Bioshock 2 Hints

Buy the Incinerate! Plasmid at the Hall of the Future.

  • 1 of 11: Check the floor next to the wall vent for a first aid kit, then search the nearby locker and look on top of it for beer.
  • 2 of 11: Go back the way you came to return to the workshop, where you'll have to put down several splicers, including leadheads with tommy guns. (Anti-personnel rounds work great, as always.)
  • 3 of 11: Exit the workshop and get back on the track, then check for a few supplies as you move along to a spot where the track is blocked by rubble.
  • 4 of 11: Move over a minor rubble pile, then check a mattress on the right for .50 caliber rounds. Get out the hack tool and approach the next corner slowly.
  • 5 of 11: Peek around the corner and dart-hack the security camera, then hang back and let security bots take care of the splicer that's near it.
  • 6 of 11: Check for more supplies as you move down the track to a "RIDE MAINTENANCE" doorway on the left.
  • 7 of 11: Get the audio diary just past the maintenance doorway, then go down to where there's an interactive access panel near a door.
  • 8 of 11: Use the panel to open the door, then go down a scuzzy hallway to return to the walkway that's between the museum and the big Journey to the Surface entry room.
  • 9 of 11: Both of those areas have new splicers in them, so use your anti-personnel rounds and hacked bots to finish them off. After that, take another trip through the whole Journey to the Surface area to find newly opened maintenance areas.
  • 10 of 11: Go to the museum's upper floor and return to the Hall of the Future area.
  • 11 of 11: Use the hall's Gatherer's Garden machine to buy the Incinerate! plasmid and the health upgrade. (You could also buy the EVE Link tonic, but don't yet. There's another garden machine nearby with better choices.)
