Game Info
BioShock is a first-person shooter video game developed by 2K Games for the Xbox 360 gaming console and for PC. In it, players assume the role as the lone survivor who stumbles upon the entrance to Rapture, a failed underwater utopia that was originally built to house the world’s greatest minds and allow them to pursue their goals without any interference.Unfortunately, the introduction of gene altering substances known as plasmids combined with an amassing rebellion against Rapture’s militant founder, Andrew Ryan, results in massive chaos. War eventually rips the entire city apart and the citizens who remain are no less than monsters wandering the streets searching for Adam, a type of enhancement drug that grants the user almost limitless power, but at the cost of their humanity.

Proving Grounds

First some general notes about this area. This is basically a big escort mission with you protecting the Little Sisters from various dangers as they lead you through the museum. If your Little Sister dies, Tenenbaum will tell you to go to the last Little Sister vent you passed. Once there you must bang on the vent with your wrench to make another emerge.
- Follow the Little Sister. She will lead you through a wooden door into an area overlooking a courtyard below. Ignore the Big Daddy fight below and follow her left through another door.
- You will be in a dark hallway that snakes around. Follow the Little Sister. Kill all the splicers that attack and prevent them from hitting your escort. You will eventually reach a yellow sign that says Test Subject. Above it is a security camera. Zap this with the Electro Shock and then jump to hack it. The Little Sister will begin extracting Adam from the corpose in front of the sign. This will draw splicers to your location. Protect her as enemies run at you from both hallways. If you hacked the camera, some sentry drones will show up to help you. When she's done, follow her onward.
- When you reach the end of the hall (there will with the shark mouth ahead of you), a sentry drone will fly out. Zap this to hack it and you will have an escort buddy. Follow the Little Sister to the left and you will be in a new hall. You will see and hear a security camera on your left. Run forward and hack this. Further on down the hallway there will be a flamethrower turret. Hack this too. Walk back to the camera. Opposite the security camera will be the Test Subject 2 (indicated by a yellow sign). The Little Sister will again start extracting Adam from the corpse. Kill the splicers that come from the left and right. The flamethrower turret up ahead will help you somewhat with enemies coming from that direction.
- When she's done, follow her and turn right at the flamethrower turret. As you round the corner you will see a machine gun sentry at the far end of the hall. Run forward and destroy this. The Sister will open up a new door for you.
- You will emerge into the courtyard area you saw earlier from above. Slightly ahead on the second floor you will see a Big Daddy. Ignore him and proceed along the right side of the giant skeleton at the room's center. There will me a machine gun sentry coming up on your right side. Hurry forward and take it out. The sister will lead you to the end of the skeleton, then turn left. When you turn, quickly hurry forward ahead of her. See the Gene Bank up ahead on your right? There is an RPG turret ahead that is sort of diagonal from the Gene Bank. It won't be readily visible until you pass the display case on your left. Pop out and destroy it. Follow the sister through the door.
- Watch for the security camera immediatly to your left as you walk through the door. Proceed to the right and you will see a hallway submerged in water. Walk a little bit ahead of the Little Sister and equip the Electro plasmid. Some splicers will pop up out of the water. Shock the water to kill them all. Keep walking forward through the water and look out for the security drone that may fly at you from the other side of the room. This room is shaped like a U, so follow the sister all the way around until you get to the other side. Eventually you will see a large fish in the display case in front of you. Go up the stairs and turn right. There will probably be at least two splicers in this area. You will see a sign up ahead that says Test Subject 3.
- Quickly run forward and hack the machine gun sentry on the left, directly opposite the Test Subject 3 sign. If you look to the right of the sentry you will see a security camera in the next hall over. Run past the sentry and hack this as well. If for some reason you mess up and the alarm activates, the bot deacivation panel is in the same hallway as the camera. You might also want to hack the Health Station immediately to the sentry's right.
- Return to the Test Subject 3 sign and the Little Sister will start drawing Adam again. You should be pretty well covered from splicers coming at you from the next hallway over if you hacked everything. Pay closer attention to those coming from your left or right.
- When she is done, follow her down the hall, turning left in front of the large stuffed bear. Continue down the hall (it will be the same one with the security camera in it from before). When you turn right at the end of the hall, a Big Daddy will bust through the wall ahead. Try to keep between him and the Little Sister as you take him down. Follow the sister ahead through the door.
- You will once again be overlooking the courtyard you were in previously with the giant skeleton. You're home free. Just follow the Little Sister into the next door on the right.
- You will notice the copious amounts of vending machines and other familiar power-up stations in this room. Follow the Little Sister around the wall ahead. The sister will jump into one of the vents. When Tenenbaum prompts you, take the syringe from the Little Sister. Now go explore the room to buy/collect items and upgrade your plasmids. This will be your last chance before facing Fontaine. Walk into the elevator when you are ready.
Final Boss - Fontaine
- YouTube: Bioshock - Fontaine Fight on Hard (Time: 1:39)
- Walk out of the elevator. Fontaine will be strapped inside a machine directly ahead of you. An indicator will pop up that shows four red bottles. This is Fontaine's Adam level. Tenenbaum will tell you to hit Fontaine with the needle the Little Sister gave you. Run up the machine's stairs and press the use button when you reach Fontaine. This will take away one of his Adam bottles. Fontaine will writhe in pain before breaking loose from the machine and knocking you across the room. Now it's time to fight.
- NOTE: There is a Gene Bank and Health Station in this room. Both are at opposite sides. To find the Gene Bank, from the elevator, run right and then turn left when you see the Little Sister vents. Do the reverse to find the health station.
- Fontaine will first attack you with fire. He will shoot a fireball and then charge you. If his charge connects, it will send you flying a few feet back. He can also punch you if you get too close. The tommy gun with anti-personnel bullets works best against him. Just side-step his attacks and keep firing. Once you've exhausted his health meter Fontaine will teleport back into the machine where you found him. Run up to him and stick him with the needle. He will now have two Adam bars left. Fontaine will knock you back again for another round.
- NOTE: If you start to run out of anti-personnel rounds, check the Little Sister vents to the left and right of the central area. Sometimes the Sisters will throw ammo out for you. It will appear gold.
- TIP: If you want to save your ammo or just be stylish, head to the area in the back of the room, behind the machine. There will be a slightly lowered area that is filled with water. If you lure Fontaine into the water, you can use the Electro Bolt to shock him. You can keep doing this over and over again to really drain his health.
- This time Fontaine will shoot ice, again followed by a charge. A security alarm will also trigger. This causes sentry drones to fly out and start attacking you. Zap them out of the sky and use the same strategy you employed before on Fontaine. When he teleports back to the machine, run up and use the needle again. He will only have one Adam bar left..
- TIP: A humorous way to deal Fontaine some damage is to use the Security Bullseye plasmid on him. Watch as the sentry bots turn on him.
- Fontaine's final attack is to shoot a black ball of electricity at you, again followed by a charge. Several splicers will emerge to join him in attacking you. Try to concentrate you fire on Fontaine and only kill those splicers dealing you damage. If you are feeling overwhelmed you can use the environment to your advantage by igniting the oil slicks around the stage or throwing barrels with Telekinesis.
- TIP: Yet another fun strategy is to use the Enrage plasmid on the splicers. Not only will they attack Fontaine but they will also eliminate each other.
- Once Fontaine's health bar is exhausted, he'll teleport back to the machine for a final time. Run up and stick him with the needle. Watch the end cut-scene. Congratulations on beating BioShock!.
