Learn how to navigate the initial moments of BioShock 2, emerging from a Vita-Chamber in the Adonis Luxury Resort and clearing coral blockades.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You awaken in a ruined Vita-Chamber within the Adonis Luxury Resort. A female voice speaks of a weak radio signal.
  2. 2
    Once in control, rotate your view using the right analog stick to find the glowing Vita-Chamber behind you. Vita-Chambers are respawn points; dying will bring you back to the nearest one with half health.
  3. 3
    Face forward and move using the left analog stick. Tilt the stick to strafe or move backward.
  4. 4
    Approach the wall with pictures and go up the staircase to your right.
  5. 5
    At the top, the path is blocked by coral. Approach it and hold the “R2” button to rev your Drill. Aim with the right analog stick to shatter each chunk of coral. Release “R2” to stop revving.
  6. 6
    Continue forward until you encounter debris. Click the left analog stick to crouch and move under the low-hanging object. Click the left analog stick again to stand up.
  7. 7
    Proceed forward and to the right into a large room with a dried-up pool, identified as the “Adonis Baths.”
  8. 8
    In the Adonis Baths, move along the left side of the room until you find a tape recorder-like object. This is an Audio Diary, containing voice-recorded messages.
  9. 9
    Press the “X” button to pick up the Audio Diary. Hold “X” for about a second to play the most recent one.
  10. 10
    The Audio Diary mentions that a dead generator can be jumpstarted with a direct spark. Look to the right of the Audio Diary's location to find a dead generator. Restoring it will improve the radio connection.
Tips
  • Vita-Chambers are your respawn points. If your health bar (red bar at the top-left) depletes, you will respawn at the nearest one.
  • Crouching (click left stick) allows you to pass under low obstacles.
  • Audio Diaries provide backstory and sometimes crucial gameplay information.
