The trick for lady comstock is to find the spot where the enemies don't have interest to go, and where she doesn't go too, in the 1st is behind her mausoleum, the 2nd is inside the safe, the 3rd is the corner where the vending machines are

[@Budd631]

Just put down fire traps all over her spawn point. Insta kill

[@michaelzhang7098]

That’s my problem with the bosses in this game, they are all bullet sponges and it’s annoying as all hell since they take so much to kill.

[@steve_broxi]

@@Budd631 not everyone has maxed out fire vigors and maxed out salts

[@MeTaLMoNkEyLeYrOy]

@@steve_broxi I missed quite a few vigors in my second playthrough . I finished with 6 health , 10 shield and 8 Salts on 1999 mode . I maxed out return to sender and fire although didn’t have enough money for possession , which would have came in massively useful for the rockets in the final level . Fortunately my blood to salts gear bailed me out there .

I use to hate seeing these videos now I love them

[@zoetic1112]

I had a lot of trouble with the Lady Comstock fights and was actually the only thing in 1999 mode that was difficult in my opinion but I also didn’t know this until I kept dying over and over to her that I found out a trick that makes fighting her really easy. Charge aid with tonics that improve melee/do things when you are hit take her down QUICK like less than ten seconds quick. Hopefully this comment helps someone and if you haven’t gotten the platinum yet good luck!

[@FreakinSweet1987]

Awesome video, sir. You've earned a subscriber. I got all the Achievements on my 360 version of Infinite the first week or two it was out. Same for the original BioShock, but sadly the multiplayer ones in 2 alluded me. Luckily the recently remastered collection on PS4 has been keeping me busy. I got my Platinums for 1 and 2, so now to tackle Infinite in a single go and see if I still have the knack. Wish me luck.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thanks for the sub :) I recently got the collection myself, no MP trophies, yay! Best of luck platinuming Infinite.

[@FreakinSweet1987]

Adam McDermott Much obliged! I got the Platinum for all 3 about a week after the collection released. What a ride that was! Up to about 46 Plats now once I finish Final Fantasy XV.

[@afibuffygirl]

Even though this video is 7 years old, I'm still loving it! Would love to see you do trophy videos for metal gear solid 5,metal gear solid peace walker, resident evil 3 remake, resident evil 7 and 8, and tomb raider reboot franchise! Keep up the amazing work!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Honoured you are still watching all these years later. MGSV and Peace Walker, nope. Tomb Raider, nope. RE3, 7 and 8, yep. I do one RE game per year, this year is RE3.

[@comicbookdude]

Hey Adam, I waited for ages to watch your Bioshock video cos I wanted to plat it myself and not ruin the story for myself (and I commented on that video to say that!) and now I’ve waited till I just platted Bioshock Infinite (just now, did 1999 mode, one run!) to watch this one! Seriously man you need more subs, I absolutely love watching you play. Thanks so much for the videos, you genuinely are a great lad. From one Irish gal to an Irish lad - thank you!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Hey, congratulation on the platinum. Definitely a good idea to not watch this video before then. I'm delighted to hear you enjoy my videos so much. Nice to meet a fellow Irish person.

[@garr3ttguy644]

I just got this platinum today, other than 1999 it was decently easy, took me about a week or so

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thanks. Best of luck!

[@sarcasm2182]

Got all the achievements including the dlc ones on pc and jesus was it tough the challenges of the first dlc are a pain in the ass

[@zoetic1112]

I also really struggled with the final fight on normal mode but passed it my first time on 1999 and only died once during the fight. It kinda seemed easier oddly enough

[@JAYDOG1337A]

This game was definitely the easiest to Platinum, even 2099 mode isn't that hard if you bring the right weapons, I brought the Hand Cannon and Sniper with me at all times, thanks to elizabeth you never really have to worry about ammo unless you're a terrible shot.

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

The Clash in the Clouds DLC made this platinum a LOT more difficult.

[@nemesisencounter2060]

@@CidGuerreiro1234 not necessary for the platinum

[@jimjones775]

Nah this one had some challenging parts and a lot of collectibles. Bioshock 2 was such a bloody joke. I got enough collectibles on my first run so I only needed weapon upgrades. Also I did my first run on hard so i did it on easy and never died at all.

[@AdamMcDermott]

This was a long time ago, buddy. I'm afraid I don't remember.

[@jake.klusewitz]

I really like these videos, especially as I prepare to platinum these games myself. I know this video’s several years old, but keep up the good work! 😅 PS - Is that wardrobe in the background from IKEA? Looks identical to ours… 🤣

[@AdamMcDermott]

Cheers. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. The wardrobe might be, haha. Can't remember.

[@jenso8299]

Got my platinum last week. I would still be playing, if it wasn't for the gear named Winter Shield :) Great video btw. Infinite is growing on me. I hated it when it was initially released. But playing it on ps4 and knowing more about the game made it enjoyable.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Congrats! Thanks. Yeah, Infinite grew on me too.

[@MeTaLMoNkEyLeYrOy]

Love this game and also your videos Adam . I’m ashamed to say for 1999 mode I did use a Return to sender bubble wrapping strategy on the generator though 😂. In my defence it allowed me time to go and take down the zeppelins myself . Whereby one includes a patriot which gave me a bit of a shock lol , full upgrading return to sender which includes ‘ send for less ‘as well as the ‘blood for salts ‘ gear helped a lot though.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Thank you. That's okay, play however you want!

It's pretty darn tough alright.

[@sygyl]

i love this game so i’m gonna try to make it my first platinum. all i really have to do is the scavenger hunt and kill enemies in certain ways because in my first easy play through i basically tried to do everything i could on that difficulty. it’s gonna take awhile but this video sure did motivate me.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Best of luck on the platinum. Let me know how it goes :)

[@sygyl]

Adam McDermott damn really surprises you commented on a 3 year old video! thanks for the good luck i’ll certainly need it

[@pedroyodice3675]

Hey Adam! I'm planning on getting the platinum for this game. Is 1999 mode that hard? Like COD's veteran hard or much more? Love the series!

[@AdamMcDermott]

1999 mode is far easier than Modern Warfare's veteran mode. Can't speak for other Call of Duty veteran modes as I haven't played them. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hey mate, how hard is the 1999 mode got most of the trophies expect that done, is it true that if u cant pay 100€ when u die u start at the very start?

[@AdamMcDermott]

It is challenging but far from impossible. Yes, you have to start again if you don't have $100, or you could just reload a previous save. I'm not an expert at the game and I managed to beat it. You'll be fine.

[@DJdublin100]

Adam McDermott just beat it there the other day good video, I wouldn’t have went for the plat if it wasnt for it 👍

[@AdamMcDermott]

@@DJdublin100 Wahey, congratulations!

[@silbrk]

Idk why but i still didn't finish the game and still like to watch videos about it

[@Socomstitch]

Oh my damn dude. I did it the hard way with Comstock ghost by ducking and running while shooting her and ignoring the soldiers. Thanks for this better tactic as I'll use it on the Steam and PS4 version :D

[@AdamMcDermott]

No worries. Happy to help. Best of luck to you.

[@Lionsboy2k]

Long time viewer here to say that after 5 years of playing this game I FINALLY got the platinum. (This was mostly caused by me switching consoles right before getting it and got too bored of it to start again). The worst part is that I finished the "Scavenger Hunt" achievement twice. I can wait to watch this video again to see what part you struggled with.

[@AdamMcDermott]

Congrats on the platinum. Oh boy, doing Scavenger Hunt twice is something else.

[@dean_p29]

Adam do u recommend the bioshock series

[@AdamMcDermott]

Absolutely

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

The Clash in the Clouds DLC made this platinum a LOT more difficult. Also the final fight in 1999 is really easy if you just protect the generator with Return to Sender traps, which act as shields.

[@AdamMcDermott]

You are right, using Return to Sender traps would have been really handy. If I am every replaying it, I'll keep that in mind.

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

You should play the DLCs if you haven't already. Burial at Sea 1 and 2 both continue the story of the base game, it's quite amazing to see. And you get to play as Liz in Episode 2 :)

[@AdamMcDermott]

I have played and loved Burial at Sea 1 and 2. Combined it is almost like a new Bioshock game. Great stuff.

[@TheWazzoGames]

Just wondering if you got the remaster.

[@AdamMcDermott]

I did. It is fantastic.

[@ItsVinnyBoy]

that hunter s thompson reference was beautiful

[@Rookiewill]

I got lucky with gear and was able to beat 1999 mode with just using the charge vigor and melee kills. Any melee hits created electrical bursts which stunned enemies and any enemies that I killed restored health and salt so I was able to keep spamming the charge vigor. :)

[@lt.e]

In your opinion what was the easiest and hardest platinum Bioshock trophy? 1,2 or Infinite?

[@AdamMcDermott]

It depends on how you approach them. If you split the no vita chamber trophy and beating it on survivor, the first two games are handy. If you do no vita chambers and survivor at the same time, the first game is the hardest. Infinite is the right amount of challenge. Never impossible but just tough enough.

[@jackdugdale9675]

Are you going to count the burial at seas as well?

[@AdamMcDermott]

If we go through the next few years without a Bioshock game, I might do an episode on Burial at Sea to scratch the Bioshock itch.

[@garr3ttguy644]

A tip for people doing platinum runs, don't open the safes unless you're seriously struggling with money. They only give money, only in Burial at Sea ep. 2 do they give gear. So opening the safes are just a waste of picks

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

Late comment but the game gives you so many lockpicks, you don't have to spare them at all (unless you keep missing them, of course). On my last playthrough I somehow had more lockpicks than I could carry (max. is 30).

[@coreyjames9560]
