Farmer's Market

There's an Enzyme Sample on the corpse just outside the bulkhead here, so grab it, then move to the main market area and hack the RPG turret to your right. It'll be a helpful ally here, especially if you can lure a Big Daddy towards it when you want to grab some Adam from the Sisters.

Check this little area before heading through the door to Worley Winery and Silverwing Apiary. You can find an EVE Link 2 tonic on the ground at the bottom of the steps below the RPG launcher. In the basement of the market, you can also find a Distilled Water element, as well as a hackable door that'll lead you to plenty of invent items.

If you look around in the market stalls, you'll find a machinegun turret. The fallen beam next to it leads up to a crawlspace with a few proximity mines in it, as well as two Autohack devices.

Silverwing Apiary

When you're ready to move on, head through the doors leading to the Winery and the Apiary. There's another Distilled Water by the door here. Go into the Silverwing Apiary. You'll be attacked by bees when you head through the doors, and there doesn't seem to be a great way to get them off of you--yet. Run away from them and you'll minimize the damage that they deal until they wind up fading away.

These bees will be a serious annoyance to you, but it'll also hurt your enemies.

Anyway, the main room here is in the rear: the smoke room. You can activate the smoke here by flipping one of the two switches behind the glass. That will force all of the bees to retreat into their hives and prevent them from damaging you. Unfortunately, when you search any hives, you'll spawn a few Splicers that will come at you from the doorway, making it somewhat difficult to get your searching done before the smoke wears off. You can leave a proximity grenade by the door before searching the hives, if you wish, or set the oil slick here on fire and try to lure your opponents through it.

Regardless, you need to find six more Enzyme Samples to complement the one you found at the beginning of the level here. The process involves flipping the smoker switch, rapidly running around and checking as many beehives as you can for the enzymes, then switching to your offensive weaponry and blasting the Splicers before repeating the process. (If you have wrench powerups, most of the enemies can easily be defeated with it.) There's a Circus of Values shop in the apiary, which will let you buy health packs and EVE packs if you hack it. Might want to do so, as you'll be churning through some health as you search for the enzymes. There should indeed be at least six enzymes in the area, so nab them all and look through every nook and cranny for beehives. If you can't get to seven enzymes, then be sure you hit every beehive, and be sure that you picked up the enzyme near the beginning of the level; they're not found anywhere but this spot and back there.

Worley Winery

Hack the health dispenser and security camera here, as well as the turret, if you like. There's another Distilled Water on the floor near the camera, so nab it. There's also two more of them inside the safe between the camera and the turret, so hack it to open it up. There's plenty more waters scattered around the winery, so finding more shouldn't be hard.

Before you leave, though, explore a bit: there's another Power to the People machine in the flooded section of the bottom floor of the winery. There's also a Photographer's Eye tonic in a little shack down there, but be careful: heading towards it will trigger a trap involving tripwires and multiple splicers. You can head off the trap at the pass by hypnotizing a Rosie before heading into the shack.

Return to the Hills

When you have enough Chlorophyll, Distilled Water, and Enzymes to make your Lazarus Vector, do so at any U-Invent machine and start heading back to the Rolling Hills. Pass through the bulkhead to Arcadia, obviously, on your way. When you pass through, Ryan will trip an alarm that will send multiple security bots your way. The electrical chemical thrower ammo will cut them down rapidly, but you'll probably want to just run towards a bot shutdown station to end the alert.

Holding Them Off

Before you enter the labs, you may want to use a U-Invent machine or an ammo machine to pick up some anti-personnel ammo. Just a tip.

When you get back to the labs, head up to the office and insert the Lazarus Vector into the misting machine. That will start the process of regenerating the biosphere down here. However, Ryan will also have a present for you: he's sending a huge number of splicers your way. If you want to have any hope of living, you'll need to seal the main doors and kill off a number of waves of enemies. Head back to the main door of the lab and flip the switch there: you can also grab some items from Atlas in the Pneumo Tube.

With any luck, you'll have obtained the Hypnotize Big Daddy plasmid and will have a Big Daddy roaming the labs. If you've done that, then you might have an easier time of fighting here than you might expect. There's no way around a fight, but if you can hypnotize a Big Daddy to help you out, then you'll hopefully be able to use their powers to rid you of most of your foes. Otherwise, you'll just have to take them down the hard way.

There'll be plenty of fighting here, so try to stay alive.

You're going to face three waves of splicers of various sorts. There isn't much to say here about combat tactics, since they'll be coming so quickly and in such numbers. If you've upgraded your machinegun firing power and have plenty of anti-personnel ammo for it, it'll likely be your best bet here; otherwise, you can try using the chemical thrower's freezing or burning ammo to get the enemies off your backs for a bit. There is both a healing station (which you should hack) and a Circus of Values, which you should likewise hack. If you run low on health, either use the healing station or buy more first aid kits.

As enemies come, shoot them or lure them into the oil slick near the stairs leading up to the lab, or use any other plasmids you have as you think will be effective. Search the bodies as they fall, time permitting, since they'll disappear rather quickly here. One thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to upset any Big Daddies in the area, assuming one is roaming around. If you happen to hit one with stray gunfire, it'll turn on you, and that'll probably be more than you can handle, if it's firing on you in addition to the Splicers.

Anyway: survive. Use as much ammo as you need to, and be ready for a tough third wave here. When the third wave hits, you will want to use up any remaining proximity mines that you have to cover your back, then wait for the door leading up to the office to open up. That will let you head back up to the office and flip the switch to disperse the Lazarus Vector, thus returning all the trees to life.
