Seriously, has anyone been able to kill these things!?? They continuously kick my ass while that little girl keeps cheering him on to kill me.......messed up stuff.
Big Daddy in Bioshock
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Big Daddy in Bioshock I haven't faced one yet. Just got telekinesis myself. The game is rad though.
The first few are hard as hell, you really need to abuse your Electroshock to buy yourself time to get a safe firing distance (the shock stalls their actions), and unload your ammo into them. You will also need a fair amount of med kits handy (5+) for safety measures, as those things can rip you apart in seconds.
Easier later on when you get a plasmid that tricks them into being your bodyguard, then you just let the enemies slowly knock their health down for you. >.>

Ahh...finnally took out that bastard. I stupidily replaced my Electroshock with Rage (which is pratically usless), so I can't even shock him. But I had a hacked turret set up in a room, which after picking at the Big Daddy a few times, him he finnally chased me into the room where my turret was. While he turned his attention to taking out that turret, I was able to lay down some shot gun rounds at him. Of course it didn't take very long until he destroyed the turret and proceeded to continue kicking my ass again. Running low on health, I ran to one of those health station, only to find that Big Daddy bastard was already right behind me taking another shot at me. BUT, the cool thing here is that he also struck the health station, which destroyed it and caused it to electrofied him for a while and gave me more time to get away and lay some more shot gun shells at him which in turn finnally killed him. Wooohooo!
Pretty cool game....who would ever think to use a health station to destroy an enemy? :p

You can also hack health stations to booby-trap them for the splicers who try to bail on you to recover their health. ;/
Lots of ways to go about situations in this game, and I'm loving it.

Rage is'nt useless. Rage is great for causing the second big daddy to fight a rocket launching turret instead of you, as well as making them clear the area of other enemies for you.
Electroshock isn't a great way to kill that first big daddy either. All you need is a bunch of the electrified shotgun shells. Then instead of shocking him, then shooting him, then shocking him again, you can just shoot him over and over.
Electroshock is really useful for letting you get close to turrets and cameras to hack them though. But I traded the ice power for the electroshock, which also lets you get close to turrets, but I don't think it lets you hack them.
I wonder if the electric shotgun shells will disable those so you can hack them... I didn't think to try that cause I was saving those for big daddy. The second one is way stronger that the first though, so the shotgun shells weren't enough. The second one as I said, I had to make fight a bunch of guys and a rocket launching turret while hitting him with all my grenades and freezing him to keep him from getting to the turret to destroy it.
Oh and I'm playing the game on hard. I had to reload 5-10 times for that first Big Daddy, and 10-20 times for the second. But hard is fun!

Hmm...wonder if you can use Rage to get one Big Daddy to attack another?
I'm sure you can... It seems like one of the more useful powers. The ice power won't let you shatter stronger enemies like the ceiling crawlers or the big daddies. And the flame power doesn't seem to kill anyone unless they're standing in gas, much like the electric power doesn't kill them easily unless they're in water.
Yea hard is well.. Hard. I've managed to kill every big daddy thus far though (about 10). A good strategy is to use the 'control big daddy' plasmid on one, and lead him to another big daddy. They battle it out, pretty cool.
