Dionysus Park



Dionysus Park is the name of the sixth level in BioShock 2. It was to be Sofia Lamb's private retreat, hosting art and culture. The player is required to pass through to get to Fontaine Futuristics and Eleanor Lamb. Stanley Poole, however, requires the player to get rid of all little sisters in the level before allowing Subject Delta access onwards.

History
Dionysus Park was previously private property of Sofia Lamb to act as a living example of her ideals. However, because it so greatly clashed with the ideals of Rapture, it quickly brought the attention of Andrew Ryan. He had Stanley Poole infiltrate her group to gather evidence, with the end result being Sofia Lamb's arrest and imprisonment. Afterwards, the park fell into the hands of Stanley Poole. He then embezzled the park's wealth to throw lavish parties and increase his personal standing. When Lamb escaped from prison, Poole damaged several pumps flooding the entire park and killing anyone who could admit to his treachery. Subject Delta must flood Siren Alley in order to drain and get to this section. Here is also where Stanley tells Delta that because Dionysus Park has been drained, that the Little Sisters have started to roam the area. He asks Delta to get rid of the Little Sisters his way. With the help of Eleanor, she shows Delta what Stanley wanted to hide from Sofia Lamb with the memories the Little Sisters obtained. The area has suffered heavy water damage and coral and other ocean life has grown all over the park. In addition, most of the machines are badly rusted.

Triton Cinema
A large cinema in the south section of Dionysus Park. It seats 240 people.

Imago Fine Arts
This gallery was once used to display paintings and other cultural work. Sometime in it's history, it's temperature control broke and the place froze, sealing the entrance. Upon using Incinerate! on the frozen blockage, one will find a large amount of security guarding the area. Why there is so much security within this area is unknown. As harvesting by the Little Sisters is required in this level, and there's is a ADAM corpse near the back of the gallery, this area proves quite useful for the player if they should hack all the security.
