The Pink Pearl

Exit the Maintenance Area and approach the Pink Pearl in the northeast corner of Little Eden Plaza. A Brute Splicer can be seen yanking the metal accordion gate open—now you have a way in. Start filming the Brute Splicer, then open fire on him. Use the Drill Dash and Anti-Personnel Rounds to drop him before going inside.

Big Daddy: Rumbler

Spend any amount of time in Little Eden Plaza, and you’re bound to encounter a second Big Daddy; if not before you head to the Maintenance Area, then definitely on your way back through to the Pink Pearl. There aren’t any Security Cameras or Turrets to lead the Big Daddy towards, but you can still gain an advantage. Lay Trap Rivets throughout the area in front of the Big Daddy and use Hypnotize (or Hypnotize 2) on any nearby Splicers, then switch to your newly acquired Security Command.

Deploy a Mini-Turret or two of your own and open fire with Armor-Piercing Rounds while continuing to throw Security Command at the Rumbler. The Mini-Turrets—both yours and his—inflict significant damage and thoroughly distract him, making it possible for you to stand back and take pot shots at him without much threat. Hope is not lost if you don’t have any Mini-Turrets or run out of EVE and can’t use Security Command. Quickly move to the balcony and lay as many Trap Rivets as you can behind you. The Big Daddy eventually gives chase and runs into your Trap Rivets. Use the walkways and corners to dodge the Heat-Seeking Rockets, and manipulate the angles in this area to your advantage.

Little Sister Encounter

Gather #1: Second Floor of the Pink Pearl

Go up the stairs inside the Pink Pearl and perform a thorough sweep of the place before setting the Little Sister down. Most importantly, be sure to hack the Turret down the hall from the Gather corpse. Set up some Trap Rivets at the top of the stairs leading up from the first floor and at the base of the stairs going up to the third. Set the Little Sister down and stick close to her in the hallway near the Turret to lead any Splicers directly into harm’s way. The Gather begins like the others, but then a Brute Splicer attacks just as the Little Sister is finishing up. The Turret attracts it away from the Little Sister—move in behind it and mow it down with Anti-Personnel Rounds. A Spider Splicer attacks after the Brute Splicer is killed, so keep an eye on the ceiling and be ready with the Shotgun!

Gather #2: Under the balconies in plaza hedone

The Gather corpse is directly across from the El Ammo Bandito machine in Plaza Hedone. Deploy a number of Trap Rivets around the corpse to protect the Little Sister from any Splicers that slip past, then set some more on the stairs leading down from the overhead walkway. Deploy a Mini-Turret in the middle of the street between the Gather corpse and the Sister Vent. Use your Hypnotize 2 Plasmid to befriend the first Leadhead Splicer you encounter away from the Mini-Turret and monitor its status. Befriend another Splicer as soon as that one perishes. Your Trap Rivets and Mini-Turret should eliminate many of the Splicers that attack, but there are sure to be a couple of Spider Splicers and Leadhead Splicers who stay on the balcony and attack you from afar. Charge up Electro Bolt 2, and let the lightning spread!

Enter the Pink Pearl and pick up the Speargun from where it rests against the wall. Enter the downstairs lobby of the Pink Pearl and use the Speargun to snipe the Splicers on the second floor balcony. Hack the Health Station around the corner and head up the stairs to the second floor.

There are several Splicers on the second floor, but one of the attackers you’ll encounter is actually Father Wales’ estranged brother, Daniel. Daniel runs the Pink Pearl brothel, and flees to the third floor at the first sight of you. Let him go. Take your time scouring the second floor before heading up the stairs to the next floor.

Have the Research Camera ready and use it against the three Spider Splicers you encounter on the third floor. You will probably startle one of them while he’s on the floor, but the other two typically leap from vents in the ceiling. Use the El Ammo Bandito in the northwest corner to load up on ammo, then head around the back hallway and hit the Splicer with Security Command. Hack the Security Bots that appear, then hack the Security Camera too, just for safe measure.

Safe

Contents: 12 Heavy Rivets, 4 Phosphorous Buck, 75 Dollars.

Ascend to the third floor of the Pink Pearl and move around to the east side where the Peep Show booths are. Place 10 dollars into one of the coin slots to open the metal shutter over the window. Use Electro Bolt to zap the short-circuiting door control inside the bedroom, then travel around to the hallway and enter the room to access the safe on the wall.

Enter the apartment on the south side of the third floor, defeat the Spider Splicer near the bed, and gather up the First Aid Kits and EVE Hypos. This is Daniel Wales’ private quarters, and he has an office next to his bedroom. Use Telekinesis to move the Trap Spears out of the way, then collect the Audio Diary and raid the safe. Drop through the hole in the floor near the bed to continue your pursuit of him back on the second floor.

Safe

Contents: 100 Dollars, 2 EVE Hypos, 12 Trap Rivets.

This safe is an easy one to locate in Daniel Wales’ personal office off his bedroom. Just avoid the hole in the floor in his bedroom and enter the office to find it. There isn’t any security and Splicers do not arrive and attack when you’re done hacking into it. But beware, the needle can only oscillate three times before resulting in a failed hack.

Have the Hack Tool ready and round the corner in the darkened room (towards the hallway leading east), and quickly hack the two Turrets at the far end—just in time for them to take out the Spider Splicer nearby. Pick up the Hacker’s Delight 2 tonic in the hall and grab the fuel drum in the corner with your Telekinesis. It’s time to take down Daniel Wales.

Exit the room with the Turrets and round the corner to the left to find Daniel Wales near the place where the Gather corpse was. Fling the fuel drum up at him and ready your Hypnotize Plasmid, as a few other Splicers soon appear. Enlist their help and unload on Daniel with your Machine Gun or Speargun. You should have at least one Security Bot left from the third floor, which should help you considerably. Watch your health, continue firing, and try to lure him in front of the Turret you relied on earlier to distract the Brute Splicer. Search Daniel’s corpse and retrieve the Audio Diary on his person. This recording contains the code to the door in the Maintenance Area. Return to the locked door and enter the keycode “1919.”

Defeat Simon’s Followers You have interrupted Father Simon Wales in the middle of a passionate sermon. He has rallied his followers to rise up and oppose you. You need to defeat them to gain access to Pumping Station #5 and drain Dionysus Park.
