Medical Pavilion



"Ladies, don't let a few wrinkles or crow's feet get between you and the man in your dreams. Whatever the flaw, Dr. Steinman has a solution. Come see him at Aesthetic Ideals in the Medical Pavilion..."

- Public Address Announcements

Medical Pavilion is the second level of BioShock, after Welcome to Rapture. Jack will be confronted here by the mad surgeon Dr. Steinman in an attempt to gain access to Neptune's Bounty. It is also here that Jack will acquire ADAM and fight a Big Daddy for the first time.

History
When founded, the Medical Pavilion was the hub for all medical business and inquiries in Rapture, and was responsible for treating all illnesses and health-related problems. As ADAM became widely distributed among the citizens of Rapture, its self-healing abilities practically removed the need for all of the Pavilion's healing facilities. However, due to the instability of ADAM caused by its excessive use amongst many of Rapture's citizens, unforeseen physical mutations began to occur. In response, many hospital facilities quickly became replaced by cosmetic surgery facilities such as Dandy Dental and Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals. The Medical Pavilion is largely intact, with the exception of the dental facilities.

One of the highest ranking doctors was Dr. Steinman, a cosmetic surgeon who was known to be a perfectionist in his work. Dr. Steinman was the head surgeon in the department of Aesthetic Ideals, and believed strongly in the remarkable effects of ADAM. However, as Dr. Steinman began to progress with constant use of ADAM, he began to suffer chronic brain and physical damage. The more deformed he became, the more he pondered on "perfecting" his skills by deforming his patients as well. Out of all the reported cases of his surgical abuse, the most famous was of Diane McClintock, whose face was probably distorted even more after Atlas' attack. Dr. Steinman's growing insanity shows what "splicing" can potentially do to anyone, and how inhumane the prospects of ADAM and Plasmids can truly be.

Dandy Dental
Dandy Dental was an admirable dental facility in the Medical Pavilion built by Frank Fontaine to advertise and promote the Telekinesis Plasmid, with free samples being given out. When Jack arrives there it appears destroyed and derelict with half of the main facility flooded. Unsurprisingly, a large part of Dandy Dental is devoted to simply testing out the Telekinesis Plasmid sample via a makeshift ball launcher.

Painless Dental and Chomper's Dental
These are the two other Dental facilities featured in the Medical Pavilion and, like much of Rapture, are currently in disuse. Chomper's Dental was being used as a safe house by two Splicers at the time of Jack's arrival, and was only accessible by obtaining Telekinesis, the entire facility being flooded to some extent. Chomper's Dental is the second largest medical facility. Painless Dental is guarded by a lone security Turret and is the smallest of the dental facilities. Painless Dental holds a surprise in the form of white mist released by a hiding Dr. Grossman Splicer. On a cabinet in the corner is the Speedy Hacker tonic. When the player walks over to pick it up the mist descends again, clearing to reveal a Dr. Grossman Splicer standing right behind Jack. Painless Dental is largely intact.

Enwell Life and Health Group
This small insurance company provides insurance to those who wish to be financially protected. It is found after leaving the Foyer in the Medical Pavilion.

Eternal Flame Crematorium
The Eternal Flame crematorium is the only facility to cremate the dead of Rapture, placed next to Twilight Fields. It is here that Jack finds the Hacker's Delight tonic and the Incinerate! Plasmid. Picking up Incinerate! prompts Ryan's offer of a bounty (1000 ADAM) for any Splicer who kills Jack. Eternal flame is a small facility bearing only four rooms: administration, furnace room (main), storage and the head office. By activating the furnace control panel Jack can cremate a seemingly long dead body to gain the Hacker's Delight tonic.

Twilight Fields Funeral Homes
The place where the people of Rapture can say a final farewell to loved ones before they are cremated in the Eternal Flame. When Jack arrives for the first time he may see a Splicer crying over an apparently deceased loved one, only to find that nothing but a few items sit in the coffin. There are only two rooms in Twilight Fields, the first possesses a reception area and two curtained off side galleries with coffins, and the second room appears to be a run-down storage facility that has become heavily flooded. In one of the side galleries there is a locked door that must be opened with a code, which can be found on a scrap of paper by the coffin the Splicer was crying over.

Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals
Still run by the insane Dr. Steinman upon Jack's arrival, it is accessible via a tunnel from the main Pavilion reception. Aesthetic Ideals is a massive part of the Medical Pavilion and was used to fix the physical side-effects caused by ADAM, most likely replacing the main hospital facilities. What's left of the Aesthetic Ideals is simply divided into two sections: the Surgery foyer and Surgery. The Surgery foyer is where Jack 'meets' Dr. Steinman for the first time when he is manically thinking out loud: "Why do people have two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears, two breasts?" The foyer is large and open, and was simply a waiting area for the unlucky few who came for Steinman's attentions. It contains a Circus of Values, a Vita-Chamber, and two inaccessible balconies over head from which a Nitro Splicer will rain down grenades. Through the entryway and down a corridor is Surgery, which contains only two accessible rooms. One is abandoned with a bloody saw near an operating bed, and the other, at the very end of the corridor, is occupied by Dr. Steinman and a soon-to-be-dead client. When Jack arrives Dr. Steinman launches into a spiel, regarding his cosmetic crusade as a failure to Aphrodite and revealing three dead clients hanging above him.

 * Wall Safe (Medium+) below Camera contains ammo for all available weapons. (May want to use a Hack Tool.)
 * EVE opposite the safe.
 * Recording in back corner by ammo.
 * Crawl space near the door contains ammo and Wrench Jockey. Buck on cabinet.
 * Splicer awaits Jack's exit from the crawl space. Shooting is simplest.

Center Area Downstairs

 * Shotgun is a trap. Skip it for now.
 * If the player is in need of FAKs, loot two from the corpse.

Dandy Dental

 * No dangers inside. What looks like a Turret is friendly.
 * Audio Diary at the entry.
 * Behind the counter there's some ammo; as well as cash in the register on the counter
 * Safe (Easy) in flooded area holds FAK, EVE and $23.


 * Telekinesis ("TK") Plasmid and recording through the door.
 * One will have to replace a Plasmid with TK to use it. Incinerate! is best, as the player won't be needing it anytime soon.


 * Use the makeshift ball turret to practice Telekinesis.
 * This uses no EVE. Firing by releasing trigger uses a small amount of EVE. It is possible to drop the object to no cost in EVE.


 * Use TK around trophies high up on the beam midway between the the broken Gatherer's Garden machine (where the Telekinesis Plasmid was) and the ball turret, and on the trophies in the cabinet to the right, next to the door, to fetch some cash and Electric Buck.
 * It is possible to take or loot objects one is holding with Telekinesis without having to drop them.


 * EVE is by the trophies on the right.


 * A Splicer enters the far door.
 * Use TK to fetch a trophy, propane tank, or any other moderately sized object and hold it.
 * Aim at the Splicer and release the object. A one-hit kill.


 * If one was maxed out on EVE when one found the last hypo, pick it up with TK.
 * Carry it out the front door to drop it for easy retrieval later.
 * This is the third basic use of TK (Fetch, weapon, carry).


 * Exit Dandy Dental and continue left to...

Painless Dental

 * Door is locked. Crouch and go around the corner to the far wall.
 * Jump up on some crates and go through an open window.
 * MG Turret is on counter on other side of post. Zap-hack it.
 * Behind counter there is some Electric Buck and a cash register.
 * You can unlock the door leading to this room by pressing the button to the right of the locked door.
 * A trail of bandages leads to the next room.
 * Speedy Hacker is on a desk to the right. Warning: As soon as the player approaches the desk and the smoke triggers and fills the room, a Thuggish Splicer will spawn directly behind the player. The Splicer seems to wait until the player turns around to attack, so the items on the desk can be picked at leisure, but be prepared to shoot the moment one turns around.


 * Crawlspace:
 * Fire the Machine Gun at a Splicer through the exit grate.
 * Loot: Automatic Hack Tool, Electric Buck, armor rounds, corpse cash.
 * You can also unlock the door here too to exit back to the main area.


 * Exit Painless Dental and go left to...

Chomper's Dental

 * Look through the window with a corpse on it and use TK to fetch the key.
 * Watch for Splicers inside and zap the water on the floor.
 * A Security Camera is to the far left of the door.
 * EVE behind the counter.
 * Camera on back wall. Probably have to zap it to reach it. Hack it.
 * Safe below camera: Very easy. 2 FAKs, ammo.
 * Electric Buck opposite camera.
 * Exit Chomper's Dental and it's time to go back to the ...

Shotgun Trap in the Center Area

 * When the player picks up the Shotgun, the lights will dim and a wave of Splicers will attack.
 * The beauty of BioShock is that many different strategies will work, although backing into a corner is advised.
 * Save before picking up the Shotgun if one wants to experiment.


 * Here is a simple strategy:
 * Face Painless Dental, pick up the gun, and run to the previously locked door of Painless Dental. You should have unlocked it already by pressing the button next to the door from the inside. The Machine Gun Turret is near the counter and should be hacked and friendly.
 * Crouch behind the counter with Shotgun ready and wait for the Splicers to pour in through the unlocked door.
 * The Turret will soften up the Splicers and you can finish them off with the Shotgun when they get close, or one can help mark enemies for the Turret by standing up behind the counter and sprinkling the Splicers with Machine Gun fire.
 * This method is conservative of ammo, EVE, and FAK even on Hard and Survivor difficulties.


 * Another effective method is to go around the corner of Painless Dental to the crates previously used to climb.
 * Jump on the first one to get out of the water.
 * Each time more Splicers show up, zap the water.
 * Go back in Painless Dental to loot more bodies.
 * Use the many bandages on the floor if needed.


 * Go back to the stairs and under them to the left.
 * In a moment, a Nitro Splicer should appear and throw grenades.
 * Use TK to catch the projectiles and immediately fire back at him.


 * Go back upstairs to...

Dr. Steinman’s Aesthetic Ideals

 * Go through a glass walkway and a big door.
 * Steinman goes through a doorway and blocks it.
 * A Nitro Splicer appears on a balcony.
 * Catch a grenade, turn, fire it at the blockage and run through (you can also take out the Nitro Splicer with this method.)


 * Hallway
 * By wheelchair: recording, cash.
 * Cross to wall opposite to search body.
 * Use TK to fetch another body and a Pistol from the exposed hallway.
 * Step into that hallway, then back up quickly.
 * Steinman calls in a Bot, so be ready to zap-hack the Bot. Having a friendly bot will greatly help in the upcoming boss fight with Steinman as he will be completely distracted by the device and his Machine Gun fire is very ineffective against it.


 * Next Hallway
 * A MG Turret is at the far end of the next hall: zap, run and hack.
 * A hole in the wall halfway back holds EVE, a FAK and Buck.
 * If maxed out on EVE or FAKs, fetch with TK and drop in the hall.
 * Static Discharge is on the floor outside the hole.
 * Go back to Turret and enter door to ...


 * Room to Turret's Right
 * A Security Camera in on the wall in the back.
 * Watch for the red light to start right and run back.
 * Jump over the counter.
 * Hack the camera.
 * Counter contains EVE and ammo.
 * Floor Safe: Medium, ~$40, 2 FAKs, Armor-Piercing Pistol Rounds
 * Audio Diary with Auto Rounds next to it.
 * Make sure to hack the Health Station out here, because Steinman may come out to heal, and hacking it will automatically poison him to death when he uses it.
 * Time to enter ...


 * Dr. Steinman's Lab
 * Buck opposite viewing window, FAK in crate.
 * Watch and wait for Steinman to fire at Jack.
 * Again, many strategies are possible, so save first. Simplest:
 * Run through door on right, around corner right, across flooded area.
 * Jump up on desk in corner and wait.
 * If S comes after the player, zap water 4 times.
 * If S does not follow, go fire some rounds at him and run back.
 * Another strategy is to lure or drive Steinman out to the hallway with the hacked MG Turret and to the side room that has the hacked Security Camera. If Steinman manages to set off both the Turret and the Security Camera, you can simply go back to his lab and collect supplies at your leisure while he is killed for you.
 * Having hacked the bot that Steinman sent for you earlier makes this much easier, as Steinman will try to run away from your bot, and likely head into the hallway with the Turret all by himself. Then while trying to escape the Turret, he'll run into the room with the Security Camera. Then when trying to escape the Security Camera, he'll run back to the Turret, now with two or three bots following him.


 * Safe: 3 FAKs.
 * FAK by safe on desk.
 * FAK on cabinet in operating room. Ammo about.
 * Recording on corpse on operating table.
 * Two Health Stations, each of which could be shot for FAKs.


 * A total of *10* FAKs (counting Health Machines) are available here.
 * After fighting the Big Daddy, run back here to resupply.


 * Hallway Past Turret
 * Splicers attack, drop back to give the Turret firing room, but help out.
 * If one loses a dab of Health, use the bandages in the room to the left.


 * As the player return, one will come to the room with the Nitro Splicer on the balcony, if the player didn't kill him yet.
 * Run through the room.
 * If the player elects to kill him, use TK to fetch his body to loot, get the FAK to the left of the neon "Surgery" sign, and get the Shells from the other balcony.

To Save or Harvest

 * A cut scene will introduce Jack to Little Sisters.
 * One must choose whether to Save or Harvest.
 * BioShock has great replay value, so it is always possible to try different paths.
 * Harvesting gives the player twice as much EVE immediately, but Saving leads to very valuable Plasmids and Tonics, such as Armored Shell 2. Saving every Little Sister is required for obtaining all trophies/achievements.
 * A Gatherer's Garden ("GG") is on the far wall.
 * In a crate to the right are 2 more FAKs (total of 12+ in this section).
 * Ammo is in the other crate.
 * Recording and briefcase with ammo in front of the GG.

Using the Gatherer's Garden

 * Save before using GG in case one changes one's mind.
 * Getting the Health Upgrades makes the BD battles easier.
 * EVE Upgrades are not as significant, but for 20 ADAM, get EVE Link.
 * Armored Shell is also useful. Replace Wrench Jockey.
 * If the player saved, there's not much more to buy; otherwise, get Armored Shell and save the rest.
 * If the player harvested, they may be tempted to get Enrage, but there's no place for it yet.
 * The passageway back to the main area has a crate with the 13th FAK and ammo.

Battling the Big Daddy

 * After returning to the main area, one will have to kill two Splicers before BD-LS will arrive.
 * The game does this to drain the player's health and ammo before a big fight.
 * If they don't greet the player at the door, one will have to go looking for them.


 * After the Splicers are dead and looted, go back to top off one's health if needed.


 * Change one's ammo and Plasmid load out for the fight if needed.


 * Save to allow for experimentation.
 * Electric Buck damages the most at this point, and also stops the BD from attacking. So does the Electro Bolt. Turrets will damage BDs but Security Cameras will not send bots after them.


 * Make sure that the Little Sister is with him.
 * LS will be with him the first time one sees him, but
 * if one takes too long coming back for another attack, she may be gone.
 * If one kills the BD when his LS is gone, one will have to wait for another BD.


 * This BD battle is actually one of the more difficult ones, especially on the harder settings as the player's weapons aren't great.
 * There are six tanks of gas around the level that one can pick up and place wherever one wants using Telekinesis.
 * There are four tanks of gas in Dr Steinman's Surgery, one of them in the water next to the Health Station. There is one in Dandy Dental and another through the crawl space in Painless Dental (use the door button to get it out).
 * Collect them all and drop them next to a corpse.
 * Wait for a BD to appear with a LS. It's better to wait for LS to actually start feeding on a corpse.
 * Shoot at the tanks with a round of Buck. This should kill him.
 * Save after getting the tanks to make sure one gets it right.
 * Five tanks will usually be enough to kill him on the hardest level.


 * Resupply on FAKs if not maxed out.


 * Save the additional ADAM to buy slots at the next stop.


 * The player should be close to the $500 max on cash and max on EVE and FAKs.

Hasty Exit
}}
 * There is little/nothing to gain from fighting,
 * so just run back through the Medical Pavilion to the Emergency Access.
 * Have TK ready for playing catch with a Nitro Splicer.
 * Run upstairs, flip the switch, run back down and leave.
 * A crate next to the Bathysphere has $23 if there's room.
 * Next stop: Neptune's Bounty.
 * width = 100%

Bugs/Glitches

 * The button to open Chomper's Dental is set to spawn a Splicer when pressed after obtaining the door key. As an oversight, the developers did not set it to a first-time-only event. As such, every time the button is pressed (after obtaining the key), it will spawn another Splicer. It is suggested to not press the button more than a few times before killing the spawned Splicers, as the game will begin to lag and freeze if too many AI are active at once. An image of the resulting corpse piles produced during this exploit can be seen here.
 * In the tunnel leading away from the Surgery Foyer, after defeating Steinman, the broken section will project collision for objects dropped into it with Telekinesis. An example of which can be taking Steinman's corpse and dropping it into the broken section, allowing him to fall under the map.
 * The player has the ability to kill Brigid Tenenbaum during their first encounter. To kill her, the player must make sure not to kill the Nitro Splicer just before fighting J.S. Steinman. Once the player is done with him, head out and get the Nitro Splicer's attention. Grab a grenade he throws, and walk out holding it. When the player starts entering the theater room, hold against the left wall. When the player is near the door, look directly into in and move quickly forward. If done correctly, the grenade will hit the Dr. Grossman Splicer, killing him before Tenenbaum can, and break the event. Once the event finishes, the player can shoot and kill her, then pull her body down with Telekinesis to examine it.

Behind the Scenes

 * A large portion of the Medical Pavilion is inaccessible to the player upon their arrival due to damaged and blocked doorways. Some of the medical services which operated in these areas can be seen listed on the notice boards located around the pavilion, these include Corrective Genetics, Dr. S. Finneran's surgery and a Plasmid service.
 * The back wall of Dandy Dental is dominated by a large glass window looking out on the city of Rapture. However, if one were able to move through walls, one would discover that traveling just a few feet out of the window towards the "city" would put the player inside the Medical Pavilion's Reception Hall. Thus, it is a bit odd that there would be a window there at all, much less one that has a completely unobstructed view of the city.
 * If the player acquires Telekinesis before going to Surgery, he or she can use the Plasmid to grab the grenade thrown by Steinman. The sign still falls, but without an explosion. Also, Steinman's grenade cannot be used to destroy the debris.
 * It is possible to complete this level without the Incinerate! Plasmid: once the Nitro Splicer sets a trashcan on fire, hit it until it reaches the ice before it extinguishes, and it will unlock the passage.
 * Most of the Nurses seen are white-and-green dressed Lady Smith Splicers with Nurse hats.
 * Medical Pavilion is the area where the events of the BioShock Launch Trailer occurred.
