This will take you to the section directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | [INTR] Introduction | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to my FAQ. This is my first FAQ, and I didn't want to embark on such a long quest as to conquer a full fledged walkthrough. This guide covers Bioshock Infinite, the third game in the Bioshock trilogy, following Bioshock 2. I am a big fan of both, and I thoroughly enjoyed the games that came out before those two, System Shock 1 and 2. The purpose of this guide is to help all you achievement hunters out there who are interested in netting a 1000g for this game. This is a simple game to ace, except for two achievements which will consume most of your efforts. Thank you for reading this, I hope that this faq helps you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | [OVRV] Achievement Overview | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Number of Achievements: 50 (For now) Achievement Difficulty: (from 1 - 10, 10 being the hardest) 5 Least amount of playthroughs to get all Achievements: 1 (If you really try), probably 2 Number of Missable Achievements: 0 (they carry over through checkpoint select) Story Related Achievements: 10 - 15 (depending on difficulty) Details: At the time of this writing, none of the dlc's have come out. Generally, each dlc includes 10 new achievements worth 200g. I don't know what the case will be with this game, but I do know that I will be covering those when they come out. I will make this faq 99% spoiler free, covering the story related achievements last, and I will also have to include spoilers in the ending analyzation (obviously). If there happens to be a spoiler in a particular section, I will warn you with something like *SPOILER*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | [ACHV] Achievement Guide | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The bulk of this faq, I will now list every achievement and how to unlock it. First, I will create an example of an achievement so you understand how this section will work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achievement: This is the name of the achievement In - Game description: What the description of the achievement in game is What you have to do: Sometimes the description in game is wonky, here I will clarify. Gamerscore: How much gamerscore this achievement is worth Guide: Here I will tell you how to earn the achievement, giving you the area where you can unlock it and giving you tips on how to unlock this achievement easier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lets get started. Achievement: Tin Soldier In - Game description: Completed the game on Easy difficulty or above What you have to do: Simply finish the game on easy difficulty. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: When you start the game, select easy difficulty. When you complete the final battle, this achievement will unlock. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achievement: Saw the Elephant In - Game description: Completed the game on Normal difficulty or above What you have to do: Simply finish the game on normal difficulty. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: When you start the game, select Normal. When you complete the final battle, you will unlock this achievement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achievement: Stone Cold Pinkerton In - Game description: Completed the game on Hard difficulty or above. What you have to do: Simply finish the game on hard difficulty. Gamerscore: 50g Guide: When you start the game, select Hard. When you complete the final battle, you will unlock this achievement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achievement: Auld Lang Syne In - Game description: Completed the game on 1999 mode. What you have to do: You have to finish the game on 1999 mode to unlock this. Gamerscore: 75g Guide: There are two ways that you can go about unlocking 1999 mode. The first, recommended way is to complete the game. When you finish the game on any difficulty, you will unlock 1999 mode, and you will have experience with the game in order to simplify your run. The second, quicker way is to input the konami code at the title screen. I received an email from Valeska stating that the cheat will need to be inputted after the screen with Bioshock Infinite on it, with Press Start underneath. Input the code on the second screen. Thanks Valeska! The konami code on xbox is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. The code on playstation is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, X, O. Anyways, complete the game on this difficult difficulty(!) and this hefty achievement will pop. (For tips and hints on how to deal with 1999 mode, please visit this ['99T] section of the FAQ.) Also, if you play on this mode and beat the game, you get all achievements for easier difficulties as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Should Auld Acquaintance In - Game description: Unlocked 1999 mode. What you have to do: Unlock 1999 mode. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: There are two ways that you can go about unlocking 1999 mode. The first, recommended way is to complete the game. When you finish the game on any difficulty, you will unlock 1999 mode, and you will have experience with the game in order to simplify your run. The second, quicker way is to input the konami code at the title screen. I received an email from Valeska stating that the cheat will need to be inputted after the screen with Bioshock Infinite on it, with Press Start underneath. Input the code on the second screen. Thanks Valeska! The konami code on xbox is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. The code on playstation is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, X, O. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Industrial Accident In - Game description: Killed 20 enemies with a Sky-Hook Execution. What you have to do: Go into the brutal execution animation 20 times. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: If you get an enemies health down low enough, a skull appears above the enemies head. Click and hold the right stick in order to go into an animation where you execute the enemy. Sometimes, this skill could be rather hard to see, so make sure that during your melee you are always holding the right stick. Repeat this 20 times in order to unlock this achievement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Aerial Assassin In - Game description: Killed 20 enemies with a Sky-Line Strike. What you have to do: Go into the Sky-Line Strike animation 20 times(if you kill target) Gamerscore: 5g Guide: Jump onto a skyline. Keep swinging until you get close to enemies, and slow down by pulling back on your control stick. If you look at an enemy, then an "A" will appear above their head. Press A. You should be flying towards them at a rapid pace, and when you get close, you strike them with your Sky-Hook. If you kill the enemy (because bigger enemies won't be insta-killed), then you did it! Now just do this twenty more times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: A Real Pistol In - Game description: Killed 25 enemies with the Broadsider Pistol What you have to do: Pick up a pistol and kill people with it. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: The moment you get the pistol at the raffle, kill people with it. This gun is outclassed by literally every single other gun in the game, and as such you should get this achievement over as soon as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Passionately Reciprocated In - Game description: Killed 150 enemies with the Founder Triple R Machine Gun or Vox Repeater. What you have to do: Pick up either of these two machine guns and use them to kill 150 enemies. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: Find one of these guns and use them to kill 150 enemies. Your choice is which one you should carry. The Founder Triple R Machine gun has more ammo, but it does less damage. The Vox repeater, on the other hand, has less ammo, but it can kill people faster due to its higher damage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Street Sweeper In - Game description: Killed 50 enemies with the Founder China Broom Shotgun or the Vox Heater. What you have to do: Pick up either of these two shotguns and use them to kill 50 enemies. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: I find the shotgun to be much easier to use for this one. You find the China Broom way to late into the game, and it only has 10 shots max. Anyways, use the shotgun to kill 50 enemies and this achievement will pop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Big Game Hunter In - Game description: Killed 100 enemies with the Founder Huntsman Carbine or the Vox Burstgun. What you have to do: Kill 100 enemies with either of these two weapons. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: Pick up either of these two guns and use them to kill 100 enemies. I believe that the Huntsman Carbine is much better for this achievement because it has more range. The Vox Burstgun is 3 round burst, and as such it is harder to hit distant targets. The carbine doesn't suffer this range loss, and can be used both in close range and long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Loose Cannon In - Game description: Killed 25 enemies with the Paddywhacker Hand Cannon. What you have to do: Pick up the hand cannon and kill 25 people with it. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: I personally don't like the hand cannon, but one of the areas that you find it in (Good Time Club) is fairly close quarters and you should use it as much as you can in this area. Once you kill 25 enemies, this achievement will pop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: On a Clear Day... In - Game description: Killed 30 enemies with the Bird's Eye Sniper Rifle. What you have to do: Put 30 enemies out of their misery by sniping them. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: Find a sniper rifle. This achievement is not generally hard to get, but if you are not the best sniper then find a high perched spot away from all the action, and this will give you time to line up your shots. Then, kill 30 enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Here Little Piggy In - Game description: Killed 30 enemies with the Founder Pig Volley Gun or Vox Hail Fire. What you have to do: Have 30 enemies meet their demise by using either of these launchers. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: Both of these guns are similar, so I don't think that either one is easier to use than the other. So, find either of these weapons and fire off some rounds on enemies. When you kill 30, this achievement will pop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Master of Pyrotechnics In - Game description: Killed 20 enemies with the Barnstormer RPG. What you have to do: Pick up an RPG and blow 'em to smithereens. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: This achievement is easily unlock at *SPOILER* The hall of heroes, where you unlock shock jockey. *END SPOILER* In this area, there are enough enemies to kill with the RPG to net you this achievement, and you can ditch this gun after this. Of course, you could also just find one lying around in the heat of battle and use it to kill people. Kill 20 and this achievement is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Seasoned to Taste In - Game description: Killed 30 enemies with the Peppermill Crank Gun. What you have to do: Pick up this bad boy and unleash its insides on 30 unlucky foes. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: The only way to find a Crank Gun is to loot a patriot, or have Elizabeth open a tear which will give you a crank gun. Thus, whenever you kill a patriot, pick up its crank gun and kill people with it, and when you run out of ammo, ditch it. There are more than enough patriots to get crank guns, so as long as your accuracy doesn't suck too bad, you should be able to get this achievement. Just kill 30 people with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Well Rounded In - Game description: Used all 8 Vigors against enemies. What you have to do: Find and use every vigor against an enemy. (Actually hit an enemy) Gamerscore: 10g (Finally! Something not worth 5g!) Guide: This one could be hard. Sadly, some of the vigors are missable. Let's list'em off. Bucking Bronco: Can't miss it, on path Devil's Kiss: Can't miss it, on path Possession: Can't miss it, have to pick it up to progress Murder of Crows: You COULD miss it, if you try. It's right after the first crow-man fight. Shock Jockey: Can't miss it, needed to progress in main story Charge: MISSABLE: *SPOILER* After you open the tear without Chen Lins tools, you have to return to his workshop. After the first area is completed, exit through the door. In this area, there will be glass right in front of you. Walk around it, and look in the display case. There, you will find Charge. *END SPOILER* Undertow: Can't miss it, on path Return to sender: Two ways you can get it. First: At one point, closer to the end of the game, you will reach the Salty Oyster pub. Remember where this area is. Now, go on with your quest until you reach an optional toy store, which you can miss. Elizabeth will warn you however, so be aware. Enter the toy store, and go to the lower floor. Scout around, and you should find a Voxophone which will give you an optional side quest to access a hidden door. Return to the Salty Oyster. Look on the left and you will see a cash register. Walk up to it, and on the left you will see a hidden button, which will open a door. In that door is Return to sender. Second: When you go to Comstock House, one of the paths will have a vial on the right with Return to Sender in it. (This way is far easier, but the other way will net you an infusion upgrade.) Use each of these on an enemy and this achievement will pop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Combination Shock In - Game description: Performed all 8 of the Vigor combinations. What you have to do: There are 8 combinations with vigors. Do all of them. Gamerscore: 50g Guide: You don't need Return to sender for this. There are 8 combinations that you can do with vigors. Let's see all of'em: Possession and Shock Jockey Possession and Devil's Kiss Devil's Kiss and Charge Murder of Crows and Devil's Kiss Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey Bucking Bronco and Devil's Kiss Bucking Bronco and Charge Undertow and Shock Jockey Go down the list doing each of the combinations. In order to do a combination, use one vigor, and then switch and use the other. Some combinations are hard to do. Here they are: Bucking Bronco and Devil's Kiss This one may be hard to pull off because the enemy is in the air and you need to hit them with devils kiss. To make this easier, launch the enemy into the air and create a Devil's Kiss trap right below them. Undertow and Shock Jockey You have to reel the enemy in with a charged Undertow in order for this combination to work. Bucking Bronco and Charge You have to hit the enemy with charge while they are floating with Bucking Bronco. You will be told when you do a combination for the first time, and if the achievement doesn't unlock, then go through the list again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Vigorous Opposition In - Game description: Killed 75 enemies with a Vigor or while they are under the effects of a vigor. What you have to do: Kill 75 people with vigors or kill them during the effect of a vigor. Gamerscore: 50g Guide: This game has been (sorry for the term) "Call of Dutyified," and as such, you can beat the game without vigors. To get this achievement, USE YOUR VIGORS! Start as early as possible, and hit every enemy you see with a vigor if you have salts to spare. This is not a hard achievement, as it should come naturally if you play the game as it was intended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: More for Your Money In - Game description: Lured 3 enemies into a single Vigor trap 5 times. What you have to do: Put down a vigor trap and have it effect 3 people. Do this 5 times. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: This should come to you if you use traps often, but if not, then don't fret. I find that murder of crows is easiest to use as it has the most AOE range and as thus it is easier to hit 3 enemies at once. As you progress through the story, there should be clusters of enemies that you can use a trap on. Because you only have to get 3 enemies and you only have to do it 5 times means that this isn't a difficult achievement to get. A SUPER easy way to do this is to load up CH 19 where you're in the good time club, about to fight the first wave of enemies. Before they come out, head up to the curtain place a vigor trap right there. About 8 enemies come out of this one door, and you can get all 8 with one well placed vigor trap! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Mind Over Matter In - Game description: Killed 20 enemies using possessed machines. What you have to do: Possess any turret, and have it kill 20 enemies while possessed. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: This is a difficult achievement. This is much easier on easy(!). When you find a turret with enemies around it, take cover. Find a piece of cover that will allow you to shoot the enemies but without the turret shooting you. Now, weaken the enemies as much as possible, but without killing them. Possess the turret! It will tear everything apart as you sit back and watch while gathering kills for your achievement. Repeat this until the possessed machine kills 20 people and you have yourself an achievement! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Tear'em a New One In - Game description: Opened 30 tears. What you have to do: Have Elizabeth open 30 different tears. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: This is a very simple achievement as long as you remember to open every single tear that you come by. There are over 45 tears in the game, and you have to get 30 of them. The tears all have to be DIFFERENT. The tears that you open to progress in the story count as well. Overall, not a hard achievement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Strange Bedfellows In - Game description: Killed 20 enemies using allies brought in through a tear. What you have to do: Have Elizabeth open a tear that brings in an automatic turret. It has to kill 20 enemies. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: This achievement is almost identical to the Mind Over Matter achievement, except you don't need any salts. However, you can only do this achievement if the corresponding tear is available to use. So, get enemies down to very low health, and then open a tear that will kill them. Do this to 20 enemies and the achievement is yours! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: On the Fly In - Game description: Killed 30 enemies while riding a skyline. What you have to do: Get on a skyline and kill 30 enemies. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: First, find a skyline and hook up to it. Then, find enemies and kill 30 of them while riding the skyline. This is easier if you slow down as much as you can, and this is much easier if you have the THROTTLE CONTROL gear. Bata- bing, Bata-bang. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Bolt From the Blue In - Game description: Killed 5 enemies with a headshot while riding a skyline. What you have to do: Get a headshot 5 times on a skyline. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: This is the most pointless achievement in the game. You can get it the instant that you have access to skylines. Just hook yourself up, then slow down as much as possible. The enemies won't even move, making this achievement even easier. Just do this and get it over with, I'm mad that this one even exists. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Hazard Pay In - Game description: Killed 10 enemies by utilizing environmental hazards. What you have to do: Use environmental hazards to kill 10 enemies. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: What? Environmental hazards? Where? I thought this during my first playthrough. It turns out that there are, *VERY RARELY*, tears and gas leaks that you can open or set on fire to kill enemies. Whenever you see a tesla coil, these actually fry enemies, and it counts as an environmental hazard. Also, there are oil leaks which are scattered around but hard to find. You can light enemies on fire with this leak. Finally, there are tears which open up water puddles. Have an enemy stand in the water puddle and electrocute it. Just like in Bioshock 1! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Bon Voyage In - Game description: Killed 20 enemies by knocking them off Columbia. What you have to do: Knock 20 unlucky beings off of the wondrous Columbia. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: This is my favorite achievement in the game. This is one hard nut to crack if you aren't sure how to do it, mostly because it's very difficult to make somebody fall of by using only bucking bronco on them. The way you do this, is by using bucking bronco, and then charging into the enemy while they are in the air. This is easiest at the final battle. Also, make sure you are attacking heavy hitter (bigger) enemies, or you will kill them with charge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Skeet Shoot In - Game description: Killed 5 enemies while they are falling. What you have to do: End 5 people's lives by killing them while they fall. Gamerscore: 25g Guide: This is a difficult achievement because of the timing required. Use bucking bronco on an enemy, and wait for them to fall down by watching them with a shotgun. The *INSTANT* they pop out of bucking bronco, unload a round of the shotgun into their gut. Do this 5 times and the achievement is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Lost Weekend In - Game description: Killed 5 enemies while you are drunk. What you have to do: While you are drunk, use up all the stupidity in your brain and shoot a gun. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: I am almost positive that the bar in Shantytown is the best place for this. Get into the bar and drink all their alcohol. There are exactly 5 enemies in there which you can kill, so kill them an this achievement will pop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: David and Goliath In - Game description: Killed 20 "Heavy Hitter" enemies. What you have to do: Kill 20 Crow Masters, Handymen, Sirens, Patriots or Firemen. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: You simply cannot miss this. You have to fight multiple heavy hitters throughout the story, so you can't miss this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Heartbreaker In - Game description: Killed a Handyman by only shooting his heart. What you have to do: Only shoot a Handyman in the heart, and kill him. Gamerscore: 50g Guide: This is by far the hardest non completionist achievement in the entire game. This will take you many tries. First off, set the difficulty to easy. Next, you can approach this achievement one of 2 ways: 1. The legit way: Load up the first Chen Lin checkpoint (CH18). When you leave his workshop, take a left and then a right into a clock shop area. There will be a sniper there. Pick it up, and upgrade it TO THE MAX using the vending machine. Now, leave the area. Take a left and walk forth until the Handyman spawns. This is your first chance! Zoom in with the rifle, and unload a shot into his heart while he stops moving! Now, run away. Every time that he smashes the ground, he will linger for a second, cough, and cover his heart. The second his hand moves away from his heart, shoot him. He will take about 7 bullets to down on easy. Dang. (You can also do this with the hand cannon, but it would require you to stand closer to him as it has a bit of spread.) If you fail to hit him in the heart or you think you did(as there is no indication whether you did), then simply reload your checkpoint. 2. Glitch: Get the sniper and upgrade it, like in the first option. Then, summon the Handyman, and run into the back right area, to the right of the Good Time Club. There will be a freight hook, so launch up to that. Then, jump to the roof. Run to the end, and do a complicated jump to the barrels in the back. Shoot your gun so the Handyman notices you again. Now, move as far right as possible. The Handyman should get glitched so that he doesn't move at all, and you can shoot him. If this was confusing, then use this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gmSthT1Hc Anyways. That's it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Dress for Success In - Game description: Equipped a piece of Gear in all four slots. What you have to do: Find 4 different body types of gear, and equip them. Gamerscore: 5g Guide: No wonder this achievement is worth so little, you can't miss it. Seriously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Kitted Out In - Game description: Fully upgraded one weapon and one Vigor. What you have to do: Buy all possible upgrades for one weapon and one vigor. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: Find a vending machine when you have a lot of money. Don't worry, you can reload your checkpoint if you don't want to spend your money. Find the pistol upgrades, and buy all of them. Then, find a Vigor machine and buy the two cheapest vigor upgrades. (End game vending machines have the most upgrades.) The achievement is yours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Raising the Bar In - Game description: Upgraded one attribute to its maximum level. What you have to do: Get enough infusion upgrades to maximize any attribute. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: I really didn't think I would do this, but (See Infused with Greatness) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement(s): Infused with Greatness/Sightseer/The Roguish Type/Eavesdropper In - Game description: See below. What you have to do: Get all Infusion Upgrades/Use all Telescopes and kinetoscopes/Pick 30 different lock/get all voxophones Gamerscore: 25g/50g/25g/50g (That's a whopping mother F***ing 150g) Guide: Here, I have created a list of all the Voxophone locations. These will be in order of appearance, so don?t worry about missing any of these, as they are on the way to your objective. WELCOME CENTER Voxophone 1 "Love the Sinner" Right when you exit your capsule, turn left. Then, turn right at the chapel's altar. The voxophone is in this little room. Voxophone 2 "Undeserving" After you exit onto the main square with the statue, look in the back left for a store named Hudson?s Clothing Boutique. Look in the back behind the counter and you will see the voxophone next to a safe. Voxophone 3 "Everyman, All at Once" Progress through the town until you get to a sign that says ?Columbia Raffle Fair.? Go up the steps and turn left. There should be a garden, and under the table with the umbrella is this voxophone. Voxophone 4 "For I Am Lonely, Too" Just before raffle square, you will be prompted to hold X and observe a statue. Head up to this statue, and under it there is a bench. On the bench is the voxophone. RAFFLE SQUARE VOXOPHONES Voxophone 5 "Solution to Your Problems" After you get the pistol, keep advancing until you get to a Vigor vending machine. Here, there will be two cages with a table between them, and on it is the last voxophone for this chapter. COMSTOCK CENTER ROOFTOPS Voxophone 6 "Half a Jew" Right after you get the shield from Lutece, go to the kitchen of the Blue Ribbon restaurant and find the voxophone on a counter. Voxophone 7 "Otis? Nimble Fingers" This voxophone is in the Lansdowne Residence. You will have a battle on a series of rooftops, where you will obtain the machine gun. During the battle, you will reach a rooftop with a skylight on it. Drop in through one of the windows and go down the stairs until you reach a bathroom on your right. Head forward into the smallest bedroom. You will find a small room containing a locked chest. On one of the shelves is this voxophone. Voxophone 8 "A New Hunt" After you pass through the Montgomery Residence, there will be a small outdoor stage with a green cart drawn my two horses. This voxophone is on the small stage with a green cart drawn by two horses. FRATERNAL ORDER OF THE RAVEN Voxophone 9 "The Gift of the Emancipator" Pass the statue of Comstock killing a snake. Pass the building, and turn left to find a small room containing the voxophone. Easy. Voxophone 10 "The Lie of the Emancipator" As you enter the main chapel, there will be enemies waiting for you. Head up to one of the benches, and this voxophone will be lying there. Voxophone 11 "Symbols of our Lady" The last voxophone of this chapter is before you encounter the mini crow boss fight. Head onward past the altar and you will find a projector room. Endter the door on the ledt, and under a seal that says Protecting Our Race is the voxophone. MONUMENT ISLAND GATEWAY Voxophone 12 "Another Ark for Another Time" During the tutorial that appears about the skyrails, head to the gondola control station where you clear the second skyrail of cargo. Head right after getting of the skyline and you will find a small side room. There is a voxophone in the back of the upper office. MONUMENT TOWER Voxophone 13 "Tiger by the Tail" Once you enter Monument Tower, look to the left of the big statue and you will find this voxophone in the open locker. Voxophone 14 "TO: R. THOMPSON RE: FUSES" Pass the huge machine and go through the first set of doors. Then, take a left through a SPECIMEN IS DANGEROUS door and head up to the growth chart. This voxophone is directly to the right of the chart on a desk. Voxophone 15 "A Reward Deferred" Head through the second set of doors into a large room with a huge tesla coil machine in the center. Head forward, this voxophone is on the desk. Voxophone 16 "The Source of Her Power" Pay attention to when Elizabeth opens the tear to France. The next observation room is the location of this voxophone, on the right chair. BATTLESHIP BAY Voxophone 17 "Born in the River" This voxophone is under a red and white striped booth on the beach, next to a pair of rowboats. This is before you enter the arcade. Voxophone 18 "Heaven" Head into the amusement facility?s employee entrance, behind the Cage of the Bird challenge. Keep going forward past some doors and you will find a storage room. This voxophone is in a laundry basket. Voxophone 19 "A Dog?s Loyalty" As you progress through the arcade you will find restrooms that you can enter through two large double doors. Head into the men?s restroom, on the left, and you?ll find this voxophone on the counter. Voxophone 20 "Take Her Alive" After the interaction scene at the ticket office, kill all the enemies.

What you have to do: Buy 10,000 dollars worth of stuff. Gamerscore: 10g Guide: Buy everything. This is actually hard to get, but luckily it stacks through your playthroughs. There is however, a glitch: Spend as much money as you want, then keep reloading the checkpoint. Waddaya know. This will actually count towards your progress. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Coins in the Cushion In - Game description: Looted 200 containers What you have to do: Loot 200 containers Gamerscore: 10g Guide: Loot EVERYTHING. Starting from the beginning of the game, you should get this around the second to last mission. There are WAY MORE than 200 things to loot in this game, so this shouldn't be a problem. Remember, EVERYTHING. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Achievement: Scavenger Hunt In - Game description: Completed the game in 1999 mode without purchasing anything from a dollar bill vending machine. What you have to do: Above. Gamerscore: 75g(!) Guide: Ah, the brass balls of Infinite. This isn't as hard as you think it is, because vending machines don't even help you that much anyways.

Moving on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ['99T] 1999 Tips | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1999 mode is hard. How do you survive? Conserve Money - Don't waste money on vigors you won't use, or weapons upgrades you don't need. Upgrade you Shields - Shields replenish, nothing else does. Elizabeth will throw you health and salts anyways. Beat a Fight, then restart you checkpoint - Now that you know enemy spawns, movement, and how you can beat them, don't waste all that money and beat them. Search Everywhere - There are almost no resources in 1999, so look everywhere. After every fight, you will need to find food. Use these vigors: Bucking bronco - Immobilizing the enemy for a few seconds while you relocate is another way to stay on top of a fight. Possession - You want all the help you can get. Turrets shoot, and distract enemies. Murder of Crows - Great AOE distraction move, combined with crow nest upgrade is deadly. Undertow - That sniper keeps getting you? Those rockets annoying you? Pull'em in with Undertow, and kill them. Weapons - Always use a short/middle range gun and a long range gun Shotty/Sniper Carbine/Sniper Shotty/Carbine Conserve Ammo, Scavenge for ammo, and upgrade only the weapons you are using. Upgrade gear that will help you the most - Don't use pointless gear (thats a given) Have a plan for Hard enemies - Sirens - Shock Jockey + Hiding and popping out Patriots - Possess one and they'll kill each other. Handymen - Run away, turn around for a second and shoot him in the heart, repeat YOU CAN RELOAD YOUR CHECKPOINTS! This makes tons and tons of achievements easier. Basically, all the achievement that require you to kill enemies still count if your reload the checkpoint, allowing you to farm kills.
