Rapture Museum is nothing more than a tribute to Andrew Ryan’s vision and what it took to build the city that you now struggle to escape. Collect the Sports Boost tonic and stroll the upper walkway in a clockwise direction. Soak in the information provided by the audio tour and static displays. Gather up the money and First Aid Kit from the downstairs area in the center (making sure to hack the Health Station), then pay a visit to the vending machines to load up on ammo.
Ignore the signs leading you north to El Dorado for the moment, and instead, head east into the Gift Shop. Drop the four Splicers from the entrance, then have a look around. Head down the stairs to the restrooms and use Electro Bolt to break into the women’s room. Search the bathrooms for items before proceeding back up.
Grab the Audio Diary in the rear of the Gift Shop and approach the safe. Safes have the best ammo and largest sums of money in them of all the containers you’ll slip your pilfering little fingers into, but this doesn’t come easy. Safes are the most difficult items to hack in all of Rapture. The needle moves faster, and has smaller blue and green zones with larger red zones. Press the Reload button at any time while hacking to perform a “buyout” (usually $40 for a safe) and open the safe without hacking.
The safe is in the south end of the Gift Shop. Clear the room of Splicers, then settle in to hack it up close without using the Hack Tool. Multiple Splicers attack after the hack is complete, so put those Anti-Personnel Rounds to use right away! The additional Splicers don’t appear if you ignore the safe.
Exit the Gift Shop, top off your supply of First Aid Kits and EVE Hypos, and head north. Eleanor has left you another gift—the Drill Power tonic—which definitely helps in the battle to come. Continue ahead to the El Dorado.
Safe
