shadeblack,

good summing up of the game there. i love it, it is so atmospheric, with some really jumpy bits! sounds great in my soundrocker game chair, must be amazing in surround sound.

Thanks man, yeah i know what you mean about the jumpy bits, but the second time around you know whats gonna happen so it's not as bad.

I've got surround sound and I sit on my sofa in my room.  the surround sound is great! 😀

lucky lol
i got “incredible surround” on my tv but it makes no difference

virtual surroudn isn't too bad… but nothing beats surround sound.

you should save up and get a system! it'll make ALL the difference 🙂

you can only get into sander cohens private quarters if you DONT kill him in FORT FROLIC.

you next meet him in his apartment where two splicers have been forced to dance. you disturb them and he comes down to 'kill' you.  you then kill him, take his keys to the muise box, and his photo for the trophy.  Then go up into his private locked room, and then get the trophy.  there is also a weapon upgrade in there.

just finished this game 100% and got my platinum 😀

OK, I've got ALL the trophies now except for ONE : “Tonic Collector”.

I'm in desperate need of help because I really don't understand how to get this trophy … “Collect or invent 58 Tonics”, I mean c'mon, am I supposed to invent 58 the same tonics ? Since it doesn't say that they all have to be different. And do plasmids count aswell ? Pweaaase help, thanks in advance.

hiya! im here to help you out.

there are 58 tonics in total.  so that trophy is really saying “collect, invent and find ALL tonics!”.  Plasmids, though, are not tonics, so they do not count.

Now im a bit of a freak and often like to check every room and every crack of that rooms until im sure i had found everything. and that's why i got the 58 tonics on my first run… but I can understand that it's very easy to miss at least one!  so all I can say is count all the tonics you have (exclusind plasmis of course) and once you know how many you have, you then now what you're missing!  If you really can't find them, then write down the names of the tonics you have and check an online guide.  since it was previously a 360 game, im positive there will be one already up.

also, make sure you have invented the three tonics from the u-invent range. and also bought all the tonics (not the plasmids) from the galthiers garden using your ADAM.  if you've rescued them all and have been smart on what you were buying, you should have at least 80 ADAM left over even after buying all tonics.  But only if you DIDN'T get all of the plasmids.  I didn't bother getting the cyclone trap, bee swarm or Winter blast because they are not needed! 

Another thing is to make sure you have researched EVERYTHING!  researching gives you a couple tonics here and there (the best one is natural camoflauge). And finally, you need to save ALL of the little sisters to get ALL of the tonics.

if you still don't have them all after that, then you need to go back to each level, check the maps and make sure you haven't missed out any rooms such as the ones that need to have something lit on fire, or struck with lightning.

good luck!

yeh just passin through, new to the site n all, and with the tonics you have to find them and create not buy em, coz i got all 58 tonics and didnt get the tonics trophy then i read it again it didnt say anything about buying them so i googled 'bioshock tonic locations' and there you go, a list of 44 tonics you can find and somewhere else is a list of the ones you gotta create

Okay so I did my homework and figured out that I had enough ADAM on my previous savegame so I got all the from the U-invent & ADAM store thingy. Aaaand after writing all the damn things down I figured out that …

… I'm missing ONE damn f*cking tonic, I got 57 !! GAHHHH !!!

Back to my homework, gonna do some more research and figure out which one I'm missing, I'm sooooooooo close to my 3rd platinum, just one damn more tonic gahhhh
