Farmer's Market

"Where everything is fresh!"

- Postcard for the Farmer's Market

The Farmer's Market is the sixth level of BioShock. Jack must go to the market to find the ingredients for the Lazarus Vector to save the forests in Arcadia.

History
The Farmer's Market was Rapture's most lively and popular marketplace. It was a place folks could go to obtain the freshest produce -- apples, melons, tomatoes, delicious cheese and even pumpkins could be found being hawked by the vendors of the Farmer's Market. Citizens could also enjoy the wines at Worley Winery, and honey taken from the bee hives at the Silverwing Apiary. As stated many times in the signs, the Farmer's Market was established in 1948.

Silverwing Apiary
The Silverwing Apiary is divided into two sections -- a front desk with a counter and cash register, obviously used as a shop, and a large back room full of bee hives, and with a large hive suspended from the ceiling. Smoke can be released into the room to calm the bees by flipping one of two switches at the entry to the hive room. A clicking/ticking timer notifies workers of how much time they have left before the smoke clears, going faster as the timer runs out. When it does, the bees return to their aggressive state and attack anyone in the room.

All of the required samples for the Lazarus Vector can be found by searching the bee hive crates (five) and a safe in the corner containing three more.

Worley Winery
Worley Winery is styled in a provincial French design, with an upstairs area with wine racks, bar counter, cash register and numerous tables and chairs, and a lower area, the distillery; where the wine is produced and stored in large barrels. There are also numerous bottles of distilled water scattered around the winery, which might say something about what really goes into the wine... there is more than enough distilled water around the lower areas to fulfill the Lazarus Vector formula.

A hideout back in the half-flooded downstairs has a lot of loot, including Photographer's Eye. If the player picks it up, three Trap Bolts will deploy on the walls and block Jack's exit, while several Splicers arrive to attack him. If you are using the Natural Camouflage Gene Tonic just be patient and wait, the Splicers will walk right into the Trap Bolts.

The Main Market
The Main Market is filled with numerous small stores selling all kinds of produce, including meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables, now largely in a state of decay. It continues with Arcadia's pleasant garden theme and is charmingly paved with cobblestones, with trees and a large grassy open spaces for relaxation. Beneath the market there are storage rooms, one of which is flooded, and has a not-so-charming Big Daddy corpse propped up against a column. There is also a locked pump room, the code to which is 0512 (Market Maintenance Code), or it can be hacked.

There is small crawl space door above a Turret in the Main Market area. To gain access, climb the broken beam and walk along the edge of the ceiling beams, jumping the broken set. The crawl space contains some Proximity Mines and several Automatic Hack Tools.

Burial at Sea - Episode 2
The Farmer's Market is one of the key locations suggested for Atlas and his followers when they set their plan in motion.

Market

 * General note: There is only one Little Sister in this level, and while it is a relatively small level, this still means that a disproportionately large amount of explosive gasoline barrels and oxygen tanks are present in it. Don't waste ammunition by instantly attacking the Big Daddy/Little Sister pair you see in the Market. Instead, use telekinesis to hoard all of the explosives from throughout the level. A great choke point is on the bottom level of the market, near the vending machines which are down the stairs from the rocket turret. There is already a flammable gasoline patch on the floor in this choke point, as well as a few explosive barrels, but gather them all. Rarely does the game provide such a high concentration of explosives per Big Daddy fight, and with such a good choke point. Move Splicer corpses around the pile of explosives to lure the Little Sister there. If possible, hack the rocket turret instead of destroying it, then make sure you're on the stairs-side of the choke point when you spring the trap—i.e. by waiting for the Big Daddy to get close enough then launching a grenade. That way you can quickly retreat back up the stairs with supporting fire from the rocket turret. Even so, with this dense of a concentration of explosives in a confined space (over a dozen, maybe two) the initial explosion might outright kill the Big Daddy in a single instant. On some occasions the explosion is so big that it kills the Big Daddy instantly, and sends his burning corpse flying across the room. It's one of the more satisfying potential Big Daddy traps in the game.
 * Recording: "Bee Enzyme". Corpse: first enzyme sample of seven needed.
 * Through the door, an RPG Turret to the right is killing a Houdini. Take pics.
 * Go right and decoy/zap-hack the Turret. Pick up two Frag Grenades and a Proximity Mine.

 * Counter: 2 Pep Bars, Audio Diary: ADAM Explained, Electric Buck, 00 Buck.


 * Smoker Control Platform:
 * Always turn on the smoker before entering the hive room.
 * Every time the player searches a hive, a Splicer will arrive, so search one hive at a time.
 * Picking up loot does not spawn a Splicer, though.
 * Never use fire-based attacks in the room, as it may cause a swarm of bees to come out and attack Jack, smoke or no smoke.
 * Set Cyclone Traps or Proximity Mines across the platform and/or fetch some gas tanks to shoot/throw.


 * Left side of the hive room:
 * Go past the green light and turn left around the hive.
 * Safe: $50 and 3 enzymes (#2-#4). (This does not spawn a Splicer.)
 * Go to the table in the corner with an EVE Hypo: second hive to the right of the Hypo (#5).
 * Return to the platform and finish off the Splicer if it's still alive.
 * Make sure traps are set on both sides of platform.
 * Go to the back of the room, turn right, look right. Pick up Frags from table.
 * Check the hive to the right of the Frags (#6). Go back.


 * Right side of hive room:
 * Go straight out, check the hive behind the one to the left (#7). Return.
 * The player should have seven by now. If one wants to continue looting:
 * Pick up a corpse with TK, use it to short the trap on right.
 * Go on to the back, turn left: hive to right of post (#8). Return.
 * Opposite the previous hive is a FAK on a table. Hive to its left (#9).

Worley Winery

 * Kill them and pick up their corpses to knock down the wires.
 * Alternatively, if one has Natural Camouflage, simply stand still and wait.
 * The Splicers will enter the shack and step into their own Trap Bolts, clearing the way for the player as well as killing them.
 * Continue and stay on the left wall, taking the passageway to the left.
 * Circle the next room picking up a bottle of DW.
 * Note, when in the distillery area, a body with $100 will float under the grating. A splash can be heard when moving near it. Pick it up with TK and loot it.
