Pump Station No. 5 — BioShock: The Collection eGuide

Simon “Father” Wales has transformed the Pump Station No. 5 area into a chapel of sorts, and several members of his flock are ready to pounce upon your arrival. Stay upstairs and use the Speargun and Hypnotize 2 to dispatch the Spider Splicers and Leadhead Splicers that attack first.

Equip the Hack Tool, select a Mini-Turret, and choose Electro Bolt for your Plasmid—Simon Wales can attack at any moment, and he has a Security Bot of his own in tow! Quickly deploy the Mini-Turret to distract him, then zap the Security Bot and hack it to bring it to your side. If you already have two Security Bots, either destroy the one belonging to Simon Wales or splash him with Security Command to turn it against him. Simon Wales has roughly 600% of the health of a normal Spider Splicer, but moves and attacks in the same way. Roll film during the fight and take him out with Winter Blast and Anti-Personnel Rounds. Search his corpse for the Pump Control Key, and descend the stairs to the altar.

Defeated the Preacher

Make your way to Pump Station No. 5 on the eastern side of Plaza Hedone in Siren Alley and take out “Father” Simon Wales. He’s taken the form of a Spider Splicer, but has roughly 600% the health of one. He also has a Security Bot under his command that you’ll need to turn against him either by hacking it or by hitting Wales with Security Command. Use Rocket Spears and Anti-Personnel Rounds to bring down Simon Wales. A Mini-Turret can help as well.

Divert the Emergency pumps

With Simon Wales out of the way, you only need his key to access the Pump Control Room at the back of Pumping Station #5. Once inside, you can divert the flow of water from Dionysus Park to Siren Alley. Be careful! You should take care of everything you want to do here, first.
