Bridge to Comstock House
As soon as you enter run over and pull the switch at the far end of the room. As you do, a scene will play.
DeWitt will have another of his washed out flashback type sequences and you’ll find yourself in another area again. Simply walk up to the door to the right of the desk and interact with it.
After another short scene, run over to the new hole in the wall and look below. There is a freight hook below we can jump to. Hop onto this and then from here leap back down to the platform with the control panel we pulled earlier. You will see that the bridge is now activating so run across to the far side.
Comstock House
When you reach the other end, run up the steps to where the tear is. When it disappears, enter the building and run up to the next tear ahead. Continue through the next door. Climb up the stairs on either side of the large statue and work your way to the door on the far side of the room there is another tear here.
Once the tear vanishes go through the door. As you enter, you will see a couple of new enemies in the room beyond: Mannequins directly in front and a Boy of Silence on the other side of the central partition.
| New Enemy: Boys of Silence |
| The Boys of Silence, like the mannequins are only found in a short section of the game in Comstock House. They can be identified by the large metal helmet on their heads with the large earpieces sticking out on either side. These guys act sort of like the security cameras in Rapture from the first two Bioshock games. They Stand in a specific location and will survey the room around them. You can tell where they are looking by the spotlight that illuminates the area they are investigating. If they look at you, the spotlight will turn yellow and they will assume an action pose. If you are unable to escape his gaze behind cover for a second or two whilst the beam is focused on you and yellow, it will urn red and the Boy of Silence will sound an alarm before teleporting from the room. The alarm will cause all of the enemies in the immediate area to attack you. |
| New Enemy: Mannequin |
| The Mannequins only appear in Comstock house. You will find they look like a partially phased out version of citizens with creepy masks on. They are usually found in large groups of 8-10 guarding a room. They remain relatively still and are passive, even if you walk up and touch them. They will stay like this until you alert a Boy of Silence. When alerted to your presence, they will rush you in a large pack and use melee attacks to damage you. As with the policemen or the cultists they are relatively weak, their danger lies in the large numbers. If you do accidentally alert a pack of them, you should cut large circles around the area to draw them together and drop traps into their midst as you go. Fortunately conflict with these guys can almost always be avoided, as long as you don’t bother the Boys of Silence in the rooms they occupy. |
The next few rooms have a number of Boys of Silence inhabiting them. As mentioned, it is entirely possible to go through the next few sets of rooms, avoiding the Boy of Silence and not having to enter combat at all.
Unfortunately the first room here is the only exception as you are unable to reach the door without being spotted. As such, shoot the boy of silence so he sets off his alarm and mop up the mannequins that come to attack. Once they are all dead, loot the room and use the intercom on the door that the Boy of Silence had been guarding. Enter the lift that appears behind you.
Inside the elevator is another tear and a VOXOPHONE ‘A Leash’ (Voxophone 1/1). Once the tear disappears, hit the button to ride up to the next area.
