proximity mines.  Takes 2 on Medium.  You have to put them in a trail, separated by

a bit, and run with Hector as he runs over them in order to make progress towards a

death warp. But you've got plenty of time to set that up while Jasmine's ghost does

Cohen sends some splicers at you.
+
The splicers spawn based on where you are standing and where you are looking.  As far
+
as I can tell, there are certain spawn points located around the area and the game
+
chooses the closest spawn point to your location that you aren't looking towards, as
+
long as you aren't too close to it.  For example, there is a spawn point in the
+
corner of the lower level, in the far right corner when looking away from the
+
quadtych.  If you are standing next to the wall, near the glass cases, looking away
+
from the spawn point, one of the initial splicers will spawn there.  If you walk
+
past the cases towards the spawn point, then the splicer will not spawn there.  If
+
you look towards the spawn point, the splicer will not spawn there.  There doesn't
+
seem to be any determining factor as to whether it is a thuggish or spider splicer
+
that spawns, either, although spider splicers are much more common.
+
Two splicers spawn as Cohen begins saying "Fly away, little moth!"  Every time you
+
kill a splicer, one more spawns, with the exception of the tenth one, which spawns
+
two.  Cohen says "Smile, smile!" after killing the fifth one, which has no effect on
+
the game.  You have to kill a total of 17.
+
Because of the way the splicers spawn, the best way to fight is to kill all the
+
splicers in view, then spin 180 degrees to kill the ones that just spawned behind
+
you.

"One other change besides adding a death warp after the last photo is buying less incendiary bolts and getting at least one hacking tool at that shop.  Maybe getting more electric buck, instead, too, since I doubt I'll be needing that many incendiary bolts.  It will be easier to tell once I get further into it what ammo I would rather have more of.

Vita-Chambers

  1. At the entrance
  2. Facing the door to Poseidon Plaza

Normal Progression

Normally this level involves two meetings with Cohen, and killing some dudes. However, most of it can be skipped.

In the room where the final Bathysphere sinks into the water, with some clever object  
stacking and platforming one can get onto the invisible wall that runs around the 
perimeter of the normal walkable area of the room, then follow this around, over the 
top of the trigger that removes the Bathysphere, and drop into the Bathysphere, use 
it and end the level.

Death Warps

None.
