Bioshock 2 Hints

Ground Floor Supply Tips

  • 1 of 9: Drop down to the ground floor from next to Block A, then look in the nearby open cell for rivets, bandages, and cola.
  • 2 of 9: In the northern east-side cell, crouch-walk through the wall hole to find a corpse, bandages, an audio diary, a remote hack dart, and two frag grenades. (Watch out for the jet of fire while getting those items. Use Telekinesis if you have to.)
  • 3 of 9: Check the southern east cell for a first aid kit, then go through the south doorway to return to the north quad area.
  • 4 of 9: Get the EVE hypo that's on a large metal beam, then hack the vending machine in the SE corner.
  • 5 of 9: Go through the "Solitary Confinement" doorway and down the stairs to reach a dark room with several small alcoves with hatches in them.
  • 6 of 9: Enter the two alcoves with open hatches and look through them to find a corpse under one of them. (Note that you'll have to crouch down while on top of the open hatch to reach the corpse.)
  • 7 of 9: Go down the stairs to the flooded area and heal up in the water, then look through the two open hatches to find the Elemental Vampire tonic under one of them.
  • 8 of 9: Take the tonic, then turn around and wait until the lights go out and come back on a couple of times. (Don't bother shooting or zapping the splicers you see yet.)
  • 9 of 9: Two houdinis will appear and attack as you leave the flooded area, so be ready to hit them with anti-personnel rounds, or lure them into the water for Electro Bolts.
