Donations
===============================================================================
After a few generous emails and suggestions from readers and because donations
seems to be a growing trend among other contemporary guide writers, I have
decided to put in the option to allow you to donate some money to me for
helping you out if you wish to do so.
Although I make these guides for free in my spare time, I probably don’t
need to point out to gamers that purchasing games is an extremely expensive
hobby (games in Australia cost on average $90 - $120) and writing guides for
them can be a very long, incredibly difficult and thankless task at the best
of times, but one that is very challenging and occasionally rewarding.
Considering you could be paying upwards of $20+ for guides in a game shop,these
free and easily available guides make a cost-effective substitute. Whilst most
are happy to use and move on without a word I would move that a simple donation
is a great, easy way to say thanks if you feel that my guide has saved you some
time, money and frustration in some small way.
By no means feel obligated to donate just for viewing my guide, but if you are
feeling a little generous I certainly won’t object! Any amount is appreciated
whether it be 10 cents or $10.
Thankyou for all that read this far, if you are interested in donating, my
Paypal address is listed below, if not, skip down to the table of contents
below and get stuck into the lofty world of Columbia in Bioshock Infinite!

Before beginning the campaign, here are a few tips and tricks that may help
to adjust to the game and get through a few sticky situations with ease!
__________
/ Combat \_________________________________________________________________
\__________/ \
> Like most shooters, soon after the start you will be given a shield that
can be monitored by the golden status bar directly above the red health
meter. It will recharge when you are not taking damage. Always wait for
your shield to recharge before rushing into combat!
> Sky-lines are a great addition to the game and can make taking one enemy
combatants a much easier as they will have a tougher time shooting at you
as a moving target.
> If there is a group of enemies attacking you and no cover about, hop onto
a sky-line to quickly exit the danger area to allow your shields time to
regenerate.
> When facing large numbers of enemies with both standard soldiers and more
advanced enemy types (e.g Handymen, Motorized Patriots), try to focus
your fire on the smaller, less shielded enemies first. The bigger, badder
enemies are a lot less tough when you don't have 3-4 other enemies
shooting at you!
> Experiment with weapons and vigors as they become available.Unfortunately
you will never have enough money to upgrade everything, so be sure to try
each one out and upgrade those you feel most comfortable with.
> Use environmental damage to your advantage! There are plenty of oil
slicks that can be ignited by the Devil's Kiss vigor, puddles that can
be electrofied with Shock Jockey and plenty of fireworks containers to
shoot in other places.
> Having trouble killing something? Check out the Enemies & Enemy Tactics
Guide to read up on what you are likely to encounter in-game! Follow this
shortcut: [ENMYS].
__________
/Vigor Tips\_________________________________________________________________
\__________/ \
> Its easy to get carried away with shooting, so a reminder - don't forget
to use your vigors!
> Vigors are meant to be used together. Try different combinations for
various new effects.
> Vigor traps are extremely effective at dealing damage. Planting traps and
luring enemies into them is a great way to thin out the crowd.
> Using vigors such as Bucking Bronco, Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey
can stun enemies as well as increase damage dealt by your weapons whilst
they are under the influence of the vigor's effects.
> Want to know the basics of each vigor, what their upgrades are and how
to use the combination attacks? Check out the Vigors, Vigor Upgrades &
Vigor Tactics Guide. Just follow this shortcut: [V1GRS].
__________
/Elizabeth \_________________________________________________________________
\__________/ \
> Keep relatively close to Elizabeth in combat. Whilst She will take care
of herself during combat, she will also forage items from the environment
including ammo, salts and health kits and throw them to you.
> Ensure that once Elizabeth gets the ability, you use the tears in the
environment to your advantage. Use cover, turrets and ammo/health/salt
crates when and if required.
> Note that you can only have one active tear at a time, so be sure to
switch the active one up during fights as necessary.
> Elizabeth will revive you if you fall during combat.
> Always ensure that you keep an eye out for lock picks. Using these
Elizabeth is able to open a good number of doors, most of which contain
collectibles, equippable gear or other goodies.
__________
/Misc Tips \_________________________________________________________________
\__________/ \
> Explore everywhere! There is tonnes to see and do in Columbia and the
world is so finely crafted and detailed that everywhere you go is a
treat. Heck! You might even find a secret stash of goodies or two.
> Loot, loot , loot! There are plenty of trash cans, cash registers and all
other manner of lootable items to be found. The more you loot, the more
money you have. The more money you have, the more upgrades you can
purchase. The more upgrades you can purchase, the more... Well you get
the point.
> Although equippable gear gives you passive bonuses that can give you a
slight edge in gameplay, it is important to try and equip gear to suit
your play style to garner maxiumum advantage from it.

This walkthrough will provide players with the fastest route through each
chapter from beginning to the end. By following this guide you will be
introduced to new types of enemies and special abilities as we bump into them
and it will also enable you to collect all of the hidden voxophones, Infusion
Upgrades, kinetoscopes, telescopes and pieces of equippable gear that have been
liberally scattered across the Columbia.
There is a lot of looting to be done in Columbia and most of it is self
explanatory. The guide only incorporates the most important of lootable items
in particular I have listed as many lock pick pickups as possible as there are
many locks to be picked and on my first run through I never seemed to have
enough!
Throughout the guide, I have also listed the upgrades available for purchase
from the Veni! Vidi! Vigor! and Minuteman's Armory as they become available.
Once these are available, they will remain in all future machines of the same
variety until you purchase them.
So without further ado, lets get started!
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Prologue: Lighthouse [ACT00]
===============================================================================
Collectibles: | ]
-------------- ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lighthouse <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Voxophones............0 ]
Kinetoscopes..........0 ] We’ll begin the game in the back of a boat being
Telescopes............0 ] rowed to a lighthouse in the centre of the ocean
Infusion Upgrades.....0 ] (familiar right Bioshock fans?). Once you arrive,
Gear .................0 ] use the interact button to climb the ladder to the
________________________] left. Enter the small shack here and look on the
floor to find a couple of silver eagles (the
game’s currency), then it is time to exit and make for the lighthouse.
At the end of the dock, climb the stairs until you reach the door. You can
follow the platform around to the left if you want some more money and a barrel
to open. When ready, interact with the door at the top of the stairs.
Upon entering, you can interact with the basin in front if you like and check
the back of the room for some more money and a lootable barrel if you wish.
Climb the stairs. On this floor are a cabinet to loot and a wallet under the
bed containing a bigger sum of money. Head up the next flight of stairs. Here
you’ll find a couple of coins on the bench next to the corpse and a barrel to
loot near the next set of stairs.
Climbing the next set of stairs will take you to the very top of the
lighthouse. We need to interact with the door here (although there is one final
lootable barrel if you continue all the way to the right). Once you have
interacted with the door, booker will pull out a card. You need to ring the
corresponding bells in the order given.
After a few moments, the door will open. Run over and interact with the chair
to complete the prologue. Enjoy the view, its great!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: At this point, you will unlock the achievement/trophy ‘Written in the
Clouds’.

ACT 1: Comstock Centre
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Chapter 01: Welcome Centre [ACT01]
===============================================================================
Collectibles: | ]
-------------- ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Welcome Centre <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Voxophones............4 ]
Kinetoscopes..........3 ] After exiting the pod, you will be free to move
Telescopes............1 ] about. Grab the coins on the bench here if you
Infusion Upgrades.....0 ] like before heading down the stairs to the left.
Gear .................0 ] Around the statue here are three other doors. Go
________________________] through the door to the left first (it’s the room
with flowers all over the floor). At the far end
of the room, look in the alcove to the right. Here
you will find your first VOXOPHONE ‘Love the Sinner’ (Voxophone 1/4). Loot the
rest of the room to find some coins scattered around the altar and a gift box
and some more coins in the alcove on the right.
Return to the statue. You can check out the room on the right as well if you
want a few more coins to find but when you are ready, go through the door
opposite the stairs we came from. Follow the spiral staircase all of the way
down. At the bottom, proceed to the far end of the room.
Let the priest continue his sermon if you wish (although it does go on for a
little while), when you are ready to proceed walk up to the people in front
and hit the interact button to enter the circle. When the priest holds out his
hand to you, move forward and interact with it for a scene.
DeWitt will have a short flashback type sequence and you’ll find yourself in
another area. Simply walk up to the door at the far end of the room and open
it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Garden of New Eden <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When you are back in Columbia, climb the stairs in front and grab the apples
for some health and coins from the nearby bench at the top. Note that just
about everyone in this area has something to say if you want to hear it, so be
sure to hear them all out if you like that kind of thing. Follow the set path
around to the left and enter the door at the end.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> New Eden Square <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you enter, the floating city segment in front will join onto the one you
are on, allowing you to cross over. Do so when you are able. As you progress
through the next area, look out for trash cans to loot and food and coins
stashed around the place as there is quite a bit to be found.
When you reach the giant statue of the prophet, look to the right. Wait for
the floating shop named “Hudson’s” to dock. When it does cross over and head
inside. Walk up and check out the first KINETOSCOPE ‘Father Comstock’s Gift of
Prophecy’ (Kinetoscope 1/3) on the left side of the counter. Behind the counter
you’ll also find another VOXOPHONE ‘Undeserving’ (Voxophone 2/4).
Exit the store and continue down the street on the opposite side of the prophet
statue. Wait at the police roadblock until the parade floats pass and then
continue across the bridge when it lowers. At the far end, climb the stairs
and you’ll see another section of the city dock to the left. Before heading
over there, go over to the grocery store on the right. Look against the wall
to the left of the entrance to find a KINETOSCOPE ‘Beware the False Shepherd!’
(Kinetoscope 2/3), you can go inside for a couple of lootable boxes and some
coins if you are keen.
When ready, continue over to the next platform that has docked. Climb the
stairs and follow the road to the end. On a table in the garden here is another
VOXOPHONE ‘Everyman, All at Once’ (Voxophone 3/4). Return back to the previous
platform with the grocery store and continue along the path to the left. Note
the quartet singing a Beach Boys song in 1912 – awesome! Climb the stairs to
the right at the end and enter the gateway flanked by angel statues for a quick
scene.
After receiving the telegram, turn left and find a TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1)
here, note you will need to interact with it for it to count as a collectible.
Once you have that, continue back past the entrance door and up the stairs in
the distance to find the entrance to the fair. At the top of the stairs and
before going in the gate check out the KINETOSCOPE ‘The Envy of all his peers’
(Kinetoscope 3/3) on the wall to the right.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Fairgrounds <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The fairgrounds are quite large and surprisingly detailed and before continuing
onwards, there are a number of mini-games that you can do in the fairground
that bear no real importance on the game, but acts as a brief tutorial of sorts
for the shooting and vigor attacks. In addition to introducing a few controls,
you can earn you a little extra money from them by beating the high scores if
you feel the need.
The carnival mini-games are located in the following places:
1. Cast Out the Devil –---------> You’ll see this one as soon as you enter
the fairgrounds. You’ll be given a
Devil’s Kiss vigor (something to look
forward to later) and you’ll need to
shoot the devil with it whilst avoiding
the woman in the foreground.
2. Bring Down the Sky-line Vox –> This mini-game is located to the right of
the entrance and has you shooting down
targets moving along the rails at the
back of the booth using a shotgun.
Hitting 20, 10 or 5 targets will reward
you with prizes.
3. Hunt Down the Vox –----------> This mini-game is located to the left of
the entrance and has you shooting down
pop up targets using an air rifle.
Hitting 20, 10 or 5 targets will reward
you with prizes. Note that hitting the
bonus target will award you with a couple
of points.
These are completely optional however and to progress with the game, you can
pass through the fairgrounds by following the road to the left and speaking
with the lady standing in front of the ‘Free Sample’ sign under the tent to
the left of the locked gate for a scene. Afterwards you will have your first
Vigor – Possession.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Possession \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| As with all of the vigors in Bioshock Infinite, possession has two |
| functions. Simply hitting the vigor button will possess a targeted |
| machine although it should be noted that this can be upgraded to |
| possess living enemies as well at a Veni! Vedi! Vigor! vending machine|
| following a little story progression. |
| |
| Holding the button down and releasing will create a possession trap |
| andany enemy that wanders into it will be possessed. Useful stuff!Note|
| that if your possessed enemy is the last enemy remaining, he will turn|
| his weapon on himself and save you the hassle of killing him too. |
| |
| When you acquire them, Possession can be used in conjunction with |
| Devil's Kiss and Shock Jockey to perform combination attacks. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Vigor: Possession \
\_____________________________/
Note that vigors use up salts signified by the blue bar in the bottom left of
the screen. To refill these, you will need to use a salt machine – there is one
just on your left, or by picking up blue vials in the environment – there are
several on the table in the possession tent.
Use possession on the robot gatekeeper next to the possession tent and he will
open the gate for you. Grab some salts to refill your supply and then continue
through the now open gate. Approach the two strangers blocking your path for a
scene. Hit the interact button when prompted during the scene and they will
walk off.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Path of the Scroll <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Walk forward and you’ll see a Dollar Bill vending machine in front. These
machines can be used to purchase weapon ammo, health and salt. Turn to the
right and follow the path down the stairs and around the corner to the left.
As you round the corner and continue along the road, you will be prompted to
hit the interaction button to look at a statue that is morphing. Look at the
base of this statue to find the final VOXOPHONE ‘For I am Lonely Too’
(Voxophone 4/4) for this chapter.
Continue up the road and through the large archway in front for another scene.
Continue into the next area.

Chapter 02: Raffle Square [ACT02]
===============================================================================
Collectibles: | ]
-------------- ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Raffle Park <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Voxophones............1 ]
Kinetoscopes..........0 ] Climb the stairs to the left and continue to
Telescopes............0 ] follow the next few sets of stairs up, past the
Infusion Upgrades.....0 ] fountain and through the gate to find a large
Gear .................0 ] gathering of people singing. As you approach, the
________________________] singing will stop and a woman facing the crowd at
the foot of the stage will call to you. Walk over
and interact with the basket when she holds it out
and a scene will play. Make a decision during the scene (it makes no difference
that i could tell other than a slight change to the location of a piece of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR later on).
When you regain control, the policemen in the area will have turned hostile
and you now have your skyhook. The game will give you a brief tutorial on how
to melee attack. Note that if you can see a small skull above an enemy’s head,
you can hold down the melee attack button for a pretty gruesome execution
move.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Founder Policeman \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The policemen are one type of the standard fodder enemies present in |
| Bioshock Infinite. They only appear very early on in the game and are |
| usually equipped with pistols and melee batons. They are relatively |
| weak, with a few shots from a pistol or a melee swing or two killing |
| them. A headshot will result in an instant kill against these guys. |
| |
| ____________________________|_
\__________________________________________/ New Enemy: Founder Policeman \
\______________________________/
After killing the first policeman, another pair will come down the stairs to
confront you. Kill them and climb up to the road above. There is another pair
of policeman here. Melee them to death as you did their friends, and continue
to the right.
As you approach the gate another pair of enemies will enter the area, one of
whom has a pistol. Again kill them both and loot the bodies to get the weapon.
Once finished, there is a health pack in the information booth nearby if you
need it and salts in the back of the Fink MFG wagon.
Go through the gate that the last enemies emerged from and down the stairs.
Look between the cages on the left for a VOXOPHONE ‘Solution to Your Problems’
(Voxophone 1/1). To the right of the cages you’ll find a new type of vending
machine – Veni! Vidi! Vigor! These vending machines allow you to purchase
upgrades of your vigor powers once you unlock them.
This one contains the following upgrades for purchase:
[Veni! Vidi! Vigor! Machine]
______________________________________________
/ Vigor/s: | Upgrade/s: | Cost: \
\______________|_____________________|_________/
______________________________________________
| Possession | Possession Aid | $50 |
| | | |
|______________|_____________________|_________|
For now use it to purchase an upgrade to Possession. There is a purse full of
coins at the base of the machine if you don’t quite have enough yet.
When you are ready, ascend the gangplank behind the vending machine to find
yourself on a fireworks barge. At the far end you will see a new type of enemy
- an automated turret.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Automated Turret \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| Auto-turrets are a common sight in Columbia and are similar to the |
| turrets encountered in previous Bioshock games. They resemble world |
| war one era soldiers (torso and up) with a weapon in front. They will |
| remain inactive until they see you at which point they will open fire.|
| They have a high rate of fire and are extremely accurate. There are |
| two types ofthese turrets: one with a machine gun and one equipped |
| with an RPG. |
| |
| Auto turrets are automatons and as such have a colored indicator to |
| let you know what their status is at a glance. The green light |
| indicates that the auto-turret has not seen you and will not attack. A|
| yellow light indicates that the turret has spotted you and is warning |
| you to stop (if you duck out of sight at this point, they will return |
| to green). Finally, red status means that they have seen you and are |
| attacking. |
| |
| The auto-turrets can be possessed with the Possession vigor to become |
| a temporary ally. This is useful for both distracting enemy units and |
| adding additional damage to yours. This is especially useful at the |
| front end of the game before finding/upgrading more advanced weapons |
| and vigors. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Automated Turret \
\_____________________________/
Approach the auto-turret and use possession on it. A large number of policemen
will appear in the park area below and the auto-turret will give you a good
helping hand in dealing with them. Grab the salts from the nearby crate before
jumping down to help the turret out.
After a short while, the possession will wear off, so either destroy the turret
or stay out of its sight. Go down the stairs nearby and follow the street
along to the right. Kill the policeman as they appear and keep an eye out for
another auto turret on one of the raised planters on the right. Use possession
on this to make things easier, or kill it and the policeman both. There is a
Dollar Bill vending machine near the second turret if you wish to buy
health/salts/ammo.
When you are ready, continue along the street, go on past the police roadblock
and through the open gate.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shady Lane <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Follow the street downhill and kill the two policemen that are awaiting your
arrival. Once they are dead, you can loot the open shop on the left side of
the area. Continue down the road and around the corner to the right. Open the
large gate.
After a short scene you’ll encounter a new type of enemy – the fireman.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Fireman \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The fireman are a little tougher than your average infantry units as |
| they are equipped with a bit of fire resistant armour. They will spend|
| most fights throwing grenades at you using the Devil’s kiss vigor and |
| as such you will need to continue to keep moving when fighting against|
| them to avoid constant splash damage the subsequent explosions dish |
| out. If you get in to close to him, he will send out a fiery shockwave|
| that will damage you and set you on fire, doing a little damage over |
| time to you as well. |
| |
| Fireman can absorb a lot of damage and at least at the start of the |
| game headshots are an effective way to deal with them as they seem to |
| do the most damage. As you progress through the game, new vigors and |
| weapons become available to make things a little easier for you. |
| |
| Once they have lost a good portion of their health, the fireman will |
| explode. Before they do, they will have a grenade indicator appear |
| over their heads. At this point, they will stop lobbing grenades and |
| will charge at you in an attempt to catch you in their explosion. |
| Either shoot them down quickly or run away until they explode. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Fireman \
\_____________________________/
Deal with the fireman using the wagons as cover when required and remember to
keep moving to avoid the explosive grenade damage. Try to hit him with
headshots and remember to stay away from him upon the explosion as he dies or
you will be copping a lot of damage. Once he lies dead, loot his remains for a
new vigor – Devil’s Kiss.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Devil's Kiss \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| As with all of the vigors in Bioshock Infinite, Devil’s Kiss has two |
| functions. Simply hitting the vigor button will throw fiery grenades |
| that explode shortly after impact. Holding down the vigor button and |
| then firing the grenade somewhere will create an explosive trap |
| similar to a proximity mine which will explode when an enemy comes |
| into range of it. |
| |
| Devil’s Kiss can also be used to ignite pools of oil that are |
| occasionally seen on the ground, which will set any enemies standing |
| in them on fire. |
| |
| When you acquire them, Devil's Kiss can be used in conjunction with |
| Possession, Murder of Crows, Bucking Bronco and Charge vigors to |
| perform powerful combination attacks. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Vigor: Devil's Kiss \
\_____________________________/
After the fight, follow the street around to the left and try out your new
vigor on the auto-turret on the right hand side of the street. Proceed up the
street towards the turret you destroyed a short way and a number of policemen
enemies will come down the stairs on the left. You can use Devil’s kiss on the
oil on the road or shoot the explosive fireworks barrels to finish them off
quickly, or finish them off the traditional way.
When you are ready, loot the area, climb the stairs that the policemen
descended from and enter the door at the top to the ‘Blue Ribbon Restaurant’
to complete the chapter.

-------------- ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Blue Ribbon <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Voxophones............6 ]
Kinetoscopes..........4 ] As soon as you enter the Blue Ribbon, you will see
Telescopes............1 ] three KINETOSCOPES (‘A Look Back at Opening Day’
Infusion Upgrades.....3 ] (Kinetoscope 1/4), ‘The Prophet Stands up to Foes:
Gear .................2 ] Within and Without!’ (Kinetoscope 2/4) and ‘We
________________________] Secede from the So-called Union’ (Kinetoscope 3/4)
directly in front of you. View each of these and
then enter the room to the right. At the far end,
interact with the woman blocking the door to the next area to pick up your
first INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/3). This one is given to you as a shield,
but others that you find in future will give you the option of increasing
either the health, salts or shield bars.
From here on in you will now have a shield, the state of which can be monitored
by the yellow/gold bar located just above the red health bar. Like many
contemporary shooters, this will protect your health until it is destroyed at
which point you will start taking meaningful damage. It will regenerate over
time when not being shot, so keep an eye on it and try to not rush into a
combat situation without it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you have purchased the Bioshock Infinite season pass, when you enter
the main bar area of 'The Blue Ribbon' there will be 4 pieces of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR on the table to the right. On the bar there will be 3
INFUSION UPGRADES. On the table at the far end of the room will be
another 2 INFUSION UPGRADES.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you have picked up the upgrade, the woman will move. Enter the kitchen
and grab the VOXOPHONE ‘Half a Jew’ (Voxophone 1/6) from the table to the left.
Continue through the set path (looting as you go of course!) out of the kitchen
and down the hallway behind it until you find your way back outside.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Hooks <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Upon exiting the Blue Ribbon, turn right and go down the stairs. Look at the
next building across. See the hooks hanging from the side? Target that with
your reticule and a button prompt will appear – use the jump button to jump
over to it. From the first hook, jump across to a second nearby and from here
to the hooks on the next building. Before jumping down to the platform below,
target the enemy and another button prompt will appear for a ‘Sky-line Strike’
hit the jump button to perform an aerial attack on the guard.
The guy we just killed had a machine gun, so pick that up and continue down
the nearby stairs. Here you’ll encounter another group of 4-5 new enemies –
Founder Soldiers.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Founder Soldier \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The founder soldiers are a more advanced version of the policemen that|
| we encountered earlier and a little harder to kill. They are decked |
| out in body armour and helmets, making them a little more resistant to|
| damage that their policemen colleagues. They are also equipped with |
| more advanced weapons including machine guns, carbines and shotguns. |
| They will take coverand try to kill you from safety and will run |
| between cover to get a better angle on your position. As with the |
| previous enemy types, aim for the headand stay in cover to deal with |
| these guys in a time-effective manner. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Founder Soldier \
\_____________________________/
Try to deal with these guys from a distance as there is a floating barge to
the left of the rooftop with an auto-turret that will attack you if you get
too close to it. Once you see no more enemies, work your way to the far end of
the rooftop, killing the turret on the barge as you go. Climb the steps at the
end and turn right.
When you reach the next set of stairs leading down, more soldiers will appear
to greet you. Again use the height advantage of the raised platform to take
them out. There is an oil slick near the bottom of the stairs that you can
ignite if you wish to help things along. When you can see no more enemies,
proceed down the stairs a short distance and look to the left. There is another
barge here with an auto-turret on it so possess this (it will help you thin
out the enemies on the adjacent rooftop) or destroy it before progressing down
the stairs to the rooftop.
Help the turret mop up any remaining enemies (4-5 soldiers) on the nearby
rooftop below. There is another oil slick on the side of this rooftop closest
to the barge with the auto-turret if you want to make use of it. When all of
the baddies are dead or dying, hop down to the lower rooftop yourself. Shoot
out one of the skylights and drop into the building.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lansdowne Residence <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Loot the area and before exiting the house as the game wants you to, locate
the stairs leading down to the right of the exit. At the bottom of the first
set of stairs, go past the next set leading down and enter the door on the
right to find a bedroom. On a shelf here you will find a VOXOPHONE ‘Otis’
Nimble Fingers’ (Voxophone 2/6). Loot the rest of the room and note the big
blue chest – opening that is an optional task and we’ll be back to do that
later!
Exit the bedroom and take the next set of stairs down to the ground floor,
there is a non-hostile citizen here as well as some salts and money to loot.
When you are ready to continue, go back upstairs to where we dropped in from
and go through the door to exit the house.
Target the hook above and in front to leap over to the nearby building and
from here jump across to the next rooftop. Loot the alfresco area here if you
wish, before entering the door to the right.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Montgomery Residence <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As soon as you enter, go through the door on the left. Go past the printing
machines in here and once you meet the non-aggressive owners of the house,
turn right and follow the corridor into the next room. Loot the room before
proceeding out the door to the left.
As you exit, turn to the left and kill the soldier here. Attacking him will
cause another 4-5 soldiers to spawn in the distance and come towards your
position. Try to stay near the exit from the previous building as there is an
auto-turret to the right of the winged statue behind the tent. Note the stack
of crates at the foot of the stairs a short distance away just to the left of
the tent. There is an oil slick here we can ignite with Devil’s Kiss to kill
or damage the enemies if you wish to do so.
Shortly after the initial enemies are clear, either use possess on the
aforementioned turret or return back to where we entered the area out of its
line of sight as another group of bad guys will appear. These include a fireman
and 3-4 soldier types who will attempt to melee you. Once they are dead, edge
forward and take out the turret.
Now to have a look around the immediate area! Return to the door we entered
this area from. From here, turn right, climb the stairs to either side of the
Dollar Bill vending machine and turn left at the top. Look behind the tent
here for a kINETOSCOPE ‘Danger on all Sides!’ (Kinetoscope 4/4). From here,
go down the nearby stairs and climb up on the stage in the grassy area to find
a VOXOPHONE ‘A New Hunt’ (Voxophone 3/6). Loot the rest of the area before
climbing up the stairs between the winged statue and the turret we knocked
out. Enter the building at the far end.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fraternal Order of the Raven <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Proceed past the statue of the serpent and enter the door on the far side of
the courtyard. Once inside you will come across a large statue of John Wilkes
Booth with doors on both the left and the right as well as a set of stairs
behind it. Enter the door to its left first to find a small bar of sorts. As
you enter the patrons will become hostile so kill them all. Afterwards head up
to the bar and pick up the VOXOPHONE ‘The Gift of the Emancipator’ (Voxophone
4/6) that is sitting on top of it. Loot the rest of the room and return to the
giant statue.
The door on the right contains a few food pickups and a back passage to the
room on the left containing a few coins, so go and check those out if you are
interested. When you are ready to continue with the game, head up the stairs
behind the statue and enter the door at the top.
You will find yourself in a large hall occupied by raven cultists below.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Raven Cultist \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| As with the policemen we encountered earlier, the cultists are another|
| type of the standard fodder enemies present in Bioshock Infinite. They|
| only appear at one area in the game and are equipped with pistols, |
| machine guns and large clubs. They are relatively weak, with a few |
| shots from a pistol or a melee swing or two killing them. A headshot |
| will result in an instant kill against these guys. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Raven Cultist \
\_____________________________/
If you have any salts on you, I would recommend going up to the railing
directly in front of the entrance and using a charged up Devil’s Kiss trap in
the centre of the gathered cultists below. This should kill a large number of
them before they even know that you are there! Once the trap has gone off, the
others will obviously become alerted to your presence. Stay where you are.
There is a set of stairs on either end of the room towards which any surviving
melee enemies will run whilst any gun toting baddies are likely to stay down
in the room and take pot shots at you from below.
Once everything is clear, make your way down to the lower room and look on the
benches for a VOXOPHONE ‘The Lie of the Emancipator’ (Voxophone 5/6). Check out
the altar at the front of the room for an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 2/3) and
grab the KEY sitting next to it. Remember the blue chest we saw earlier? This
key will unlock it. If you wish to complete the optional task, follow the
guide below, if you do not wish to do so, skip past it and continue the
walkthrough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you wish to unlock the ‘Infused with Greatness’ achievement/trophy you
must complete this optional task.

| Reward/s: INFUSION UPGRADE |
| |
| Retrace your steps back upstairs, through the door, past the statue of |
| John Wilkes Booth and back outside. Go past the statue of the serpent |
| to return to the previous area. Go down the stairs back towards the |
| house thatcontained the printing presses and you will note that the |
| courtyard outside is now occupied by 4-5 fresh Founder soldiers. Kill |
| them all and remember that handy oil slick which can help you out again|
| here. |
| |
| Return through the printing press building and exit out the far side. |
| Turn left and proceed to the end of the rooftop. Jump over to the |
| nearby hook and then again back over to the balcony outside the |
| Lansdowne Residence. Enter the building, go down the stairs on your |
| left and enter the door onthe right just past the next set of stairs |
| leading down. |
| |
| Once inside, use the key on the giant blue chest. Within you will find |
| a health kit, some more salts and an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 3/3). |
| Grab these to complete the optional mission. Now head all the way back |
| through the level until you arrive at the altar in the Fraternal Order |
| of the Raven building where we found the key. |
| |
| ___________________________________________________ |
\_________/ Optional Mission – Find the Lock that Fits the Key\__________/
\___________________________________________________/
From the altar, there is an open door on the right. Climb the stairs inside and
through the door to enter a library area. At the back of the room you can
listen to a radio broadcast for a little backstory if you like. When ready go
through the next door to enter an elevator. Hit the button to take it to the
next floor.
After getting off the lift, go around the central wall to find another door.
There is a Dollar Bill vending machine opposite if you require
health/ammo/salts. Go through the door to find yourself in a projector room.
Loot the large central table and enter the door on the left. Inside look on
the desk at the far right, directly below the ‘Protecting Our Race’ seal on
the wall for a VOXOPHONE ‘Symbols of Our Lady’ (Voxophone 6/6). Loot the rest
of the room.
Return to the large circular table room and look directly across to see a
bookcase. Run over and interact with this to unveil a secret room behind it.
Inside you will find a present containing some EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/2).
Exit back to the circular room and interact with the door at the top of the
stairs opposite where we entered for a scene.
When we are back in control, exit to a courtyard area. Here we will encounter
a new type of enemy – the Crow.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: The Crow \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| Crows, like the fireman we ran into earlier in the game are equipped |
| with a vigor and as such, they have attacks that highlight the use of |
| that vigor. Their vigor is the Murder of Crows. The Crow attacks with |
| a melee club weapon and is able to transform into a flock of crows |
| rendering him invincible for a short period of time. |
| |
| The trick to beating the crow is to get him out of his crow form so |
| that you can kill him. Unfortunately he only does this when he is |
| close enough to get a melee attack in on you. As such, in order to |
| kill him easier, plant traps by using charged up vigors and lure him |
| into them. The Devil’s Kiss trap is especially useful as the fiery |
| explosion causes damage over time. Once the traps go off, he will be |
| in a humanoid form and knocked to the ground or stunned for a few |
| seconds. Take this opportunity to fill him with lead. You’ll probably |
| need to repeat the process a few times, but it’sreally not that |
| difficult once you know how to handle them. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: The Crow \
\_____________________________/
As mentioned above, the easiest way to kill the crow at this point in time is
to plant a Devil’s Kiss trap and to kill him as he takes. If you require
additional salts, you can find some near the entryway across from the
gramophone and another vial is on a pillar on the left hand side at the end of
the bridge over the pond just inside the door. Once you have dealt with the
Crow, you’ll be able to loot his remains for the Murder of Crows vigor.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Murder of Crows \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| Whilst the Murder of Crows vigor can be used to damage enemies, its |
| damage output is relatively low. As such, it is much more effective as|
| a method of crowd control. Hitting the vigor button will summon a |
| group of crows to swarm and attack a target enemy; this will stun them|
| in place. Holding down the vigor button will create a crow trap, so |
| any enemy that gets too close to it will be attacked by the crows and |
| stunned. |
| |
| Whilst enemies are stunned and being attacked by crows they will not |
| attack you, allowing players to focus on other enemies until the vigor|
| runs out. Additionally, bad guys under attack from your crows will |
| also take additional damage from your weapons and vigors allowing you |
| to deal with them in a more efficient manner. |
| |
| When you acquire them, Murder of Crows can be used in conjunction with|
| Devil's Kiss and Shock Jockey to perform powerful combination attacks.|
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Vigor: Murder of Crows \
\_____________________________/
Once the crow has been killed, the doors at the far end of the room will burst
open and a pair of Founder soldiers will emerge from each. Kill them before
proceeding up either set of stairs and into the room. As you enter,
immediately look towards the centre of the room to see a broken vending
machine. On the ground next to it you will find another present containing a
piece EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 2/2).
Exit the door on the far side of the door from the entry to return outside. As
you exit the building, look to the left to see a floating barge. Jump over to
this and use the TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1) on board. Jump back to the main
balcony and you’ll see a number of hooks ahead. Jump between them.
After the second hook you can jump down to a balcony below and explore a house,
note there is not much inside except for a few coins and some food so it’s
probably safe to miss this one unless you are really keen. There are also three
policemen downstairs getting a description of you which is kind of cool to see.
When you are ready to continue, return to the balcony and jump for the next
hook. Again, after the second, you’ll be ready to jump down to the next area,
so you may as well target the lone enemy and hit him with a sky-line strike to
kill him. He has a mate around who will be alerted once you kill him, so
finish the second guard off too before looting the area, climbing the stairs
and enter the large door at the top.
This will complete the chapter.

When ready, enter either one of the doors leading to the main room.
The main room is has a number of pillars and an auto-turret at the far end
ready to shoot you if you come into its line of sight. There is also a bunch
of Founder soldiers with 2-3 located on the near side of the room and 8-10 on
the far side of the area near the auto-turret. There is a mix of melee and
gun equipped soldiers, so it’s best to either possess or destroy the turret as
quickly as possible to give you some freedom of movement.
Once everything is dead, climb the stairs at the back of the room and check
out the rooms to the left and right for some loot if you are interested (there
is a fair bit of money lying around in here) before proceeding out the far
door to enter a hallway with a red carpet.
Turn right as you exit to find another set of Dollar Bill and a Veni! Vidi!
Vigor! vending machines for you here if you wish to use them. To the right of
the machines is a door leading to another room with a bit of loot. Exit to the
hallway and follow it until you are back outside.
Now that we are outside and the gondola isn’t going anywhere, we finally get
to use those sky-lines! Target the sky-line to the left with your reticule
you’ll see that each sky-line consists of two rails which will each take you
in a different direction. Target the one going away from the platform you are
on and ride it down and up until it goes through an archway.
At this point, you will see a blue platform to the left of the sky-line with a
Founder soldier. Jump down and kill the soldier and his friend inside. Check
out the doorway to the right inside the maintenance area here and you will find
an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) on a desk. Loot the rest of the area and
return to the balcony. Head over and use the TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1) on the
right hand side. Hop back up to the sky-line.
Ride the sky-line until you come to a stop inside a building. Hop down and
kill the Founder soldier here. Proceed into the room to the right. Grab the
VOXOPHONE ‘Another Ark for Another Time’ (Voxophone 1/1) from the desk in
here. Exit the room and look to the left of the machinery in front to find a
lever. Pull that to clear the sky-line.
Get back up onto the sky-line and ride it until you can go no further once
again. Jump down (or sky-line strike the enemy) to land on the barge on the
right. Jump over to the hook opposite and drop down to the raised platform.
From here kill the three enemies below. Leap up to one of the hooks attached
to the main building and then get down to the balcony below. Enter the open
door here.
There are three soldiers in here, so kill them as you progress through. When
they are all dead, return to the bedroom and look behind the bedside table on
the right to find a gift containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1).
Once you exit the far end of the building, get back onto that pesky sky-line
again. Once more, ride it until it ends and hop off.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Tolling <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Once you are on the platform, the Founder soldiers here will immediately stop
attacking you. Feel free to kill them if you like for some machine gun ammo as
they won’t fight back. Head over to the door they are facing and enter it.
Inside, you will see more of the same with non-hostile soldiers kneeling before
a giant screen. Run to the back of the room and throw the lever here to
activate an elevator.
Once it reaches the top, climb off the lift and follow the platform around to
the left and into the hallway until an explosion takes out part of the wall. At
this point, run to the new opening and you will see a zeppelin. Target the
hook on its side opposite the hole in the wall and then jump down to the
platform below.
There are four Founder soldiers inside the zeppelin and three will emerge from
within to attack you as you land. Clear them out and then enter the main deck
via the open door, kill the remaining soldier before entering the door to the
left. Interact with the control panel at the front of the ship for a scene.
Once you regain control, turn around and you will see the interior of the
zeppelin is now on fire. Sprint back into the main room and you will see a
door in the floor opening up. When you are able jump out of the zeppelin via
this exit and hit the jump button to grab the sky-line below. Ride it until
you can go no further.
Drop down to the platform below and use the Dollar Bill and a Veni! Vidi!
Vigor! vending machines if you have need of them.
Enter the door at the top of the stairs between the vending machines to
complete the chapter.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Monument Tower <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As soon as you are inside, look to the left and check out the open locker
there for a VOXOPHONE ‘Tiger by the Tail’ (Voxophone 1/4). Proceed past the
statue and enter the door opposite the entry. Follow the hall to the right
and enter the next door. There are three levers here you can pull if you wish.
When you are ready, go around to the back of the room and enter the next door.
In the hallway here, take the first left and enter the door. Inside you will
find a VOXOPHONE ‘To R.Thompson Re: Fuses’ (Voxophone 2/4) on a desk against
the right hand wall. Loot the rest of the room and then exit back to the
hallway. You can explore the rooms on the left and right if you like for a few
lootables before entering the door at the end of the hallway.
As you enter the next room, look on the desk directly in front of you for a
VOXOPHONE ‘A Reward Deferred’ (Voxophone 3/4). Look around the right hand side
of this desk, tucked away behind it is an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1). Head
down the stairs and across the room. Enter the elevator on the far side and
hit the switch to take it up to the next area.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Specimen Observation <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you get off the lift and hit the lever in front to have a look into the
room beyond. Continue down the hallway to the left. Activate the Specimen
Tracker on the wall here. This will open the door to the left. Follow the
wooden walkway around until you find the next door. Hit the lever in here for
a scene. Afterwards, head through the now open door on your left.
Again activate the Specimen Tracker on the wall here. This will open the door
to the left. Follow the wooden walkway around until you find the next door.
Once again, hit the lever for a scene. Once the story sequence is done, the
door to the left will open. Go through here and go through the next door that
opens. Climb the ramp outside and take the next set of stairs up to the next
observation area.
Grab the VOXOPHONE ‘The Source of her Power’ (Voxophone 4/4) from the chair
on the right. When you are done, hit the lever to observe the specimen. Enter
the door to the left and activate the Specimen Tracker to open the next door.
Open the door at the end of the hallway.
We are now outside! Follow the platform to the right until you find another
door. Enter this and follow the hallway until a scene plays.
Once the scene is done, follow Elizabeth through the door and down the stairs.
Continue along the set path after her until you reach the elevator. After
another short scene, the lift will disappear. Jump through the gap and climb
the set of stairs in the next room all the way to the top. Interact with the
door here.
Once back outside, follow the ramp to the right all the way to the top until a
scene plays.
When you regain control, DeWitt will be in another short flashback type
sequence again and you’ll find yourself in another area. Simply walk up to the
door at the far end of the room and open it. This will end the chapter.

________________________] are backin control, head up to the very back of
the area and beneath the main structure, you will
find ared and white striped shed with wheels.
Beneath this you will find a VOXOPHONE ‘Born in the River’ (Voxophone 1/5).
Head over to the door with the lines of fence pickets in front and go inside.
Follow the short passage around until you find the next exit. Look on the wall
opposite this for a KINETOSCOPE ‘Battleship Bay’ (Kinetoscope 1/2). To the
left of this is a maintenance room we can enter to loot a few bits and pieces.
Return through the door and exit to the next beach area.
Look to the right and you’ll see a group of people dancing at the end of a
pier. Work your way over here to find Elizabeth. As you arrive, interact with
her and a short scene will play. Afterwards, follow Elizabeth over to the far
side of the area and enter the turnstile.
Once inside, you’ll be in a gift shop. Loot the room and check out the
maintenance door to the right for some loot and then return to the gift shop
and climb the stairs opposite.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Upper Boardwalk <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Follow Elizabeth along the boardwalk until she runs into those two strangers
that we’ve seen a couple of times previously. Walk up and interact with
Elizabeth for a scene. During the scene make a choice (it doesn’t really
matter, from what I can tell it’s just an aesthetic decision). Shortly after
the scene, you’ll be prompted to hit the action button to look at something.
Do so.
Loot the rest of the area and when you are ready to continue onwards, climb
the stairs on the right side of the dock leading to the arcade.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Arcade <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you enter, turn right and head over to the door there. Interact with it and
Elizabeth will come along and unlock it for you. Inside, loot the room before
continuing through the next door. Climb the stairs in here and enter the door
at the top.
There is a Dollar Bill vending machine at the top. Use this if you feel the
need and continue past it and through the door at the far end of the hallway
opposite where we came in from. Inside, in a basket on the right you can pick
up a VOXOPHONE ‘Heaven’ (Voxophone 2/5). There is also a gift on the table to
the left of this with a piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/2) in it. Return to
the hallway and when you reach the vending machine, turn right and head into
the hallway here.
At this point there is a piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 2/2).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The gift box for this piece of GEAR may appear in one of two spots. Where
it appears is dependent on a decision you made at the start of the game.
If you decided to throw the baseball at the inter-racial couple, it will
appear in the arcade next to one of Fink's employees. If you decided to
throw the ball at Fink, it will appear in the hallway leading to the
Arcade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you enter the Arcade, go to the opposite side of the arcade from the entry
find the White bathrooms. Follow the hallway past the bathrooms and at the end
you will find a KINETOSCOPE ‘Solving the Irish Problem’ (Kinetoscope 2/2). Do
a 180 degree turn and enter the male bathroom. On a table next to a row of
sinks there is a VOXOPHONE ‘A Dog’s Loyalty’ (Voxophone 3/5). Return outside
and go back to the arcade, turn left and climb the stairs here. Go through
the turnstiles here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gondola Station <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Follow the path to the left and climb the stairs to the top until you find
yourself in a large room with a ticketing area. Make your way across the room
and to the ticket window against the far wall. Ring the bell here for a scene.
During the scene make a decision.
Once the scene is complete, all of the citizens in the room behind you have
turned hostile. Kill them all whilst trying to use the pillars as cover if you
need it. Once they are all dead Elizabeth will run off. After a few moments,
the gates on the left side of the room will open and another 6-7 Founder
soldiers will enter, two of them will charge with melee whilst the others will
keep their distance.
After ventilating the lot of them, loot all the bodies (and the rest of the
room), you can find a shotgun in one of the violin cases if you are interested.
When you are good to go, climb up the stairs and through the now unlocked gate.
At the top of the stairs, turn to the right and enter the open office at the
end of the corridor. Inside there is a VOXOPHONE ‘Take Her Alive’ (Voxophone
4/5). Picking this up will cause another hostile citizen to spawn in the
hallway behind you; he will come to melee you so kill him before he does.
Exit to the hallway and continue straight along it, past the stairs and around
the corner to the left. Here, you want to enter the first door on the left.
Inside you will find an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) on a desk against the
right hand wall. Loot the rest of the room and then continue to the far end of
the room from whence you entered and take the other set of stairs leading out.
At the top, enter the doors to the left. Inside, climb the stairs down to the
very bottom and look beneath them for a small workbench area with a VOXOPHONE
‘The Golden Path to Heaven’ (Voxophone 5/5) on a box nearby. Return back up
the stairs and through the door. Once back in the main area, take the first
left to find the gondola platform.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gondola to Soldier’s Field <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Make your way around to the right and up to the gondola. Enter the cabin
facing the waterfall and throw the lever in here for a short scene.
Once you have arrived at the other platform, exit the gondola and loot the
area. Climb up to the top tier of the platform. In the centre of the railing
looking back towards the gondola you will see a TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1) that
you can use. Do so for your collectible count!
When you are ready to continue with the game, go through the nearby turnstiles
to complete the chapter.

Kinetoscopes..........4 ] As you enter the area, go down the stairs and take
Telescopes............0 ] a right. Go down the smaller set of stairs here
Infusion Upgrades.....2 ] to find a new type of vending machine –
Gear .................2 ] MinuteMan’s Armory. This type of vending machine
________________________] allows you to purchase upgrades for your weapons
this one has the following upgrades on offer:
[Minuteman's Armory Machine]
______________________________________________
/ Weapon/s: | Upgrade/s: | Cost: \
\______________|______________________|________/
______________________________________________
| Pistol | Clip Increase | $275 |
|______________|______________________|________|
| Machine Gun | Damage Boost 1 | $236 |
|______________|______________________|________|
Upgrade if you wish and pick up the lock picking kit from the crate to the
right. Continue down the next set of stairs to find a miniature map of
Columbia. Against the back wall you will find a KINETOSCOPE ‘A City in the
Sky? Impossible!’ (Kinetoscope 1/4). Return to the main part of the room and
now check out the side area to the left.
Grab the lock pick from the floor in front of the locked door and get Elizabeth
to open it (requires 1 lock pick). Inside, you’ll find an INFUSION UPGRADE
(Infusion 1/2) on a desk against the left wall. Additionally if you follow the
room to the end there is a small office with a lock pick on the desk, a safe
you can unlock for 200 coins (requires 5 lock picks – at this point I wouldn’t
bother as lock picks are quite hard to come by) and an open locker with a
VOXOPHONE ‘A Place in the World’ (Voxophone 1/8). You’ll also find a new
weapon – the carbine against the wall in here. When you are done with all of
your looting, return to the main room.
As you approach the door opposite the entrance, the gate will slam closed. Run
over and interact with it to go through to the next area. Follow the room
round until you reach the exit and feel free to use the salt machine here to
replenish your salt if you need to do so. Exit the building to enter Soldier’s
Field.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Soldier’s Field <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Note that in this area, the citizens and police will be non-hostile and like
the start of Battleship Bay or the welcome Centre they will all usually have
something to say if you let them. Looting willy-nilly as we have done
previously will not go unpunished. Before picking up items inside shops, know
that if an item description has a pinkish hue, picking it up will be
considered stealing and all of the police in the area and the shop owner will
become aggressive and attack.
After going beneath the ‘Soldier’s Field’ sign, take a left. There is a small
observation deck to the left before the ice cream shop that has a KINETOSCOPE
‘Mighty Songbird Patrols the Skies’ (Kinetoscope 2/4) on it. Enter the
aforementioned Ice Cream shop to find a VOXOPHONE ‘I am his Mirror’ (Voxophone
2/8). Exit the shop and turn right. See the building with the ‘Patriot’s
Pride Confections’ sign on it? Head over to left of this building to find the
Founder’s Bookstore. At the back of the room there is a VOXOPHONE ‘Viewing
the Infinite’ (Voxophone 3/8) on a desk at the top of the short flight of
stairs.
Exit the book store and go straight ahead until you find a ramp leading down
to the right. Follow the path here until you reach the sign reading ‘Gondola
to the first lady Aerodrome’. Continue past it and at the end of the platform
here pull the lever.
After the short scene, head back to the Founders bookstore and climb up the
stairs to the right of its entrance. As you reach the top, you will pass a
police roadblock which will cause all the police in the area to become hostile
(there are 6-7 of them). Additionally the road block will be manned by 4-5
Founder soldiers.
You can kill them all if you wish, alternatively you can keep running past the
Dollar Bill vending machine and information booth and up then next set of
stairs on the left side of the area, enter the next area and take the elevator
without killing anyone. Either way, before entering the elevator, loot the
lock pick from the floor near the crates to the left of the door, there is
also a Veni! Vidi! Vigor! vending machine to the right if you require it. When
ready, head inside and ride the lift to the next area.
When the elevator goes offline, interact with the fuse on the wall for a scene.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sky Road Entry <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After getting off the lift, go down the stairs and check out the side area on
the left. Here you will find a broken vending machine and on the floor next to
it a lock pick. There are two doors we can explore here. Facing the broken
machine, enter the right hand door first. Kill the two soldiers in here. Loot
the room and then do the same with the door to the left.
Make your way around the display in the very centre of the main area and find
the door on the far side of the room marked ‘Employees Only’. Get Elizabeth to
unlock the door for you. Once it is unlocked, enter with caution and look to
the left. There is an auto-turret in here. Destroy it. After that is done,
work your way down the right hand wall of the room, here you will find a desk
holding a VOXOPHONE ‘Never Seen the Face’ (Voxophone 4/8) and a gift box
containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/2) . In the back room where
the auto-turret was, there is a safe we can open (requires 5 lock picks) for a
sum of money.
Exit back to the main room and take the door to the left. Grab the golden
vigor flask from the box here for a new vigor – Bucking Bronco.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Bucking Bronco \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Bucking Bronco Vigor is a handy addition to your arsenal. Hitting |
| the vigor button will send out a shockwave a short distance in front |
| of you that will launch any enemies it touches into the air for a |
| couple of seconds. Holding down the vigor button and dropping a vigor |
| trap will launch any enemy that comes too close to it into the air. If|
| an effected enemy has only a small amount of health left, the vigor |
| will slam them into the ground and kill them. |
| |
| As with the Murder of Crows vigor, enemies who are in the air, under |
| the influence of the vigor’s effects will take additional damage. |
| |
| When you acquire them, Bucking Bronco can be used in conjunction with |
| the Devil's kiss and Charge vigors to perform powerful combination |
| attacks. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Vigor: Bucking Bronco \
\_____________________________/
Continue along the path there until you exit the building.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sky Road <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you exit the building, you will see a large group of Founder soldiers in
the plaza in front of you. They will remain stationary for a brief period of
time, so use the opportunity to drop a Devil’s Kiss trap in the middle of them
from a distance. This should kill the majority of enemies that you can see.
Unfortunately there are a whole lot more of them lurking about that we can't
see who will become aggressive.
In total there are around 20 soldiers in the area below and they will emerge
from both the ticket building on the right (including one or two on the upper
balcony of the ticket building), the gondola platform in the distance and from
the 'Fellow Traveller' building on the left. There is also an auto turret on
the left side of the gondola area. In addition to sticking behind the crates at
the top of the stairs, you can also use the hooks above the ticket building to
access the balcony there and attack from above. Once the enemy numbers start
dwindling a Crow will also enter the area.
After all of the hostiles have been subdued, head over to the gondola platform
and throw the lever to clear the sky-lines of cargo to allow us access to the
next area. Before we go however, there is an optional task and a few
collectibles lying around this area to collect.
Return to the ticket building and go inside. On the left hand side of the
lower level in the room closest to the main area you will find a KINETOSCOPE
‘Who are the Vox Populi?’ (Kinetoscope 3/4) and in the far left room you will
find a locked door (requires 3 lock picks to unlock) containing a new piece of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 2/2) and a Minuteman’s Armory vending machine which now
features the following upgrades:
[Minuteman's Armory Machine]
______________________________________________

| Sniper Rifle | Damage Boost 1 | $349 |
| | | |
|______________|______________________|________|
Head up the stairs in the main area of the ticket building and look beneath
the arcade machines. There is a lock pick and some coins to be found there.
Against the railing overlooking the ground floor you will also find a propped
up Carbine. On the ground next to it is another VOXOPHONE ‘A True Soldier’
(Voxophone 5/8).
Head across the road to the Fellow Traveller building and make your way inside.
As you enter, look on the table to the right of the entrance for a lock pick.
Head over to the bar. Enter the door behind and to the left of the bar and
grab the VOXOPHONE ‘Vox Contraband inventory’ (Voxophone 6/8) stuck on a
cupboard on the back wall of the room. Return to the bar and go down the
hallway to the right of it. Enter the first door on the left and examine the
scribble on the wall. This will begin the optional mission – Find the Cipher.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you wish to unlock the ‘Infused with Greatness’ and the 'Eavesdropper'
achievement/trophy you must complete the following optional task. It is
the quickest and easiest of any optional tasks in the game so it should
not take longer than a minute or two.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
___________________________________________________
__________/ Optional Mission – Find the Cipher \_________
/ \___________________________________________________/ \
| |
| Reward/s: INFUSION UPGRADE, VOXOPHONE |
| |
| To find the Cipher, all we really need to do is go back across the |
| street to the ticket building. On the ground floor is a large canon on |
| a pedestal. Dangling from the end of the barrel is a code book. Pick |
| this up and return to the scrawled code inside the Fellow Traveller. |
| Elizabeth will decipher it for you. |
| |
| Exit to the hallway and enter the next door on the left. Interact with |
| the hat on the hat rack here to open up a secret passage nearby. Enter|
| the passage and climb down the stairs to the room below. On the shelf |
| to the left you can pick up an RPG, to the left of this on another |
| bench is an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 2/2) and on the desk in the |
| centre of the room is a lock pick and a VOXOPHONE ‘Their Sun is |
| Setting’ (Voxophone 7/8). Loot the rest of the room and head back |
| outside. |
| |
| Note that four more soldiers will have spawned during the time you were|
| in the secret room, two in the Fellow traveller building and two out |
| on the main street. Once they are dead, you are all done! |
| |
| ___________________________________________________ |
\__________/ Optional Mission – Find the Cipher \_________/
\___________________________________________________/
After you have finished looting the area, return to the gondola platform and
use the sky-line. When you can go no further, hop over to the second sky-line
nearby and ride it up to the platform in front of the Hall of Heroes.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hall of Heroes Plaza <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Upon arriving, drop down to the ground. Take the stairs nearby down and
investigate the parked gondola. If you didn’t do the optional mission just
before, you can grab an RPG from the crate to the left of the gondola and
inside it, there is a VOXOPHONE ‘A Final Stand’ (Voxophone 8/8) on a chair.
When you are ready to continue, take either set of stairs up to the main
platform. As you arrive a sniper will open fire on you from the upper balcony
on the left side of the building ahead. Take cover behind one of the statues
immediately in front and Elizabeth will throw you a sniper rifle. Grab it and
shoot the sniper. Continue forward a short distance and 10-12 Founder soldiers
will spawn around the base of the building in the distance. A couple of them
will charge at you with melee weapons, so deal with them first before using
your newly acquired sniper rifle to pick off the ranged attackers.
Once they are all dead, you can use the Dollar Bill vending machine on the
main tier of the plaza if you require any salts/ammo/health before proceeding
up the stairs at the back of the area. Before entering the door to the next
zone, look to the right and grab the KINETOSCOPE ‘Who Needs the Power Company?’
(Kinetoscope 4/4).
Return to the main door and continue inside.

You’ll find a pair of a new brand of enemy waiting for you – Slate’s veterans.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Slate's Veterans \__________________________________________

| Slate’s veterans are found throughout the Hall of Heroes and like the |
| Founder Soldiers are more advanced variant of the standard fodder |
| enemies in the game. They are a little harder to kill as they are more|
| resistant to damage the standard fodder bad guys. They are also |
| equipped with more advanced weapons including machine guns, carbines |
| and shotguns. As with the soldiers, they will take cover and try to |
| kill you from safety and will run between cover to get a better angle |
| on your position. As with the previous enemy types, aim for the head |
| and stay in cover to deal with these guys in a time-effective manner. |
| |
| ___________________________|_

Once the pair of them are dead, head through the doorway on the left at the
crossroad. In the next room you’ll find a giant statue in the centre and no
way out…yet.
After a short conversation with a voice over a loud speaker, the door to the
right of the statue will open and a group of 4-5 veterans will emerge. Kill
them, using the statue as cover if you require it. Once they are dead, the
door at the far end of the room will open. Ignore this for now and proceed
into the room from which the enemies came.
Go to the back, right hand corner of the room to find an INFUSION UPGRADE
(Infusion 1/1) on the table here. Look to the left to find a statue propped up
against some crates. Beneath its foot you will see a lock pick. Loot the
remainder of the area and return to the previous room. Head through the door

Telescopes............0 ] historical guide in the centre with three
Infusion Upgrades.....0 ] exhibits behind it: The Boxer Rebellion, The
Gear .................2 ] Battle of Wounded Knee and The First Lady – note
________________________] that the First Lady exhibit will unlock once the
other two have been cleared out. To the left and
right of the entry door is a Dollar Bill and a
Minuteman’s Armory vending machine so use them if you need them! When you are
good to go, lets clear out the Boxer Rebellion exhibit first.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peking Exhibit <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Proceed along the path until the door opens automatically in front of you.
Continue along the path a little further until you climb a short flight of
stairs. At the top, enter the door to the right marked ‘Employees only’. Grab
the piece of gift wrapped EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/2) off the table at the back
of the room. Loot the rest of the area and return to the exhibit.
Kill the enemy that has appeared during your short stint in the side room and
then follow the path straight ahead and through the next door. You can interact
with the statue in this room for a bit of historical poetry if you are into
that kind of thing and to continue, proceed through the door behind the statue.
After a short moment, a group of enemies will attack. There will be 4 veterans
and a fireman. Kill them all. Note that the fireman spawns in the raised
platform at the back, right of the room so be sure to use the bits and pieces
of exhibit to stay in cover whilst avoiding those grenades! Once the room is
clear, we need to backtrack through the exhibit to the hub room with the
circular guide in the centre. As you approach the room, you will see another
four veterans to kill. Finish them off and then it’s time to head into the
Wounded Knee exhibit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wounded Knee Exhibit <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Follow the passage straight ahead along the set path until you reach the first
short set of stairs. At this point, enter the door to the left marked
‘Employees only’. Kill the veteran lurking inside and then check out the desk
at the back of the room. Here you’ll find a gift box with some new EQUIPPABLE
GEAR (Gear 2/2) and an RPG if you wish to use one. Go back out to the exhibit.
Follow the path straight ahead and through the next door. As with the Peking
Exhibit, you can interact with the statue in this room for a bit of historical
poetry and to continue, proceed through the door behind the statue.
Similar to the Peking Exhibit, in this room you will need to fight off a number
of enemies. 10 veterans will attack, coming in 3-4 at a time before a Crow
appears to add a bit of flavour to the end of the fight. There is plenty of
cover to be had amongst the props in the exhibit to take out the veterans and
enough open space in the centre of the room to lure the crow into traps so you
should not have too much difficulty. Once you have successfully destroyed the
enemies, it’s time to backtrack to the rotunda.
When you arrive, you will note the First Lady exhibit is now accessible. If
you have some salts available, throw a trap at the foot of the door to this
exhibit. As you approach the door, three veterans will run out of it to attack.
Kill them before proceeding inside.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Memorial to Our Lady <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Proceed through the room here, down the stairs, past the statue and enter the
door at the top of the short stairs at the far end of the area. As you enter
the next room, go under the bridge to the left and have Elizabeth unlock the
door here when you are able to do so.
Upon entering the next room, look in the side area to the right and you’ll find
a VOXOPHONE ‘Unconditional’ (Voxophone 1/1) on the chair in front of a
fireplace. Proceed down the stairs and through the next door. Head across the
room here and enter the last door here to exit the exhibit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Courtyard <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Go down the stairs and Elizabeth will slip through the gate here. At this
point you will get a brief tutorial on tears and how Elizabeth is able to use
them whilst you are in combat to give you a helping hand. The gist of it is to
aim at the tear until a ghostly image of the object that can be brought into
the world appears and then hit the action button to have Elizabeth make it so.
Throughout the rest of the game, these tears will now appear in combat
situations. Note that you can only have one active tear at a time. Bring in the
freight hooks behind the gate and use the skyhook to jump over the gate.
You’ll now be shown a couple of tears that Elizabeth can use to bring objects

| 1. An auto-turret in the centre of the courtyard below. |
| |
| 2. A series of freight hooks around the top of the room. |
| |
| 3. A discount Dollar Bill vending machine at the top of the |
| stairs at the far end of the room. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Now as you can see, the courtyard is not empty. There are 4-5 veterans that we
can see, an enemy auto turret on the stairs at the back of the room and another
3-4 veterans who will enter the room (including an RPG gunner on the stairs)
once we begin our attack. For now, I recommend activating the freight hooks
and using them to jump across and down to the balconies on the left of the main
room without being detected. Next possess or destroy the auto turret on the
stairs. Finally bring in the friendly auto-turret and assist it in picking off
the enemies below. Note that there is an oil slick on the left hand side of the
room which may be of assistance in killing enemies more efficiently with a bit
of Devil’s Kiss.
Once the area is clear, hop down to the courtyard below and climb the stairs
at the back. At the top of said stairs there is another tear which can be used
by Elizabeth to bring in a discount Dollar Bill machine. It offers prices at
50% off their usual value, unfortunately the only upgrade on offer is:
[Discount Minuteman's Armory Machine]

Before entering the open doorway to the next room check out the KINETOSCOPE
‘The Lamb is the Future of the City’ (Kinetoscope 1/3) and KINETOSCOPE ‘Behold
the Miracle Child! A Prophecy is Fulfilled!’ (Kinetoscope 2/3) sitting either
side of the door frame. When ready, enter the next room.
As you enter, note the tears that we can get Elizabeth to open in this room.
________________________________________________________________

| |
| 3. A friendly auto-turret can be rought in on the right side of |

| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
After a short bit of rhetoric over the loud speaker, a new enemy will break
through the glass at the back of the room and attack you – the Motorized
Patriot.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Motorized Patriot \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The motorized patriots are one of the more difficult enemies you will |
| encounter in the game and are large, durable robotic automatons with a|
| large reserve of armour making them very resistant to damage, it also |
| means they will never seek cover and continue to proceed towards you |
| even in the face of gunfire. They are slow moving and are equipped |
| with the Peppermill Crank Gun – a minigun that can dish out enormous |
| amounts of damage due to its very high rate of fire. They can also |
| perform a devastating melee attack if you get in too close to them. |
| |
| The motorized patriot’s major weak point is the gears located in the |
| centre of its back. At this point, to reach the weak spot, your best |
| bet is to plant a trap to stun it and run around behind tthe patriot |
| or attempt to outmanoeuvre the patriot around one of the pillars. Note|
| that vigors that cause increased damage for your weapons such as |
| Murder of Crows and Devil’s Kiss will make life a little easier |
| against these guys. Once you obtain it, the Shock Jockey vigor is |
| also quite effective at chain stunning the patriots. |
| |
| The Patriots are automatons and as such have a colored indicator to |
| let you know what their status is at a glance. A green light indicates|
| that thePatriot has not seen you and will not attack. A yellow light |
| indicatesthat it has spotted you and is warning you to stop. Finally, |
| red status means that they have seen you and are attacking. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Motorized Patriot\
\_____________________________/
The motorised patriot will emerge from the glass case at the back of the room
and make its way over to you. Before it gets too far, get Elizabeth to bring
in the auto-turret on the right. Plant a trap or two to snare the patriot with
some damage over time (Devil’s kiss) or weapon damage bonus (Murder of Crows).
Now try to kite the patriot over to the left so that the turret can attack its
weak spot whilst the patriot chases you. If things get a little hectic, get
Elizabeth to bring in the health or salts as required.
Once the patriot is dead, check out the KINETOSCOPE ‘A City Mourns…’
(Kinetoscope 3/3) which is attached to the circular desk in the centre of the
room. Head over to the back left corner of the room and open the locked door
here. Inside you’ll find a safe we can open for a tidy sum of money (requires
5 lock picks).
Return to the gift shop and backtrack to the courtyard again.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Courtyard <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
You’ll notice things are a little different this time around. Slate and his
men are now occupying the area and will attack you in a series of waves. You
need to simply wipe them out to progress. Slate himself sits on the raised
balcony that we came in from the first time we came through the courtyard. He
has the Shock Jockey vigor equipped which gives him the ability to throw
electrified crystals that will damage you if you get too close to them and
will use these to limit your range of movement around the ground floor.
Additionally there are a number of tears that Elizabeth is able to open to
assist during the sequence.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Shotgun and ammo at the base of the stairs to the left. |
| |
| 2. Crate of Medical kits at the base of the stairs to the right. |
| |
| 3. Frieght Hooks allowing access to the upper balcony directly |
| above the foot of the stairs. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
I recommend using the freight hooks to access the upper balconies to the left
and right and using the high ground to your advantage. Between waves, take the
opportunity to hop down to ground level and refill that health if you need to
do so from the medical kit tear before returning up to higher ground.
After each wave is summoned, Slate will run out of the room, only returning
once you have killed them all. The first wave consists of 6 veterans who will
appear both in the courtyard at ground level and on the upper ledge on which
Slate is standing. The second wave of enemies will come from the door on the
left hand side of the ground floor and consist of 6 veterans and a fireman.
The third wave will enter from the left hand door on the upper balcony and
consists of a motorized patriot and 3-4 veterans.
Once the third wave has been defeated, Slate will open the right hand door on
the ground level for you. Drop down to the ground level and rather than
proceeding to the right, go through the door on the left (the door the second
wave came from). On the left side of the room is a work bench with a VOXOPHONE
‘A Soldier’s Death’ (Voxophone 1/1) on it. In the tool box behind this, you
can also locate an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) – note that you may need to
jump up on the table in order to find an angle from which to pick it up. On
the way out, hug the left wall and you can also grab a lock pick from behind
some crates.
Return to the courtyard and head through the door on the right side of the
room. Climb the stairs and continue along the path to the left. As you proceed,
more of those electrified crystals will be throw in your general direction to
block your passage and a group of 4 veterans will come down the stairs in the
distance. Clear them out before climbing the stairs they attacked from and
turn left. Enter the door at the end.
As you exit, walk over and interact with the body in the spotlight for a scene.
Make a decision during the scene (as far as I can tell the decision does not
matter story wise, but whether or not Slate appears later in the game depends
on the choice). After the scene, grab the Shock Jockey vigor from the ground
next to him.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Shock Jockey \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Shock Jockey vigor is one of the more useful vigors that you will |
| find in game. Hitting the vigor button will fire off a wave of |
| electricity that will shock any enemies within a short distance in |
| front of you and stun them for a short period of time. Holding down |
| the vigor button will allow you to fire off a trap that takes the form|
| of a series of crystals. Electricity will form networks between |
| crystals, creating a large field of damaging electricity when |
| upgraded. Again, these electricity traps have a chance to stun enemy |
| combatants. |
| |
| From here on in, you will occasionally come across pools or puddles of|
| water in the environment. Shooting off shock jockey into these pools |
| will damage or kill any enemies that get too close or stand in said |
| pool. |
| |
| When you acquire them, shock Jockey can be used in conjunction with |
| the Possession, Murder of Crows and Undertow vigors to perform |
| powerful combination attacks. |

Now that we have Shock Jockey, we can start back to the gondola. Backtrack
through the Hall of Heroes until we are back outside. On the way you will
encounter a pair of veterans in the Our Lady’s memorial exhibit and a Crow at
the rotunda. Once you reach the entrance, you will see that the door has now
closed. Use the salt machine to its left if you need salts and then shoot the
power conduit to the right with Shock Jockey to open the door.
Exit back to the plaza to complete the chapter.

Gear .................3 ] auto-turret) in the distance and then help it
________________________] clear up the rest of the plaza, there is also a
tear just to the left of the starting position if
you want a sniper rifle. Once the area is clear,
check out the rightmost section of the main building (opposite the Dollar Bill
vending machine). You will find another power conduit; hit this with Shock
Jockey to unlock the nearby door.
Climb the stairs here and do a 180 degree turn at the top, head to the end of
the walkway and grab the lock pick kit and gift containing a piece of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/3) from the table. Loot the rest of the balcony area
and head down to where the gondola is docked. Hop on to the sky-line to the
right of the gondola and ride it down to the nearby building. Here we’ll
encounter a new type of enemy – the rocketeer.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Rocketeer \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| These Founder soldiers are tougher than your standard run of the mill |
| soldier type. They are heavily armoured, so are more durable to not |
| only weapon damage, but explosive damage too. These guys are equipped |
| with RPGs and grenade launchers and are quite accurate. Traps and |
| headshots are the way to defeating these enemies. |
| |
| Note that vigors that cause increased damage for your weapons such as |
| Murder of Crows, Bucking Bronco and Devil’s Kiss will make life a |
| little easier against these guys. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Rocketeer \
\_____________________________/
The platform we land on has two tiers. There is a rocketeer and 4 soldiers on
the building itself and a second rocketeer and an additional 2-3 soldiers on a
floating barge docked on the far side of the building. There are two tears
that we can make use of here.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Friendly Motorized Patriot on the lower level. |
| |
| 2. Crate of Medical kits on the upper floor. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Have Elizabeth bring in the patriot and then hop back up to the sky-line and
attack the enemies on the upper level from above. When they are done, hop down
to the upper platform and use the ledge overlooking the barge to take down any
remaining enemies below. Once they are dead, loot the area, you can find a
lock pick beneath the stairs leading to the upper level on the side of the
building closest to the Hall of Heroes. When you are ready, jump onto the
barge and ride the sky-line here down to the platform below.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sky Road <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Back here again! This time around, you will have to kill the 5 soldiers and a
fireman that are now occupying the zone. The upper balcony of the ticket
building accessible via freight hooks on the left side of the area will
provide you with a nice vantage point over the area below. Remember that there
is also an oil spill here we can ignite (or have the fireman ignite) with
Devil’s Kiss which may help thin out numbers if you can get the standard
soldiers to fall for it.
Once the area is clear, backtrack through the building at the far end of the
area and kill the motorized patriot inside. Shocking it with Shock Jockey
constantly to stun it and unloading on it with an upgraded weapon with a fast
rate of fire (e.g Machine Gun, Carbine etc.) will take it down quite quickly.
Enter the elevator at the far end of the room and ride it back up to the
previous area.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Soldier’s Field <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After getting off the lift, use the Veni! Vidi! Vigor! vending machine to the
left if you require it before heading down the stairs in front. Note that we
are now able to use the sky-lines in this area. See the building with the
‘Hotel Soldier’s Field’ sign on it? Use the sky-line closest to this and the
freight hooks nearby to access a balcony on the upper level of this building
closest to the gondola platform.
Use the Shock Jockey vigor on the power conduit here to open the door. Proceed
inside here on a bed you can grab another VOXOPHONE ‘Calling You Out’
(Voxophone 1/1). On the bed stand nearby, there is a gift wrapped new piece of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 2/3). Look behind the nearby cabinet against the left
hand wall for a lock pick.
Exit the building and work your way over to the carousel. To the right of this
is a toy store you may have explored earlier. The door is now down, but
interacting with this will allow you access. Inside you will find another
power conduit. Hit this with Shock Jockey to open another locked door. Here
you will find another new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 3/3), a sniper rifle
(if you want one) and a bunch of containers to loot.
Exit back outside and make your way over to the gondola control lever. Before
we hit this, know that when we do, we’ll have to protect the switch against
an incoming horde of enemies. We also have an array of tears now scattered
around the environment that we can use to help defend. You can find them at
the following locations.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Automated turret on the roof of the Ice Cream Shoppe. |
| |
| 2. Piece of cover on the roof of the Ice Cream Shoppe. |
| |
| 3. Crate of medical Kits on the lower roof of the ‘Patriot’s |
| Pride Confections’ building. |
| |
| 4. Automated turret on the roof of the Toy Store. |
| |
| 5. Piece of cover on the roof of the Toy Store. |
| |
| 6. Friendly motorized patriot on the boardwalk next to the |
| carousel. |
| |
| 7. A sniper rifle and ammunition on one of the hover barges that |
| shows up once the sequence begins. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
All up there are around 10-15 soldiers, a pair of rocketeers and a motorized
patriot to deal with. In most cases, a good number of soldiers will hang out
on the roof of the Toy Store, more will use the barges and sky-lines to reach
the ground and approach the gondola controls. Two barges show up once you have
activated the gondola and each of these will act as a base of operations for a
rocketeer. Once the majority of enemies have been defeated, the motorized
patriot will activate and walk towards the gondola.
As such, the two most useful tears I found were the auto-turret on the roof of
the Toy Store (although it won’t last long) and the friendly motorized patriot
next to the carousel. Focus on killing the rocketeers first and then using a
sniper rifle from the barge (it’s a good vantage point with cover) to
eliminate the enemies below. Alternatively, you can go crazy on the sky-lines,
which is infinitely more fun, if not a little riskier.
Once all the enemies have been dealt with, go to the gondola and have
Elizabeth open the door. Grab the lock pick and some coins from a small
shelf to the left and then throw the lever to activate the gondola.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The First Lady’s Aerodrome <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After the gondola arrives, climb the stairs nearby and enter the main room.
Kill the 5 soldiers waiting for you in here. At the back of the room between
the two flights of stairs you can find a KINETOSCOPE ‘A City Mourns…’ this one
is a repeat of one we found in the Hall of Heroes, so will not count towards
your collectible totals. On the wall opposite this, behind a counter is a
Dollar Bill vending machine we can use to replenish salts/ammo/health if
required.
If you head back to the hallway we just entered from you will find a Veni!
Vidi! Vigor! and a Minuteman’s Armory vending machine. Neither has any new
upgrades, but you can upgrade your weapons using any existing ones if you
require. When you are ready to go, climb the stairs and enter the lift. Hit
the button to ride it up to a new area.
Run across the gangplank and enter the zeppelin at the end. As soon as you get
inside, turn right and grab the INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) from the table
here. Loot the rest of the room and then make your way over to the controls.
Interact with them for a scene. During the scene walk over and interact with
Elizabeth to complete the chapter.

Exit the building and turn left. Follow the set path to the main building and

the left. On a table at the back of the room on the right is a lock pick. Go
back down the stairs and work your way across the barges to the opposite side
of the docks from where we started.
There is a building marked ‘Employees only' here. Inside, behind a desk next
to a policeman you will find a gift wrapped piece of new EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear
1/1). Note that picking this up will turn all the police in the area hostile -
there are five of them, including the one in the building with you and they
will all come and try to melee you, so hang out inside until they are all
dead. Upon exiting the building, there will be three mosquitos (the floating
auto-turrets) patrolling the dock and although we have seen them before through
tears, this time we get to fight them as enemies. Here's a short description of
them:
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Mosquito \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| Mosquitos are similar to the auto-turrets and rocket auto-turrets |
| except instead of being locked in place, they are suspended from |
| balloons in the air, allowing them freedom of movement and a nice view|
| over any potential battlefield. |
| |
| Mosquitos, like the other forms of turrets are automatons and as such |
| have a colored indicator to let you their status is at a glance. The |
| green light indicates that it has not yet seen you and will not |
| attack. A yellow light indicates that the mosquito has spotted you and|
| is warning you to stop (if you duck out of sight at this point, they |
| will return to green). Finally, red status means that they have seen |
| you and is attacking. |
| |
| As with the auto-turrets mosquitos can be possessed with the |
| Possession vigor or brought in through tears to become a temporary |
| ally. This is useful for both distracting enemy units and adding |
| additional damage to yours. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Mosquito \
\_____________________________/
Once the mosquitos are destroyed, walk down the ramp and follow the dock to
the right. When you reach a point at which you can see the entrance to the
building on the right, look behind the red pillar on the left to find a lock
pick. Proceed into the building and exit out the far side.
This leads us to the next chapter.

soldiers in the courtyard below, there are 6 of them initially and one or two
of them will use the sky-lines to come up and try to melee you. After they
have been dealt with, a barge will appear to the right with a rocketeer and an

When you are ready to continue, go through the next door to Finkton Proper.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Finkton Proper <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you enter the building, turn to the left. At the end of the hall here you
will see a Veni! Vidi! Vigor! vending machine (no new upgrades yet). On the
wall to the left of this is a KINETOSCOPE ‘The Path of the Vox Populi…’
(Kinetoscope 1/1). Follow the path around until you reach the main room. When
you arrive, enter the open door behind the counter on the left. On a desk in
here you will find a VOXOPHONE ‘A Product Like Any Other’ (Voxophone 1/2).
There is also a lock pick jammed into one of the desk’s drawers.
Exit the office and head to the left. Follow the wall to the office we just
exited all the way around to the far side of the room. Here you will find a
door that Elizabeth can open (requires 5 lock picks). Inside there is an
INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) on a desk. There is also a new weapon – the
volley gun on another desk at the far end of the room if you wish to grab one.
Go back out to the main hall and approach the elevator. It’s not going
anywhere. Look to the left or the right to see stairs on both sides of the
room behind the elevator. Climb down either of these (it makes no difference,
they go to the same place) and have Elizabeth pick the door here.
Follow the platform out into the next room and look down at the room below.
There are around 10-12 policemen and a motorized patriot we will need to
destroy before we can continue. Whilst they have not yet noticed you, drop a
trap or two down there to thin out the numbers (or possess the motorized
patriot if you have the upgraded Possession).
Once everything is dead, descend to the lower level. The elevator we need is
marked by the door signed ‘employees only’. Instead of heading in there right
away, look opposite. There is an office here with a Dollar Bill vending machine
to its right and a Minuteman’s Armory vending machine (no new upgrades yet) to
its left. Inside the office, there is a safe that Elizabeth can open (requires
1 lock pick) for some money.
Head over to the left of the elevator room and look in the corner for a lock
pick. Enter the room with the elevator and loot the desks. There is a lock
pick on the rightmost desk in the room. Before entering the elevator, check
out the lockers to the right of it. Inside the open locker is a VOXOPHONE
‘Seed of a Lie’ (Voxophone 2/2).
Call the elevator and when it arrives, enter and hit the button to ride it
down to the next area. About halfway down, the lift will stop. Interact with
the phone on the wall to continue.
After exiting the lift, loot the table in front of you for a lock pick, some
money and a new weapon – the hand cannon. Speak to the guy next to the door
and he will open it for you. This will start the next chapter.

Gear .................2 ] it if you like, and then from the entrance, turn
________________________] to the right. Go down the stairs and follow the
right hand wall until you find a doorway leading
out to a small wooden dock area overlooking the
clouds.
There is a locked door here that Elizabeth can open (requires 1 lock pick) and
a lock pick kit on the crate to the right of the door. Inside the door you’ll
find another Vox cipher that will give you an optional task. There is also a
lock pick to grab on a desk on the left hand side of the room. We can’t do
anything else for now, so loot if you will and then exit back to the main plaza
area.
Use the freight hooks to jump up to the low roof surrounding the central
building and have a look around, you’ll find a volley gun, a lock pick and
hidden away behind the Chen-Lin sign, you will find a sniper rifle and gift
box containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/2). Return to the ground.
Head back past where the auction was going on earlier and go round the left
side of the building. Locate the door on the right here leading into the cental
building and go inside. On the table directly in front is a VOXOPHONE ‘We’ve
Need of a Shepherd’ (Voxophone 1/2). Enter the door behind the counter to the
left.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chen-Lin’s Shop <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Once inside the shop, find the stairs and climb to the very top of the area.
Loot the area here; there is a lock pick on the bench on the opposite side of
the machinery. After a few moments, Elizabeth will say something about
“someone being downstairs”. Head back down the stairs and talk with the woman
blocking your way.
After the conversation, head back downstairs and go through the door.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Plaza of Zeal <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Exit the shop and look to the right. Those police that were guarding the
roadblock are no longer there. Approach the road block and a new enemy will
appear – the handyman.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Handyman \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Handymen are one of the most difficult enemies you will encounter |
| during your time in Columbia. They are large, golem-like enemies that |
| are incredibly strong, very fast and extremely durable to damage. The |
| handymen can leap large distances to close ground between you and |
| them very quickly. They will always remain unarmed and will often try |
| to get in close to DeWitt in order to unleash a charge or melee |
| attack. |
| |
| In addition, they are smart enough to occasionally take cover and |
| will throw other enemy units or electricity bolts at you if you are |
| out of reach. Even sky-lines are not safe for long with handymen |
| around as they can jump up onto a sky-line and electrify it, causing |
| significant damage if you are attached at the time. |
| |
| The handyman’s weak spots are its large glowing heart in the centre |
| of its torso and its head. Using traps to stun them does work and |
| the Shock Jockey/Undertow vigors can be mildly effective at |
| temporarily stunning them, but the safest tactic is to kite them |
| around and when you are a safe distance, turn around, shoot them a |
| few times and run off again. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Handyman \

Once you have killed the handyman, grab the present that he drops for a new
piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 2/2). Now let’s head back to the left side of
the main building and approach that police roadblock again. Destroy the
auto-turret behind it and enter the door to the left of it for a Veni! Vidi!
Vigor! vending machine (no new upgrades yet). Also in the adjacent room is a
red tear playing some contemporary music.
Exit the building and go through the gate behind the roadblock. That’s the
Good Time Club on the left and we need to go there. Ignore it for now and
continue through the opposite gate. Shoot the auto turret here. Look slightly
to the left. See the Dollar Bill vending machine? Run over to this and
continue to follow the wall past it until you find a VOXOPHONE ‘The Invisible
Color’ (Voxophone 2/2) on the ground near some boxes against a wall.
When you are ready to continue, return through the gate and enter the Good
Time Club.

Gear .................1 ] a Minuteman’s Armory vending machine if you
________________________] require it. When ready, continue through the
door here.
You are now in a large room with a balcony running around to the left. The
downstairs area below has a number of tables and a raised stage that occupies
the far end of the room and also has a walkway that protrudes into the centre
of the room. There are three tears in this area that Elizabeth use can help
you out during the next gameplaysequence.
________________________________________________________________

| |
| 3. Volley Gun and ammo on a small raised area on the left hand |
| side of the ground level. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
The room plays out in a series of waves. During each waves you must defeat all
of the enemies in the room in order to continue. There are three waves in
total. During this sequence, you’ll be introduced to a new type of enemy –
Fink Applicants.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Fink Applicant \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| As with the policemen or the cultists we faced early on in the game, |
| the applicants are yet another type of standard fodder enemies present|
| in Bioshock Infinite. They only appear during the Plaza of Zeal areas |
| of the game and are usually equipped with pistols, shotguns and melee |
| weapons. They are relatively weak, with a few shots from a pistol or |
| a melee swing or two killing them. A headshot will result in an |
| instant kill against these guys. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Fink Applicant \
\_____________________________/
In first wave waves the enemies will emerge from the curtains on the stage at
the back of the room. As such, be sure to plant a trap in front of the curtain
before it starts to make things a little quicker. The first wave consists of
6-7 applicants and a fireman. The second wave consists of 6 applicants and a
Crow; they will enter the room from the inaccessible balcony on the right side
of the room. The final wave consists of a patriot who will spawn at the end of
the stage projecting into the lower room, an auto-turret and three mosquitos.
Once the room below is clear, drop down and get looting! From the end of the
stage that is jutting into the room, look straight ahead to find a short
hallway with a Veni! Vidi! Vigor! vending machine (no new upgrades yet). To the
left of this is a KINETOSCOPE ‘The First Lady’ (Kinetoscope 2/3). Behind you,
explore the toilet on the left for a lock pick and loot the other too if you
like.
Exit the short hallway and turn right to find a Dollar Bill vending machine.
To the right of this is a door we can go through. Inside you can grab an
INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) from the bar and a lock pick from under one of
the tables. Loot the rest of the room and return to the stage area.
Go through the opening in the curtain and exit the stage via the door here.
On the dresser to the left as you enter there is a VOXOPHONE ‘Changing My Tune’
(Voxophone 1/2). Continue through the next door.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Good Time Club Basement <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
At the bottom of the stairs, kill the two soldiers and enter the door to the
left for a lock pick. Return and continue through the other open door when you
are ready. Have Elizabeth unlock the door in here.
Enter the now unlocked door and kill the two soldiers inside. Check out the
stack of crates to the right of the circular chamber with the burning coals
in it for a VOX CODEBOOK (this is for that Vox Code we saw earlier). Continue
through the open door, through the projector room (looting as you please) and
out the other door on the far side.
You will now be in a corridor that stretches to the left with a number of
cells lining either side. Before proceeding in that direction, look on the
nearby stool for a VOXOPHONE ‘His Design for Cruelty’ (Voxophone 2/2) there is
also a lock pick on the floor below it. Continue down the hallway and kill the
Founder soldiers patrolling here.
At the far end of the hall are doors to cells 8 and 9. The door to cell 8 can
be unlocked at the expense of 5 lock picks and contains a gift with a new piece
of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1) in it. Exit and have Elizabeth unlock cell 9. Go
on in.
Loot the table here if you like and then climb all the way down the stairs
until you reach the bottom. Check out the table to the right of the open cell
for a lock pick and then enter the cell itself. Head over to the lit up light
switch at the back of the room. Hit the button. Interact with the body in the
chair for a scene. Afterwards interact with the tear.
Backtrack through the basement, noting all of the changes as you go and climb
back up the stairs to the dressing room.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Good Time Club <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Exit the dressing room onto the stage, go out from the curtain and you’ll see
8 soldiers waiting for you on the ground floor. Eliminate them all before
heading up one of the sets of stairs. Work your way over to where we initially
entered the stage room the first time around and go through the door.
Note that whilst the Minuteman’s Armory vending machine is still here, the
KINETOSCOPE has moved from its left hand side to the right hand side. Go and
grab it for KINETOSCOPE ‘Gun-smith Set Free’ (Kinetoscope 3/3). Go down the
stairs and exit back to the Plaza of Zeal.

| As with the rocketeer, these Founder soldiers are tougher than your |

| These guys are equipped with grenade launchers and are quite accurate.|
| |
| Using cover whilst advancing and planting headshots are the fastest |
| way to defeating these enemies. Sticking vigor effects on them that |
| increase weapon damage (e.g. Murder of Crows, Bucking Bronco) is also |
| a good way to whittle away their health a little quicker. |

| |
| 1. A volley gun about half way up the street. |
| |
| 2. A crate of medical kits in the wooden dock area in the far |

| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
To deal with the bad guys, you can take cover, or use the freight hooks to
jump up to the low roof surrounding the central building and pick off enemies
from the vantage point that the elevated position affords you here.
After clearing the initial group of enemies, pass the police barricade and
continue up the street another 14-15 soldiers will appear from both sides
around the central building. So take cover and deal with them as they come. If
you follow the road around to the right, there is also an auto-turret on the
far side of the main building. Once the area is clear, it’s time to complete
the optional mission I mentioned earlier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you wish to unlock the ‘Infused with Greatness’ and 'Eavesdropper'
achievement/trophy you must complete the following optional task. As we

After the conversation, head back downstairs and go through the door.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Plaza of Zeal <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Once you are back outside, turn left and go back around the front of the main
building. Great, there are another 7 soldiers here waiting for us! Watch out
as the enemies will use the auction platform and the stairs to the right to
try and get a vantage point on you if you let them. Also note that one or two
will try to sneak around the back of the central building to attack you from
behind. There is a one more soldier out by the door to the optional task we
completed earlier and you can go and kill him if you like.
Once the area is clear of hostiles, head down the road towards the Good Time
Club. Look for the building with the ‘Shantytown’ sign on the right side of
the street. Go into the door here. Inside you will find a Dollar Bill and
Veni! Vidi! Vigor! vending machine. Use them if you want (no new vigor upgrades
here yet) and then use the lever opposite.
Head on through the now accessible door.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Path to Shantytown <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
From where you are standing, you should be able to see a few Founder Soldiers
standing around ahead; there are five of them in total and a rocketeer who is
standing on the raised platform straddling the centre of the area. They will
not attack right away, so have a look at the three tears that Elizabeth can
use here.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. A freight hook on the left side of the area. |
| |
| 2. A piece of cover directly in front of you. |
| |
| 3. A friendly auto-turret on the boardwalk of the adjacent |
| building on the right. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Use the cover first so that you can kill the rocketeer from safety (and any
other soldiers who venture too close) and then activate the friendly auto
turret to help you mop up the remaining enemy forces. Once it is safe to do
so, check out the open door on the adjacent building behind the auto-turret
tear for a Minuteman’s Armory if you wish to upgrade some weaponry. Or, keep
on going along the bridge.
Climb the stairs at the end and go around the large wall here. As soon as you
reach the other side, look towards the middle of the room to spot an office.
Go inside and loot the desks. There is a hand cannon on one and a lock pick
on the floor between two of them. You will also see a vigor locked up behind
bars at the back of this room. We can’t get this yet, but remember that it is
there for the trip back!
Exit the office and climb the nearby steps. Enter the elevator here and press
the button to descend to Shantytown.

Telescopes............1 ] the vocal preacher and continue onwards until you
Infusion Upgrades.....1 ] reach a railing. In the distance, you can see a
Gear .................1 ] sign reading ‘The Graveyard Shift’. Turn to the
________________________] left and follow the railing until you come across
a couple of hostile citizens. When they attack,
kill them and grab the INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) that was sitting on the
crate behind them.
Now work your way over to the Graveyard Shift bar, note that on the way there
is a lock pick in the water coming from the pipe to the left at the bottom of
the stairs. Kill some more hostile citizens out front before entering the
Graveyard shift bar.
As you enter, you’ll find one of each of the three types of vending machines:
Veni! Vidi! Vigor!, Minuteman’s Armory and Dollar Bill (there are no new
upgrades on sale in any of them). There is also a lock pick on the ground to
the right of the Minuteman’s Armory vending machine.
Go through the door to the right of the bar and climb down the stairs to the
basement. Approach the guitar propped up against the chair here for a cool
scene. When you are done, look on the bench nearby for a VOXOPHONE ‘Fanning a
Flame’ (Voxophone 1/2). Against the back wall you will find an overturned
crate with a lock pick inside and just next to this a barrel with a set of
KEYS on top. Grab the KEYS to start an optional mission.
Exit the bar and climb the stairs back up to the main level. Turn left and
follow the street. At the top of the next set of stairs, have Elizabeth use
the tear on the street at the foot of the stairs when she points it out. Go
down the short alley to the left and pick up the lock pick behind the flaming
barrel. Head down the aforementioned stairs and follow the street to the left.
After the singing children, look behind the wall for a lock pick and continue
onwards until you reach the end of the slum area. Climb the stairs to the
left, heading past the stockade and through the gate beyond.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Bull Yard <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you enter, you should spy a gift box at the base of a broken vending machine
on your right. Grab this for a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1). Edge
down the stairs slightly and you will see a good number of soldiers in the
courtyard below. Look up to the left. Hop up to the freight hook here and drop
down to the upper ledge here. There is a sniper rifle on the crate here if you
want one. A little further along the railing is a TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1);
use this to add it to your collectible count!
From the ledge here, survey the area. Directly in front of you across a gap is
the police impound where we need to go. Note the pair of large rocket turrets
above and flanking either side of the main gate. We need to destroy those.
There is a pair of sky-lines linking your current platform with the impound
building across the abyss and between them are three buildings that we can play
around with. The left hand building has a rooftop area, the central building
has a small platform with a few pillars for cover and the right hand building
has a lower platform and an upper platform.
But first, a little info about the large rocket turrets!
______________________________
/ New Enemy:Large Rocket Turret\__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| We'll only encounter the large rocket turrets a few times during the |
| game, but they are quite a formiddable force when you do encounter |
| them. They appear as large, bronze/copper objects featuring a number |
| of barrels that can quickly loose numerous rockets in your direction. |
| As they can burn a large amount of ground in mere seconds, it is |
| important to either find some good cover or keep moving (sky-lines are|
| great for this) when you encounter them. |
| |
| In addition to wall mounted turrets, these can also be found on the |
| underside of some zeppelins and gunships. On these vehicles, |
| destroying the large rocket turret will also destroy the vehicle. |
| |
| They are susceptible to most weapon fire, but the RPG or Volley |
| Gun/Hail Fire do the most damage. |
| |
| Unlike other automatons, this form of turret is not susceptible to |
| the Possession vigor. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/New Enemy:Large Rocket Turret\
\_____________________________/
This is a sizaeable combat area and as such, there are a number of tears that
we can get Elizabeth to use for us to make things a little easier. They are in
the following locations.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. RPG and ammo on the top floor of the right hand building. |
| |
| 2. Mosquito patrolling back and forward close to the right hand |
| building. |
| |
| 3. Crate of medical kits on the lower floor of the right hand |
| building. |
| |
| 4. Sniper rifle and ammo on ledge of central building. |
| |
| 5. Friendly rocket auto-turret on the left building rooftop. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Unfortunately, in addition to the two rapid firing rocket launcher turrets on
the building, there are also a tonne of soldiers (15-20 of them) running
around as well, so we should deal with them first. I’d recommend grabbing the
sniper rifle from nearby if you haven’t already!
Attack the soldiers in the courtyard below you, there will be 5-6 of them.
Once they are clear, hop down and run over to the edge. Take the sky-line
leading to the top of the right building. Have Elizabeth phase in the RPG.
Once you have it, spawn in the mosquito for some support and use the walls of
the upper floor here as cover. From here we can use the RPG to shoot up the
rocket turrets on the face of the impound building from relative safety. Having
said that, ensure that you keep your eyes (and ears) open for enemies
approaching via sky-lines and deal with them if they land to attack you.
Once both rocket turrets have been destroyed, have Elizabeth phase in the
friendly auto-turret or the mosquito to help you out and shift your attention
to the enemy auto-turret on the lower level of the impound building.Afterwards,
switch back to the sniper rifle and pick off the enemies on the balconies out
in front of the impound and firing at you from other rooftops (alternatively
you can choose the more fun option of flying around on the sky-lines and
wiping out any soldiers you see).
After killing the vast majority, a motorised patriot will appear on the lower
platform of the impound building. Finish him off to clear the way into the
impound.
Before entering, take a sky-line back up to the upper level on the right (where
the RPG tear is) and in a small niche in the covered area you will find a
VOXOPHONE ‘Trapped’ (Voxophone 2/2). Take a sky-line down and jump over to the
lower platform of the compound, climb the stairs and have Elizabeth unlock the
door.
Head on through to end the chapter.

The first thing you will see inside the door is a tear. That’s right, there’s
another fight to be had in this room as well! The main floor of this room has
open office to the right and in front, a pair of stairs leading down either

|__________________________________________________________________|
You are going to want to create the cover right away because as soon as you
move into the room slightly, you will be attacked and from behind it you can
take pretty much every standard enemy on the ground floor out. There are 5-6
soldiers on the ground level and a further 1-2 taking pot shots at you from
the upper walkway. Once you have dealt with the initial threats here, a
motorized patriot will show up. As usual kite him around using your vigors to
stun or slow his movements. When he has been dealt with, head upstairs and
clear out the balcony and side rooms, there will be no more than 1-2 soldiers
in each.
Now that the area is clear of bad guys go into the door to the left at the top
of the stairs. There is a locked door in here Elizabeth can unlock (requires 5
lock picks) that contains an UPGRADE INFUSION (Infusion 1/2) and a gift
containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1). Continue along the upper
level and enter the next door you come across. Duck into the small office on
the back left. Inside you’ll find a lock pick on the floor as you enter and a

Loot the rest of the top floor and then head back down the stairs to the lower
level. Make your way over to the stairs leading down on the far left side of
the room. Near the top of these you will find an open door. Under a desk in
here is another VOXOPHONE ‘Terminated’ (Voxophone 2/3). Loot the rest of the
ground floor and then go down the stairs at the back.
Get Elizabeth to unlock the door here and follow the stairs all the way to the
bottom. As you reach the end of the stairs, check out the cell in front for a
lock pick on the floor. Loot the rest of the cells here before going to
investigate the large, locked up piece of machinery in the centre of the room.
There is a tear here. When you are ready to continue, have Elizabeth open it
for you.
Once the scene finishes, go back up the stairs. At the top you will find a
VOXOPHONE ‘Kindling’ (Voxophone 3/3) on a desk that was not previously there.
Grab this and then continue backtracking until you leave the compound.

Head behind the office and we’ll be back in familiar territory. From where you
are standing, you should be able to see a few Founder Soldiers standing around
ahead; there are five of them in total including a sniper who is standing on
the raised platform straddling the centre of the area. Additionally there is a
rocketeer on a barge hovering above the right of the platform. They will not
attack right away, so have a look at the three tears that Elizabeth can use
here.
________________________________________________________________

| 1. A freight hook on the right side of the area. |
| |
| 2. A piece of cover on the far side of the area. |
| |
| 3. A friendly auto-turret on the boardwalk of the adjacent |
| building on the left. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Activate the friendly auto-turret and whilst the soldiers are distracted, take
out the sniper and any other infantry at ground level before focusing on the
rocketeer. To make things easier, you can have Elizabeth phase in the freight
hook and from here you can jump to the barge and try out your new charge vigor
on him!
When the area is clear, enter the door at the end. Inside, you can use the
Dollar Bill and Veni! Vidi! Vigor vending machines if you require them. Throw
the lever opposite to access the previous area. When you are able, go through
the door back to the Plaza of Zeal.

Upon going through the door you will see a number of Founder soldiers ahead
and to the left. Fortunately you have several allies who will help you
eliminate them. Follow the street uphill to the left and take out any soldiers

________________________] as there are numerous enemies guarding the way. As
you enter the area, there are a set of three
auto-turrets just ahead that you will need to
attend to before proceeding. Up the stairs behind these are another 4-5 Founder
soldiers.
Once they are dead, climb the stairs behind the destroyed turrets. At the top
you will see that further in the distance is a motorized patriot, a couple of
additional soldiers and another pair of turrets. Behind them is the gate we
want to get to. You can’t see it from here but at the base of the right hand
side of the gate is an oil slick we can use Devil’s Kiss on to help with the
standard soldier types if they get too close to it. Additionally, at this
point there are three tears we can get Elizabeth to manipulate for us.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. A crate of medical kits on the left side of the bridge. |
| |
| 2. A friendly rocket auto-turret in the centre of the bridge. |
| |
| 3. A piece of cover in the centre of the bridge below the |
| friendly auto-turret. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Use the tears as you see fit, although I’d use the rocket turret personally to
assist in drawing fire and then the piece of cover below when the turret is
destroyed. Take out the turrets and the patriot and work your way over to the
locked gate they were guarding. Finish off any remaining Founder soldiers on
the platform here. As your buddies work to open the gate, a new challenger
appears! You are now going to have to take out that security zeppelin to
continue.
Run over and jump on the sky-line beneath it and ride it all the way around
until you are able to land on a section of the zeppelin itself. Drop down and
kill the soldier here. Use the nearby short section of wall to take out the
auto-turret and the enemy soldiers below before dropping down to the main
platform. Follow the wooden platform to the end and enter the main cabin.
There is a motorized patriot and four soldiers in here to deal with. Three
soldiers and the patriot stay at ground level, whilst a fourth soldier will
hang out on a raised platform at the back and shoot at you from here. There
is an RPG propped up against the control panels at the front of the ship if you
want to use that. Try to eliminate the soldiers first before dealing with the
patriot as you deem appropriate.
When the room is clear, approach the circular chamber at the back of the room
and interact with it to destroy the engine. Now run back outside and hop onto
a sky-line, be sure to watch the fireworks as you zoom away!
When you are ready, hop down to the bridge and go through the now opened gate.
Climb the stairs to the top. Just at the top of the stairs, be sure to use the
TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1) in order to add it to your collectible count and then
enter the nearby door.

After getting off the lift you will notice that your allies are your allies no

______________________________
/ New Enemy: Vox Soldiers \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Vox soldiers are almost identical to the Founder soldiers except |
| they are equipped with Vox weapon variants instead. As such they are a|
| more advanced version of the standard fodder enemies such as the |
| policemen and Fink applicants that we encountered earlier and a little|
| harder to kill. They are more heavily armoured, making them a little |
| more resistant to weapon damage and are also equipped with more |
| advanced weapons including repeaters and burst guns. |
| |
| As with the regular Founder soldiers, the Vox soldiers will take cover|
| and try to kill you from safety and will run between cover to get a |
| better angle on your position. As with the previous enemy types, aim |
| for the head and stay in cover to deal with these guys in a |
| time-effective manner. |

| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Vox Soldiers \

After killing the Vox soldiers, enter the side room to the left. As you enter,
you’ll find one of each of the three types of vending machines: Veni! Vidi!
Vigor!, Minuteman’s Armory and Dollar Bill. There is a gift hidden on the

When you are ready to keep on going, return to the main room and turn left.
When you reach the door to the next area, look on the chalkboard to the right
to find a VOXOPHONE ‘A Child Needs a Protector’ (Voxophone 1/2). Look at the
body in front of the door. From this you should be able to find a new vigor –
undertow.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Undertow \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Undertow vigor is one of my personal favourites. Hitting the vigor|
| button will create a burst of water directly in front of you pushing |
| any enemies within range to the floor (think Jedi force push!). This |
| is incredibly effective when standing close to the edge of a railing |
| or when taking on enemies aboard barges as the push can send them |
| toppling over the edge to their deaths. |
| |
| The secondary fire is performed by holding the vigor button down |
| whilst targeting enemies. It creates a watery tendril that will grab |
| them, draw them to you and hold them in front of you. Releasing the |
| button will have them fall to the floor, but whilst they are suspended|
| they will take additional damage from your weapons. |
| |
| Undertow's primary (button press) ability can be used on turrets to |
| temporarily short circuit them. it can also stun handymen. |
| |
| Undertow can be used in conjunction with Shock Jockey for a powerful |
| (and quite lethal) combination attack. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Vigor: Undertow \
\_____________________________/
Now that we have all we need, loot the rest of the room and then have Elizabeth
pick the lock on the nearby door. Continue through to the next area. Run up
the stairs in front to watch a scene through the window. Afterwards all hell
will break loose.
This area can be quite difficult. The clock tower is situated in the centre of
the zone and there is an upper and lower walkway surrounding it. There are
larger circular platforms on either side of the clock tower both at the entry
and directly opposite and a sky-line circling the area. There is also a raised
platform at the top of the sky-line opposite the entry. There is a pair of
tears we can get Elizabeth to utilise in the area.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. A Sniper rifle and ammo on the raised platform on the far |
| side of the room. |
| |
| 2. A Tesla coil trap on the large circular platform at the far |
| side the room. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
As the scene ends, a barge will appear from the left laden with 4-5 Vox
soldiers and a Vox Rocketeer. Use the sky-line to ride around whilst shooting
them or head to the raised platform at the back for a sniper rifle to pick
them off (alternatively you can leap onto their barge when it gets into range
and use Undertow to push them all over the edge at once!). Afterwards things
will get a little more hectic.
I counted 24 Vox soldiers, a fireman and a handyman that need to be killed
before you can continue. Initially the game will throw a few Vox soldiers at
you in groups of 3-4 at a time and once you have killed around 10-12 of them,
the handyman will show up. The fireman will show up once you kill around 18-20
of them. Obviously, once the heavy hitters show up, it becomes a lot more
difficult!
My tactic was to have Elizabeth activate the tesla coil tear and then use the
sky-line to travel between the two larger platforms on either side of the
clock tower, drop down, kill a few enemies and wait for the handyman to
approach and then sky-line back to the opposite circular platform, drop down,
kill a few enemies and repeat. Doing this means you will not spend a long
enough period of time on the sky-line to warrant the handyman using his
electrical powers to zap you and you should be able to focus on killing the
soldiers and the fireman in turn before focusing your attention to the main
threat – the handyman.
When it comes down to a one on one with the handyman, at this point you can
once again activate the tesla coil and kite him around the far platform so
that the tesla coil can help you out whilst you fight it. Other than that its
stun and heart shots all the way!
Once the handyman is dead, look out for the gift he drops. It contains a new
piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 3/3). Go to the far platform and find the
TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1) on the railing. Use this so that is counted towards
your collectibles.
Return to the clock tower and head up to the other window for another short
scene. Interact with the piece of the wall to the left of the window. Head
back to the window and interact with it for yet another scene. Once the door
opens, approach Elizabeth and interact with her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: At this point, you will unlock the achievement/trophy ‘Working Class
Hero’.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Afterwards, before following Elizabeth through the door straight ahead, check
out the door to the left to find an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1) on a table
and inside the door to the right you will find a VOXOPHONE ‘Apology’ (Voxophone
2/2). Return to the central room and enter the door Elizabeth walked through
previously.
Make your way down the hallway and enter the airship docked at the end. Upon
entering, loot the area and then interact with the door on the right.
Afterwards, head over to the controls at the front of the ship and use the
action button to set a course. During the scene, interact with the controls
once more as necessary to end the chapter.

be opened.
________________________________________________________________

| |
| 1. A piece of cover at the far end of the next bridge. |

| 3. A water puddle near the door to the station. |
| |
| 4. Crate of medical kits at the end of the tunnel past the |

|__________________________________________________________________|
There are 6-7 Vox soldiers here now and additional barges will show up and
drop off another 10-12 soldiers and some rocketeers once you start your attack.
Your best bet is to keep your distance and use the mosquito to help eliminate
a few enemies. If you need to approach, cross the bridge and have Elizabeth
phase in the cover here. If you feel like it, you can have Elizabeth phase in
the puddle of water and toss a Shock jockey trap onto it to kill any enemies
that touch it (although you are likely to get mown down in the process).
Once the area is clear of baddies, head for the door to the station. Look
under the cart to the right of the door for a lock pick. When you are ready to
continue, make your way over to the door to have Elizabeth unlock it.
Continue inside.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Port Prosperity <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As soon as you enter Port Prosperity station, Look behind you and up above the
entrance to find a tear to bring in a frieght hook. Have Elizabeth phase this
in and hop up to it. From here look for a nearby platform with a gift box
containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1).
Drop back to the ground floor and turn to the right to spy a locked gate.Have
Elizabeth pick the lock here (requires 3 lock picks). Inside you will find a
new weapon – the Heater and at the far end of a hallway in a metal tub you will
also be able to grab an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 1/1). In the main lobby,

3 Vox soldiers around the first corner and continue until you are back
outside. Below is a gondola platform and in the distance you will see the
gondola headed your way. Observant players will have noticed that there are a
couple of tears here, which can mean only one thing – another fight is coming
up!

Activate either of the tears which will help you out once the gondola arrives.
You should also consider planting a trap or two on either side of the docking
area to speed up the fight. As the gondola arrives, 3-4 Vox soldiers and a
motorized patriot will emerge. Eliminate the enemies.
Before proceeding, look on the right hand side of the gondola station for a

machines if you require them (although they do not feature any new additional
upgrades as yet).
Continue down the hallway to the right of the vending machines. Around three
quarters of the way up the hallway, look out for a chest on the left with a
corpse on it. There is a VOXOPHONE ‘Coming for Comstock’ (Voxophone 1/5) on
the floor below the chest and a lock pick on the chest next to the body. Follow
the hallway until it exits into a larger room. Ignore the stairs for the moment
and enter the ticketing office on the left. There is a safe in here Elizabeth

(requires 3 lock picks).
Enter the Salty Oyster. There is a group of three Founder soldiers in here who
will attack as you move inside. Once they are dead, check out the right side
of the room.
In the corner closest to the window on the floor next to a chest is a lock
pick. Turn around and beneath one of the tables here is a gift box containing a
new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/2). Continue past the Minuteman’s Armory
vending machine and between the two bathrooms you will find a KINETOSCOPE
‘Lutece’s Brother Arrives in Columbia!’ (Kinetoscope 1/1). There is an RPG in
the furthest toilet if you want one. Loot the rest of the bar and head back
outside.
Climb the stairs here and use Elizabeth to bring in the tear at the top for a
friendly auto-turret. Proceed into the room ahead and kill the 4 Vox soldiers
and the fireman inside. There is another Minuteman’s Armory vending machine
at the back right of the room. Climb the stairs at the back of the room to
enter a large open room.
As you reach the top of the stairs you’ll see a group of Vox soldiers and a
motorized patriot. If you have some salts, possess the patriot and help it
murder its friends. After this initial fight a whole bunch of additional
enemies are going to enter the room. If we take a quick look around you will
see that there is a large open area in front with raised walkways on the left
and right hand side of the area with stairs leading up from both the back and
each side. There are a number of tears we can utilise here to help us out.

Another 20-22 Vox soldiers and 2 firemen will spawn in the area and come to
attack you. They will come from both the left and the right and from both sets
of stairs at the back end of the room. As such, you should stay near where you
entered the room and have Elizabeth switch between phasing in the pair of tesla
coil traps to hit enemies when they get close whilst using your vigors and
weapons to pick off the other enemies.
When no more enemies come your way, cautiously work your way up to the far side
of the room, eliminating any further resistance as you go.
Once the room is clear, look back to where you entered the area. There is a
ticket office to both the left and the right of the stairs. The office on the
right contains a safe Elizabeth can unlock (requires 3 lock picks) for some
coins and a small store room near it that contains a VOXOPHONE ‘Whispers
Through the wall’ (Voxophone 2/5). The left hand office doesn’t have much of
interest although inside the small store room within you will find a lock pick.
Loot the rest of the large room (there are plenty of bodies about!). When you

| 1. A piece of cover in the centre of the floor in front of you. |
| |
| 2. A freight hook on the back wall of the room near the roof. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Spawn the cover and hide behind it as you kill the sniper on the raised walkway
above and his Vox soldier buddy that will jump down to the ground level to
attack you. Afterwards you can use the freight hook at the back of the room to
jump up to the walkway to find a Minuteman’s Armory vending machine if you
require it.
Note that the turnstile at the end of this room takes us to the next area, but
before we do that there is some looting and an optional task to do! Beneath
the raised walkway, there is an open door to the left. At the back of this area
is a locked door with a sign for ‘Founders Bookstore’, there is also a Veni!
Vidi! Vigor! and a Dollar bill vending machine nearby.
Have Elizabeth unlock the door to the Founder’s Bookstore (requires 1 lock
pick). As you enter look to the right. On a counter beside a teddy bear you
will find a VOXOPHONE ‘A Window’ (Voxophone 3/5). Turn around and look on the
central counter for a gift containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear
2/2). Now go down the stairs at the back of the store.
After entering the basement, you will hear some enemies saying “check the
basement”. Four Vox soldiers will come down the stairs behind you. So finish
them off before exploring the area. In the centre of the room you will find a
VOXOPHONE ‘Sally’ (Voxophone 4/5). This VOXOPHONE will also give you an
optional objective – Investigate the Bar.
Exit the book store and return to the previous room. There are four new Vox
soldiers hanging out in here. Kill them all. Now let’s do the optional task.
This one will net us our eighth and final vigor a little bit early and give us
another INFUSION UPGRADE to boost those base stats. If you are not interested
in doing it, skip down below the optional walkthrough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you wish to unlock the ‘Infused with Greatness’ and 'Eavesdropper'
achievement/trophy you must complete this optional task.

| |
| Remember the Salty Oyster bar that we explored earlier? We need to work|
| our way back there. As we go through the large open area where we had |
| the massive gunfight earlier there will be a pair of Vox grenadiers in |
| the area. Feel free to use the pair of tesla coil traps once again to |
| help you out. Once they are clear, continue down the stairs. |
| |
| Go through the next room, down the hallway and hop over the ledge to |
| the room below. Head into the Salty Oyster and go over to the bar on |
| the left. Look beneath the cash register for a previously non-existent |
| button here. Hit this to open the nearby door. |
| |
| On a table inside you will find a new vigor – Return to Sender, a lock |
| pick kit, an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 2/2) and in a metal tub on the |
| left of the room a VOXOPHONE ‘One and the Same’ (Voxophone 5/5). |

| | | |
| | The Return to Sender vigor is a more defensive vigor than any | |
| | other. | |
| | | |
| | Hitting the vigor button will create a piece of cover for you | |
| | in the form of a magnetic shield that DeWitt will hold out in | |
| | front of himself for a few seconds. This will draw bullets | |
| | nearby to it, preventing you from taking damage. | |
| | | |
| | Holding the vigor button down creates a shield that Booker | |
| | will carry around in front of him for as long as the button | |
| | is held. This will drain your salts, but will absorb bullets | |
| | in front, and prevent them from hitting you. If you are | |
| | holding it out, when the shield turns red, let go of the | |
| | button and Booker will throw the red shield and all of its | |
| | absorbed damage at an enemy that you target. | |
| | | |
| | The Return to Sender vigor can be upgraded to absorb bullets | |
| | that are fired at you. These will be added to your ammo count.| |
| | | |
| | note that this vigor cannot be used in conjunction with any | |
| | other vigors for a combination attack. | |

| Exit the bar and a group of 4 Vox soldiers will be waiting for you. Get|
| Elizabeth to phase in the friendly auto-turret on the upper platform to|
| help you out before focusing on killing the rest of the enemies. When |
| they are dead, backtrack through the area until you reach the turnstile|
| I mentioned earlier that will exit the area. |

When you are ready to progress, continue through the turnstile.
After going through, turn right and at the end of the room hit the button to
call the elevator. After the conversation, run over to the counter furthest
from the elevator and inspect the book on the counter for a scene. Once the
scene is done, run over and talk to Elizabeth at the elevator call button.
Enter the lift and hit the button to travel to the next area.

There are a large number of Vox soldiers and a couple of rocketeers running

reinforcements. After a short while a handyman will also show up to attack as
well. Use the sky-lines to keep moving between the different sides of the
area in order to avoid the handyman and attempt to kill the other Vox enemies
as you go. Once the others are dealt with, get rid of the handyman. After he
falls, he’ll drop a gift containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/3).
After the fight is over, use the sky-line to access the balcony on the far

Once you are ready to go, run on over to the gate marked ‘Harmony Lane’. Have
Elizabeth unlock it and head inside.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beggar’s Alley <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you go through the alley, you can pick up the Return to Sender vigor from a
crate on the right if you did not do the previous optional task. For those
people here’s a bit of information on your new found ability.
______________________________
/ New Vigor: Return to Sender \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Return to Sender vigor is a more defensive vigor than any other. |
| |
| Hitting the vigor button will create a piece of cover for you in the |
| form of a magnetic shield that will draw bullets nearby to it. Holding|
| the vigor button down creates a shield that Booker will carry around |
| in front of him. This will drain your salts, but you will absorb the |
| bullets. If you are holding it out in front, when the shield turns |
| red, if you let go of the button Booker will throw the red shield and |
| all of its absorbed damage at an enemy that you target. |
| |
| The Return to Sender vigor can be upgraded to absorb bullets that are |
| fired at you. These will be added to your ammo count. |
| |
| note that this vigor cannot be used in conjunction with any other |
| vigors for a combination attack. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Vigor:Return to Sender \
\_____________________________/
Behind the crate with the Return to Sender vigor is a stack of crates with some
ammo and a lock pick on it. Continue through the open door to the left. In
this room there is a Dollar Bill, Veni! Vidi! Vigor! and a Minuteman’s Armory
vending machine if you require them. To continue, keep going up the stairs
until you are back outside.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Harmony Lane <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you exit, you will see a number of tears in the next area. You will also
come under attack from snipers almost immediately. Run up and stand behind the
sign in front reading ‘Emporia towers’. From here we can activate a couple of
tears.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Sniper rifle and ammo just to the right of the sign. |
| |
| 2. Freight hook above and to the right of the sign. |
| |
| 3. Decoy at ground level on the walkway to the left of the sign. |
| |
| 4. Piece of cover on the balcony directly in front of you. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
There are a total of 4 snipers in the area. One on the balcony directly in
front of you, another on the roof above this balcony, the third sniper is on
the balcony to the left of the one in front of you and a final sniper is on
another balcony on the left side of the street a little further in the
distance. Have Elizabeth phase in the sniper rifle if you don't have one and
grab it. Next have her activate the decoy tear. Now take out the four snipers
from the cover of the sign whilst they are distracted.
Once they are all dead, before heading across the nearby bridge, look along
the wall of the building we just exited to find a door Elizabeth can unlock.
Inside you will find a lock pick kit and few other lootables. Another two Vox
soldiers will enter the building whilst you are in there though so be sure to
be ready to defend yourself. Exit and take the path down below the bridge
with the decoy for some salts and another lock pick.
Return up the stairs and cross the bridge. As soon as you are over, enter the
open door on the right. Find the stairs leading downstairs. At the bottom,
kill the Vox soldiers ahead of you. When they are dead, go and look where they
were sitting. Behind the table on the right you will see a carton on a shelf
with a VOXOPHONE ‘Beyond Redemption’ (Voxophone 2/4) in it. Loot the rest of
the place and head back out to the street.
Across the street you will see another door, this one has a lock on it that
Elizabeth can open for you (requires 3 lock picks). Kill the aggressive
citizen inside and head upstairs to find a gift containing a new piece of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 2/3). Exit to the street and continue along it until you
reach a set of stairs. Head on up the stairs until you reach another street at
the top.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Downtown Emporia <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
At the top look to the right and you’ll make out a few Vox soldiers and a
fireman running in the opposite direction. There are a few of them and they
are heading over to attack a motorized patriot and a group of Founder soldiers
at the end of the street. Let them fight it out a little and try to see the
patriot destroyed before attacking (unless you want to kill it of course!).
Whilst you wait, you will notice a few tears about in this zone too.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Friendly auto-turret on the raised walkway straddling the |
| street. |
| |
| 2. Freight hook on the left hand wall of the area. |
| |
| 3. Freight hook on the right hand wall of the area. |
| |
| 4. Piece of cover in the centre of the street towards the far end|
| of the area. |
| |
| 5. Piece of cover on the raised walkway on the left of the street|
| near the far end of the area. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Once you are ready to begin, spawn the friendly auto turret to draw enemies
and kill them from cover. When the bad guys stop coming, head over to the
raised platform on the left and have Elizabeth spawn the cover there. Work
your way up to that and eliminate any remaining enemies from here.
When it’s all clear, you can go beneath the bridge with the auto-turret to
find one of each vending machine if you feel like upgrading or buying some
salts/health/ammo.
About halfway between the end of the left side of the bridge and the tear for
cover on the left hand platform you can find a locked door that Elizabeth is
able to unlock (requires 3 lock picks). Inside you will find a new piece of
EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 3/3) in a present on the left counter and a VOXOPHONE
‘The True Color of my Skin’ (Voxophone 3/4) on the right.
Exit the building and follow the street to the end. Head up the stairs behind
the open gate on the left and exit through the door at the top.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Z.H. Comstock Victory Square <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As soon as you enter, look to your right to spot a small alleyway with one of
each vending machine if you feel like upgrading or buying some
salts/health/ammo.
Make your way over to the large building at the top of the stairs on the left.
Check out the base of the statue of the woman directly in front of it to find a
VOXOPHONE ‘Pen Pal’ (Voxophone 4/4). Approach the gate to the main building
and interact with it for a scene. Afterwards, turn around and head down the
stairs to the left and through the gate signed ‘Memorial Gardens’.

________________________]
Follow the street and you will see an open door
to the left. Inside you can find a lock pick, more
lootable stuff and a safe Elizabeth can open for a tidy sum of cash (requires
3 lock picks). Return to the street and enter the gate further along to the
right for the ‘Memorial Gardens’.
Follow the path to the right and climb the stairs here. Go through the first
crypt and you will reach the graveyard proper. Elizabeth will point out the
‘Our Lady’ tomb. As we head over to it, you will see a few tears around and
that means fighting is bound to occur. So keep that in mind!
When you reach the tomb of interest, turn around to face the courtyard. We
will be fighting as soon as we get back out out of here, so we should
familiarise ourselves with their locations now. Here is where you will find
the tears.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Shotgun and ammo on the raised walkway opposite the entrance |
| to the ‘Our Lady’ tomb. |
| |
| 2. Crate of medical kits in a small tunnel beneath the walkway |
| jutting out into the graveyard opposite the entrance to the |
| tomb. |
| |
| 3. Crank gun on the wall next to the raised walkway to the left. |
| |
| 4. Crate of medical kits in an open tomb to the right. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
When you are ready to progress, enter the lady’s tomb and have Elizabeth
interact with the lock on the door. Open the door when prompted to do so. After
an exchange of words, walk around to the back of the coffin and interact with
the lock for a scene. To continue, you need to open the gate back out to the
graveyard. Here you will encounter a new enemy – the Siren.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Siren \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The siren is one of the tougher enemies you will encounter in the |
| game. They appear as ghosts in appearance and have a number of |
| abilities that make encounters with them difficult. Firstly, they have|
| a shockwave attack they will unleash if you get too close to that will|
| force you back and is quite damaging. |
| |
| Secondly, and most annoyingly, sirens have the ability to resurrect |
| dead people...dead people with guns. She won’t just stop at one or two|
| zombies either; she will continue to spawn them until she has a |
| veritable army defending her. Additionally the siren has the ability |
| to perform short range teleportation similar to the crows so she can |
| escape your attacks and spawn enemies elsewhere. |
| |
| When facing the siren, you need to weigh up whether to attack the |
| ghost directly or to kill the enemies she has spawned. When she dies, |
| all of the spawned enemies will die as well, however she usually stays|
| at the back of the battlefield or stays very mobile moving from place |
| to place, making shooting her difficult without being shot to pieces |
| by her thralls. |
| |
| For those favoring a direct assault, the Return to Sender vigor is |
| quite useful in protecting you from damage whilst you attack her |
| directly whilst also giving you an offensive tool in the throwable |
| shield. |
| |
| A good tactic is to throw Devil’s Kiss or Shock Jockey traps at her |
| whilst she is stationary and reviving enemies as when the enemies hit |
| the floor, they will also activate the trap damaging her and killing |
| or wounding almost all of them in the process. |
| |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Siren \
\_____________________________/
After destroying the siren, a pair of familiar faces will show up at some open
graves to the right of the lady’s tomb. Go and chat with them. Once they
disappear, go up to the tomb at the top of the hill behind them.
See the pair of torches on either side of the gate? Hit each of them with a
Devil’s Kiss and they will light up. After which the gate will open. Inside
against the back wall you will find a gift containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE
GEAR (Gear 1/4). Now go over to the crank gun tear and look near the flames to
the left for a lock pick kit.
Backtrack to the entrance to the area for another short conversation sequence.
This will update our objectives. When the scene is done, exit the Memorial
Gardens. You will notice some ghostly footprints. These will lead you where
you need to go.
When we are back on the street, turn right and follow the crumbling ledge
here. Once you reach the far side of the narrow ledge and are back on the
street, turn around to see an open door to a building floating behind us. Jump
over to this. Approach the red tear to hear another bout of contemporary music.
Also in the room you will find a VOXOPHONE ‘Out of Thin Air’ (Voxophone 1/8)
and on the ground nearby a lock picking bag.
Return to the street and continue along it. Near the end of the street, go
down the stairs to your right to enter the Market District.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Market District <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As soon as you reach the base of the stairs, there is a Dollar Bill machine to
your left if you need to replenish supplies of ammo/health/salts. Continue
along the road to the next left and head down the path here. Below in a square
with a fountain in the centre, you will see a group of 6-7 Vox soldiers out in
front of a building on the left.
Work your way down the path and kill them all. Have Elizabeth unlock the door
to the building that they were guarding. Head on in the door when able.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Laboratory Lutece <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Enter the door directly in front of you and then go up the stairs to your
right. At the top enter the open door to a bedroom. On the left side of this
room you will find an INFUSION UPGRADE (1/3) on a table. On the right side of
the room, on the floor between the bed and the left hand bedside table you will
find a VOXOPHONE ‘A Theory on Our “Death”’ (Voxophone 2/8). Return downstairs
and enter the room at the end of the hall.
Ignore the tear here for a moment and enter the open door to the right. Here
on a table at the back of the room is a VOXOPHONE ‘on the Entropy of Genes’
(Voxophone 3/8). Loot the rest of the area and head back out to the tear.
Interact with the tear for a short scene. After the tear disappears, look on
the floor below where it had been as it will leave behind a VOXOPHONE ‘Child
of Science’ (Voxophone 4/8). Now that we are done here, do any final looting
you require before heading back out of the house.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Market District <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you exit, you’ll notice an open shop across the square to the right. In
here there is a bit of ammo and a lock picking kit behind the counter if you
are interested. Exit to the street and look behind the green and white tent
for another door. This one Elizabeth can unlock (requires 3 lock picks). Inside
find the back room, here there is a gift containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE
GEAR (Gear 2/4).
Exit to the street again and continue down the stairs. There is an open shop
here that is on fire. Inside there is one of each vending machine if you feel
like upgrading or buying some salts/health/ammo. There is a lock pick on the
wall to the right of the Minuteman’s Armory vending machine.
When ready exit the shop and continue down the next few sets of stairs. You
will reach another street. Follow this to the left and as you reach the corner
a firemen will appear. Once you have dealt with him turn around and look for a
sign saying ‘Wilson Bros. & Company’. This building has a door we can unlock
(requires 3 lock picks). There is an INFUSION UPGRADE (Infusion 2/3) inside.
Return to where the fireman we just killed came from and follow this path.
When you reach the bottom of the stairs, enter the door to the right marked
‘Hudson’s’. Behind the bookshelf at the top of the stairs is a lock pick.
Downstairs you will find a lock pick bag and a safe we can open (requires 3
lock picks) for some money. In the small side-room near the safe, there is
also a CODE BOOK on a shelf that we can grab that will start an optional task.
Return back to the main street.
Follow the path to the end until you reach a locked gate. Have Elizabeth open
it for you. Once you go through, we’ll be back in the Thoroughfare again.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thoroughfare <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After going through the gate, turn right and follow the walkway. See the white
set of stairs nearby? That’s the entrance to the bank and our next destination.
The same tears are still in effect from our previous visit to the area.
________________________________________________________________

Have Elizabeth activate the auto-turret and plant a vigor trap or two on the
stairs as well. As we set up the stairs to the bank, a pair of crows will
emerge from the door at the top. An additional 8-10 Vox soldiers will pour out
after them. Once they are all dead a fireman will show up, so use the
sky-lines and tears as you deem appropriate to sort them all out.
When all the bad guys are dead, climb the stairs to the bank and enter the door
at the top.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Bank of the Prophet <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you enter, grab the lock pick sitting on the pillar at the back right and
follow the path to the left. In the next room are three KINETOSCOPES against
the far wall (‘A Look Back at Opening Day!’, ‘The Prophet Stands up to foes:
Within and Without!’ and ‘We Secede From the So-called Union’) and they are
all repeats so as long as you have been following the guide, you will have
picked these ones up previously. Even so, feel free to use them again just to
ensure that you have them.
When ready, enter the nearby elevator and hit the button to ride it down to
the next area.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Bank of the Prophet Main Hall <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you exit the lift, turn left to see a Dollar Bill vending machine. Use it
if you wish.
The main hall here is occupied by 10-12 Vox soldiers and we will need to kill
them all. Deal with them as you wish. Once the hall is clear, you will note
that there are two teller areas on the lower level on either side of the room
with a good deal of loot in each. Of particular note is that the room on the
left has a safe inside that can be opened by Elizabeth (requires 1 lock pick)
for a nice sum of money. The right hand room has a lock pick on a table.
Go up to the large vault door at the back of the room. Enter the door to the
left. Follow the path here and on the second desk on the left you will find a
lock pick kit. Continue along the hallway here until you reach a corner. There
will be a door in front so head on in here. On the ground on the right hand
side of the room is a gift containing a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear
3/4).
Exit this room via the other door and follow this corridor until you enter the
small office room at the end. Look on the desk here for a lock picking kit
and another Vox code. This will start an optional task.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you wish to unlock the ‘Infused with Greatness’ and 'Eavesdropper'
achievement/trophy you must complete this optional task.

| Remember when I told you to go and check out the shop with the |
| ‘Hudson’s’ sign on it a little while ago whilst going through the |
| Market District? If you picked the CODEBOOK up as I told you to |
| earlier, you are good to go! |
| |
| If you didn’t pick it up earlier, you will need to backtrack out of the|
| bank to the thoroughfare area, turn to the left and follow the pathway |
| here until you reached the unlocked gate we previously came through |
| from the Market District. Climb the stairs and in front of you at the |
| end of this passage you will find the ‘Hudson’s’ shop. In the basement |
| of this building, in the small side-room near the safe the CODE BOOK |
| is sitting on a shelf to the left of the sink. Now head back to the |
| bank and to the code room once again! |
| |
| Once you have the CODE BOOK, head around behind the desk and after |
| Elizabeth tells you what to do, interact with the type writer. This |
| will unlock a secret room nearby that contains an INFUSION UPGRADE |
| (Infusion 3/3), a lock pick bag and a VOXOPHONE ‘The Imagination of |
| God’ (Voxophone 5/8). There are also a few gold bars and coins lying |
| around near the safe. |

\___________________________________________________/
Now that we are all looted out, it’s time to get back to business, return to
the main hall with the vault door. This time around we want to take the right
exit. Follow the hallway until you reach the room at the end. Go through the
left hand door. Kill the 4-5 Vox soldiers in here and the sniper through the
doorway at the end of the hall. Loot the room (there’s a fair bit of loot to
be had!).
Head through the room with the sniper and enter the left hand door. At the
end of this hallway you will see an hole inthe wall to the left. Ignore this
for now and continue past it to the dead end. Here you will find a corpse next
to a twisted metal grill on a door. Behind him you will find a gift containing
a new piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 4/4). Go back and enter the opening we
ignored a second ago.
You will see another tear in the centre of the room in front of you. Ignore
this for now and enter the room to the left. There is a safe in here
Elizabeth can unlock (requires 3 lock picks) for some additional money and
behind this is a VOXOPHONE ‘No Longer’ (Voxophone 6/8).
Return to the tear and as you approach, the crow that we have been seeing
around will attack you. Kill him off and then head over to the tear again and
interact with it. After the tear disappears, look on the floor below where it
had been as it will leave behind a VOXOPHONE ‘A Broken Circle’ (Voxophone 7/8).
After grabbing that, run around behind the statue in the middle of the room
and approach the vault door. It will open for you.
As soon as the door is open you will see a siren resurrecting some enemies.
Goody! During the fight with the siren, feel free to use the cover provided by
the pillars on the lower level and the pair of offices on either side as well.
The siren will hang out mostly in the middle, but will also spend a bit of
time on the upper levels as well. Just remember to throw traps at her whilst
she is reviving to make her and her thralls a little easier to handle.
When she is dead, return to the far end of the main hall and ride the elevator
back up to the bank. Backtrack out of the bank and exit to the thoroughfare.
Follow the path around to the right and enter the gate to Harmony Lane once
again.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Harmony Lane <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Continue through the street where we fought the snipers earlier and climb the
stairs at the far end. At the top you will see a lock appear on the door
directly across the street (‘Columbia’s finest Photography’ is written on the
window). Have Elizabeth pick the lock and go on inside.
Interact with the tear in here for a scene. After the tear disappears, look on
the table behind where it had been as it will leave behind a VOXOPHONE ‘The
Customer is Late’ (Voxophone 8/8). Loot the rest of the shop and when you are
ready to get going, exit and turn left.
Follow the road towards the large winged statue in the distance. This place
was a little tricky earlier, but this time around it is much more sparsely
populated. There is a pair of Vox rocketeers on balconies overlooking the
street and a regular Vox soldier to deal with. Kill them and proceed up the
stairs on the left at the end.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Z.H. Comstock Victory Square <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
We are back at the gate to Comstock house again. Note that this time around
there is a tear for a sniper rifle and some ammo over on the right side of the
area below a raised platform. Approach the female statue in front of the
building and a conversation with Elizabeth will play out.
Once the conversation is done, a siren will appear and resurrect a bunch of
enemies on the steps here. Remember to hit her with traps when she pauses to
resurrect so that she and her underlings will take damage. Other than that,
do your usual siren tactics to take her down. Note that there is plenty of
cover available and if you are the standoffish type the tear with the sniper
rifle will give you the option to take her down from afar.
Once the siren has been defeated, return up to the statue and another scene
will play out.
After the scene, enter the now opened gate and through the door inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: At this point, you will unlock the achievement/trophy ‘Blood in the
Streets’.

When you reach the other end, run up the steps to where the tear is. When it
disappears, enter the building and run up to the next tear ahead. Continue
through the next door. Climb up the stairs on either side of the large statue
and work your way to the door on the far side of the room there is another
tear here.
Once the tear vanishes go through the door. As you enter, you will see a
couple of new enemies in the room beyond: Mannequins directly in front and a
Boy of Silence on the other side of the central partition.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Boys of Silence \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Boys of Silence, like the mannequins are only found in a short |
| section of the game in Comstock House. They can be identified by the |
| large metal helmet on their heads with the large earpieces sticking |
| out on either side. |
| |
| These guys act sort of like the security cameras in Rapture from the |
| first two Bioshock games. They Stand in a specific location and will |
| survey the room around them. You can tell where they are looking by |
| the spotlight that illuminates the area they are investigating. If |
| they look at you, the spotlight will turn yellow and they will assume |
| an action pose. If you are unable to escape his gaze behind cover for |
| a second or two whilst the beam is focused on you and yellow, it will |
| turn red and the Boy of Silence will sound an alarm before teleporting|
| from the room. |
| |
| The alarm will cause all of the enemies in the immediate area to |
| attack you. |
| |

\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Boys of Silence \

/ New Enemy: Mannequins \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| The Mannequins only appear in Comstock house. You will find they look |
| like a partially phased out version of citizens with creepy masks on. |
| They are usually found in large groups of 8-10 guarding a room. They |
| remain relatively still and are passive, even if you walk up and touch|
| them. They will stay like this until you alert a Boy of Silence. When |
| alerted to your presence, they will rush you in a large pack and use |
| melee attacks to damage you. |
| |
| As with the policemen or the cultists they are relatively weak, their |
| danger lies in the large numbers. If you do accidentally alert a pack|
| of them, you should cut large circles around the area to draw them |
| together and drop traps into their midst as you go. Fortunately |
| conflict with these guys can almost always be avoided, as long as you |
| don’t bother the Boys of Silence in the rooms they occupy. |

\_____________________________/
The next few rooms have a number of Boys of Silence inhabiting them. As
mentioned, it is entirely possible to go through the next few sets of rooms,
avoiding the Boy of Silence and not having to enter combat at all.
Unfortunately the first room here is the only exception as you are unable to
reach the door without being spotted. As such, shoot the boy of silence so he
sets off his alarm and mop up the mannequins that come to attack. Once they are
all dead, loot the room and use the intercom on the door that the Boy of
Silence had been guarding. Enter the lift that appears behind you.
Inside the elevator is another tear and a VOXOPHONE ‘A Leash’ (Voxophone 1/1).
Once the tear disappears, hit the button to ride up to the next area.

________________________] looking away go into the room and use the pillars
here for cover. There are two exits to this room.
We want to take the left hand exit first when it
is safe to do so.
On a pillar near the dead end here is a KINETOSCOPE ‘Sunrise’ (Kinetoscope
1/3). Return to the room with the Boy of Silence and work your way over to the
right exit this time when it is safe to do so using the pillars as cover.
After entering the doorway, go through the door directly to the left beside the
‘Where we Weep’ sign. Inside a coffin at the base of a furnace you will find
another VOXOPHONE ‘The Value of Choice’ (Voxophone 1/2). Exit the furnace
room and enter the circular operating theatre with the fancy chair in the
centre of the previous room to find another tear.
Enter the door nearby with the ‘Where we Cleanse’ sign. There is another tear
we can listen to at the far end of this room. Exit the next door when ready.
This room is a long bedroom type area that holds another Boy of Silence in it.
The Boy of Silence is standing on a bed in the centre of the room. In front
and behind him are beds and pipes that will obstruct his view. We’ll need to
use these as cover. Wait for him to look away and head over to the far side of
the room. There is a tear on the bed here we can listen to. Afterwards, when
the spotlight is not on it, enter the door nearby.
You will see the elevator in front of you and a set of stairs to the left and
the right of it. Near the top of both of these stairs is a pair of auto-turrets
that will attack you if you go out in the open. Pick them off from the cover
here. Once the turrets have been destroyed a crow will appear, kill him but
stay in the area around the base of the lift/stairs whilst you do. DO NOT go
back into the Boy of Silence room whilst you are fighting him, otherwise the
fight will get a lot tougher!
After killing the crow, eliminate the Founder soldiers at the top of the stairs
before climbing them when it is safe to do so. At the top of the stairs, go
into the hall on the left. There is another tear here. After it vanishes
continue down the corridor nearby and at the end you will find a KINETOSCOPE
(Kinetoscope 2/3) 'Hummingbird'. Enter the door on the left.
Check out the tear in here and grab the locksmith bag from the table before
continuing out the back door. As you enter the next large room, there is
another Boy of Silence at the far end.
Cruise up to the pillar in front of you here and peek around the corner. See
the crates ahead? Crouch down and use them as cover to move up into the room.
Now we want to get to the small room behind the Boy of Silence here. You will
notice the gift on the table behind him that contains a new piece of EQUIPPABLE
GEAR (Gear 1/1).Carefully work your way between the crates when he is not
looking. Grab the gear when safe to do so and then continue into the room
behind the wall here. Grab the VOXOPHONE ‘Debts’ (Voxophone 2/2) from the
table.
Continue to the other end of the wall and look back towards the Boy of
silence. To his right is the exit. When he looks way make your way over there
and through it. Enter the next door to enter a projector room. Watch the video
if you like and then climb up and through the broken window.
Go through the door at the left of the room here and look to the right to
find a KINETOSCOPE ‘Battleship Falls’ (Kinetoscope 3/3). Follow the hallway
until it empties into a larger room.

the chair. Pull the nearby lever when you are ready to continue.
Turn around and Boo! It's time to fight some enemies. Head over to the doorway
to the Warden’s office and use this as cover whilst you take out the enemies
beyond. 5-6 Founder soldiers will come up the stairs behind you. Kill them
all before heading back down the stairs and backtracking past the projector
room.
Exit and in the main hallway take the opening to the right to enter a balcony
overlooking the elevator below. Kill the 4 Founder soldiers on the balcony
here and the other two running around on the stairs below. When the area is

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Surgery <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you enter you will see a surgery room in front of you. To the left and the
right are doors we can go through leading to hallways. At the end of each
hallway is a set of stairs with an auto-turret at the top. I’d recommend
killing both of these before doing anything else. Once the turrets are
destroyed you will encounter some new enemies – Founder Heavy Soldiers.
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Heavy Soldiers \__________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
| |
| These Founder soldiers are just like regular soldiers. They use the |
| same weapons (shotguns, machine guns etc.) and tactics as the regular |
| soldiers. Where they differ is in their armour. As with the |
| rocketeers/grenadiers these enemies are heavily armoured, so are more |
| durable to vigor, weapon and explosive damage. As with the other |
| armoured enemies traps,sustainable vigors that increase weapon damage |
| and headshots are the best damage dealers when facing these enemies. |
| ___________________________|_
\___________________________________________/ New Enemy: Heavy Soldiers \
\_____________________________/
In total there are 6 of these heavy soldiers and whichever stairway you choose
to climb, 3 of them will be waiting at the top for you. Kill them and peek in
the door at the top of the stairs. There are another pair of auto-turrets in
here that you will need to dispose of. Attacking these will alert the other 3
heavy soldiers who went over to the opposite stairwell and they will come to
attack you as well.
Once all the hostile forces have been neutralised, make sure that you go and
loot the bodies and the destroyed auto-turrets – I was running dangerously low
on ammo at this point, and you probably will be as well... it’s been a long
time since we’ve see a vending machine!
In the large room at the top of the stairs you will find two open doors and a
locked door (we’ll get to this shortly). To destroy the machine as our
objective requires, we need to enter each of the open doors and pull the lever
inside. Go on in and pull one of the levers.
Return to the main room. As you do a motorised patriot and 3 heavy founder
soldiers will be waiting for you. Kill them all and then enter the next side
room and pull the second lever to deactivate the machine. As you pull the
second lever, a rather cool scene will play.
Once the scene is over, return down the stairs and interact with Elizabeth for
a scene. Continue to interact with her as prompted.
When you regain control, climb back up the stairs to the upper room and have
Elizabeth unlock the door between the two openings that lead to the levers
(requires 3 lock picks) – it’s directly across from the gate where we need to
go for the objective. Inside at the top of the stairs is a desk with an
UPGRADE INFUSION (Infusion 1/1) and a VOXOPHONE ‘Pavlov’s Bell’ (Voxophone
1/1).

Note: If you have followed the guide and picked up all of the infusions along

Turn left and follow the path until you reach the corner to the left. Ahead
you will see a bridge leading to another large building. There are a couple of
tears Elizabeth is able to manipulate here.
________________________________________________________________

|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Piece of cover at the near end of the bridge. |
| |
| 2. Mosquito patrolling around the central bridge. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
As you approach a pod will fall to the ground near the centre of the bridge
and a second will land on the walkway besides the building beyond the bridge.
From these pods motorized patriots will emerge. In addition, a grenadier will
appear at the far end of the bridge and 5-6 Founder soldiers will also spawn.
Use your usual tactics to take out the closest patriot before focusing on the
soldiers. To make things easier you can have Elizabeth activate the mosquito
and attempt to possess the motorized patriot at the far end of the bridge.
Once all the enemies are dead, go to the far end of the bridge. As you do a
barge will pull up and drop off reinforcements over by the structure to the
right. There are 6 regular Founder soldiers. Kill them all.
Now return to the building at the end of the bridge and have Elizabeth unlock
the door here (requires 3 lock picks).
Once inside, Head over to the lift at the back of the room, there are 2 lock
picks on the floor here. There is a safe containing some money that Elizabeth
can unlock (requires 1 lock pick) in the open office room to the right. Enter
the door to the left to find a VOXOPHONE ‘An Ultimatum’ (Voxophone 1/1) on the
floor between 2 desks. There is also a Veni! Vidi! Vigor! vending machine in
this room for any last minute Vigor upgrades you might desire.
When you are ready to continue onwards, return outside to where the barge
dropped off the reinforcements earlier. Look to the left here to find a
TELESCOPE (Telescope 1/1).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you have followed the guide and have viewed all of the Kinetoscopes
and looked through each telescope along the way, at this point you will
earn the achievement/trophy ‘Sightseer’.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jump onto the barge.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hand of the Prophet Gunship <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Once on board the barge, pull the lever and the barge will set a course for a
zeppelin in the distance.
After a few moments of solitude, a number of enemy gunships will approach our
barge and attack us. We need to kill them to progress. This is an absolutely
fantastic time to use the Undertow vigor as we can hop up to the freight hook
on enemy ships, drop down and then use Undertow to instantly push all of the
enemies off the ship to their deaths.
The first ship will come from the front and to the left, hop over and undertow
the unfortunate souls overboard. Jump back to your ship and a pair of
mosquitos will appear. Shoot them down as they approach and once the mosquitos
are destroyed a second gunship will approach from in front and to the left
again. Once again hop up and use the undertow vigor to polish off the crew
quickly.
A pair of gunships will start fighting each other to the left. Let them do it
as you do not want to draw their fire. Eventually they will move on without
bothering you. The next drop ship will approach from behind and to the right.
If you still have salts left, repeat the undertow trick on the Vox soldiers
before returning to your ship.
The final assault will come in the form of 2 mosquitos and a gunship from in
front and to the right. I’d suggest dealing with the occupants of the gunship
first before turning your hand to the mosquitos.
With all of those foes vanquished a conversation will ensue and after a few
moments you will arrive at the Hand of the Prophet.

Note there are a pair of tears in the area that Elizabeth can use.
________________________________________________________________

| 1. Friendly mosquito above the outer deck to the left. |
| |
| 2. Friendly rocket auto-turret outside on the right hand deck. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Kill any soldiers in the immediate area and pop out the door to the left.
Destroy the auto-turret ahead (you can use the mosquito tear here if you
desire) and go back to where we came from. This time head over to the opposite
side of the area and take out the auto-turret on the other side of the ship
(you can use the rocket-turret tear to help) killing any additional soldiers
that get in the way. After clearing the two turrets, enter the door on one of
the walkways and follow the cabin through until you exit out onto the platform
with the destroyed turret.
From here, if you turn to the right we can approach the control centre at the
front of the ship. There always seems to be 4-5 Founder soldiers here and on
either side of the control room is an auto-turret. Take the lot of them out.
Now interact with the button at the front of the ship to clear the sky-lines.
Whilst you are waiting for them to be cleared, go and loot the rest of the
deck. Check out the cabins next to each of the two auto-turrets that we
destroyed first. In these rooms you will find a Minuteman’s Armory and a Veni!
Vidi! Vigor! vending machine.
When you are ready to progress, use the sky-line to reach the next level above.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hangar Deck <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As the sky-line passes the deck, try and land on the wing of the zeppelin.
From here you can use the supports as cover to work your way up to the stairs
in front and to the right towards the control panels whilst clearing out the 6
Founder soldiers currently inhabiting the area as you go.
When you reach the control panel to drop the pods from the next sky-line, do
not press it just yet. Instead, go down the nearby stairs. At the base you
will find a locked door that Elizabeth can open (requires 1 lock pick). Enter
the door.
Inside, go into the open door immediately to the right if you want a crank
gun. Exit and continue through the back of the room via the doors either side
of the headless patriot. In the next area you will see a table with a VOXOPHONE
‘What’s Done is Done’ (Voxophone 1/1) on it next to a flag. Continue around
behind this section of wall and you will find a door with a button next to it.
Hit the button to open the door.
We’ll be back on the deck! And right in front of us is another locked door.
Have Elizabeth unlock it (requires 3 lock picks). Inside, there is an RPG on
the table to the left and at the very back of the room on a desk is a gift
containing a piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1).
Backtrack all the way to the button to clear the next sky-line. Before we hit
the button, turn around so that your back is to the controls and survey the
area. There are three tears here that we can use in the coming fight.
________________________________________________________________

| |
| 2. Friendly auto-turret down the stairs to the left. |
| |
| 3. Crate of medical kits in the middle of the upper raised |
| platform. |
| |
|__________________________________________________________________|
Activate the auto-turret on the right. As soon as we hit the switch three
gunships loaded with Vox soldiers and a grenadier or two will approach from
the right and drop off their crew. A short while later, another group of ships
will dock on the left hand side of the airship and drop off more Vox soldiers
and a motorized patriot. Monitor the situation and have Elizabeth change up the
active auto-turret when required.
Shoot any soldiers that come too close to you, but try to keep close to the
controls. Keep in mind that we do not need to kill all the enemies to proceed,
merely wait a minute or so until the sky-line is clear. When Elizabeth tells
you that it is clear, hop onto the sky-line behind the control panel and ride
it up to the next platform.
Once you have landed, climb the nearby ramp and enter the door at the top.

The second room in the distance is much smaller and has a pair of wall mounted

|__________________________________________________________________|
As we enter the first room, a good number of 5-6 Vox soldiers will begin to
attack you. As the battle is joined, a handyman will also come crashing into
the area from the room at the back of the area. This will encourage a few more
Vox soldiers to join him.
The best way to deal with the situation is to ride the sky-line around the
room and whilst on it activate one of the auto-turrets. Return to the entrance
to the room and help the turret out by picking off enemies in the distance.
When the handyman comes to meet you here, either take him on immediately
before clearing the soldiers from the rest of the room, or alternatively, when
he arrives, hop back on the sky-line and ride it back to the far end
(activating the other turret if the first is no longer functioning). Again
when the handyman approaches, return to the start of the area.
By avoiding the handyman and kiting him around the room, there is a good
chance that he will wipe out a number of Vox soldiers for you. When no more
soldiers are lurking about, finish off the handyman. Once he is dead loot the
gift he drops containing a piece of EQUIPPABLE GEAR (Gear 1/1).
Go over to the entrance to the back room. Killing the handyman will have
allowed an additional 4-5 Vox soldiers to spawn in there. Take them out from
cover you can use in the first room. When they are dead, climb the stairs to
the second room. As we do the wall mounted auto-turrets flanking the doorway
will activate. Try to edge up the stairs whilst facing each side to eliminate
them one at a time.
Now that the room is clear, climb the stairs and make your way to the very
back of the room. Here you will find a Minuteman’s Armory vending machine, so
upgrade your weapons if you wish to do so.
When you are ready to continue, use the sky-line here. Ride it all the way
around to the far end of the ship and drop down on the deck below when you are
able to do so. Enter the door here.
Approach the sculpture in the middle of the room for a conversation, and then
continue through the door behind it when Elizabeth opens it for you. Approach
the far end of the room here for a scene. Hit the buttons when prompted.
Once the scene has finished, enter the door behind the fountain. Climb the
stairs and follow the wooden walkway until you reach another short set of
stairs. At the top of these, ignore the larger set of stairs leading up once
more for the moment. On this platform here are two doors we can enter.
The door on the left is an office area with a desk inside with a VOXOPHONE
‘The Mirror of Sin’ (Voxophone 1/2) and a hand cannon sitting on it. The door
on the right is a bedroom and in here. Mounted on the wall next to the door is
a sniper rifle and a shotgun and on the bed nearby is another VOXOPHONE ‘The
Prophet is Dying’ (Voxophone 2/2).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: If you have followed the guide and have acquired all of the Voxophones
along the way, at this point you will earn the achievement/trophy
‘Eavesdropper’.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exit back to the main area and climb the stairs. Follow the walkway to the end
and have Elizabeth unlock the door here. Once inside, interact with the
control panel directly in front of you for a scene.

Voxophones............0 ]
Kinetoscopes..........0 ] Once the scene is finished, you will be able to
Telescopes............0 ] drop down to the Command deck below.
Infusion Upgrades.....0 ]
Gear .................0 ] In front of you, you will see a large blue power
________________________] core. In the top right hand corner of the screen
you will see a blue status bar appear, this
signifies the power core’s strength and it will
drain when the core takes damage. If the core is damaged too much, the core
will be destroyed and you will fail and unfortunately you will have to try
again.
This next part is probably the hardest area in the entire game. It is by no
means easy, but it is achievable. There is a veritable horde of enemy
combatants in the next gameplay sequence and they will be dropped in regularly
via both gunships and zeppelins. Fortunately you will now have the ability to
call in Songbird to attack the various enemy vehicles. He will be able to kill
any one that he targets instantly, but it takes around 30 seconds for him to
recharge and be ready for another strike following each attack.
On the deck here are a bunch of tears around the area for you to use and they
can be found in the following locations.
________________________________________________________________
/ Tears in this Location \
|\________________________________________________________________/|
| |
| 1. Crate of medical kits in the cabin behind the core. |
| |
| 2. Piece of cover on the upper deck to the right of the core. |

|__________________________________________________________________|
The actual attack sequence will play out almost like a series of waves, with
each bringing a little more craziness to the situation. The waves can
sometimes overlap if you are unable to finish off the enemy forces quickly
enough, so be sure to read ahead as well so that you know what to expect!
The waves play out as such:
1. The first gunship will drop enemies off at the front of the ship.Use
Songbird to destroy the ship and mop up any remaining enemies.
2. A pair of gunships will drop 3-4 Vox soldiers each on the upper
walkways on the left and right. Kill them all.
3. A gunship will drop off another 2-3 Vox soldiers and a pair of
rocketeers near the front of the deck and a barge with an attached
large rapid fire rocket turret will hover around the front of the
ship as well. Have Songbird take out one of them and deal with the
other yourself.
4. Next up, a zeppelin will approach from the back right and when it is
in line with the deck, it will launch a pair of pods containing
motorized patriots. These will appear at the far end of the deck.
Have Songbird destroy the zeppelin. At the same time another gunship
will drop off some Vox soldiers on one of the upper platforms and a
barge with an attached rapid fire rocket turret will hover around the
front of the ship as well. Destroy the large rocket turret ASAP
before focusing on the other enemies.
5. Another zeppelin will approach from the back left and when it is in
line with the deck, it will launch another 2 pods with motorized
patriots in them to the far end of the deck. Have Songbird destroy
the zeppelin. At the same time another pair of gunships will drop off
a Vox rocketeer each on the upper platforms either side of the core.
Try to take out the rocketeers before focusing on the patriots.
6. Another zeppelin will approach from the back right and when it is
close enough; it will launch another 2 pods with motorized patriots
in them to the far end of the deck. Have Songbird destroy the
zeppelin. At the same time another gunships will drop off a group of
5-6 Vox soldiers at the far end of the deck.
Note that If you do get into a real sticky situation, you can use Songbird to
attack the deck and he will eliminate any enemies in his area of effect.
No matter what you do, the core will take some damage and no matter how
efficient you are at dispatching the bad guys, you will still end up with
soldiers and motorized patriots attacking the core. To counteract this, place
some traps around the deck at the core's base and by the stairs. Shock Jockey
is especially effective at chain stunning enemies, allowing you some time to
return and help out. Feel free to grab a patriot’s crank gun too as this will
make short work of both the Vox infantry that you encounter and the patriots
when under effect from a vigor or by firing on their weak spots.
This segment of the game is by no means easy, but in the end it is just a
case of prioritising your fire and managing damage control on the core.
Eventually the game will run out of enemies to throw at you and you can
continue with the mission.
Once the fight is done with and your task is updated, join Elizabeth near the
railing at the far end of the deck and interact with her for a scene.

the achievement/trophy ‘The Bird or the Cage’.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
Bioshock fans will remember the fancy plasmids that were able to be used in
the first two Bioshock games. These are replaced in Bioshock Infinite by a
similar set of abilities known as vigors. There are total of 8 vigors in the
game and each of these has a pair of functions. Some vigors increase your
damage output, others are better used for crowd control and some for defensive
purposes. As they vary so much, players will soon learn that each vigor has its
own strengths and weaknesses and each is best suited for specific tactics.
As this is the case, it is best to experiment with various uses of each vigor
to determine which ones you feel more comfortable with and which should be used
in specific situations.
Bioshock Infinite also allows players to switch in between vigors during
combat to enable vigor combination attacks. These attacks combine the effects
of both vigors involved and have some very interesting effects. The combination
attacks available for each vigor is listed under its entry in the guide below.
Vigors can be upgraded using the Veni!, Vidi!, Vigor! vending machines found
throughout the game and each of them can be upgraded twice.
Below you will find a list of the 8 vigors in the game, their locations, a
description of their powers, a list of upgrades and the combination attacks in
which they can be used.
Vigors are listed in order of appearance.

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Possession [VIGRP]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
Fairgrounds, Welcome Centre.
=====================
Description:
=====================
As with all of the vigors in Bioshock Infinite, possession has two
functions. Simply hitting the vigor button will possess the targeted machine
although it should be noted that this can be upgraded to possess human
enemies as well at a Veni! Vedi! Vigor! vending machine following a little
story progression.
Holding the button down and releasing will create a possession trap and any
enemy that wanders into it will be possessed. Useful stuff! Note that if
your possessed enemy is the last enemy remaining, he will turn his weapon
on himself and save you the hassle of killing him too.
When you acquire them, Possession can be used in conjunction with Devil's
Kiss and Shock Jockey to perform a combination attacks.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Possession Aid
______________________________/
Cost: $50
Effect: Allows you to possess human enemies.

will run around, spreading flames to other enemies in the area.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Devil’s Kiss [VIGRD]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
After killing the Fireman, Raffle Square.
=====================
Description:
=====================
As with all of the vigors in Bioshock Infinite, Devil’s Kiss has two
functions. Simply hitting the vigor button will throw fiery grenades that
explode shortly after impact. Holding down the vigor button and then firing
the grenade somewhere will create an explosive trap similar to a proximity
mine which will explode when an enemy comes into range of it.
Devil’s Kiss can also be used to ignite pools of oil that are occasionally
seen on the ground, which will set any enemies standing in them on fire.
When you acquire them, Devil's Kiss can be used in conjunction with
Possession, Murder of Crows, Bucking Bronco and Charge vigors to perform
powerful combination attacks.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Devil's Kiss Boost
_____________________________/
Cost: $666
Effect: Increases the damage dealt by the Devil's Kiss vigor.
Upgrade 2: Devil's Kiss Aid
____________________________/
Cost: $1653
Effect: Allows the devil's Kiss projectile to split into several parts,
causing cluster explosive damage.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
01. Devil's Kiss + Bucking Bronco
_________________________________/
Use Bucking Bronco to suspend enemies in the air and then use the Devil's
Kiss vigor to hit them as an easy target. This can also cause a chain
explosion.
02. Devil's Kiss + Charge
__________________________/
Toss a Devil's Kiss at a bad guy and then immediately do a charge attack
for extra damage.
Note that If you are going for the achievement/trophy for using all of the
vigor combinations, this particular combination can be difficult if you
have upgraded Devil's Kiss. If you are having trouble, equip the Burning
Halo piece of Gear and just use Charge normally. If the Halo effect goes
off during a Charge attack, it will count towards unlocking this one.
03. Devil's Kiss + Murder of Crows
___________________________________/
Hit an enemy with the Murder of Crows vigor and follow it up with a Devil's
Kiss attack. This will light the crows on fire, causing both crow and fire
damage over time whilst increasing your weapon damage to the affected
enemy.
04. Devil's Kiss + Possession
______________________________/
Possess an enemy and then use Devil's Kiss on them. The affected enemy
will run around, spreading flames to other enemies in the area.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Murder of Crows [VIGRM]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
From defeating the Crow, Comstock Centre Rooftops.
=====================
Description:
=====================
Whilst the Murder of Crows vigor can be used to damage enemies, its damage
output is relatively low. As such, it is much more effective as a method of
crowd control. Hitting the vigor button will summon a group of crows to
swarm and attack a target enemy; this will stun them in place. Holding down
the vigor button will create a crow trap, so any enemy that gets too close
to it will be attacked by the crows and stunned.
Whilst enemies are stunned and being attacked by crows they will not attack
you, allowing players to focus on other enemies until the vigor runs out.
Additionally, bad guys under attack from your crows will also take
additional damage from your weapons and vigors allowing you to deal with
them in a more efficient manner.
When you acquire them, Murder of Crows can be used in conjunction with
Devil's Kiss and Shock Jockey to perform powerful combination attacks.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Crows Boost
________________________/
Cost: $545
Effect: Increases the duration of the stun effect.
Upgrade 2: Crow Trap Aid
________________________/
Cost: $1485
Effect: Causes the dead bodies of those killed whilst under the effect of
Murder of Crows to become a Murder of Crows trap.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
01. Murder of Crows + Shock Jockey
___________________________________/
Use Murder of Crows on an enemy and then quickly switch to Shock Jockey and
hit them with that as well. This will electrify the swarm of crows, causing
both crow and fire damage over time whilst increasing your weapon damage to
the affected enemy.
02. Murder of Crows + Devil's Kiss
__________________________________/
Hit an enemy with the Murder of Crows vigor and follow it up with a Devil's
Kiss attack. This will light the crows on fire, causing both crow and fire
damage over time whilst increasing your weapon damage to the affected
enemy.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Bucking Bronco [VIGRB]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
Sky Road, Hall of Heroes.
=====================
Description:
=====================
The Bucking Bronco Vigor is a handy addition to your arsenal. Hitting the
vigor button will send out a shockwave a short distance in front of you that
will launch any enemies it touches into the air for a couple of seconds.
Holding down the vigor button and dropping a vigor trap will launch any
enemy that comes too close to it into the air. If an effected enemy has only
a small amount of health left, the vigor will slam them into the ground and
kill them.
As with the Murder of Crows vigor, enemies who are in the air, under the
influence of the vigor’s effects will take additional damage from your
weapons and vigor attacks.
When you acquire them, Bucking Bronco can be used in conjunction with the
Devil's Kiss and Charge vigors to perform powerful combination attacks.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Bronco Boost
________________________/
Cost: $421
Effect: Doubles the duration of float time.
Upgrade 2: Bronco Aid
________________________/
Cost: $777
Effect: Adds the ability to chain floating effects from one enemy to
others nearby.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
01. Bucking Bronco + Charge
____________________________/
Use Bucking Bronco to suspend enemies in the air and then use the charge
vigor to launch them into the distance. Great for knocking enemies off of
cliffs!
02. Bucking Bronco + Devil's Kiss
__________________________________/
Use Bucking Bronco to suspend enemies in the air and then use the Devil's
Kiss vigor to hit them as an easy target. This can also cause a chain
explosion.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Shock Jockey [VIGRS]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
From defeating Slate, Hall of Heroes.
=====================
Description:
=====================
The Shock Jockey vigor is one of the more useful vigors that you will find
in game. Hitting the vigor button will fire off a wave of electricity that
will shock any enemies within a short distance in front of you and stun
them for a short period of time. Holding down the vigor button will allow
you to fire off a trap that takes the form of a series of crystals.
When upgraded, electricity will form networks between crystals, creating a
large field of damaging electricity. Again, these electricity traps have a
chance to stun enemy combatants.
Once you acquire Shock Jockey, you will occasionally come across pools or
puddles of water in the environment. Shooting off shock jockey into these
pools will damage or kill any enemies that get too close or stand in said
pool.
When you acquire them, shock Jockey can be used in conjunction with the
Possession, Murder of Crows and Undertow vigors to perform powerful
combination attacks.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Shock Duration Aid
______________________________/
Cost: $575
Effect: Increases stun duration.
Upgrade 2: Shock Chain Aid
______________________________/
Cost: $1265
Effect: Adds ability to chain lightning strikes from one enemy to others
nearby.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
01. Shock Jockey + Murder of Crows
___________________________________/
Use Murder of Crows on an enemy and then quickly switch to Shock Jockey and
hit them with that as well. This will electrify the swarm of crows, causing
both crow and fire damage over time whilst increasing your weapon damage to
the affected enemy.
02. Shock Jockey + Possession
______________________________/
Possess an enemy and then use the Shock Jockey vigor on them. The affected
enemy will run around, spreading electricity damage to other enemies in the
vicinity.
03. Shock Jockey + Undertow
____________________________/
Hold down the undertow button to draw an enemy to you. As they arrive, they
will float in front of you for a second or two, held in place by a tendril
of water. Whilst covered in water, hit them with a blast of Shock Jockey
to elecrocute them for an instant kill!
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Charge [VIGRC]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
In an office on the bridge between Shantytown and the Plaza of Zeal. Must be
obtained on the way back.
=====================
Description:
=====================
The Charge vigor is a melee based vigor that will allow you to extend the
reach and drastically increase the power of your standard melee attack.
Hitting the vigor button will do just that. Holding down the vigor button
will further increase the power of the melee attack that occurs when you
let go of the button.
When you acquire them, Charge can be used in conjunction with the Bucking
Bronco and Devil's Kiss vigors to perform powerful combination attacks.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Charge Boost
________________________/
Cost: $555
Effect: Adds explosive damage to the charge attack.
Upgrade 2: Charge Aid
________________________/
Cost: $1614
Effect: Gives the player temporary invulnerability whilst using the vigor
whilst also restoring the player's shield.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
01. Charge + Bucking Bronco
____________________________/
Use Bucking Bronco to suspend enemies in the air and then use the charge
vigor to launch them into the distance. Great for knocking enemies off of
cliffs!
02. Charge + Devil's Kiss
__________________________/
Toss a Devil's Kiss at a bad guy and then immediately do a charge attack
for extra damage.
Note that If you are going for the achievement/trophy for using all of the
vigor combinations, this particular combination can be difficult if you
have upgraded Devil's Kiss. If you are having trouble, equip the Burning
Halo piece of Gear and just use Charge normally. If the Halo effect goes
off during a Charge attack, it will count towards unlocking this one.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Undertow [VIGRU]
===============================================================================
Location:
=====================
The office before the belltower in the Factory
=====================
Description:
=====================
The Undertow vigor is one of my personal favourites. Hitting the vigor
button will create a burst of water directly in front of you pushing any
enemies within range to the floor (think Jedi force push!). This is
incredibly effective when standing close to the edge of a railing or when
taking on enemies aboard barges as the push can send them toppling over the
edge to their deaths.
The secondary fire is performed by holding the vigor button down whilst
targeting enemies. It creates a watery tendril that will grab them, draw
them to you and hold them in front of you. Releasing the button will have
them fall to the floor, but whilst they are suspended they will take
additional damage from your weapons.
Undertow's primary (button press) ability can be used on turrets to
temporarily short circuit them. it can also stun handymen.
Undertow can be used in conjunction with Shock Jockey for a powerful (and
quite lethal) combination attack.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Undertow Aid
__________________________/
Cost: $306
Effect: Doubles the effective range of the Undertow vigor.
Upgrade 2: Undertow Boost
__________________________/
Cost: $1143
Effect: Increases the number of enemies that can be pulled towards you
whilst using the charged version of the vigor.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
01. Undertow + Shock Jockey
____________________________/
Hold down the undertow button to draw an enemy to you. As they arrive, they
will float in front of you for a second or two, held in place by a tendril
of water. Whilst covered in water, hit them with a blast of Shock Jockey
to electrocute them for an instant kill!
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Return to Sender [VIGRR]
===============================================================================
Locations:
=====================
Port Prosperity, Emporia (optional task) OR Downtown Emporia.
=====================
Description:
=====================
The Return to Sender vigor is a more defensive vigor than any other.
Hitting the vigor button will create a piece of cover for you in the
form of a magnetic shield that will draw bullets nearby to it. Holding
the vigor button down creates a shield that Booker will carry around
in front of him. This will drain your salts, but you will absorb the
bullets. If you are holding it out in front, when the shield turns red,
if you let go of the button Booker will throw the red shield and all of
its absorbed damage at an enemy that you target.
The Return to Sender vigor can be upgraded to absorb bullets that are
fired at you. These will be added to your ammo count.
note that this vigor cannot be used in conjunction with any other
vigors for a combination attack.
=====================
Vigor Upgrades:
=====================
Upgrade 1: Send for Less
________________________/
Cost: $898
Effect: Increases the duration of the shield when pressing the button and
decreases the salt cost of the shield generated when holding the
vigor button.
Upgrade 2: Sender Aid
________________________/
Cost: $1287
Effect: Adds the ability to absorb and collect incoming ammunition.
=====================
Combination Attacks:
=====================
> There are no combination attacks for the Return to Sender vigor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
The weapons in Bioshock Infinite are pretty much run of the mill for any first
person shooter game. You have your stock standard pistol and the inevitable
shotguns, machine guns, rifles and the trusty old rocket/grenade launchers at
the meaty end of the damage scale. Interestingly, there is a pair of variants
for most weapon types on offer and often there is very little difference
between the two which makes some weapons choices seem a little redundant at
times. As with vigors, these can be upgraded.
To upgrade weapons, you must go to a Minuteman's Armory vending machine
and purchase them. Each weapon has four upgrades available, however the higher
end upgrades will not appear until late in the game. Just keep checking each
Minuteman's Armory vending machine that you come across!
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Broadsider Pistol - "Pistol"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
As with most shooters, the pistol is the starting weapon. it is also the first
weapon you are likely to dispose of when the next weapon comes around! Rounds
can be fired in fairly quick succession, making it a decent weapon to use on
stunned enemies.
=====================
Weapon Upgrades:
=====================
01. Damage Boost 1
___________________/
Cost: $199

===============================================================================
Paddywhacker Hand Cannon - "Hand Cannon"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The hand cannon is a pistol that appears later on in the game that packs a bit
more of a punch than the standard pistol. It does however trade off power for
slower rate of fire, a great deal of recoil, slower reload time and reduced
amount of ammo.

===============================================================================
Founder Triple R Machine Gun - "Machine Gun"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The machine gun has a high rate of fire and a decent ammo capacity. It is one
of the more useful weapons in the game, especially early on and is great for
taking down enemies under the effect of a vigor. Try to fire it in short bursts
so that the recoil remains negligable.

===============================================================================
Vox Repeater - "Repeater"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The repeater is the Vox Populi equivalent of the Founder Triple R Machine Gun.
This variation of the machine gun has a slightly larger clip size and ammo
capacity than the standard machine gun and is more subject to recoil as well.As
with the other machine gun, fire in short bursts to reduce the amount of
recoil. Again, this one is best used for mowing down enemies under the effect
of damage enhancing vigors (E.g. Murder of Crows, Bucking Bronco).

===============================================================================
China Broom Shotgun - "Shotgun"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the shotgun acts like the stock standard weapon that
we have all come to know love as shooter fans. It is brutal at close range
causing a huge amount of damage, but is next to useless against mid-long
range enemies. It has a lengthy reload time, meaning there is a lot of downtime
between clips which can be difficult whilst in the middle of a tough combat
situation. Probably best used as a secondary weapon that can be held onto for
when enemies get up close and personal.
=====================

===============================================================================
Vox Heater - "Heater"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
This is the Vox Populi equivalent of the China Broom Shotgun. It has a greater
propensity to causing damage, but has a much lower ammo reserve and clip size.
It has the same weaknesses as the standard shotgun with a lengthy reload time,
meaning there is a lot of downtime between clips which can be difficult whilst
in the middle of a tough combat situation. As with the founder shotgun variant,
it is probably best used as a secondary weapon that can be held onto for
when enemies get up close and personal.

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Founder Huntsman Carbine - "Carbine"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The carbine is one of the better weapons in the game. It has a decent clip
size, is most effective from mid-long range and has a fairly quick rate of
fire and damage output. When upgraded, there is very few weapons that can match
it's usefulness.
=====================

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Vox Burstgun - "Burstgun"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The Burstgun is the Vox Populi's version of the Founder Huntsman Carbine. It
has a similar ammo reserve and clip size but has a different fire method. The
burstgun has a scope and fires off a fairly accurate three round burst, the
only problem with it is that whilst it has a high rate of fire and accuracy, it
has a decreased amount of damage when compared with the regular Carbine.
=====================

===============================================================================
Bird's Eye Sniper Rifle - "Sniper Rifle"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The sniper rifle in Bioshock Infinite is a great weapon, not only does it do a
massive amount of damage, it is highly accurate. Its bolt-action orientation
means that there is a slow rate of fire, but this can be upgraded to minimise
waiting time.
=====================

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Barnstormer RPG - "RPG"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The RPG is found hidden away in a number of areas in Bioshock Infinite and is
the weapon of choice of the Founder/Vox rocketeers. It fires a projectile that
explodes on impact and packs quite a punch if you can hit someone with it.
Unfortunately without upgrades, the projectile speed is quite slow and unless
you are targeting a turret, or some other slow moving or stationary object, you
are very unlikely to hit anything unless you are at close-mid range.
=====================

===============================================================================
Founder Pig Volley Gun - "Volley Gun"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The volley gun is Bioshock Infinite's grenade launcher. Like the RPG it fires
explosive rounds, but to distinguish itself from the RPG, it can fire multiple
rounds at a fairly good rate of fire. The Volley fire does not shoot in a
direct line however and you will need to lob the shots in order to hit your
targets. Whilst it does have a better rate of fire than the RPG, the aiming
mechanism is a little harder to wrap your head around and the projectiles
themselves cause a lower amount of damage.
=====================

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Vox Hail Fire - "Hail Fire"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The Vox Hail Fire is the Vox Populi equivalent weapon of the Founder Pig Volley
Gun. It has essentially the same set up as the Volley Gun in that you need to
lob the projectiles in order to hit your targets and again, whilst it does have
a better rate of fire than the RPG, the projectiles themselves cause a lower
amount of damage. The unique thing about this weapon is that if you hold down
the fire button, you can choose when to detonate the projectile - when you let
go of the button, the projectile will explode. This allows you to bounce it off
walls and the ground if you wish.
=====================

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Peppermill Crank Gun - "Crank Gun"
===============================================================================
Description:
=====================
The Peppermill Crank gun can only be acquire from detroying a Motorized Patriot
or through a tear that Elizabeth opens. It is a mini-gun and as such has an
extremely high rate of fire and causes a massive amount of damage. The only
problem is that is takes a short amount of time to warm up before firing and
once you have expended all of the ammo, you will have to discard it as there
is no ammo for it to be picked up or purchased in the game.
This weapon has no upgrades.

| Equippable Gear & Passive Bonuses |
|___________________________________|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
Gear is a new addition to the Bioshock franchise and replaces the tonics from
the first two games. Equipped gear provides players with useful passive bonus
abilities that vary greatly between the various bits and pieces. There are four
types of Gear that can be found: Hats, Shirts, Pants and Boots and players can
equip one of each type at a time, allowing four to be equipped simultaneously.
Gear can be found in small gift wrapped boxes either from defeating some of the
more powerful enemies such as handymen or located tucked away in hard to find
places.
There is a large number of different pieces of Gear in the game and picked up
Gear is randomised. This means that picking up the same box twice is unlikely
to yield the same piece of gear. For locations of all the gifts containing
pieces of Gear in the game, check out the guide after this shortcut:
> Gear Locations Guide ........... [GRCTL]
Below is a list of all of the pieces of gear that I have found in the game to
date along with the in-game description of the effect they give. They are
organised alphabetically and by slot. Use the following shortcuts to jump down
to the desired sub-category quickly:
> Equippable Gear - Hats ......... [G3ARH]
> Equippable Gear - Shirts ....... [G3ARS]
> Equippable Gear - Pants ........ [G3ARP]
> Equippable Gear - Boots ........ [G3ARB]
I have also included the available DLC Gear. These include those obtained from
the Early Bird DLC (from purchasing the Season Pass), Collector's Edition DLC
and the Industrial Revolution DLC. When unlocked, these pieces of gear will be
availbale to equip from the Gear section of the menu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: To get yourself a Industrial revolution DLC code, go to the following
website:(http://www.finkmanufacturing.com/) and play through the puzzles
until you unlock it.

===============================================================================
There is an abundance of hostility going down in Columbia and Booker is sure to
be on the recieveing end of a lot of it. As such, it is best to be prepared!
Below you'll find a list of the enemies you will encounter during your time
playing Bioshock Infinite, a little about each and a tactic or two on how to
eliminate them in an efficient manner.
Enemies are listed in order of appearance:
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Founder Policeman \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Raffle Square, Battleship Bay, Finkton Docks, Finkton
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The policemen are one type of the standard fodder enemies present in
Bioshock Infinite. They only appear very early on in the game and are
usually equipped with pistols and melee batons. They are relatively weak,
with a few shots from a pistol or a melee swing or two killing them. A
headshot will result in an instant kill against these guys.
_____________________________
\____________________________________________/ New Enemy: Founder Policeman\
\_____________________________/
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Automated Turret \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Almost everywhere!
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
Auto-turrets are a common sight in Columbia and are similar to the turrets
encountered in previous Bioshock games. They resemble world war one era
soldiers (torso and up) with a machine gun in front. They will remain
inactive until they see you at which point they will open fire. They have
a high rate of fire and are extremely accurate. There are two types of
these turrets: one with a machine gun and one equipped with an RPG.
Auto turrets are automatons and as such have a colored indicator to let
you know what their status is at a glance. The green light indicates that
the auto-turret has not seen you and will not attack. A yellow light
indicates that the turret has spotted you and is warning you to stop (if
you duck out of sight at this point, they will return to green). Finally,
red status means that they have seen you and are attacking.
The auto-turrets can be possessed with the Possession vigor to become a
temporary ally. This is useful for both distracting enemy units and adding
additional damage to yours. This is especially useful at the front end of
the game before finding/upgrading more advanced weapons and vigors.
_____________________________
\____________________________________________/ New Enemy: Automated Turret \
\_____________________________/
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Fireman \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Raffle Square, Hall of Heroes, The Factory, Emporia
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The fireman are a little tougher than your average infantry units as they
are equipped with a bit of fire resistant armour. They will spend most
fights throwing grenades at you using the Devil’s kiss vigor and as such
you will need to continue to keep moving when fighting against them to
avoid constant splash damage the subsequent explosions dish out. If you
get in to close to him, he will send out a fiery shockwave that will
damage you and set you on fire, doing a little damage over time to you as
well.
Fireman can absorb a lot of damage and at least at the start of the game
headshots are an effective way to deal with them as they seem to do the
most damage. As you progress through the game, new vigors and weapons
become available to make things a little easier for you.
Once they have lost a good portion of their health, the fireman will
explode. Before they do, they will have a grenade indicator appear over
their heads. At this point, they will stop lobbing grenades and will
charge at you in an attempt to catch you in their explosion. Either shoot
them down quickly or run away until they explode.
_____________________________
\____________________________________________/ New Enemy: Fireman \
\_____________________________/
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Founder Soldier \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Comstock Centre, Monument Island, Soldier's Field, Shantytown, The
Factory, Emporia, Comstock House, The Hand of the Prophet
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The founder soldiers are a more advanced version of the policemen that we
encountered earlier and a little harder to kill. They are decked out in
body armour and helmets, making them a little more resistant to damage
that their policemen colleagues. They are also equipped with more advanced
weapons including machine guns, carbines and shotguns. They will take
cover and try to kill you from safety and will run between cover to get a
better angle on your position. As with the previous enemy types, aim for
the head and stay in cover to deal with these guys in a time-effective
manner.
_____________________________
\____________________________________________/ New Enemy: Founder Soldier \
\_____________________________/
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Raven Cultist \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Fraternal Order of the Raven, Comstock Centre
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
As with the policemen we encountered earlier, the cultists are another
type of the standard fodder enemies present in Bioshock Infinite. They
only appear at one area in the game and are equipped with pistols, machine
guns and large clubs. They are relatively weak, with a few shots from a
pistol or a melee swing or two killing them. A headshot will result in an
instant kill against these guys.
_____________________________
\____________________________________________/ New Enemy: Raven Cultist \
\_____________________________/
______________________________
/ New Enemy: The Crow \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Comstock Centre, Hall of Heroes, Emporia
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
Crows, like the fireman we ran into earlier in the game are equipped with
a vigor and as such, they have attacks that highlight the use of that
vigor. Their vigor is the Murder of Crows. The Crow attacks with a melee
club weapon and is able to transform into a flock of crows rendering him
invincible for a short period of time.
The trick to beating the crow is to get him out of his crow form so that
you can kill him. Unfortunately he only does this when he is close enough
to get a melee attack in on you. As such, in order to kill him easier,
plant traps by using charged up vigors and lure him into them. The Devil’s
Kiss trap is especially useful as the fiery explosion causes damage over
time. Once the traps go off, he will be in a humanoid form and knocked to
the ground or stunned for a few seconds. Take this opportunity to fill him
with lead. You’ll probably need to repeat the process a few times, but
it’s really not that difficult once you know how to handle them.

/ New Enemy: Slate's Veterans \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Hall of Heroes
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
Slate’s veterans are found throughout the Hall of Heroes and like the
Founder Soldiers are more advanced variant of the standard fodder enemies
in the game. They are a little harder to kill as they are more resistant
to damage the standard fodder bad guys. They are also equipped with more
advanced weapons including machine guns, carbines and shotguns. As with
the soldiers, they will take cover and try to kill you from safety and
will run between cover to get a better angle on your position. As with the
previous enemy types, aim for the head and stay in cover to deal with
these guys in a time-effective manner.
_____________________________
\____________________________________________/ New Enemy: Slate's Veterans \
\_____________________________/
______________________________
/ New Enemy: Motorized Patriot \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Hall of Heroes, Soldier's Field, Emporia, Hand of the Prophet
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The motorized patriots are one of the more difficult enemies you will
encounter in the game and are large, durable robotic automatons with a
large reserve of armour making them very resistant to damage, it also
means they will never seek cover and continue to proceed towards you even
in the face of gunfire. They are slow moving and are equipped with the
Peppermill Crank Gun – a minigun that can dish out enormous amounts of
damage due to its very high rate of fire. They can also perform a
devastating melee attack if you get in too close to them.
The motorized patriot’s major weak point is the gears located in the
centre of its back. To reach it, your best bet is to plant a trap to stun
it or to attempt to outmanoeuvre the patriot. Note that vigors that cause
increased damage for your weapons such as Murder of Crows and Devil’s Kiss
will make life a little easier against these guys. Once you obtain it,
the Shock Jockey vigor is also quite effective at chain stunning the
patriots.
The Patriots are automatons and as such have a colored indicator to let
you know what their status is at a glance. The green light indicates that
the Patriot has not seen you and will not attack. A yellow light indicates
that it has spotted you and is warning you to stop (if you duck out of
sight at this point, they will return to green). Finally, red status
means that they have seen you and are attacking.
Note that these automatons can be possessed with the Possession vigor and
at some points during the game, can be brought through tears to become
temporary allies

/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
These Founder soldiers are tougher than your standard run of the mill
soldier type. They are heavily armoured, so are more durable to not only
weapon damage, but explosive damage too. These guys are equipped with RPGs
and are quite accurate. Traps and headshots are the way to defeating these
enemies.
Note there are both Vox and Founder variants of the grenadier.

/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
Mosquitos are similar to the auto-turrets and rocket auto-turrets except
instead of being locked in place, they are suspended from balloons in the
air, allowing them freedom of movement and a nice view over any potential
battlefield.
Mosquitos, like the other forms of turrets are automatons and as such have
a colored indicator to let you their status is at a glance. The green light
indicates that it has not yet seen you and will not attack. A yellow light
indicates that the mosquito has spotted you and is warning you to stop (if
you duck out of sight at this point, they will return to green). Finally,
red status means that they have seen you and are attacking.
As with the auto-turrets mosquitos can be possessed with the Possession
vigor or brought in through tears to become a temporary ally. This is
useful for both distracting enemy units and adding additional damage to
yours.

\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \

Finkton, The Factory, Emporia, Hand of the Prophet
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The Handymen are one of the most difficult enemies you will encounter
during your time in Columbia. They are large, golem-like enemies that are
incredibly strong, very fast and extremely durable to damage. The
handymen can leap large distances to close ground between you and them
very quickly. They will always remain unarmed and will often try to get in
close to DeWitt in order to unleash a charge or melee attack.
In addition, they are smart enough to occasionally take cover and will
throw other enemy units or electricity bolts at you if you are out of
reach. Even sky-lines are not safe for long with handymen around as they
can jump up onto a sky-line and electrify it, causing significant damage
if you are attached at the time.
The handyman’s weak spots are its large glowing heart in the centre of its
torso and its head. Using traps to stun them does work, but the safest
tactic is to kite them around and when you are a safe distance, turn
around, shoot them a few times and run off again.

/Description & general tactics: \

As with the policemen or the cultists we faced early on in the game, the
applicants are yet another type of standard fodder enemies present in
Bioshock Infinite. They only appear during the Plaza of Zeal areas of the
game and are usually equipped with pistols, shotguns and melee weapons.
They are relatively weak, with a few shots from a pistol or a melee swing
or two killing them. A headshot will result in an instant kill against
these guys.

As with the rocketeer, these Founder/Vox soldiers are tougher than your
standard run of the mill soldier type. They are heavily armoured, so are
more durable to not only weapon damage, but explosive damage too. These
guys are equipped with grenade launchers and are quite accurate. Using
cover and whilst advancing and planting headshots are the fastest way to
defeating these enemies. Sticking vigor effects on them that increase
weapon damage (e.g. Murder of Crows, bucking Bronco) is also a good way to
whittle away their health a little quicker.
Note that there are both Vox and Founder variants of the grenadier.

/ New Enemy:Large Rocket Turret\____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Shantytown, Hand of the Prophet
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
We'll only encounter the large rocket turrets a few times during the game,
but they are quite a formiddable force when you do encounter them. They
appear as large, bronze/copper objects featuring a number of barrels that
can quickly loose numerous rockets in your direction. As they can burn a
large amount of ground in mere seconds, it is important to either find some
good cover or keep moving (sky-lines are great for this) when you encounter
them.
In addition to wall mounted turrets, these can also be found on the
underside of some zeppelins and gunships. On these vehicles, destroying the
large rocket turret will also destroy the vehicle.
Unlike other automatons, this form of turret is not susceptible to the
Possession vigor.

/ New Enemy: Vox Soldiers \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \

_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The Vox soldiers are almost identical to the Founder soldiers except they
are equipped with Vox weapon variants instead. As such they are a more
advanced version of the standard fodder enemies such as the policemen and
Fink applicants that we encountered earlier and a little harder to kill.
They are more heavily armoured, making them a little more resistant to and
are also equipped with more advanced weapons including repeaters, heaters
and burst guns.
As with the regular Founder soldiers, the Vox soldiers will take cover and
try to kill you from safety and will run between cover to get a better
angle on your position. As with the previous enemy types, aim for the head
and stay in cover to deal with these guys in a time-effective manner.

/ New Enemy: Siren \____________________________________________
\______________________________/ \
/Locations: \
\___________/
Emporia
_______________________________
/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The siren is one of the tougher enemies you will encounter in the game.
They appear as ghosts in appearance and have a number of abilities that
make encounters with them difficult. Firstly, they have a shockwave attack
they will unleash if you get too close to her that will force you back and
is quite damaging.
Secondly, and most annoyingly, sirens have the ability to resurrect dead
people...dead people with guns. She won’t just stop at one or two zombies
either; she will continue to spawn them until she has a veritable army.
Additionally the siren has the ability to perform short range teleportation
similar to the crows so she can escape your attacks and spawn enemies
elsewhere.
When facing the siren, you need to weigh up whether to attack the ghost
directly or to kill the enemies she has spawned. When she dies, all of the
spawned enemies will die as well, however she usually stays at the back of
the battlefield or stays very mobile moving from place to place making
shooting her difficult without being shot to pieces by her thralls.
For those favoring a direct assault, the Return to Sender vigor is |
| quite useful in protecting you from damage whilst you attack her |
| directly whilst also giving you an offensive tool in the throwable |
| shield.
A good tactic is to throw Devil’s Kiss or Shock Jockey traps at her whilst
she is stationary and reviving enemies as when the enemies hit the floor,
they will also activate the trap damaging her and killing or wounding
almost all of them in the process.

/Locations: \

Comstock House

/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The Mannequins only appear in Comstock house. You will find they looked
like a partially phased out version of citizens with creepy masks on. They
are usually found in large groups of 8-10 guarding a room. They remain
relatively still and are passive, even if you walk up and touch them. They
will stay like this until you alert a Boy of Silence. When alerted to your
presence, they will rush you in a large pack and use melee attacks to
damage you.
As with the policemen or the cultists they are relatively weak, their
danger lies in the large numbers. If you do accidentally alert a pack of
them, you should cut large circles around the area to draw them together
and drop traps into their midst as you go. Fortunately conflict with
these guys can almost always be avoided, as long as you don’t bother the
Boy of Silence in their room.

/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
The Boys of Silence, like the mannequins are only found in a short section
of the game in Comstock house. They can be identified by the large metal
helmet on their heads with the large earpieces sticking out on either
side.
These guys act sort of like the security cameras in Rapture from the first
two Bioshock games. They Stand in a specific location and will survey the
room around them. You can tell where they are looking by the spotlight
that illuminates the area they are investigating. If they look at you, the
spotlight will turn yellow and they will assume an action pose. If you are
unable to escape his gaze behind cover for a second or two whilst the beam
is focused on you and yellow, it will turn red and the Boy of Silence will
sound an alarm before teleporting from the room.
The alarm will cause all of the mannequins in the immediate area to attack
you.

/Description & general tactics: \
\_______________________________/
These Founder soldiers are just like regular soldiers. They use the same
weapons (shotguns, machine guns etc.) and tactics as the regular soldiers.
Where they differ is in their armour. As with the rocketeers/grenadiers
these enemies are heavily armoured, so are more durable to vigor, weapon
and explosive damage. As with the other armoured enemies, traps,
sustainable vigors that increase weapon damage and headshots are the order
of the day when facing these enemies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
There is a huge number of Collectibles littered throughout your journey through
Columbia and they come in a number of forms. This collectible locations guide
will give you a complete list of all of the different collectibles in the game
sorted by type and then checkpoint. I have included a brief description for the
location of each collectible to assist you in finding them.
The different collectibles include:
> 80 Voxophones. These collectibles are small tape recorders that allow you
to listen recorded messages from some of Columbia's more prominent
residents. Listening to these gives you a little extra back story into the
city and its people. Collecting all 80 will unlock the 'Eavesdropper'
achievement/trophy.
> 26 Kinetoscopes. The Kinetoscopes are similar to the Voxophones in
relaying some additional back story to the denezins of columbia, but they
do it visually. Using a kinetoscope shows a short, silent movie about the
titular topic. Watching all 26 Kinetoscope and using all 11 telescopes will
unlock the achievement/trophy 'Sightseer'.
> 11 Telescopes. Telescopes are found in a number of locations in Columbia
and allow you to zoom in on specific structures or landmarks nearby.
using all 11 telescopes and watching all 26 Kinetoscopes will unlock the
achievement/trophy 'Sightseer'.
> 25 Infusion Upgrades. Infusion Upgrades are used to increase the base
attributes of your Health, Shield or Salt status bars. The first infusion
is given to you as a shield, the following 24 allow you to choose which
of the three attributes you want to improve. Collecting all 25 Infusion
Upgrades will earn you the achievement/trophy 'Infused with Greatness'.
> Equippable Gear. Although its technically not a collectible that works
towards unlocking achievements, it is incredibly useful. Gear can be found
in small gift wrapped boxes either from defeating some of the more
powerful enemies such as handymen or located tucked away in hard to find
places. Gear gives Booker some passive perks that alter gameplay in some
way, usually to make things easier.
Here are some shorcuts to allow you to quickly jump down to the collectible/s
that you are interested in locating:

the 'Eavesdropper' achievement/trophy.

Kinetoscope & Telescope Locations [KSCTL]
===============================================================================
I have listed the Kinetoscopes and Telescopes together as you will need to find
and use all of them in order to unlock the 'Sightseer Trophy/achievement. A
little bit of information about each:
There are a total of 26 Kinetoscopes in Columbia. The Kinetoscopes are similar
to the Voxophones in relaying some additional back story to the denezins of
Columbia, but they do it visually. Using a kinetoscope shows a short, silent
movie about the titular topic. Unlike any other collectible, some Kinetoscopes
appear multiple times throughout the game. They will only count the first time
that they appear. As such I have only listed the first instance of each.
There are a total of 11 Telescopes in the game. Telescopes are found in a
number of locations in Columbia and allow you to zoom in on specific structures
or landmarks nearby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that you do not need to collect all of these in a single playthrough to
unlock the achievement as you are able to load checkpoints from the main
menu and gather any that you have missed.

Equippable Gear Locations [GRCTL]
===============================================================================
Although the gear in Bioshock are technically not collectibles that work
towards unlocking achievements/trophies, it is incredibly useful. Gear can be
found in small gift wrapped boxes either from defeating some of the more
powerful enemies such as handymen or located tucked away in hard to find
places. Gear gives Booker some passive perks that alter gameplay in some way,
usually to make things easier.
There is a large number of different pieces of Gear in the game and picked up
Gear is randomised. This means that picking up the same box twice is unlikely
to yield the same piece of gear.
For a list of all the equippable gear available in the game check out the
list after this shortcut:
> Equippable Gear ......... [G3AR0]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The following list may be incomplete. As there are no
achievements/trophies tied into these items and there is no in-game stat
tracker that I am aware of, it is entirely possible that i may have missed some
Gear locations. If you find one that is not listed, please head down to the
contact section below and swing me an email!

| 1999 Mode Hints, Tips and Strategies |
|______________________________________|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
1999 Mode is an unlockable gameplay mode in Bioshock Infinite that plays around
with a few gameplay elements and tweaks the difficulty to make the game harder
and more challenging than a standard run through the campaign. It is a
throwback to tougher, more difficult games in the 90’s that did not include a
whole lot of hand holding, checkpoints and objective markers to be accessible
to the masses and as such can be a little tough for the average gamer.
The 1999 Mode can be unlocked in two different ways:
1. By completing the Bioshock Infinite campaign on any difficulty.
2. Entering the Konami Code at the main menu. Key presses:
> Playstation 3: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, O, X
> Xbox 360 : Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
> PC (Default) : Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right,Esc,Enter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: for unlocking the 1999 Mode, you will unlock the achievement/trophy
‘Should Auld Acquaintance’.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once unlocked, 1999 Mode can be selected from the main menu. Whilst playing
through 1999 Mode, there are a few changes to the standard gameplay that should
be noted before you begin. These include:
> If you die, the respawn cost has increased to $100. If you have
insufficient funds to respawn upon death, the game will boot you to the
main menu and you will have to start all over again.
> There are fewer Player respawn areas and checkpoints. Enemies will regain
a large amount of their health upon the event of Booker respawning.
> Player’s total health pool is smaller in size and will deplete much
faster than the standard difficulties.
> Shields take a few seconds longer to start regenerating and will also
recharge at a slower rate than usual.
> Enemies have higher health and can cause more damage.
> Enemies drop less ammo when killed and there is less ammo lying around in
the environment.
> You can no longer use the Navigation arrow to show you where to go.
There are three achievements /trophies that are tied into 1999 Mode: ‘Should
Auld Acquaintance’, will unlock once you have unlocked 1999 Mode, whilst ‘Auld
Lang Syne’ is awarded upon completion of the game on 1999 Mode and ‘Scavenger
Hunt’ is awarded upon completion of the game on 1999 mode without spending any
money at the Dollar Bill vending machines.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
1999 Hints and Tips [H1999]
===============================================================================
There is no doubt that 1999 mode is much more challenging than the standard
difficulties and the tweaks to gameplay change the focus of gameplay a great
deal. As this is the case, here are a few tips and tricks that will help you
out in completing the 1999 Mode and make your progress through it a little less
painful.
> Loot everything! There is less money lying around in this mode and you
need it for both upgrading your weapons/vigors AND respawning, so it is
imperative to check every object and grab every silver eagle you come
across.
> You need to hold onto as much money as possible in order to prevent
perma-death and a game restart. As such, you will want to only upgrade
one or two weapons (one long range and one short-mid range) and a vigor
or two that you feel comfortable with.
> Find and use your lock picks. They will grant you access to extra
infusions, equippable gear and safes containing precious silver dollars.
By following the above walkthrough, you should have more than enough lock
picks to open every lock in the game.
> Pick up all of the infusions! They will boost your base stats well above
the starting level and give you more of a chance against the denizens of
Columbia.
> As you pick up infusions, focus on maxing out your shield first, whilst
health and salts are also important, the shield can regenerate on its own
and supplement Booker’s health bar. The more shields you have the longer
you can live in a fight!
> Upgrade Possession with ‘Possession Aid’ to make sure that you can
convert just about any foe into a temporary ally. Two guns are better
than one!

===============================================================================
There are 10 achievements/trophies tied into the games combat system and using
the environments, tears and sky-lines to kill opposition forces in specific
ways.
Here's a list of said achievements/trophies and how to accomplish each:
==============================
On the Fly
==============================
Description: Killed 30 enemies while riding a Sky-Line.
How to: Whilst riding on a sky-line, shoot and kill 30 enemies. Use the
throttle or decelerate and use the iron sights on your weapons to make
this task a little easier.
==============================
Bolt From the Blue
==============================
Description: Killed 5 enemies with a headshot while riding a Sky-Line.
How to: Whilst riding on a sky-line, you need to kill 5 enemies with a head
shot. grab a carbine or a sniper rifle (these are the easiest weapons
for the task) and hop on a sky-line. Use the decelerate function to
slow down your movement on the sky-line and use the iron sights on your
carbine or the scope on the sniper rifle to make it easier to line up
your shots.
==============================
Aerial Assassin
==============================
Description: Killed 20 enemies with a Sky-Line Strike.
How to: Whilst riding a sky-line, you can put your reticule on enemies on the
ground below you. A small, yellow indicator will appear on the ground
below them when they are susceptible to a sky-line attack. Hit the jump
button when this occurs to launch down and land on them. Note that you
should only do these on the weaker enemies as it will kill them. Do
this 20 times to unlock the achievement/trophy.
==============================
Industrial Accident
==============================
Description: Killed 20 enemies with a Sky-Hook Execution.
How to: The sky-hook is your melee weapon and a sky-hook execution can be
performed on enemies who are low on health. If you are close to an
enemy with low health you will see a small skull appear over their
heads, when you see that hold down the melee attack button and Booker
will perform an execution. Repeat another 19 times to unlock this
achievement/trophy!
==============================
Strange Bedfellows
==============================
Description: Killed 20 enemies using allies brought in through a Tear.
How to: Once you reach the Hall of Heroes, Elizabeth will gain the ability to
use tears in the environment to bring in weapons, frieght hooks, auto-
turrets, pieces of cover and environmental hazards. To earn this
achievement/trophy you need to bring through allies - auto-turrets,
mosquitos and Motorized Patriots during combat and have them kill
enemies. Once 20 have been dispatched by this method, this one will
unlock.
==============================
Bon Voyage
==============================
Description: Killed 20 enemies by knocking them off Columbia.
How to: you are able to attempt this once you have picked up the Bucking Bronco
and Undertow vigors. During combat, try to find enemies standing near
railings, edges or on the dropships. Use the vigors here and they
should be knocked off the edge to their deaths. If you are not having
much luck with Bucking Bronco, once you pick up Undertow at the Factory
you'll find it much more effective.
A good place to farm this type of kills is to load up the 'Hand of the
Prophet' chapter. Get on the gunship that transports you to the
prophet's zeppelin. As you proceed a number of dropships will attack
you along the way. Hop onto those dropships and use Undertow to clear
the deck of enemies in a single blow. Reload the previous checkpoint
and do it again until you have enough kills.
Once 20 people have been killed like this, the achievement/trophy will
unlock.
==============================
Skeet Shoot
==============================
Description: Killed 5 enemies while they are falling.
How to: Again, we'll need to use the Bucking Bronco and Undertow vigors to help
us out. Use bucking Bronco to knock enemies in the air and wait for
them to drop once the elevation effect wears of and shoot them on the
way down before they hit the floor.
Alternatively, you can use the Undertow vigor. Use the secondary
function to grab enemies to you. As they are on the way, let go of the
vigor button and pull out a machine gun or some other mid-range weapon
to shoot them before they land.
Once 5 people have been killed like this, the achievement/trophy will
unlock.
==============================
Hazard Pay
==============================
Description: Killed 10 enemies by utilizing environmental hazards.
How to: During the way through Columbia, you will find a number of
environmental hazards that we can use to help dispatch enemies. These
include firework barrels, oil slicks that can be ignited with the
Devil's Kiss vigor and water puddles which can be electrified by using
the Shock Jockey vigor.
Once 10 enemies have been killed like this, the achievement/trophy will
unlock.
==============================
David & Goliath
==============================
Description: Killed 20 "Heavy Hitter" enemies.
How to: As you progress through the game you will encounter a number of heavy
enemies called 'heavy hitters'. These include:
> Crows
> Firemen
> Motorized Patriots
> Handymen
> Sirens
> Boys of Silence.
Once you have killed 20 of these types of bad guys, the
achievement/trophy will unlock. As long as you kill all the enemies you
encounter throughout the game, you will likely get this before you
finish your first playthrough.
==============================
Heartbreaker
==============================
Description: Killed a Handyman by only shooting his heart.
How to: When you are fighting with a handyman, you will notice that they have
a large weak spot in the centre of their chests. This is their heart.
To earn this achievement/trophy you will need to kill a handyman by
only hitting their heart. This can be quite tricky as the handymen can
move around extremely quickly.
Here are a few tips to make this a little easier:
1. Play on a lower difficulty. this will reduce the number of shots
you need to hit him with to kill him.
2. If you have the Handyman Nemesis Gear (unlocked by playing the
Industrial Revoultion mini-game that you can find here:
(http://www.finkmanufacturing.com/). This will increase damage
you do to handymen by 50%.
3. Make sure you clear out the area of other enemies before
focusing on the handyman so you won't be distracted.

Vigor Specfic Achievements/Trophies [ACMT4]
===============================================================================
The following 5 achievements/trophies are unlocked upon experimentation with
the game's vigors. They require you to unleash all of the combination attacks
in the game, kill a certain number of enemies under the influence of vigors and
using specific vigors to perform certain tasks.
Here are the related achievements/trophies:
==============================
Well Rounded
==============================
Description: Used all 8 Vigors against enemies.
How to: Simply use all 8 of the available vigors on enemies during the game.
Although it is fairly obvious, here is a list of the vigors that are
in the game and a brief description as to where you can find them for
the first time:
> Possession ------> From the fairground in the Welcome Centre.
> Devil's Kiss ----> Defeating the first Fireman enemy.
> Murder of Crows -> Defeating the first Crow enemy.
> Bucking Bronco --> On the way to the Hall of Heroes.
> Shock Jockey ----> From Slate at the Hall of Heroes.
> Charge ----------> In an office on the bridge between
Shantytown and the Plaza of Zeal. Must be
picked up on the way back!
> Undertow --------> In the final room of the Factory before
the clock tower.
> Return to Sender-> In the secret room in the Salty Oyster
Bar in Port Prosperity.
==============================
Vigorous Opposition
==============================
Description: Killed 75 enemies either with a Vigor or while the enemy is under
the effects of a Vigor.
How to: This is one of those achievements that you will work away at over time.
enemies that you kill using a vigor attack, or those that are under the
influence of a damage over time/crowd control vigor attack (e.g Murder
of Crows, Bucking Bronco, Undertow, Devil's Kiss etc.) when you shoot
them to death will count. Once you have killed 75 of them in this
manner, the achievement/trophy will unlock. If you only use vigors
semi-regularly, you should still get this one before the end of your
first playthrough.
==============================
Mind Over Matter
==============================
Description: Killed 20 enemies using Possessed machines.
How to: This achievement requires the Possession ability. You must use the
vigor to possess machines and have them kill your enemies for you. The
machines that can be possessed include: Auto-turrets, Rocket turrets,
Mosquitos and Motorized patriots.
==============================
More for Your Money
==============================
Description: Lured 3 enemies into a single Vigor trap 5 times.
How to: This one requires that you plant a trap and have it go off and damage
three enemies simultaneously. After you've done it once, repeat the
process another 4 times until it unlocks.
A great place to earn this one is whilst fighting the sirens in the
Memorial Gardens. When she brings back the dead, 3-4 enemies will
appear around her and float beside her for a few moments. Plant a trap
on the ground below them. When the enemies land, the trap will go off
and damage them all.
The best traps to use for this purpose are the Devil's kiss, Murder of
Crows and Bucking Bronco.
==============================
Combination Shock
==============================
Description: Performed all 8 of the Vigor combinations.
How to: There are eight vigor combination attacks in the game that can be used
by using a pair of vigors on an enemy in quick succession. here is a
list of the combinations that count towards the achievement/trophy
and a short description about what they do:
1. Devil's Kiss + Possession ------> Possess an enemy and then use
Devil's Kiss on them. The
affected enemy will run
around, spreading flames to
other enemies in the area.
2. Devil's Kiss + Murder of Crows -> Lights the crows on fire,
causing both crow and fire
damage over time whilst
increasing your weapon damage
to the affected enemy.
3. Devil's Kiss + Bucking Bronco --> Use Bucking Bronco to suspend
enemies in the air and then
use the Devil's Kiss vigor to
hit them to cause a chain
explosion.
4. Devil's Kiss + Charge ---------> Toss a Devil's Kiss at a bad
guy and then immediately do
a charge attack for extra
damage. This can be difficult
if you have upgraded Devil's
Kiss, so if you are having
trouble, equip the Burning
Halo piece of Gear and just
use Charge normally. If the
Halo effect goes off during a
Charge attack, it will count
towards unlocking this one.
5. Bucking Bronco + Charge --------> Use Bucking Bronco to suspend
enemies in the air and then
use the charge vigor to launch
them into the distance. Great
for knocking enemies off of
cliffs!
6. Shock Jockey + Possession ------> Possess an enemy and then use
Shock Jockey on them. The
affected enemy will run
around, spreading electricity
damage to other enemies in the
vicinity.
7. Shock Jockey + Murder of Crows--> Electrifies the swarm of
crows, causing both crow and
fire damage over time whilst
increasing your weapon damage
to the affected enemy.
8. Shock Jockey + Undertow --------> Hold down the undertow button
to draw an enemy to you. As
they arrive, they will float
in front of you for a second
or two, held in place by a
tendril of water. Hit them
with a blast of Shock Jockey
to electrify them for an
instant kill!
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Weapon Specfic Achievements/Trophies [ACMT5]
===============================================================================
The following 9 achievements are related to picking up and using all of the
weapons that are located throughout Columbia. In order to unlock all of these
achievements/trophies you must kill the specified number of enemies with the
weapon listed.
Here's a list of said achievements/trophies:
> A Real Pistol --------------> Killed 25 enemies with the Broadsider
Pistol.
> Passionately Reciprocated --> Killed 150 enemies with the Founder Triple
R Machine Gun or Vox Repeater.
> Street Sweeper -------------> Killed 50 enemies with the Founder China
Broom Shotgun or Vox Heater.
> Big Game Hunter ------------> Killed 100 enemies with the Founder
Huntsman Carbine or Vox Burstgun.
> Loose Cannon ---------------> Killed 25 enemies with the Paddywhacker
Hand Cannon.
> Seasoned to Taste ----------> Killed 30 enemies with the Peppermill
Crank Gun.
> On a Clear Day... ----------> Killed 30 enemies with the Bird's Eye
Sniper Rifle.
> Master of Pyrotechnics -----> Killed 20 enemies with the Barnstormer RPG.
> Here Little Piggy ----------> Killed 30 enemies with the Founder Pig
Volley Gun or Vox Hail Fire.
An easy way to do this is to load up a chapter with enemies near the start,
choose a weapon and kill as many as you can. When you run out of ammo, reload
the previous checkpoint. The kills from the previous run through will have been
counted. As such you can just repeat the process of killing and reloading
until the achievement/trophy unlocks.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Upgrade specfic Achievements/Trophies [ACMT6]
===============================================================================
These achievements/trophies are all centred around levelling up Booker and his
weapons/vigors. Here is the list of relevant achievements/trophies for this
section:
==============================
Raising the Bar
==============================
Description: Upgraded one attribute (Health, Shield, or Salts) to its maximum
level.
How to: To upgrade Booker's attributes, you need to find and pick up Upgrade
Infusions. There are 25 of these in the game. Each time you pick one up
you are given the option to increase Booker's health, shield or salt
capacity. To earn the achievement/trophy you must max out one of these
three attributes.
==============================
Kitted Out
==============================
Description: Fully upgraded one weapon and one Vigor.
How to: To upgrade weapons, you must go to a Minuteman's Armory vending machine
and purchase them. Each weapon has four upgrades available, however the
higher end upgrades will not appear until late in the game. Just keep
checking each Minuteman's Armory vending machine that you come across!
To upgrade Booker's Vigors, you must go to the Veni! Vidi! Vigor!
vending machines. You are able to buy the upgrades here. There are two
upgrades available for each vigor and like the weapon upgrades, some of
the better upgrades will not make an appearance until late in the game.
Just keep popping into the machines when you see them to check for new
upgrades!
Once you have fully upgraded one weapon and one vigor, this one will
unlock for you!
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Collectible Achievements/Trophies [ACMT7]
===============================================================================
These four achievements/trophies are tied into finding and collecting each and
every one of the Bioshock Infinite collectibles. We'll need to gather all of
the Voxophones, watch all of the Kinetoscopes, use all of the telescopes and
pick up every Infusion Upgrade to get them all.
These are the achievements/trophies we are looking at right here:
==============================
Infused with Greatness
==============================
Description: Collected every Infusion upgrade in a single game.
How to: To earn this achievement/trophy, you need to find and collect all 25
of the Infusion Upgrades that are present during the course of the
campaign. You can find a locations guide to help you out in your search
after the shortcut:
> Voxophone Locations ................. [VXCTL]
Note that unlike the other collectibles, YOU MUST collect all 25
Infusion Upgrades in a single playthrough in order to earn the
achievement/trophy.
==============================
Eavesdropper
==============================
Description: Collected every Voxophone.
How to: To earn this achievement/trophy, you need to find and collect all 80
Voxophones hidden throughout the game. You can find a locations guide
to help you out in your search after the shortcut:
> Voxophone Locations ................. [VXCTL]
It should be noted that you do not need to collect all 80 of these in a
single playthrough to unlock this achievement/trophy as you are able to
load checkpoints from the main menu and gather any that you have
missed. Just make sure you reach a save point after picking them up
though!
==============================
Sightseer
==============================
Description: Used all telescopes and Kinetoscopes in the game.
How to: To earn this achievement/trophy, you need to find and use all 26
Kinetoscopes and 11 telescopes that are found throughout Columbia. You
can find a locations guide to help you out in your search after the
shortcut:
> Kinetoscope & Telescope Locations .. [KSCTL]
It should be noted that you do not need to use all of these in a
single playthrough to unlock this achievement/trophy as you are able to
load checkpoints from the main menu and gather any that you have
missed. Just make sure you reach a save point after interacting with
them though!
==============================
Dress for Success
==============================
Description: Equipped a piece of Gear in all four slots.
How to: To earn this achievement you must find enough pieces of equippable gear
so that you can place one in each of Booker's 4 sockets: Hat, Shirt,
Pants and Boots. Unfortunately Gear pickups are randomised, so it may
take more than 4 pickups to obtain the required gear. Once you do have
one of each type, simply equip them from the menu or upon pickup to
unlock the achievement/trophy.
You can find a locations guide to help you out in your search after the
shortcut:
> Equippable Gear Locations .......... [GRCTL]
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Miscellaneous Achievements/Trophies [ACMT8]
===============================================================================
These achievements/trophies are a little bit random as I was unable to pool
them together into another category. Mostly they revolve around using
Elizabeth's abilities, but others require spending money, looting objects and
going on a drunken rampage.
Without further ado, here are the miscellaneous achievements/trophies offered
in Bioshock infinite and a bit of information on how you can unlock each of
them:
==============================
Tear 'em a New One
==============================
Description: Opened 30 Tears.
How to: Once you reach the Courtyard inside the Hall of Heroes, Elizabeth will
develop the ability to use tears to bring objects into the world to
assist you during combat. Simply have Elizabeth open 30 different tears
to unlock this achievement/trophy.
==============================
The Roguish Type
==============================
Description: Used Elizabeth to pick 30 locks.
How to: Over the course of the game, you will find locked gates that you can
ask Elizabeth to unlock. In addition to the story-related doors, you
can also find doors to secret areas that require you to use lock picks
to unlock. There are quite a few more than 30 locks to pick in the game
so as long as you follow the guide and open every door you find, you
will earn this in no time!
==============================
Grand Largesse
==============================
Description: Spent $10,000 at the vending machines of Columbia.
How to: You need to spend $10,000 at any of the three types of vending machines
- Dollar Bill, Veni! Vidi! Vigor! and Minuteman's Armory. If you are
purchasing upgrades to weapons or vigors, this should come around 2/3
of the way through the game.
Alternatively, you can load a chapter with a vending machine near the
start (e.g. Worker Induction Centre), run over to it and spend all of
your money and then reload the previous checkpoint and repeat the
process until the achievement/trophy unlocks.
==============================
Lost Weekend
==============================
Description: Killed 5 enemies while you are drunk.
How to: First you need to find a bar, or some other place with a bit of
alcohol. Drink 3-4 bottles and then kill 5 enemies whilst Booker is
intoxicated. The best place I have found to do this is in Shantytown's
Graveyard Shift Bar. Go inside, drink until the screen goes blurry and
then kill all the inhabitants before the effect wears off. There are
more than 5 people in here so you should be able to get all of your
kills at the one time.
Note that this does not have to be done in one go, rather you can kill
a couple and then find more beer and do a couple more. Once you have
killed 5 people whilst drunk, you will earn the achievement/trophy.
==============================
Coins in the Cushion
==============================
Description: Looted 200 containers.
How to: There are many objects that can be looted in Bioshock Infinite and as
long as you keep scrounging around for ammo, money and other goodies,
you should loot 200 containers well before the end of the game.
===============================================================================

| Easter Egg Locations |
|______________________|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
There a number of Easter eggs, in-jokes and other amusing bits and pieces
hidden throughout Bioshock Infinite. This section will contain some minor
spoilers, so you should definitely steer clear of it until after you have
completed the game. Once the game is done, you can load the relevant chapter
from the chapter menu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: This list is by no means exhaustive, these are just the Easter Eggs/Odd
things that I noticed as I played through the game. If you know of any
other Easter Eggs, or interesting/amusing bits and pieces, please let me
know!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a list of the campaign Easter Eggs listed by chapter and in order of
appearance:
==============================
Welcome Centre
==============================
Original Bioshock Reference
___________________________
After getting out of the pod and entering Columbia, walk up to the preacher
giving a sermon. As you approach him he will say "Is there someone new?"
This was also the first set of words uttered by a Splicer in the first
Bioshock game.
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
As you enter the city, you will find a small floating barge with a quartet
singing on it. They are singing 'God Only Knows' by The Beach Boys. 1912 is
a little early for beach Boys music isn't it? As such, on the sign behind
the group you can read a note saying 'The music of tomorrow...Today!' I
guess that justifies it!
Hidden Lutece Twins
___________________________
After receiving the telegram, turn left and find the telescope here.
Note you will need to interact with it for it to count as a collectible.
Whilst viewing the city through the telescope, look at the platform just
below you to see the Lutece twins. They do not appear before or after you
use the teescope, only whilst you are actively looking through it.
==============================
Monument Tower
==============================
Star Wars Reference
___________________________
As you work your way through the observation windows in Monument Tower and
behind the windows you will see Elizabeth open a tear to Paris. In the
foreground is a cinema with a movie title in French that translates to
'Revenge of the Jedi'. This was the original name for the third released
Star Wars movie (or 6th in chronological order of the series) before it was
changed prior to release to 'Return of the Jedi'. Perhaps in this alternate
world, the change was never made!
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
When Elizabeth opens the tear to Paris, listen to the background music. You
will hear another modern song 'Everyone Wants to Rule the World' by Tears
for Fears. The funny thing? It is playing whilst you look at the Star Wars
reference and it wasn't released until 2 years AFTER Star Wars: Return of
the Jedi!
==============================
Battleship Bay
==============================
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
After waking up on the beach and interrupting Elizabeth's dancing. Hang out
on the beach for a minute or two. After a little while you will hear an
instrumental only version of 'Girls just Wanna Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper
playing over the speakers.
Bioshock Infinite in-joke
___________________________
Once you reach the Arcade, Elizabeth will speak up about the new Dimwit and
Duke show, saying it "It is supposed to be the best in the series, but was
delayed three times". Bioshock Infinite is also the best in the series (in
my opinion) and it too was delayed three times. Could this be a
coincidence? or an Easter egg referring to the game itself?
==============================
Return to Hall of Heroes Plaza
==============================
Original Bioshock Reference
___________________________
After you reach the First Lady's Zeppelin, look on the counter near the
controls. Here you will find a wrench that looks remarkably similar to the
melee weapon from the original Bioshock. Elizabeth will nail you with it
too during the scene.
Note that is may not be an Easter egg as I have now found the wrench in
other locations as well. Even so, it does bear a striking resemblance to
the Bioshock wrench.
==============================
The Plaza of Zeal
==============================
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
From the entrance to the area, head to the building in the back left corner
of the zone (its the one with the Veni! Vidi! Vigor' vending machine in it.
In the building you will find a red tear. Approach this and it you will
hear the song 'Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater Revival through it.
==============================
Shantytown
==============================
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
When you arrive in Shantytown, the grammophone in the main bar area is
playing an alternate version of 'Tainted love' by Gloria Jones.
Elizabeth Sings
___________________________
When you arrive in Shantytown, head over to the Graveyard Shift Bar. In the
basement at the foot of the stairs you will find a guitar that Booker can
interact with. Do so and he will pick it up and play it whilst Elizabeth
will twirl around the room and sing for you.
==============================
Bull Yard
==============================
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
After leaving the police impound, you need to head back to Shantytown
proper. On the way, stop at the stockade and listen to the woman sitting
here. She will be singing the song 'Fortunate Son' by Creedence Clearwater
Revival.
==============================
Memorial Gardens
==============================
Future Music in 1912
___________________________
After defeating the siren for the first time, exit the cemetary. When we
are back on the street, turn right and follow the crumbling ledge here.
Once you are back on the street on the opposite side, turn around to see an
open door to a building floating behind us. Jump over to this. Approach
the red tear to hear another bout of contemporary music. this time it's
'Girls just Wanna Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper again!
==============================
The Operating Theatre
==============================
Humerous Coded Message
___________________________
When you run into the old version of Elizabeth, she will give you a note.
There is what appears to be scribble on the front with a picture of three
cages. Well, taking a screenshot of the note, somebody has managed to
decipher what the scribbles mean. The note reads:
"I am a code. I should probably be changed over for something much more
official in the future but I'll do as a stand it for now I suppose."
For a picture of the note and how it was deciphered, check out this link:
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/46/codeqc.jpg)
==============================
The Sea of Doors
==============================
Big Daddy and Little Sister
___________________________
After you arrive in rapture and the story based obstruction goes out of
view of the window, look out of the window. In the glass bridge a short
distance away you will be able to make out a Big Daddy and a Little Sister
from the first pair of Bioshock games.

Donations
===============================================================================
After a few generous emails and suggestions from readers and because donations
seems to be a growing trend among other contemporary guide writers, I have
decided to put in the option to allow you to donate some money to me for
helping you out if you wish to do so.
Although I make these guides for free in my spare time, I probably don’t
need to point out to gamers that purchasing games is an extremely expensive
hobby (games in Australia cost on average $90 - $120) and writing guides for
them can be a very long, incredibly difficult and thankless task at the best
of times, but one that is very challenging and occasionally rewarding.
Considering you could be paying upwards of $20+ for guides in a game shop,these
free and easily available guides make a cost-effective substitute. Whilst most
are happy to use and move on without a word I would move that a simple donation
is a great, easy way to say thanks if you feel that my guide has saved you some
time, money and frustration in some small way.
By no means feel obligated to donate just for viewing my guide, but if you are
feeling a little generous I certainly won’t object! Any amount is appreciated
whether it be 10 cents or $10.
Thankyou far all that read this far, if you are interested in donating, my
Paypal address is listed below, if not, don't forget to hit that recommend
button at the top of the page to help me out!
