The Lighthouse

The lighthouse is a lighthouse tower located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and is the first explorable area in Bioshock.

The player first explores this area following the plane crash. Upon entering the lighthouse, lights come to life as he/she nears them, lighting up a statue of Andrew Ryan bearing a banner entitled with the phrase "No gods or kings, only man ".

Down the stairs following the statue leads the player to the Bathysphere which transports them to Rapture.
