Damage dealt by the Machine Gun is very low, and the critical multiplier
isrit very high, so don't waste your bullets aiming for headshots. Target the center of mass on enemies to compensare for the Machine Gunk spread and ensure that all shots fired hit your target.

purchase additional Salt Phials from a

Human foes react to Possession differently. The effect wears offover time (its effect fades much faster on tougher enemies), but human enemies kill themselves
as
the effect fades. This makes it possible to eliminate a couple of foes by simply casring
Possession at each one of them. As the effect shifts
from one adversary to the other, the enemy no ionger under the Vigor's trance
will kill himseif with his weapon. This is especially helpful when you're low on ammo, provided you have enough Salt to employ this expensive Vigor.

This is also a good time to check your Gear to ensure you're taking advanta$e of thbse items that do not have anything to do with Sky-Lines, at least for the time being.
Fink wants to
see
you perform in the art of combat, and he's prepped the Good Time Club for a three-wave battle.
Several Salts Phiais and weapons have been scattered around the club, and there are three Tears available
for your use: Medical Kits, an RPG, and a Volley Gun. Those lucky enough to have the Sheltered Life
item equipped should immediately open the Tear for the Medical Kits. Sheltered Life gives Booker brief invulnerabiiity wheaever he consumes food or Medical Kits, making the Medical Kits Tear particularly useful item to have handy.

REPEL THE AIRBORNE ASSAULT The flight to the Hand of the Prophet won't be as uneventful as Booker was hoping. Another gunship soon deploys from the zeppelin and is due inbound any moment, as are several others after it. A number of Vox barges eventually join these police barges, as
well.

Each ship has a coupie of freight hooks that make leaping back and forth relatively safe and easy. Each gunship typically has four enemy passengers, three of which are often hear,y soldiers with Machine Guns. The single best way to take them out (and unlock
the "Bon Voyage" bonus) is to leap to the freight hook, perform a Slg-Line Strike on a nearby adversary to safely dismount the hook, then knock the crew off the ship with Undertow. Undertow, especially
if
upgraded, can knock all three or four foes
overboard with a single use. Clear the deck of enemies, then leap back to your ship and deal with the Mosquitos that attack between the waves of enemy gunships. Check each gunship for Salts before disembarking.
Continue to do this until you have repelled all four barges, including the rwo Vox gunships. Return to your original police barge, where Elizabeth awaits, and prepare to dock with the Hand of the Prophet.
Always use lhe fre;ght hooks

A loaded Shotgun and ihe Undeftov'/ Vigor are all you need i0 clear the llher ships.

Continue to use Undertow to knock any enemy units right off the zeppelin, and step out toward the le{ihand side of the ship and take aim at (or cast Possession) the Gun Automaton in the distance. Theres a Gun A1tom41onl'on each side in identical positions and two more at the other end, near the controls.

to knock out each of the Gun Automatons

Contlnue to the front of the hangar bay where
a
total of four Gun Automarons are located, rwo on the outer walkway and rwo
on the inner. Use Shock Jockey and the Hand Cannon or Shotgun to take them out with a potent one-rwo combo attack!
The curving walkway leads to
a safer
overlook if you need it, but you should be able to have Booker walk up to the controls and
pull the lever to clear the Sky-Lines. This first Sky-Line
clears quickly.

The center of the main deck has a series of locked rooms, several
ofthem
sealed shut
with airiock doors beneath
ominous red lights. Start at the south end of the ship and have Elizabeth pick the lock on the door beneath the "secure Area' sign (and anorher nexr ro an "Engineering" sign). Make your way through the interior rooms ro ftnd

Climb the stairs and press the button to clear the main decks Sky-Lines. The pods drop very slowly this time around, allowing for a pair of Vox warships to approach near each wing. Youre going to have to hold them offwhile the Patriot Pods are deployed. Make your way toward one of the wings where the Vox are boarding, and hit them with your Volley Gun or RPG and a blast

The Hand of the Prophet
The Prophet is dying. The metastasis has aged him so quickly. Why does this Comstock decay, whlle a
Comstock in another world remains fit? if genetics are destiny, what accounts for the difference? Perhaps exposure to the contraption? Hm. It merits

Vox Populi.

battle atop the deck of the ship. These enemies ignore you for
the Scnnbird aitack
the most part, as their main purpose is to march across the deck and open fire on the energy core beneath the bridge. The meter in the upper right-hand corner ofthe screen alerts you to
how much durability the zeppelin stili has. Defending the zeppelin is too hard for one person to do alone; not even Booker can do it. Fortunately, you have the Songbird.
You'll be able to command the Songbird to attack any of the red targeting circles that appear. These targets appear on Vox gunships, at different areas of the zeppelint deck, and eventually on rhe enemy zeppelins. Keep in mind that the Songbird has
to regaia its strength after each attack. The larger the target you assign it, the longer it takes to recover and be ready for another strike. Both Elizabeth and the on-screen Songbird Meter keep you apprised of the Songbirdt status. There are several Tears available on the deck, including those for Medical Kits, which you'll need. Equip Gear that boosts your capabilities while using Slq'-Lines and that adds extra damage to your explosive weapons. It's aiso worth equipping at least one piece of Gear that offers remporary
invincibiliry whether from leaping off a Sky-Line or by eating a consumable.
The key to successfully defending the Hand of the Prophet is to be in constant motion firing the Volley Gun
or RPG at groups of enemies, using Sky-Line Strikes and Undertow to
knock them off the ship, and making efficient use ofthe Songbird.

Enemy zeppelins, Vox Beasts, and Motorized Patriots pose the largest threat to the Hand of the Prophet. Dont be afraid
to hit the Motorized Patriots with Sky-Line Strikes and attacks
from Vigors. Once you engage one of the Motorized Patriots
in battle, try to either
cast Possession on the other one
(they almost always attack in pairs), or (at the least) focus your
attention on that one.

This is a lengthy, difEcult battle to survive on your first try, but stick with it. Use the Sky-Lines to move about the deck quickiy, and try to kill as many of the Vox
as
you can the moment they board the zeppelin-do not allow them to make their way all the
way to the energy corel Use the brief breaks between gunships to grab a Medical
Kit or

Salt Phials near the controls behind the energy core), and stay on the move. Switch to the RPG on the crare near the energy core
if you run out of ammo for the Volley Gun, but

and weapons from enemy corpses.
