Bioshock 2 Hints

What should I buy from this garden machine?

  • 1 of 6: The Keen Observer 2 tonic should be a top priority. With it and the original Keen Observer tonic spliced in, you'll be able to research houdini splicers and anything else much quicker.
  • 2 of 6: The Security Command 2 plasmid is a very good choice, too. Its charge-up mode can summon a security bot at any time. If you've got the Fountain of Youth tonic spliced in, you can stand in some water and summon two bots in a row without having to use any EVE hypos.
  • 3 of 6: If you haven't bought the Walking Inferno tonic yet, do so now and splice it in so houdinis will do you less damage with their flame attacks.
  • 4 of 6: Also, get every health upgrade and gene tonic slot the machine will sell you. You've got so many good tonics by now, it'll be hard choosing which ones to keep spliced in even once you get all the available slots.
  • 5 of 6: That's a lot to buy, so you may have to come back for some of it after getting ADAM from this region's three little sisters (and big sister).
  • 6 of 6: NOTE: After you get the above-mentioned tonics, there probably won't be any more tonics in future garden machines that you'll want to buy. If that's true (check the Tonic List), you can spend the rest of the ADAM you get in the game on plasmids, plasmid slots, and health and EVE upgrades.
