Bioshock 2 Hints

Plaza Hedone Tips

  • 1 of 14: The first thing to note is that your security bots may have trouble following you into the plaza. If so, you can try deactivating them and "pushing" them through the doorway that they get stuck against. If that doesn't work, leave them deactivated -- you'll be able to get more soon.
  • 2 of 14: When you enter the plaza, look over to the right to see a pack of rivets near a door that a big daddy is about to blast open. It's a good idea to use Telekinesis to pull in the rivets before they get knocked off to who-knows-where.
  • 3 of 14: Nearby are some stairs that lead down to the ground floor. Before going down, look for a speargun, a first aid kit, a corpse pinned to the wall, and a few other loose spears.
  • 4 of 14: At the bottom of the stairs, look for a trash can and an ammo vending machine. Across from the vending machine are a corpse and a first aid kit.
  • 5 of 14: Go down the street to its other end, then turn left to see a few splicers hanging around. The big daddy you saw earlier will also be there, or well on his way.
  • 6 of 14: Dart-hack the security camera that's mounted over the brute splicer's door, then look around the area for a trash can, a corpse, and the entrance to the Little Sisters' Orphanage.
  • 7 of 14: Before you enter the orphanage, look on the board walkway to the west of it for an audio diary and a box of buck on a pile of junk near a Gatherer's Garden machine and a vending machine. There's a bot shutdown panel nearby, so leave the vending machine unhacked.
  • 8 of 14: Use it now to get two new bot followers if you had to leave your other ones behind, then explore the orphanage.
  • 9 of 14: Look around for newly spawned splicers when you reenter the plaza. As with Little Eden Plaza, both brute and spider splicers will occasionally appear in addition to the usual leadheads. Stay well-stocked in anti-personnel rounds and keep two fully-repaired security bots with you at all times.
  • 10 of 14: A bit west of the Gatherer's Garden machine, look for a trash can, an EVE hypo next to an overturned bathtub, and the door to a small grocery store.
  • 11 of 14: Go to the back of the store and kill the splicer who's banging on a locked door, then look around for three money clips, a cash register, an ashtray, two food items, and a first aid kit.
  • 12 of 14: Use the conspicuous switch that's on the counter near the cash register, then go through the now-open back door and explore the secret lab area.
  • 13 of 14: After leaving the grocery store, go west to where two money clips mark the start of a side area.
  • 14 of 14: Go up the stairs that are next to the side area's entrance and explore the upper levels.
