Big Daddy

[ReivaX]

Hi,

Just picked up the game on HB a few days ago, i'm finally giving it a go today. It looks great so far, there's just one question. How can I can kill the bid daddies easier? I got the one on the medical center after running, shooting it, dying and going back... I'm at the next station/level Neptune and there's one there. It seems my powers aren't doing anything, i tried leading him to a water pool but he just stops before entering it and shoot me from afar. Sometimes he drops some sort of mine and i can't even pick them up with my telekinesis... Is the only way to kill them is to electocute them for a few seconds and shooting at them?

I'm playing on hard difficulty.

Also i harvested one of the little girl, and saved one inside the medical center, without spoiling too much of the story which decision would you advise me towards them? harvest? Free them? harvest half to lvl up faster and free the other half?

Thanks

Kite and shoot, you actually get more if you save the Little Sisters.

Once you get the crossbow use the eletric trap thing in a row don't know how many. after that shoot the bigdaddy and hopefully he will be takenout by those traps that are in front of you. I have only played on normal not hard mode so i won't know if it will be effective or not

who.re grenades at him when you pick up that weapon. i would also stun him with electricity or ice.

Use armor piercing rounds, electricity doesn't do much unless you really get them into a water puddle. The stun effect of lightning disappears when he takes damage.
Later you can use the "Big Daddy bomb" (place many proximity mines on a trash can and throw it with telekinesis)
Always hack all security in an area before you fight him.
I also used the electric trap tactic like Dufinstien.

Harvesting Little Sisters gives more ADAM, saving them gives less but for every three you save you get a reward containing some aditional ADAM and unique Plasmids and Tonics.
Harvesting 3 gives 480 ADAM, saving 3 gives 240 + 200 as reward + 2 other things as reward (often a Plasmid or a Tonic, rare ammo, EVE hypos, first aid kits)
Since you have dealt with them in both ways already you will get the neutral end regardless.
There are 21 in the game. so if you want the rewards save 17 and harvest 2 since you won't receive the last reward anyway.

Killing them gets easier and easier as the game progresses, but early on just make sure your constantly moving, and set traps before the fight. I found early on, your best bet is to use incinerate and electric buck.

Thanks for the advises, i'm getting better at killing them, what i do is burn them use my grenades and when i run out of it i just shoot them with the improved tommy gun with armor piercing bullets
