Murder of Crows





Murder of Crows is the name of a Vigor in BioShock Infinite that gives control over groups of crows. It was created in the city of Columbia.

Gameplay Demo
Booker DeWitt finds this ability next to the corpse of Charles. When used, a blood-spattered crow with a piece of meat in its beak latches itself onto his arm. It is used shortly after the sky-line sequence in a bar where Booker takes refuge in from Saltonstall.

In the E3 2011 demo, Booker is seen picking it up by a corpse of a destroyed statue. It is later used to escape the Vox poulli by distracting them long enough so Booker could get on the Sky-line.
