Use Return to Sender mines and place them around the core. Then, save your Songbird summons for when patriots come, or the turret ships. Zeppelins are no trouble to take down by yourself (use the hooks to get to them).

I will grant that this is true (I just rewatched that scene) but why is it that Booker keeps waking up in totally different places? It is the same as when he dies in-game. He never respawns to where you just died, he respawns to a different moment and a different place (in this case, the knee high water that i was remembering).
Because it can't handle water...his eye cracks. It was foreshadowing the ending.
They make a point out of this..
I think it's specific to water, otherwise the air pressure alone would do a number on it.
Sorry if I speak out of turn, but a couple questions... is there significance to Booker helping Elizabeth into the pipes to kill Fitzroy? Is it nothing but a nod to the Big Daddy/Little Sister dynamic?
And also, when was Shiny Happy People played?
Also, is some of the alternative timeline and choices being shown to us at the end of the game... with infinite possibilities and locations... is that a nod to game replayability with choice based themes, or is it possibly referring to so many different people playing a game differently than others so that in a stretch, my Elizabeth and DeWitt is different than your Elizabeth and DeWitt? I want to get a message like that of the first game: that there ultimately was no choice to the player of a game, versus this one: infinite choices.
Also, why did it appear that the people in Comstock House were phasing in and out of reality?

Maybe Vampire, charge, shock fist or some combination that gives you health for melee kills.
Wait. I can't even remember what the last battle is.
The bolded is my belief.
The higher up you are, the lower the pressure.

So what does everyone think happens to the Lutece twins after the story? Are they still together or seperated into their respective timelines?
Lay lots of traps and try to engage enemies at the bow. If you kill them before they can reach the generator it'll make things go smoother.

Well if Columbia is never created I'd imagine that is saying that they never built (and thusly died) in their tear machine. I also think they are both brilliant and probably ended up building the machine with or without the existence of Columbia so I'll say they still end up together.
The water could simply be his lifeless carcass floating. And I think it's reasonable to that the other times is that we are playing a video game and we need to respawn in a safe place. As much as we want to bring clarity and reasoning to it I think its possible its just a gameplay element.
Levine goes out of his way to explain dying and respawning in both Bioshock 1 and Infinite, I doubt we can just chalk it up to simple gameplay elements.
In my defense, I am a dumbass.
Haha no you're not. When I first read what you said, I thought I was retarded took me a second to rationalize it back
Let's be honest:
It's mostly just a game mechanic.
They don't want you to respawn in a location where you may be surrounded by enemies and instantly killed again.
I think it's very admirable that they worked in a story explanation for the respawning mechanic, but be careful not to read to much into it.
It's the new Booker getting close to the same area where the last failed Booker left off. That's not even looking that deep, that is exactly what they intended.
Yeah, it's exactly what they intended: game mechanic wise. It's pretty clear from the last couple of games that Ken Levine doesn't believe in punishing the player to heavily for death.
I'm fairly certain the mechanic came first, and then the explanation came second. It's a good explanation, I really like it. But I'm not going to let myself be carried away by it.
Well what did he say about where we respawn when we die in the game? Is there really a reason for it?
Ok that's cool.
See above
And I will let myself get carried away by it. He set it as a rule in his universe.
can anyone please point out what I'm supposed to be hearing at the fitzpatrick video please?
oh shit
But joining mechanics and story is part of what this is all about. Stuff that are only gaming mechanics (like healing bulletshots by eating enough bananas) are not touched upon.
This is, so it matters like any other piece of Lore.
Yeah I never noticed the reference to Bid Daddy helping a Little Sister into the pipe thing. But I don't see how it isn't one now that its been pointed out.
I am enjoying the game even more the second time through. Even the smallest things are more interesting, like when the twins ask Booker to flip the coin and its always heads. And one of them makes a comment about how next time it will be the same too.

Fair enough, I don't agree (about the opening baptism = death) but everyone can believe as they wish. I think our discussion probably ends here.
I found the elevator ride I was looking for: It's after the first battle in the chapter titled, "Worker Induction Center."
Took some screens, although it's impossible to capture Liz's various expressions in stills, so I stuck mostly to scenery.
IT'S FINK-TASTIC.

You didn't take a picture of DAT HANDCANNON, massive failure, Neiteio
yea, it felt like they cut stuff out or maybe the DLC will expand upon it. The Vox Populi angle was somewhat of a waste.
Booker = Songbirds confirmed.
haha, yes!
That's what I was thinking too.
No, very little of what she does is justified.

That would be tits.
If their Wounded Knee happened the same year as ours, female Lutece was able to suspend an atom in mid-air before it ever happened. That's more than enough to score some sweet grants from a rich steel magnate or whatever. They were well on their way to building tears before the baptism and primary branch that drove the entire plot.
Yeah, let's not even go there.

So maybe they broke the 4th wall and the reason she warped you to Rapture, is because she can see into all the doors now, and she can see that you... the player has already visited Rapture! A giant city under water. So she knew that water hurt songbird.... man love endings like these
