True to other Bioshock titles, Minerva's Den is a first person shooter. All supplies have to be collected throughout the game, limiting the amount of ammo, health, and ADAM a player can have at one time. The player also has a limited carrying capacity, meaning that only a certain number of items can be carried at one time.

The player and NPCs have the ability to slightly change the environment around then. If a wall, ceiling, or floor is hit or shot, a hole will appear in that spot.

Many items and parts of the environment of the game are affected by physics. Smaller items can be kicked, thrown, and knocked over by the player and some of the NPCs. Water dynamics also affects the player's movements, being that when underwater, the player will have longer steps and a slower fall time.

In Minerva's Den, there are additions that differentiate it from both Bioshock and BioShock 2.

The new plasmid, "Gravity Well", was introduced. Gravity Well allows the player to throw a black hole anywhere within a certain range. Small items and NPCs then get pulled in until the black hole expels the matter. Gravity Well does not affect the player or larger objects in the area.

Minerva's Den also introduces the player to a new weapon as well, the Ion Laser. The Ion Laser shoots a continuous beam of the selected ammunition, either laser cell, thermal cell, or burst cell. The mechanics of the Ion Laser are reminiscent of the Chemical Thrower from BioShock, but with a longer range.

Electromagnetic locks were added to certain doors to act as a barrier for the player. The locks are impossible to open until the player obtains "Gravity Well", which they can use to remove the lock's power source.

I wish they did more with the water sections in this game. We finally are justifiably able to wander out in the mysterious depths and trenches of the deep sea, but it’s basically just scenery for a few minutes at best.

Master Protector tonic I bought at 13:03 is available at Gatherer's Garden only if you obtain all stars in Protector Trials. Completing the Trials doesn't take much time and the tonic is very useful, so it's well worth the effort.

“If Turing could see me now...” chills!

[capnheehee]

Oh, man, I was so glad to see you did Minerva's Den, too! I just got done beating Bioshock 2, often with the help of the example that you set in these videos. You're a friggin' pro, mang. 🙂

The Lancer Big Daddy looks more like a medieval Knight than a diver.

[alexwu]

Minerva's Den is a fun dlc for two things; LASER WEAPON AND A BLACK HOLE PLASMID

[Maligale.]

53:01 my favourite audio tape in the entire bioshock franchise

[Kamreezyy]

Good job patologtv and I’m excited that you’ve come this far which I’ve expected though.

[ghunter]

New video to warm my heart, thank you

[АнтонМан-чк]

Best no commentary channel I ever see.

[Klox]

Great! Another excellent video. Can't wait to see the next part! Awesome work Patolog

[mikekomarinski]

7:58 O yes, a new weapon, The Ion Laser.😎

[alfaalfa]

Nice we wait for bioshock 3 now. You are the best

[DrymouthCWW]

God damn Patalog. The game may be on hard mode but you are harder. Hands down the best no commentary channel i have ever come across.

[mikekomarinski]

Minerva's Den is Rapture's version of what people believed what future life would look like back in the 50's & 60's.

Reed Wahls tries to predict Sigma's movement, but Sigma predict Wahls movement first

[MK]

My friend, I consider you, Zevik, and Mikeyrog the holy trinity of gaming on YT. Love watching you three for the finest walkthroughs!

Will there be a walkthrough for Bioshock Infinite!?

[bananadaily]

i like how you handle this run, it’s very smooth

[Tjm]

Man I love all your Bioshock walkthroughs. Thank you so much keep up the great work

[TheLordofLemons]

Bloody hell, this gameplay is smooth. How long did it take for you to learn/find everything for the video?
