Bioshock 2 Hints

Holding Area Supplies

  • 1 of 10: Look to the right of where you got the ADAM plant for two EVE hypos stuck into the red operating table. There's another one stuck in the nearby corpse.
  • 2 of 10: Go south from the raised platform to find two storage crates, then check the area NW of them for a health station, a storage crate, rivets and trap rivets, and a box of buck.
  • 3 of 10: While standing near the storage crate, look to the right to see two heat-seeking rockets and a box of .50 caliber rounds on a ledge that you can pull in with Telekinesis.
  • 4 of 10: Go back east to the door that leads to the entry area, then look in the alcove to the north for trap rivets in a sink.
  • 5 of 10: Cross the raised platform to reach the north side of the holding cell area, then turn left and go down some stairs to find a vending machine with a storage crate behind it and some drill fuel on a ledge to the left of it.
  • 6 of 10: Go back up the stairs and toward the wall vent that's ahead. Before you get the audio diary that's next to it, turn right and quickly hack the security camera. (Try to hit all the blue zones you can. This camera can be handy for weakening big daddies.)
  • 7 of 10: Look near the camera for a storage crate and some rivets, then look on the dirt to the left of the wall vent for a pack of rocket spears.
  • 8 of 10: Look through the broken window near the camera to see a door control that you can hack with your hack tool.
  • 9 of 10: After you do so, return to the entry area and help your rocket turret put down any nearby hostiles, then go through the now-open door that's near the turret.
  • 10 of 10: Use the "Power to the People" weapon upgrade machine, then look around for a storage crate, an auto-hack dart, anti-personnel rounds, solid slugs, a mini-turret, an audio diary, and an EVE hypo.
