What is the easiest way to kill a big daddy or rosie in BioShock?

Answer 1

First Make sure you have 9 health packs! What I usually do to beat them is use the exploding Buck shot (shotgun), incendiary bolts (Crossbow), and RPGs grenade launcher) I found them to work best but the key is to KEEP MOVING never hold still

What i do isuse the trap bolts.

its a little late in the game, but trap bolts( around 4-5 of them) will take down any big daddy easily.

best thing to do before you get the crossbow is to take pictures of them with the camera after you get it 1/3 of the way through the game during Farmer's [something]. then when you get the cross bow and trap bolts, set up around 4-5 in front of the big daddy or down a hall way you can coax him through.

best way to set up these bolts are to look stand perpendicular across from the target wall, shoot, side step, and repeat.

Tiesonthewall:If you are playing on the hard difficulty setting I advise you have a plan of action. Make sure you have as much possible research of that particular Big Daddy (Rosie or Bouncer) as well as full ammunition, Health, and Eve.

• Give yourself enough space between yourself and the Big Daddy.
• Set up both Proximity Mines as well as Trap Bolts.
• Shoot him from a distance when both are set to get his attention. If the Big Daddy is an Elite he may not rush you however he will try to be within view to try and shoot you. So moving where he can't see you is a good idea because he will move to compensate.
• If the Big Daddy is still not dead through all of the traps, move in close and use Electric Gel. It is definitely your best bet because it causes him to become immobile and for you to just load him up with it.
• If one round of it doesn't finish him off switch to either Electric Buck or Exploding Buck to finish the job.

Things to Remember:

• Anything electric will immobilize him and give you the chance to kill.
• Make sure all weapons are fully loaded and the correct ammunition is loaded BEFORE attacking him. Death is very easy to come by if small errors are made.
• First Aid Kits and Eve Hypos are plentiful and a Health Station is nearby and Hacked.
• Health and Eve should both be full before the start of the onslaught

An Easier Route To Come By:

• Obtain the Plasmid "Hypnotize Big Daddy." (Either level 1 or 2 will work.)
• Hypnotize a Big Daddy.
• Have him follow you around until you come across another Big Daddy.
• Anger the Opposing Big Daddy.
• Watch both Big Daddies duke it out until one procedes to die.
• NOTE: If your Big Daddy's Health is slightly lower than the opposing Big Daddy prepare to fight to the death. Big Daddies are VERY Dangerous and will kill to protect the Little Sisters as well as Themselves.
• Have fun hunting.
• =D
• For Your Health!

Just freeze them then load up on minigun ammo and have fun huntin.hope it works 4 u too...u should probaly have already bought it a while ago before you read this and if you haven't your either poor in the game or your a freakin noob XD

Answer 2

i found this to be the easiest way:

Make sure you have the invisble plasmid and the crossbow gun. next, make sure you upgrade it with the electric bolts. find a narrow passage way where this is only one way in and out (hallways work well too) next set up the electric lines with the gun, making sure to leave enough space for you to crouch under. next find a big daddy and either stun him with the swarm or freezing plasmid. next, while he's stun, run back to the area with the lines you set up (if its looks like he's gonna catch u before you get there, get a good distance and hide and remain still so your invisible plasmid can kick in, then repeat the above process) once he's in the room, get on the other side of the wires and he'll rush recklessy into them, killing it self. another way is to use incindenary shotgun shells.

Answer 3

If you have all weapons fire one of trip mine things (Grenade launcher) on to a red barrel and use telekinesis on it and throw it will nearly kill it then just finish it off with armour bullets and chemical thrwer. but if you don't have these try and find somthing explosive wait till a big daddy walks past then spray him with some bullets
