BioShock: The Collection Guide › Bioshock 2 › Walkthrough › Dionysus Park

Imago Fine Arts

Equip the Speargun and inch your way towards the galleries in the southwest corner of Dionysus Park. Snipe the three Leadhead Splicers in the distance, just beyond the Gene Bank, and use Incinerate! to melt the ice blocking the door to Imago Fine Arts.

The Imago Gallery has the most complex security array in the whole of Rapture. This makes it a great place to perform research of security—especially after snagging the Extended Reel tonic—but also a very hazardous place to explore carelessly. Use the Remote Hack Darts found outside the gallery and carefully inch your way forward while hacking the Security Cameras flanking the entrance along with the Turret straight ahead. Strafe left and right inside the doorway to get an angle on all four Security Cameras, then carefully make your way around the room in a counter-clockwise direction to spot the other two Turrets.

Cameras Only Have Eyes for One

It’s recommended that you hack all four Security Cameras upon arriving in this area, but you should do this knowing that only one security alarm can sound at a time. If a Splicer is detected by one of your friendly Security Cameras, you can safely walk on past a Security Camera that you didn’t hack, so long as the alarm is still counting down for the enemy Splicer. That said, failing a hack during this time triggers an entirely separate alarm, making Security Bots arrive to attack.

Use Incinerate! to melt the patches of ice throughout the Imago Fine Arts room and gather up the Frag Grenades and EVE Hypos hidden underneath. Make your way through the frosty back rooms to find a very valuable safe and the Hardy Machines tonic. You’ll be in for quite a battle on the way back through the gallery, so have your Research Camera on hand and watch the Research Points roll in as your hacked security detail works its magic!

Safe

Contents: 6 Auto-Hack Darts, 2 Mini-Turrets, 3 Proximity Mines.

If you were wondering what could possibly be worth so much security, this is it! This safe is located in the very back corner of Imago Fine Arts. This is an incredibly difficult safe to hack, but well worth the trouble. Hack the Security Cameras and Turrets on the way in to make sure no Splicers can interrupt your hack attempt. This is one you really ought to consider buying out.

Security on Parade

If you’re having trouble earning Research Points for the Security category, give this a try. Hack a couple of Security Bots in the main room and guide them back to the safe. Purposely fail the hack to trigger the alarm and start the Research Camera as the enemy Security Bots make their way to the back of the room. Electrocute them to give your ally Security Bots more of a chance to defend you, then film the next batch that arrive. Continue to film the Security Bots that arrive to attack and enjoy a wealth of Research Points. Be sure to join the fray and mix in some Shotgun blasts with your Electro Bolt bursts to increase your Research Points. Keep it up until you earn the Deadly Machines tonic.
