5 of 7: There'll only be one spider splicer in this combat, so as soon as you research and kill him, retreat back to the room you dropped into and wait for the other splicers (and Daniel's hacked security bot) to come to you.
  • 6 of 7: Hopefully, most of them will be killed by your bots, turrets, and trap rivets. If they don't all come in after you, go out and lure them in.
  • 7 of 7: Daniel is especially bad about hiding outside (often down on the ground floor) instead of coming after you. If this happens, try to get his attention and lure him back to your turrets and trap rivets.
