BioShock 2: Inner Persephone (1) - walkthrough bioshock2 Guide

Last update: 23 May 2022

Inner Persephone is the final location of BioShock 2. On this page, you will find a full map of this location and the first part of Inner Persephone walkthrough. You will be accompanied by Eleanor. However, you will participate in numerous fights and encounter many traps. You must pursue Sinclair - there are a few different paths leading to the goal.

LEVEL DETAILS:

Audio Diaries: 17

Power to the People stations: 2

New Plasmids: [Telekinesis 3]

New Tonics: [Elemental Sponge], [Elemental Vampire]

01 - Follow Eleanor upstairs.

02 - Approach the window and watch the cutscene. Enemies will rush into the room and you should retreat to the upper floor. You will have to take care of a turret and a Brute, among others. Remember about the possibility to call Eleanor.

03 - Use the Hack Tool to hack the door lock behind the bars.

04 - Press the button in the room by the locked door. Sinclair in a slightly changed form will appear and you'll have to pursue him. Go down the stairs.

05 - Hack the camera at the cafeteria and take the Audio Diary from one of the tables. Go down the stairs.

AUDIO DIARY: [The Definition of Despair] - Thomas

06 - Take care of the Brute and afterwards melt the ice to acquire two mines. There will be some trap spears in the dark corridor. Eliminate three minor enemies and go upstairs. Go pass the showers and you'll reach a cell complex.

07 - It looks like Sinclair's locked. Never mind that for now and pick up the Audio Diary (go through the hole in the wall of one of the cells). Look out for the camera.

AUDIO DIARY: [Last Two Digits] - Connor

It looks like you've found the second part of the code as well. It's time to go upstairs.

 

08 - Check out the cells one by one, collecting the Audio Diaries. In block D you will find one from which you'll learn the first two numbers.

AUDIO DIARY: [A Trade] - Dodge

AUDIO DIARY: [First Two Digits] - Mattson

Go through block C into block B. Take a Diary from the hanged man and search the rooms to find the [Elemental Sponge] Tonic. Curiously - here the code has been carved onto the wall.

AUDIO DIARY: [No More Hope Left] - Parson

In Block A you will encounter a Brute and find another Diary.

AUDIO DIARY: [A Generous Offer] - Murphy

You've got the code (2673), so theoretically you can get inside the locked room from the front. However let's check out what the other options are. One of them is to hack the lock to the right, in the distance. Once the door opens, use Incinerate to set fire to the floor right under the box you hacked (by the way, opening the door wasn't needed to set the fire). It turns out that Sinclair has locked himself in a room full of oil, so you'll drive him out of the room quickly.

Another way of getting the code is to go to the toilets (the entrance is opposite to the door with the key lock, you'll have to pay 5$). Once inside, search the tank above the last toilet on the left.

While in the toilet, you can also find a hidden tunnel. Melt the ice in the corner of the room and enter the narrow corridor. The tunnel leads to your friend's hideout. Greet him by throwing a mini turret inside or hacking the nearby Security Bot. Of course you can as well set fire to the oil.

As you can see, there's quite a bit of possibilities. Choose one, kill the poor guy and take the key. Notice the Diary on the desk and a Power to the People station. Afterwards use the control panel in the middle of the room. You will have to fight a couple of enemies (two Alphas). Once you deal with the problem, backtrack following the arrow. On your way you will encounter three more Alphas.

AUDIO DIARY: [Magic Sauce] - Warden Nigel Weir

09 - Go down to the dark room and then even lower. Search the holes to find the [Elemental Vampire] Tonic.

10 - Search the safe and take the Audio Diary. A little closer to the main hall (with the boat) you should get attack by an Alpha.

AUDIO DIARY: [Out With the Old...] - Warden Nigel Weir

It looks like Eleanor will need help of the Little Sisters. Head out on a rescue mission. The order in which you do it doesn't matter really, you just have to travel through the whole map. Let's begin from the western part.
