Bioshock 2 Achievements


Below are the achievements for Bioshock 2, along with the number of achievement points you’ll receive and a summary on how to get each achievement.

Introduction

It is not an easy task to repeat your success and create something as good as the first part of the franchise. Bioshock 2, despite all the rumors and statements from internet trolls, is a decent game with amazing scenario and even more amazing gameplay. If you consider yourself a Bioshock fan, you should definitely play this game and the sooner the better.
From the very beginning Bioshock 2 takes you to the very same underwater world of Rapture where you used to be in the original Bioshock. Ten years has passed like one day for you and minor changes in the world outside happened to be a perfect cover for the big changes inside the hidden community. Everything’s changed, but so had you and this time you will appear on the other side of the barricades, so brace yourself cause you will be playing as a Big Daddy. But not just as any kind of Big Daddy – you will be Delta Series Big Daddy, the first and only Big Daddy of its kind. It’s really a very strange but unexpectedly exciting feeling to get in Big Daddy’s shoes. Moreover, making hard decisions is what you have to expect and do I need to remind you that with the atmospheric surrounding this is another something that makes this game so amazing.

Achievements

There are 68 achievements with a total of 1000 points. They are not hard to get and on the complexity scale I would rate them as 6 out of 10. Though, the only trouble you can come across with is a couple of achievements that can be easily missed. There are 13 of them: All Weapon Upgrades, Research Master, Grand Daddy, All Plasmids, Dealt with Every Little Sister, Big Brass Balls, Rapture Historian, 9-Irony, Unbreakable, Look at You, Hacker, Savior, Counterattack. In order to make things right you will simply have to get yourself prepared and at a certain point do the unplanned. But don’t worry – in the following guide you will find all your answers.

Collectables

Like almost any Xbox 360 game, Bioshock 2 also has a number of collectable sets that you need to find in order to unlock some of the achievements. This might get tough cause you will have to wonder all over the game and look in every corner for things that might or will be useful. Here are some tips that you should keep in mind – they will make things a lot easier.

ADAM

Adam is your everything in the game and the more you have, the better your chances are to survive all the possible attacks and game turnarounds. For those who still do not know a little guidance on what actually ADAM is.
ADAM is the raw form of the unstable stem cells harvested and processed from a type of Sea Slug parasite. It is believed to consist of totipotent stem cells that have the ability to differentiate into any cell type. As revealed in the Audio Diary Hatred, ADAM is a viscous, green liquid in its raw form. ADAM can be genetically manipulated to produce cells that would not normally be present in the human body. It acts like a seemingly benign form of cancer, destroying native cells and replacing them with the unstable stem versions. While it is this instability that gives it its amazing properties, it is also what causes the cosmetic and mental damage to people who use it habitually. In the end, the instability of the stem cells means that the user will have to take in more and more ADAM just to remain sane and healthy, progressively deteriorating as they do so.
Unlike the debut Bioshock game, ADAM in Bioshock plays a bit different role. Well, it still changes your body and possibilities but not you can gather it with the help of Little Sisters. You’re a Big Daddy, remember? On every level you will be able to interact with a few Little Sisters and make or ask them to collect ADAM from dead bodies. But, here’s a trick: after Little Sister’s syringe is filled with ADAM, you can do the following: kill the girl and take all the ADAM she has or let her go and get a bit smaller portion, though show the good side of yours. The way you get ADAM is all about the person you want to be in the game but I would recommend you to stay on the good side.

Research

To get to know your enemies better, in the original Bioshock you were offered to use a photocamera. A well done picture gave you some tips on how to deal with the bad guy and revealed his/her weaknesses. In Bioshock 2 you will have to become an operator and shoot short video footages of your enemies. It takes a bit more time but at the same time brings more information that you can use in your future. The trick is that you will have to film all of your enemies and knowing that the game has a lot of action, taking out your camera instead of a gun in a dangerous situation might not be the best idea. The tip here is to start filming the very moment you see your enemy while he doesn’t see you. Also, try to research them as soon as possible cause with time bad guys are going to get tougher and extra knowledge about them will come in handy. Also, do not forget to upgrade your research tonics. Actually, this is rather a must than a request.

Collectibles: Audio Diaries & Power to the People Stations

A greater part of the story will be told you through the audio diaries. You are not obliged to listen them if you do not want to but there might be some tips as well as stories that will help you in the future or simply cover you tighter with the Bioshock atmosphere. All in all there 128 collectables but you will have to find only 100 to unlock the achievement. There are also upgrade stations located around the various levels of Rapture. Most are hidden from plain sight so be sure to check every room.

Bioshock 2 Achievement List:
There are 68 achievements with a total of 1000 points.

Bought a Slot (5)
Buy one Plasmid or Tonic Slot at a Gatherer's Garden.

If you still wonder what ADAM is – check the guidance above to find out a bit more about this juice of magic. As the game progresses, you will earn ADAM (mostly from Little Sisters) and then, through a Gatherer's Garden, you will be able to buy upgrades and slots for your character. Once you progress and have enough ADAM to buy your first Plasmid or Tonic Slot, this achievement will pop out.

Max Plasmid Slots (10)
Fully upgrade to the maximum number of Plasmid Slots.

If you still wonder what ADAM is – check the guidance above to find out a bit more about this juice of magic. As the game progresses, you will earn ADAM (mostly from Little Sisters) and then, through a Gatherer's Garden, you will be able to buy upgrades and slots for your character. Once you progress and earn more ADAM, you will be able to upgrade your plasmids and buy new slots. Unlocking the last slot is story related and can be missed so sooner or later you will get this achievement anyway.

Upgraded a Weapon (10)
Upgrade any weapon at a Power to the People Station.

Upgrading weapon is one of the crucial moments of the game process. Of course, you can stay away and do not bother but trust me –with enemies getting smarter and harder to kill, you would definitely like to have some extra rounds or +20% to weapons damage. In order to upgrade your weapon, you will have to use "Power to the People" upgrade stations. There are several located around Rapture and they are pretty easy to find. When you are close to the station, press the “A” button to interact and select the weapon upgrade you want. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to upgrade all your arsenal, so choose wisely.

Fully Upgraded a Weapon (10)
Install the third and final upgrade to any of your weapons.

Every weapon in the game has three upgrade levels. Lower level upgrades must be applied before you add the final upgrade. Also, you can only apply one upgrade to a weapon at each station. Your task is to upgrade one of the weapons to your liking with the final (third) upgrade. You can find out more about the list of weapons and upgrade stations’ locations by reading the “All Weapons Upgrades” achievement below.

All Weapon Upgrades (20)
Find all 14 Power to the People weapon upgrades in the game.

All in all there are 14 upgrade stations in the game and you need to find them all. Finding 14 "Power to the People" upgrade stations doesn’t mean that your whole arsenal will get updated as far as the number of upgrades slightly exceeds the number of upgrade stations, so make sure you concentrate on those guns you value the most. You can only apply one upgrade to a weapon at each station. And make sure you check every corner cause those station are pretty easy to miss. Also, here’s the list of missions and a number of Power to the People Stations you can find at every level.
Power to the People Stations
0 - Adonis Luxury Resort
0 - Atlantic Express Depot
2 - Ryan Amusements
3 - Pauper's Drop
2 - Siren Alley
2 - Dionysus Park
2 - Fontaine Futuristics
1 - Persephone
2 - Inner Persephone

Prolific Hacker (20)

This should come to your naturally. All in all there are 8 machines that can be hacked in the game and you are supposed to hack each and every at least once.
1. Circus of Value
2. Door Locks
3. El Ammo Bandito
4. First Aid stations
5. Safes
6. Security Bots
7. Security Cameras
8. Security Turrets
For more information you should check the “Master Hacker” achievement.

Master Hacker (20)
Hack 30 machines at a distance with the Hack Tool.

Hack Tool is probably one of the best things in your inventory. It helps you to hack doors or machines from the distance and if you want to pass without being detected, this is the right thing to use. The hacking process itself is pretty easy: once you start hacking, a meter will pop up on the screen with a needle which moves back and forth. Your task is to stop the “naughty” needle on a green or blue area. Blue are really hard to catch but together with a successful hack you will get a reward. Green areas are slightly bigger than the blue ones and they simply open the door or hack the machine. The bigger part of the meter is covered with blank spaces and if you accidently stop on them, you will be treated with a static charge. All in all there are 8 machines that can be hacked in the game:
1. Circus of Value
2. Door Locks
3. El Ammo Bandito
4. First Aid stations
5. Safes
6. Security Bots
7. Security Cameras
8. Security Turrets
The achievement itself will probably come to you naturally. Just make sure that you hack enough machines while the game progresses. By the way, there are also shots that will automatically hack anything you shoot at. They are pretty pricy but get things done in no time.

First Research (5)
Research a Splicer with the Research Camera.

A lot like in the first Bioshock, you will have to memorize all the best moments spent with your enemies but instead of a photo- you will have a video camera. The good news is that once equipped, you can start filming and fighting the enemy at the same time. This is actually very handy! Now, in order to unlock this achievement, you will have to research a Splicer with the Research Camera. It can be done easily almost at the very same moment you obtain your cam. But while fighting enemies and getting them on tape, you will have to use different fighting styles combining your real weapon and plasmids. For example, use Electro Bolt on a Slicer and then hit it with your drill. This will give you an A+ and a full set of points. Of course, you can use the very same methods for killing other enemies but in this case your research points will be low even with an A+ combo. For more information you should check the “Research Master” achievement.

One Research Track (20)
Max out one Research Track.

It is in your interest to take as much advantage of the video camera as possible. With this thing you will be able to research your enemies that will open a great opportunity to kill them easier and faster in the future. There are four research levels for each enemy but to come up with a better score, try to use weapons and Plasmids together, think of different and unexpected methods of killing your enemies. This will definitely make your research score look better. Study everything that looks hostile to you and rather sooner than later you are going to get this achievement. Your task is to complete at least one Research Track. For more information on Research Tracks you should check out the achievement below (Research Master).

Research Master (20)
Max out research on all 9 research subjects.

It is in your interest to take as much advantage of the video camera as possible. With this thing you will be able to research your enemies that will open a great opportunity to kill them easier and faster in the future. There are four research levels for each enemy but to come up with a better score, try to use weapons and Plasmids together, think of different and unexpected methods of killing your enemies. This will definitely make your score look better.
Big Daddy/Sister
- Big Daddy - Alpha Series
- Big Daddies - Bouncer - Rosie - Rumbler
- Big Sister
Splicer
- Brute Splicer
- Houdini Splicer
- Leadhead Splicer
- Spider Splicers
- Thuggish Splicer. Note: as far as Thuggish Splicers do not appear in the later levels of the game, you need to start using your camera right away. Otherwise, you can miss this achievement and this guide is on how to get and not miss them.
Security
- Security Bots - Security Cameras - Turrets
For more information about locations and tactical tips you will find on Researcher's Handbook.

You can also keep track of your recent achievements by pressing the “Back” button and viewing the research. This will help you to see what things are still have to be detected and what are not.

Grand Daddy (25)
Defeat 3 Big Daddies without dying during the fight.

While the game progresses, you will have to deal with Big Daddies all the time. Usually, they will also walk around with Little Sisters and defeating them will give you a possibility to use those girls for collecting ADAM. But that is not your concern so far. Your task is to kill 3 Big Daddies without dying during the fight. If you play on Easy level, this shouldn’t be a problem. Once you’ve taken down one Big Daddy, save your game and find another one to deal with. Always check your health and EVE levels. Those things will keep you alive. There is a plenty of ways you can kill Big Daddy but the nicest one is to get him into water or on a wet spot and use Electro Bolt. This actually hits them pretty hard. But even despite the fact that this is an underwater city, you won’t find water everywhere on the ground. In this case a combination of Winter Blast and Drill will complete the job successfully (continuously freeze him while you attack). But, the strategy is all up to you – those are just tips for your interest. When you’re done killing the third Big Daddy, you will get your 25G achievement points.

Master Gatherer (30)
Gather 600 ADAM with Little Sisters.

This should come to your naturally through the game process because ADAM is the main reason why people became so creepy and so dangerous. But if you are concerned about when and how you are going to get 600 ADAM, here’s a little Math for your interest that will come in handy.
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to gather ADAM all by yourself and for that matter you will need a Little Sister. Also, a number of Little Sister’s is pretty limited which means that you won’t be able to make girls work 24/7 and get as much ADAM as you want. And the last but not the least – only glowing bodies are good for collecting ADAM. They are sort of game related and every time your Little Sister starts collecting the genetic juice, enemies from all holes start crawling to get some.
Anyway, a Little Sister can gather 40 ADAM from each body or 60 ADAM using the "Proud Parent" tonic.

Basic Gathering
As far as you won’t be able to get the "Proud Parent" Tonic from the very beginning, your ADAM income will probably look like this:

Every Little Sister has to collect ADAM from two bodies. Only then she will be able to share 80 ADAM with you. So, in order to get the sum required, you will have to find 16 bodies. 2 bodies = 80 ADAM (1 sister).
8 sisters x 16 bodies (40 ADAM each) = 640 ADAM.

Gathering with Proud Parent Tonic
Of course, things will flow a lot faster with the “Proud Parent” Tonic but you won’t be able to use it right away. In order to get this useful drink, you will have to save four Little

Sisters (considering the possibility of killing Little Girls, you won’t be able to get the “Proud Parent” tonic if you plan to kill every Little Sister). With the “Proud Parent” tonic girls will collect 60 ADAM from every body instead of 40. So, 1 sister will bring 120 ADAM from 2 bodies which means:
5 sisters X 10 bodies (60 ADAM each) = 600 ADAM.
Depending on if you use the tonic or not, you should earn Master Gatherer achievement either before or around Dionysus Park.
If you are not sure where the bodies full of ADAM are, you can hold down the “X” button and in a second or two you will see a magic trail that will lead you to the bodies with the precious genetic juice.
There is one thing you need to keep in mind before you start gathering ADAM: Saving/Harvesting a Little Sister does not count as a gather! You need to gather ADAM with each sister twice and only then you will be able to enjoy the precious bonus. Otherwise, there is a great possibility that you won’t be able to unlock this achievement.

Fully Upgraded a Plasmid (10)
Fully upgrade one of your Plasmids to the level 3 version at a Gatherer's Garden.

Each Plasmid in the game has three levels. Usually, with the higher Plasmid level your tricks last longer or bring more damage which is nice. You can buy plasmids and upgrades from a Gatherer's Garden. Some of them can be simply found. In order to unlock the achievement, pick one that you like the most and upgrade it to level 3.

Trap Master (15)
Kill 30 enemies using only Traps.

It may sound like a long lasting challenge but as long as you progress through the game, it will obviously come to you naturally. You can set traps in two different ways:
1. Get a Trap Rivets for your gun, Press “Down” on the D-pad with the Rivet Gun selected and equip this type of ammo. The best timing for setting traps is right before you plan to collect ADAM. Place a couple of traps before every entrance and on those routes where you think enemies will go. If you are not that kind of person who bothers with setting traps, you can equip Trap Rivets and shoot with them at your enemies. This will work too.
2. You can use plasmids to set traps as well. Mix Cyclone with Incinerate/Electro Bolt and it will work as a trap too. Also, some later levels of plasmids can set traps easily.
Kill 30 enemies using traps and get the achievement mentioned.

Master Protector (15)
Get through a Gather with no damage and no one getting to the Little Sister.

If you still do not know, Gather is a process when a Little Sister gathers ADAM from dead bodiesyou’re your task is to protect her from any possible damage. In order to get this achievement you will have to find a perfect spot. Usually bodies are located at open spaces and there are at least two directions from where bad guys keep and keep coming. You task it to secure the area as strong as possible and make sure that not a single enemy gets close to you or your Little Sister. Probably, the biggest danger can be expected from enemies with guns cause they can reach you from the distance. Make sure you take down them first. But, your future battle for ADAM starts long before the action and to finish it successfully you will have to do a little preparation. First of all, secure all the exits with traps and Rivet Traps ammo. Also, if you have turrets, use them for protection as well. Now, start harvesting ADAM and hide somewhere where your enemies won’t be able to catch you but at the same time try to find the place with a nice field of view on the room. One of those great places will be on your way through Ryan Amusements. For more information check out the video below.

Big Spender (15)
Spend 2000 dollars at Vending Machines

“Money can’t buy you love” but they definitely can buy you ammo, health packs and other great stuff. Loot everything and anything on your way and dollar by dollar you should get the required sum. You do not actually have to have 2000 dollars on your account – you have to spend this money at Vending Machines. They can be found almost anywhere. Get to them, buy what you need and go fighting enemies and loot more money. Repeat the procedure until you spend 2000 on goods and this achievement will be yours.

Dealt with Every Little Sister (50)
Either Harvest or Save every Little Sister in the game.

This game offers you two different routes that you can stick to and become either a good Big Daddy and save all the Little Sisters or be a bad Big Daddy and harvest Little Sisters for the precious ADAM. The choice is yours but once you’re done making decision, stick to the plan because if you do something wrong at least once – you won’t get the achievement and you will be forced to replay the game. Saving Little Sisters is an honorable and rewarding way to finish the game. You will look like a knight in the eyes of others. On the other hand, Harvesting girls gives you more ADAM and you can get more things and become stronger a bit faster.
At a certain point you will realize that the game itself encourages you to be on the good side and here’s a good explanation “why”: if you decide to Harvest Little Sisters, you will miss out on the “Savior” and “Master Gatherer” achievements. It is not crucial because you can always replay the game but it definitely seems to be unfair.
By the way, along with the already mentioned options “Harvest” and “Save” there is also a third one known as “Adopt.” Adopting Little Sisters will allow you to harvest bodies for ADAM which will go towards “Master Gatherer” achievement. Now, once you’re finished gathering ADAM, take her to the vent and save poor girl. And remember – you are supposed to gather TWO bodies with one Little Sister and after that save or harvest her. Otherwise, you won’t be given any ADAM and this game doesn’t offer coming back opportunities.

Against All Odds (30)
Finish the game on the hardest difficulty level.

Getting this achievement mostly depends on your skills and experience in playing FPS (First Person Shooters). The game itself is pretty complicated and playing it on the Hardest Difficulty might turn into a real challenge. But, if you follow some basic rules and come up with a nice strategy, getting things done won’t be a problem at all.
- Take Cover. This is the easiest way to avoid any injuries but still – do not sit behind the cover too long – enemies are smarter on Harder levels and will try to flank you.
- Make sure you have enough medical supplies to keep you alive and healthy for as long as possible. Do not be shy to get as much First Aids as possible but at the same time – use them wisely.
- Don’t act like a hero. Ye, this kind of strategy might be useful when playing on Normal or Easy, but on the Hardest difficulty you usually end up dead when trying to do brave and stupid things. If you see that there are too many enemies and you can’t deal with them all – run away, hide, recharge, set up a trap and do whatever you like but survive.
- Use Vita Chambers (this won’t be possible if you plan to get “Big Brass Balls” achievement).
- Always keep your guns loaded and plasmids prepared. Do not rush into the room not knowing what to do. Pay very serious attention to Gathers (the process of gathering ADAM). Usually, those are massacres.

Big Brass Balls (25)
Finish the game without using Vita-Chambers.

Vita-Chambers are your life saviors. When you die during the mission, you will simply appear in the closest Vita-Chamber and will be able to continue fighting with the enemy not from the very beginning but from the last point which means the following: if you enemy killed you with only 50% of health, when you revive, he will still have 50%. Unfortunately, if you plan to unlock this achievement, you will have to forget about using Vita-Chambers. This feature can be turned off through the option menu. Please do that immediately because otherwise you may accidently die and be revived and that will ruin the whole plan. Also, to make things simpler, start playing the game on easy or normal and literary run through the game completing only scenario related missions. Obviously, this will require you to replay the game for other achievements but if you want to get “Big Brass Balls”, you will have to make some sacrifices. Rushing through the game won’t take much time and after that you will be able to compete it the way you like enjoying every move and unlocking other achievements one by one.

Rapture Historian (40)
Find 100 audio diaries.

Audio diaries are collectable items that you will find through each section of Rapture. They do not influence the story but provide back stories and depth to characters and if you want to get the most of Bioshock 2, you should definitely listen to them all. Some of audio diaries are easy to find and mostly you will run into them during the process. At the same time there are those that are not easy to get. In this case you will have to explore the underwater world as attentively as possible. All in all there are 128 collectable audio diaries but to open this achievement you will have to find only 100. And remember: if you see a diary, do not hesitate and pick it up right away. Otherwise, when you progress through the game, you won’t be able to go back and gather them afterwards.

Unnatural Selection (10)
Score your first kill in a non-private match.

This must be done in a Ranked Match. This is not hard to get even if you are not that good in playing FPS. If you have any difficulties taking down other players, do not forget about using your plasmids – those are really great items. Also, do not stand on one place and take cover. Combine your weapons and plasmids while shooting at other players. You should get this achievement after your first successful kill but to make sure that game saves the progress, finish the match and do not quit in the middle of it.

Welcome to Rapture (10)
Complete your first non-private match.

Technically, you do not even need to win the match or kill anyone to get this achievement. Just start any Ranked Match and play to the very end. If you kill at least one player during the match, at the end of non-private match you will get two achievements: “Unnatural Selection” and “Welcome to Rapture”. But, if your host quits or you are disconnected you won't be rewarded for completing the level.

Disgusting Frankenstein (10)
Become a Big Daddy for the first time in a non-private match.

This must be done in a Ranked Match and in almost any game mode other than “Capture the Sister”. While running around the areas of Rapture, at a certain point you will see a pop up message at the bottom of the screen saying that “A Big Daddy suit has spawned near your location.” If you know where a Big Daddy suit spawns, run their as fast as possible, get closer to the suit and press “A” to wear it. Keep it in mind that other players will also try to get the suit and you might meet some resistance trying to get the special item. Fight for your suit anyway and when you win one, put it on and get 10G achievement points. If you won’t get the suit from the first attempt, do not worry: just keep trying.

"Mr. Bubbles-- No!" (20)
Take down your first Big Daddy in a non-private match.

This must be done in a Ranked Match. While playing any non-private match (except “Capture the Sister”), at some point in the game a Big Daddy suit will spawn randomly. This time you won’t have to get the suit. Just on the contrary: wait until someone picks it up. Now, find the lucky guy and kill him. You do not have to waste all of the player’s health but that last shot has to be on you. If somebody else is the last to shoot – you won’t get the achievement mentioned. One of the most effective ways to kill a Big Daddy is to Incinerate! or Winter Blast and then use the Drill, shotgun or machine gun (or anything else with heavy fire).

Mother Goose (20)
Save your first Little Sister in a non-private match.

This must be done in a Ranked Match. Start “Capture the Sister” match and while playing on the offense, return her to the vent. It might take a while cause lots of bad guys (other players) will try to stop you from doing that. To make things easier do not forget to use the Aero Dash Plasmid (you will earn it at Level 4).

Two-Bit Heroics (10)
Complete your first trial in a non-private match.

Trials can also be associated as in-game challenges playing which you can gather more ADAM and as far as this is the most valuable thing in the game – completing Trials is something you should definitely consider as your priority. The benefits of playing trials are pretty obvious: trials help you to level faster and the higher the level – the better your chances are to survive. Though, you can complete trials only while playing online and only in a public matches. Strategically, you can split trials into three groups:
Group 1. “Weapon Trials”
In most cases Weapon trials are pretty easy and straight forward. At the beginning you will have to do simple tasks like scoring 30 kills on enemy splicers (other players). But with your progress on leveling up, things will obviously get tougher. For example, one of the hardest for me was scoring a Grenade launcher kill on an enemy while they're in the air. But perfect timing with precise shooting does all the magic.
Group 2. “Plasmids/Combo Trials”
As long as you know how to use Plasmids at crucial moments, playing the second group of trials won’t be a problem at all. Just on the contrary – some players find them easier than those from the Group 1. To complete this one you will have to master in using plasmids in combats, though random shooting at your enemies won’t work. Make sure you use plasmids in combinations, one after the other with some strategy and tactics: set traps, slow down your enemies and do whatever it takes to bring as much damage as possible.
Group 3. “General trials”
This group is likely to become your least favorite, mostly because General Trials are not that action like and usually your task will be to find and eliminate someone who has a picture of you.
If you are lost and do not know what to do, go to the “Multiplayer” menu and click on Statistics, then go to “Trails”. Pick a section you plan to play or are playing right now and get all the necessary information.

Achieve Rank 10.

The game mode doesn’t really matter as long as it is online and you enjoy it.

With the full list of levels and rewards you will get reaching them you can get acquainted by going to the Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Unlocks post.

Proving Grounds (20)
Win your first non-private match.

Obviously, this will come to you naturally while playing non-private matches online. Join any Ranked game-play you feel comfortable playing and either be the overall winner or on the winning team. Don’t worry if you do not get this from the first attempt – you will definitely unlock it sooner or later.

Man About Town (10)
Play at least one non-private match on each multiplayer map.

This must be done in a Ranked Match. I know that so far you probably have your favorite map where you enjoy spending time hanging out with other players but if you plan to unlock this achievement, you will have to play at least one non-private match on each multiplayer map. You do not have to win the match – just enter the game and play it to the final. Here’s the list of maps you have to visit:
1. Arcadia
2. Farmer's Market
3. Fort Frolic
4. Hephaestus
5. Home for the Poor
6. Kashmir Restaurant
7. Medical Pavilion
8. Mercury Suites
9. Neptune's Bounty
10. Point Prometheus
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to select levels and they are picked randomly which means that it might take a while to get things done. But, if you’re working on “Choose the Impossible” achievement, you will definitely visit all locations at least once by the time you get to Level 40.

Secret Achievements

Daddy's Home (10)
Found your way back into the ruins of Rapture.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. Pretty soon after you start the game, you will meet your first Big Sister. While the game progresses, you will follow her into a big room where she will break the glass on the window letting the water to fill the room. Walk out of that room and simply follow the arrow that will lead you to an airlock switch. Throw the switch and you should get the achievement automatically.

Protector (20)
Defended yourself against Lamb's assault in the train station.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. All you have to do is to kill all the splicers in the train station area. When you’re done, the “Protector” achievement will pop up.

Sinclair’s Solution (20)
Joined forces with Sinclair in Ryan Amusements.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. Join forces with Sinclair in Ryan Amusements and get your 20G achievement points.

Confronted Grace (10)
Confronted Lamb’s lieutenant in Pauper’s Drop.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. You will find Grace in Pauper's drop. I am pretty sure you will figure out the rest.

Defeated the Preacher (20)
Defeated the Preacher.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. As it appears, the Preacher is the boss of Siren Alley. You will meet him in the “Temple of the Lamb”. Technically, he is pretty much alike a Spider Splicer but with a ton of health and with the security bot as his companion. You are also going to find a Brutish Splicer and some other trash mobs in the room but they can be taken care of without any problems.
Now, this is something you would like to keep in mind: a healing station is to the right inside the room and can be hacked quickly after dispatching the Brutish Splicer or before with autohacking arrow/bolt. Use your medkits and eve syringes wisely but do not save hem for later cause later might never come. And the last but not the least: do not forget to use your camera when fighting harder enemies. This will give you a lot of research points.

Nose for News (20)
Uncovered the secret of Dionysus Park.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. The way to find out about the secret of “Dionysus Park” is pretty easy: just do your job and rescue or harvest 3 Little Sisters. After you rescue/harvest the third one, you will get the achievement.

Found Lamb's Hideout (20)
Gained access to Lamb’s stronghold.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. While progressing through the game, one of your tasks will be to take the genetic sample from Gil. Once you’re done, go back to the oxy fill pump station and activate the lever. A huge rock will open up notifying you that the achievement is unlocked.

Reunion (50)
Reunited with your original Little Sister.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. You will get this achievement almost at the very end of the game. While progressing through the mission, you will have to deal with two big sisters and, of course, you need to defeat both of them. Now, pick up the Big Sister suit for Eleanor. After you bring it to her, you will return to your body and she will come to rescue you. Upon that you will also get a Plasmid that allows you to summon her (as a Big Sister) so she can help you in fights. It’s really nice to have someone covering your back.

Heading to the Surface (25)
Headed to the surface on the side of Sinclair's escape pod.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. This achievement will come to you when you head into Sinclair’s escape pod. Just do what you have to do and get 25G achievement points for that.

Escape (100)
Escaped Rapture.

This is a story related and can’t be missed. You will be able to unlock this achievement almost at the very end of the game. “Escape” achievement will likely pop up regardless the difficulty you play on and right after you run along the corridor with Eleanor Lamb with the corridor blowing up and you grabbing onto the bathysphere.

9-Irony (5)
Paid your respects to the founder of Rapture.

This is actually an odd achievement and you can easily miss it if you do not know what to do. Your way of paying respect to the founder of Rapture will be rather strange, so take a pen and write it down: While exploring Ryan Amusements you will find a statue of Andrew Ryan sat at a desk. He will be inside “Journey to the Surface”, right at the entrance to your left. If you look behind Andrew Ryan in the far corner, you will see a golf club and a golf ball. Use Telekinesis to pick up the club and fire with it at the statue head. I actually missed this achievement during my first attempt (successful, of course) to finish the game. If you still do not know what to do, here’s a short video guide for you.

[video=youtube;Bi6CgcBv7eE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi6CgcBv7eE&feature=player_embedded[/video]

Distance Hacker (5)
Used the Hack Tool to hack an object at a distance.

This is story related and can’t be missed. During the game you will be granted with a special weapon that shoots “hack arrows”. Those arrows give you a possibility to hack different objects from a distance. There are also arrows that will hack objectives automatically. The first time you successfully hack an object from the distance using Hack Tool, you will get your 5G achievement points and the achievement itself. For more information about hacks and objectives you should check the “Master Hacker” achievement.

Unbreakable (20)
Defended yourself against the Big Sister without dying.

Randomly during the game you will be forced to fight with pretty tough enemy known as the Big Sister. You will run into the Big Sister on a regular basis throughout the game but you won’t have too much options to unlock this achievement. I can’t say that there is a certain strategy on killing Big Girls but as long as you use heavy weapons and combine them with Plasmids, you shouldn’t have any problems defeating Big Sisters, especially on easy difficulty. Fight, Hide, Use Med Kits, Fight again.

[video=youtube;yU33i7wDT9M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU33i7wDT9M&feature=player_embedded[/video]

Look at You, Hacker (15)
Killed 50 enemies using only hacked Security.

This might take a while because usually turrets and security bots do not just appear from nowhere.
While hacking various machines for "Master Hacker" you will need to hack the security bots and turrets. Hack one of these robots and allow them to kill for you. A little patience is required as you will have to let the security bots kill your enemies and not just a few – the whole group of 50! Luckily, you won’t have to kill 50 enemies in a row which leaves us a place for creativity. By the way – if you plan on using security Plasmids or Security Cameras – forget about that idea immediately cause even if those actions of yours are helpful, they won’t influence the achievement in any possible way. You need to directly hack a turret or bot for your kills to count!
While progressing through the game you will find enough turrets and security bots. Just hack them and make sure they do your job. But, if by any chance you happen to have any complications finding those, allow the security cameras to raise the alarm so you can hack the bots that appear.

Adopted a Little Sister (5)
Adopted a new Little Sister for the first time.

This is story related and can't be missed. When you encounter a Little Sister, you will be offered to Save, Adopt or Harvest the girl. Choose “Adopt” when you encounter your very first Little Sister and this achievement will become unlocked. Also, keep choosing “Adopt” if you plan to complete some other Little Sister related achievements.

Savior (25)
Saved every Little Sister and spared Grace, Stanley and Gil.

If you plan to stay on the good side, this achievement will obviously become yours anyway. Here’s what you need to do to get it:
1. Save all Little Sisters;
2. Spare the lives of Grace Holloway, Stanley Poole and Gil Alexander. Those are discrepant game heroes and at a certain point you will meet them helpless. When so, you can either kill or save each and every of them. But, if you want to get 25G achievement points and “Savior” achievement itself, you should leave all of them alive.

Counterattack (5)
Killed an enemy with its own projectile.

With the help of Telekinesis you can actually do crazy stuff and stopping projectiles is one of them. First of all, you need to find enemies that throw projectiles. Usually, those will be Splicers, Big Daddies (not all of them), turrets and else. The task is pretty simple: when someone throws a grenade or launches a rocket at you, use telekinesis to stop it and then throw it back. Do not walk around too long while holding the rocket/grenade or it will explode right at your face and you do not want that, right? One of the easier ways to earn this achievement is to kill a Rumbler with its own rockets. You can stand in front of it and keep using telekinesis over-and-over until you kill the Big Daddy.

DLC: Rapture Metro Pack
Cost: 800 MSP Achievements: 3 Points: 150

Aqua Incognita (25)
Play at least one non-private match on each downloadable content map.

This achievement might get tricky at a certain point because you will have to organize a game with 5 more players (you’re the Sixth one). Now, here’s a nice way to complete this achievement if you have 5 friends that also happen to be Bioshock 2 fans. Play Adam Grab game and do not let anyone touch the little sister. While waiting for the game to end, you can work on trials to help towards the leveling achievements. When the game comes to its logical end with everyone scoring 0 points, it will automatically count for everyone as a Win. This strategy will simply save your time and members of your group won’t have to win the game 6 times on each map one after the other. The very same thing has to be done on all the 6 Downloadable Maps.
1. Dionysus Park
2. Fighting McDonagh's
3. Fontaine Fisheries
4. Pauper's Drop
5. Siren Alley
6. Smuggler's Hideout
Of course, you can go for the achievement all by yourself but this will take a while to get. If you stick to the plan with 5 friends of yours playing the game, you will have to do the following: each person from your company will have to win a game on one of the maps above at least once.

Territorial (25)
Win a non-private match in each of the 6 new maps.

This achievement might get tricky at a certain point because you will have to organize a game with 5 more players (you’re the Sixth one). Your task is to win on all the six maps at least once. Of course, the best way to do that is to play with your friend and set up the game where every member of the company wins at least once on every map. Yes, it might take a while but this is one of the easiest things to do. Here’s the list of maps you have to be a winner on:
1. Dionysus Park
2. Fighting McDonagh's
3. Fontaine Fisheries
4. Pauper's Drop
5. Siren Alley
6. Smuggler's Hideout
Now, here’s a nice way to get things done for everyone from your company: play Adam Grab game and do not let anyone touch the little sister. While waiting for the game to end, you can work on trials to help towards the leveling achievements. When the game comes to its logical end with everyone scoring 0 points, it will automatically count for all of you as a Win. This strategy will simply save your time and members of your group won’t have to win the game 6 times on each map one after the other.

Reincarnation (100)
Use Rebirth to start again!

Your game strategy will have to be a lot like the one used in two previous achievements. This achievement might get tricky at a certain point because you will have to organize a game with 5 more players (you’re the Sixth one). Now, here’s a nice way to complete this achievement if you have 5 friends that also happen to be Bioshock 2 fans. Play Adam Grab game and do not let anyone touch the little sister. While waiting for the game to end, you can work on trials to help towards the leveling achievements. When the game comes to its logical end with everyone scoring 0 points, it will automatically count for everyone as a Win. This strategy will simply save your time and members of your group won’t have to win the game 6 times on each map one after the other. But, when picking a level, try to get the one that has at least 3 turrets so up to 6 people may boost. In case if you can’t get one, just have the 2 other players trade off on holding the little sister for points. Now get two people per turret. Trade off hacking them for 10 points every 5 seconds.

DLC: The Protector Trials
Cost: 400 MSP Achievements: 7 Points: 100

Litmus Test (5)
Earn 6 stars in the Protector Trials

In order to unlock this achievement you will have to complete the first three Trials. The math here is pretty simple: for the first Trial you will get 1 star, for the second one – 2 stars and for the third Trial – 3 stars. When you finish the third trial successfully, the “Litmus Test” achievement will be yours.

Acid Test (10)
Earn 18 stars in the Protector Trial

If you want to unlock this achievement, you will simply have to keep on playing after you unlock “Litmus Test,” which requires 6 stars. The number of stars will vary depending on the trial you play: the third trial in each group gives you 3 stars, next group 2 and the next one after that just 1 star.
As always, strategical decisions and acts are all up to you but in the description below you will find a couple of tips that will help you to make things a lot easier.
1. Probably, the hardest part is to move to and from the vending machines. This maneuver will leave the Little Sister alone and defenseless. So, before getting anywhere, make sure you set enough traps to keep the bad guys away for at least half a minute. To do that everything trap-like will come in handy: Cyclone traps, mini turrets, trap rivets and proximity mines are all excellent examples. The Decoy Plasmid is also reasonably good at distracting splicers.
2. Despite all the expectations, Brute Splicers and other Big Daddies won’t hurt the Little Sister. At least, I haven’t seen them doing that while playing myself which means that you can concentrate on killing them without feeling guilty for leaving the Little Sister alone. Though, try to keep your eyes on the girl while dealing with the bad guys and make sure that regular splicers do not try to disturb her.
3. Hack everything that can be hacked. This will give you a lot of advantage in the future. Hacking vending machines brings better prices on ammo and health kits. Also, do not forget about the health machines – they will be handy too. By the way: I always do my best to discover the level to see what and where and pretty often a splicer would run off and never return just because I took 2 minutes to check the level and hack 1 or 2 health stations. Speaking of which…
4. To leave your enemies without supplies, destroy every health-station you can find. Usually, there are no more than 2 health stations on every match. By doing so you prevent splicers from using them and recovering health. Hacking health-stations is not recommended.
5. Do not forget to use your Plasmids and take as much advantage of them as possible. Well, it doesn’t matter what you are going to use but simply keep it in mind that Electricity is very effective in water and Fire shows its best in oil. Those combinations really help a lot.
6. Always remember to watch your health. Do not hesitate to use medical kits.
7. Keep enemies from the Little Sister: the longer she harvests ADAM without interruption, the better your score will be at the end. By the way – you can finish the Trial by picking up the Little Sister when she’s done collecting ADAM. This actually might be very useful if you happen to be low on health. Also, keep it in mind that remaining splicers will continue to attack even after the Little Sister stops harvesting and killing them won’t give you much credit.

Trial By Fire (15)
Earn 36 stars in the Protector Trials

Continue playing and win all the possible stars in the Protector Trials. All in all there are 36 of them. You will get a total of 6 stars from each of the main Trials (6 trials X 6 starts = 36 stars). During the match your task will be pretty simple: you need to protect a Little Sister and the longer she harvests ADAM without interference, the higher her multiplier climbs (the best you can get is 4X). Basically, a nice strategy to do it right is to secure the place by setting traps, placing turrets and staying as close to the Little Sister as possible. But, to make things easier for you, we are going to share a bit more detailed guide on how to protect your little girl from getting hurt.

Enemy of the Family (15)
Earn an A rank in all Protector Trials

To unlock this achievement you will be forced to show some gaming skills and achieve an A rank in all Protector Trials which means that you are supposed to earn no less than 90 % or better of the available ADAM in the original 18 Trials. Your task will be pretty simple: you need to protect a Little Sister and the longer she harvests ADAM without interference, the higher her multiplier climbs (the best you can get is 4X).

Perfect Protector (20)
Collect 100% of the ADAM in a single Protector Trial

One of the locations that worked great for me was Adonis Baths #2. But you can try to unlock this achievement whenever you find is comfortable. The strategy here is pretty simple and won’t differ much from those in Single Player. Use as much traps as possible and place them around the Little Sister. Also, try to cover holes and doorways with those traps as well. After you (or your traps) kill a few Splicers, you will get $100 (maybe a bit less). Spend the money on Trap Bolts and cover the place with them again. Do whatever it takes to keep enemies from the Little Sister.
By the way, there is a nice little thing you can get after completing all the trials on all the maps. Once you’re done, you will be offered to play “Bonus” trials on each map. But, on the “Bonus” trials you will have all your weapons and, what is really great, you will be able to head to the Gene Bank and select any tonics or plasmids you want (even “Summon Eleanor”).

Get a Bigger Bucket (25)
Collect 50% of the ADAM available in all Protector Trials

To unlock this achievement you will have to complete 18 different trials and gather 50% of the total Adam on all those trials. Though, keep it in mind that this has to be 50% of the total Adam and not at least 50% on each trial. But if you have a nice strategy on how to deal with bad guys, do your best and get A+ on the first 9 levels and collect all the Adam. If you do that, the achievement mentioned will pop out right away. As for me, I managed to unlock it while completing the 10th Trial. All of my previous trials were completed on A or A+. In general, Trials are not hard to complete but if you need some tips on strategy, check out the “Enemy of the Family” achievement solution.

Guardian Angel (10)
Completed all bonus Protector Trials.

There is a nice little thing you can get after completing all the trials on all the maps. Once you’re done, you will be offered to play “Bonus” trials on each map. But, on the “Bonus” trials you will have all your weapons and, what is really great, you will be able to head to the Gene Bank and select any tonics or plasmids you want (even “Summon Eleanor”). All in all there are 6 Bonus trials (1 for each Level). By all means, you can find your own way to fight enemies but the most effective one is to secure the area with traps and make sure that no one gets to the Little Sister closer than required. Place traps, set charges, set mini-turrets and use everything you feel like using to get things done. With those defenses and your favorite gun, protecting the Little Sister (and even getting an A/A+ rank) won’t be a problem.

DLC: Minerva's Den
Cost: 800 MSP Achievements: 8 Points: 150

Garbage Collection (10)
Destroy all 10 Vacuum Bots in Minerva's Den

Sometimes, in Bioshock 2 you will be asked to do strange things. In order to unlock this achievement you will have to destroy 10 Vacuum Bots in Minerva's Den. You will easily identify them because they look like vacuum cleaners. They are scattered around the DLC and hold items inside. But don’t worry – killing Vacuum Bots is not hard because they are harmless and do not fight back. Before you start killing the innocent cleaners, Note this:
You have to destroy all 5 Bots in Minerva`s Den BEFORE you get on the Elevator! Otherwise you have to start all over again, because you cannot get back up again!
Now, let’s find those harmless pieces of machinery and make they pay for things that haven’t done yet.
Minerva’s Den 1/5
Head North to the “Rapture Central Computing” area and open the first two doors. There will be a Gatherer’s Garden. Go to your left and pretty soon you will see the Vacuum Bot. Destroy the bot and take the item hidden inside.
Minerva’s Den 2/5
While you progress through the game, at a certain point you will get the Hack Tool. After you add it to your inventory, go to McClendon Robotics. Follow the indicators (pretty hard to miss them) and they will lead you to the demonstration stage. When you reach a big room, get inside and fight all the enemies you can find. As for the Vacuum Bot – It’s behind a barrier on the stage.
Minerva’s Den 3/5
Probably, a lack of great places forced developers to hide the third Vacuum Bot in McClendon Robotics not that far from the second one. As soon as you see the “’Robotics Workshops” indicator, head to your right and continue going until you enter the room with the “Workshops” indicator. When in the room, continue moving and you should see a door to your right. Get inside that room and the vacuum bot will be hidden in the secret room behind the metal screen. Destroy the bot and take the item hidden inside.
Minerva’s Den 4/5
Get into the “’Air-Tite Archives” > head to your right until you see the “New Accounts” Indicator. In the next room at the end of the short hallway you will find the 4th Vacuum Bot. Destroy the bot and take the item hidden inside.
Minerva’s Den 5/5
In order to find and destroy the 5th Vacuum Bot, you will need the “Gravity Well” Plasmid. When you get one, head to the “Rapture Central Computing” area and follow the “Corporate Offices” indicators. If you see a closed door with an electromagnetic locker it means that you’re at the right place. Now it’s the highest time to use the “Gravity Well” Plasmid. Throw it into the space above the door and it will unlock it. Get inside, turn right and head to the door in the right corner. Open it and you will find the 5th bot. Kill the bot and take the item hidden inside.
Now, let’s move on to the second part of the game to find the other 5 Vacuum Bots. And remember, if you are already here but you haven’t got 5 bots from Minerva’s Den, it means that you will have to start the game all over again or attempt to practice some magic with your saves.
Operations 1/5
When the level starts, enter the door to your right (that will be “Programming Area”). Now find the switch to your left and use “Electro Bolt” Plasmid to open the door. You will find the Vacuum Bot inside the little room. Destroy the bot and take the item hidden inside.
Operations 2/5
If you plan to unlock the “High Score” achievement, you will also run into another Vacuum Bot that has to be destroyed. It is not that far from the Spitfire game. Enter the room with four visible consoles and get into the door to your right. When inside, pass through the second door and go upstairs. Take the door to your left. Continue walking and you will see the bot rather sooner than later. Destroy it and take the item hidden inside.
Operations 3-4/5
Luckily, those two will be pretty close on to each other and in order to find them, here’s what you should do: pass through the underwater tunnel with ‘’Core Access’’ indicators and get to the Gatherer’s Garden (it will be on your left). Take the stairs (again – to your left). Now turn right and locate the bot. Bang-bang and take the item hidden inside. Now, to find the next one, take the elevator behind you and when the door opens – the next vacuum bot will be right in front of you! Destroy it and get what’s inside.
Operations 5/5
To find the last Vacuum bot you will have to do the next: at a certain point of the game process you will reach a room with a flashing indicator showing “Overdrive.” Oh, almost forgot – there will be frozen people too. At this point go upstairs to your right and pass through the door. In the room you will find the final bot. Destroy this piece of machinery and pick up what’s inside it.

Lancer Killer (10)
Kill a Lancer Big Daddy

In Minerva's Den you will have to Save or Harvest 6 Little Sisters. All of the girls will be protected by the newest version of Big Daddy – Lancer Big Daddy. He might be tough to deal with but only if you have no idea on how to kill these enemies. But, here’s a good method that will help you to kill a Lancer Big Daddy almost in no time.
Wait until you get the Ion Laser and upgrade it. This update will give your Ion Laser a lot more healthy power and full Boost Cell ammo and things like that have always been useful. Now, put out two mini-turrets and shock the guy with 4 fully charged Boost cell shots. This crazy burst of energy will put his health down to almost nothing. Besides, he will be busy dealing with turrets and will forget about you. So, a few more shots and he’s dead.

ADAM Addict (10)
Resolve all the Little Sisters in Minerva's Den

In this context “Resolving” means that you are supposed to either Harvest or Save every Little Sisters in the DLC. All in all there are 6 Little Sisters that have to be saved/harvested: 3 sisters in Minerva's Den (The first level) and 3 sisters in Operations (The second level). If you have problems finding Little Sisters, keep walking around in different areas and rather sooner than later you will definitely find them all. You might want to keep it in your mind that Little Sisters will be guarded by the new Lancer Big Daddies which means – bring along plenty of Health and Firepower!

High Score (10)
Get 9999 points in a single game of Spitfire

Spitfire is a semi-hidden arcade machine in the second area of the game (Operations). It also reminds the “Asteroids” game, if you know what I mean. The main goal of this game is pretty simple – all you have to do is to move around and shoot things. What can be easier than that? Well, for the first couple of seconds you won’t find it hard but with the future progress things are definitely going to get pretty tough. Do not get sad if you fail for the first time. Things like that require little practice. Also, scoring 9999 points won’t take you long – 2 minutes tops. Of course, if you do not plan to shoot back, you will be forced to spend a lot more time playing Spitfire.
Now, to find the game, you will have to start the Second Level and go straight ahead, past the front lobby desk. Now, enter the door. Go downstairs to the right and follow the signs for the "Programming Area". Pass the first "Programming Area" door and go straight. Do not enter the second door either. If you did everything right, you will appear in a bigger room with doors on both sides and some machines in the middle. Head to the right and enter through the right door. Right in front of you there should be another door. Enter through the door and go upstairs. Right next to the Circus of Values you will find something that will look like an old computer monitor. This is the Spitfire game. You know what to do next)
Probably, the only tip here is to move around as much as possible and press the “A” button as fast as you can.
