Bioshock 2 Hints

Shower Area

  • 1 of 7: Go down the stairs at the north end of the lab's lower floor to find the door that leads to the shower area.
  • 2 of 7: When the door opens, you'll see two splicers ahead messing with hypnotic plants (if you visit this area before the live test chamber). If you immediately back up and let the door close, you can wait while the splicers fight each other, then go in and easily kill off the survivor.
  • 3 of 7: Go in to where you can see a security camera to the north, then dart-hack it. (Or sneak up under it so you can hack it without using a dart.)
  • 4 of 7: Look around for supplies before going down the stairs near the camera.
  • 5 of 7: Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs and hack or bash the health station, then enter the purification chamber.
  • 6 of 7: The ADAM plant is in the chamber's NE corner. Quicksave before you take it, since an alpha series and some other splicers will attack soon after you try to exit the room.
  • 7 of 7: After it's over, repair your bots and heal up in the chamber's waterfall, then head back the way you came to leave.
