BioShock: The Collection Guide › Bioshock › Walkthrough › Welcome to Rapture

Kashmir Restaurant

Times have certainly changed since the Kashmir Restaurant was last used for its main purpose. In fact, it seems as if whatever happened to disturb the serenity of life in Rapture did so right in the middle of the 1959 New Year’s Eve party. The party favors are still on the tables, the costume masks are scattered here and there, and it seems as if one of the revelers is still nearby. Head down the stairs on the right, towards the dancing area, and take out the Thuggish Splicer calling for his wife near the kitchen door. His wife, a Leadhead Splicer, emerges from behind the door and begins shooting in your direction at the sound of her husband’s final breath—be ready!

Take a moment to search the kitchen for money and a First Aid Kit before exiting back to the dancehall area. A pair of Splicers has moved out onto the watery dance floor. Stand back, away from the water, and use Electro Bolt on the water to fry them both. Don’t rush forward with the Wrench to finish them off though; the water amplifies the current and does the job for you. Wait for the electricity to dissipate and search the dance floor area for valuable items. Make sure to pick up the Audio Diary on the cocktail table to get an earful of the horrible events that took place during that last New Year’s Eve celebration.

A Drink and a Smoke

There are dozens of types of consumable items such as Pep Bars, Cigarettes, and bottles of Arcadia Merlot scattered throughout Rapture. These items are instantly consumed upon being picked up and are good for the body—at least in moderation—and serve to give you a small boost in health and/or EVE. However, tobacco and alcoholic consumable items also have an adverse impact as well, effectively lowering your health and/or EVE levels. Worse yet, drinking two or more alcoholic beverages in quick succession cause Jack’s vision to become blurry and make it difficult to walk straight.

Audio Diaries

Many of the residents of Rapture believed in keeping diaries, but instead of relying on the traditional pen and paper version—how passé—they instead utilized the latest in technological advances, the voice recorder! There are dozens of Audio Diaries scattered throughout the city for you to collect. You don’t need to find them all (unless you want to earn the “Historian” Achievement), but these audio diaries do reveal a good amount of background information on Rapture’s main players and help you understand more of the story. We have marked each and every Audio Diary on the accompanying maps in this guidebook and also have a complete listing of all of their locations in the Achievement Guide.

Return up the stairs to the main hall of the Kashmir Restaurant and give the area a thorough looking over for items and money. Another Audio Diary can be found in the “Dames” restroom. Kill the Thuggish Splicers that appear and head through the hole in the wall of the men’s bathroom to the theatre balcony.
