Question: Is killing the Big Daddy the only way to be able to save the little sisters?

I just wanted to ask. I heard someone saying if you just killed the Big Daddies then you were doing something wrong. Is there another way to be able to save the little sisters?

By the way, for your first big daddy fight I reccomend using the gas cylinders and barrels around the level.

Big Daddy's aren't Hostile until you attack them so you can set up a trap with the explosives and shoot them from a distance.

If the bullets DON'T hit the big daddy and only cause an explosion the big daddy will NOT become hostile. (That is If he survived.)

I've already killed 4 or so Big Daddies. I just use the shotgun. Easy enough for me.

The first daddy I killed was on shotgun and locking it up on the stairs ... somehow. Playing on hard difficulty.

But only to realise its lil sister was not always with him and it happened that time I triggered the fight when she was turning adams in her hole... hehehe

The second kill (considering kills after I decided not to use vita chambes!), still the bumper one, was by running around the little "garden" square next to the place it first spawns (near the door that unlocks to the main hall after you kill the doctor (forgot the name, the main "boss" of the medical station map).

Nevertheless, the 'gather/rescue' options to the little sisters are only available when she's crying by the big daddy -or- in the special occasion in the first encounter where Tenenbaum persuades the player into rescuing, intead of sucking the little sister dead. So, it will either require special/custom game mechanics (like the first time) or killing the follower bigdaddy in order to make little sister's 'gather/rescue' available. :)

One interesting way to get two little sisters in one is be lucky like me: second map, found a flanking spot high and behind crates, then hit the passing by daddy. His shot made it to me by the very few, but it was hard and wasting to complete... Until a second daddy shown up.

It turned out one could hit the other while struggling for me and they didn't get along very well. A fight among themselves broke out, only finishing when the weaker fell. And all I had to do was finish the second, bleeding one, and then rescule the two now orphan little sisters! :)

That was amazingly unexpected. But only possible if you have two daddies with sisters around. The second to join scene was 'aggroed' without me hitting them, so kind of a bug in the game: they kind of belong to the same faction, hit one the swarm goes for you. But it just happened the swarm could sting themselves. :)

I didn't try yet to persuade one big daddy to fight each other. Worst case I can ensure two daddies are close by before I start the fight so they can beat themselves. Downside is when we persuade one, lil sister runs ahole to her shelter.

Alright, I almost written a book here... wonder if anyone will read at all... lol

By the way I found it easiest to kill daddies by freezing them with the liquid nitrogen (waste a full load -- or half so that it stays frozen time enough) and then close by shotgun rams the fast the better. If the ice goes out, the process must be restarted awhole as it does not deduce from the monster's health. Drawback is no money loot from bigdaddy.

The Only Way You Can Get To A Little Sister Is By Killing It's Big Daddy

However Not All Big Daddy's Have A Sister With Them, It's Not Bad To Kill A Sisterless Big Daddy However It Can Be A Waste Of Time/Effort And A Waste Of Ammo/Eve. Keep In Mind Though Big Daddy's Have Good Amounts Of Cash On Them

Hope This Helps. Feel Free To Ask Anything Else

Why would you write every word with a capital letter? This was painful to read XD
