How is rapture related to columbia




















Father Comstock interpreted these Tears as revelatory visions of the future, increasing his delusions of grandeur. Using these Tears, he orchestrated the transfer of Anna DeWitt , the daughter of an alternate version of himself to Columbia and rechristened her as Elizabeth to become his successor.

He unknowingly gave birth to her reality-bending powers by splitting her from across multiple realities. In an attempt to control her powers, he had the Luteces engineer several Siphons , devices capable of feeding off her energy. Their experiments nonetheless led to the spontaneous formation of many Tears around Columbia. While most citizens regarded these Tears as a mere curiosity, individuals such as Jeremiah and Albert Fink exploited their access to parallel universe technologies.

While Albert Fink simply used Tears as a means of trans-dimensional artistic theft, Jeremiah copied the designs of other researchers some of them hinted to be from Rapture to create radically new technologies, such as Vigors , automotive horses, the Voxophones , and Motorized Patriots. Based on the blueprints of an armored suit , he engineered the Songbird Defense System. As Zachary Comstock observed the Tears engineered by the Lutece twins, he became convinced that the glimpses of potential futures were, in fact, prophetic visions.

Styling himself as the Prophet, he envisioned a future in which Columbia would bring forth a cleansing apocalypse across the world below, reshaping it in the city's image. However, repeated exposure to the device left him sterile, prematurely aged and terminally ill. In search of an heir, he used the Luteces' device to travel to an alternate universe in and purchase the daughter of his counterpart, Booker DeWitt.

He rechristened her Elizabeth and established her birth as the result of a miraculous seven-day pregnancy. The transfer also granted Elizabeth the power to create Tears when one closed on her little finger, causing her to exist in multiple realities.

Lady Comstock , the Prophet's wife, did not take kindly to this fraud. Unwilling to listen to Rosalind Lutece's explanation, she accused her and Comstock of having an affair and threatened to reveal Elizabeth's true nature to the public. Desperate to maintain the myth surrounding the Lamb of Columbia, Father Comstock orchestrated Lady Comstock's murder and framed her scullery maid, Daisy Fitzroy , for the crime.

However, Daisy escaped custody and went on to lead the Vox Populi as revenge against the Founders. In order to preserve secrecy, he also engineered the sabotage of the Lutece Twins' device in an attempt to murder them and cover up their deaths. Unbeknownst to him, the accident actually scattered them across the space-time continuum, allowing them to travel freely across all realities.

Determined to set things right, they contacted Booker DeWitt and arranged his journey to Columbia. Upon transfer to Comstock's reality, Booker's memories are rewritten: rather than setting out to find his daughter, he believes he has taken the task of retrieving Elizabeth to be able to wipe away his debt.

Booker arrives in Columbia and is directed to find Monument Island. Traveling through to the Raffle and Fair, he is exposed as being the False Shepherd, the anti-christ figure prophecized to lead the Lamb of Columbia astray. Immediately, he is hunted down by Comstock's forces and must fight his way through to Monument Island. There, he meets Elizabeth and is beset by Songbird, her giant mechanized jailer.

Songbird chases the two down, destroying portions of the city sky-line and part of the Monument in the process before they escape to Battleship Bay. Later on, the two gain access to The First Lady , an airship capable of taking them to the mainland. The two get separated, and Booker finds himself forced to work for Daisy Fitzroy: to regain the airship, he must find Chen Lin, an arms manufacturer sympathetic to the Vox Populi's cause, so that the Vox may lead an armed revolution against the Founders.

Booker and Elizabeth reunite in Finkton and travel inside to find that Chen Lin has been murdered by Jeremiah Fink's men. Elizabeth then creates a Tear to a parallel reality in which Chen Lin is still alive, albeit with his tools confiscated. Setting out to Shantytown to find his tools, the two travel through to another Tear in which Columbia is in the middle of an uprising.

In this reality, Booker DeWitt was a martyr of the Vox who died for their cause. Fighting their way back to Finkton, the two are discovered by Daisy Fitzroy who orders their execution. At the summit of Fink Manufacturing, Elizabeth kills Daisy, after the Vox leader murders Fink, to prevent her from killing a young boy in cold blood.

Though the two manage to come back on board The First Lady , they are attacked by Songbird, who crashes the airship into Emporia. Set upon by both the Founders and the Vox, who are rapidly putting the city to ruin, Booker and Elizabeth attempt to gain access to Comstock House. To do so, they must collect a handprint from Lady Comstock to bypass a lock.

Father Comstock activates a Siphon at the grave and resurrects his dead wife as the Siren. Confused and angry, this new entity attacks Booker, using her powers to send armies of dead soldiers against him. Through three Tears, the two discover that Elizabeth is not, in fact, Comstock's daughter and that the latter had Lady Comstock and the Lutece twins murdered to keep Elizabeth's origins a secret.

In a final battle, Elizabeth finally manages to appease the Siren, who blasts open the door to Comstock House. As soon as they enter, Songbird appears, captures Elizabeth and brings her to Comstock House. Booker sets out to rescue her. He finds that he was too late, and Elizabeth has been indoctrinated to become Comstock's successor.

Fighting his way through Comstock House, he is greeted by an elderly Elizabeth, who explains to him that she felt remorse for her actions and brought him through a Tear to prevent her from turning into a monster. He then witnesses the destruction of New York in , an event he had seen before in a recurring dream. Elizabeth then gives him a note for him to pass down to her younger self and sends him back to the previous timeline.

Inside another part of Comstock House, Booker manages to rescue Elizabeth from torture intended to break her to Comstock's will. Together they board the Hand of the Prophet, Comstock's flagship.

Elizabeth meets face-to-face with Comstock and demands he explains her true nature. He can only utter a cryptic response before Booker, in a fit of rage, beats him and drowns him in his own baptismal font. Determined to find answers, Elizabeth uses her older self's note to take control of Songbird and sets the course for Monument Island, which houses the primary Siphon that had been limiting her powers all this time.

After fighting off waves of Vox Populi, Booker orders the destruction of the Siphon, unlocking Elizabeth's near-godlike powers. She effortlessly transports herself, Booker and Songbird to Rapture , crushing her ex-guardian under the ocean's pressure. Through a series of Tears, Elizabeth reveals to Booker that Columbia and Rapture are connected via key elements, and are linked across different realities.

The duo is determined to learn the truth about Elizabeth and to stop Comstock from ever harming her. When Booker discovers he is an alternate version of Comstock, he allows Elizabeth to drown him in the past so that he is never able to make the choice that leads to Comstock's creation. With the elimination of all Comstocks, all versions of Columbia created by Comstock are seemingly erased.

However, since Columbia did exist in the past, it is still able to be visited in the past as Elizabeth does in Burial at Sea - Episode 2. However, Columbia is a dead end.

This does not mean that Columbia will not leave some traces behind that it once existed. This is why the Comstock in Rapture continued to exist and the few people who knew of Columbia continued to remember it.

Elizabeth, trapped in Fontaine's the formerly successful department store turned sunken prison separated from the rest of Rapture , is on a mission to jailbreak Atlas and his followers in exchange for Little Sister Sally. She learns that the Scientists of both Rapture and Columbia have been sharing secrets and scientific breakthrough across universes through the Tears that started to appear after Elizabeth entered Rapture to get revenge on Comstock.

The first two entries take place in Rapture, a massive city in the bottom of the ocean, where BioShock Infinite told its story in the city of Columbia, one that floated in the sky far above land. Now that another BioShock game is officially being developed , it's time to ask the biggest question on everyone's mind: where is the game going to take place? The first and most obvious choice is Rapture. After all, the underwater city is what gave BioShock its reputation in the first place, and a majority of the player base considers the original to be the greatest entry in the series.

The eerie corridors and dystopian atmosphere of the underwater city experiencing a state of complete anarchy and destruction is the back drop that BioShock is best known for, and considering that we haven't seen a new BioShock game since , setting BioShock 4 in Rapture is the safest bet. Many fans would be thrilled to see the series make a return to the airborne city of Columbia though. Similar to Rapture, Columbia is in a state of total turmoil throughout BioShock Infinite , but its bright and colorful atmosphere and colonial architecture provide for an interesting contrast against the game's dystopian story.

While attempting to steal said mask from one of these establishments, Elizabeth reveals that she came to Rapture for a man, a man who owes a debt, and that she is there to collect. She plays her part and distracts the store owners while DeWitt searches for the mask.

Comstock is the villain , Booker is the hero, and every time that they speak, they reinforce this distinction between them. Making things worse, every time that the game begins to suggest that Booker is a bad guy, it immediately reverses course to make him seem more sympathetic.

Booker struggling to keep Anna. To escape his guilt, Comstock had the Luteces open a Tear to Rapture. He lost his memory of all that had occurred and began a new life as private investigator Booker DeWitt. Because of the pheromone and Suchong's conditioning regimen, the Little Sisters are strongly attached to the Big Daddies , affectionately calling them a number of pet names such as 'Mister Bubbles' or 'Mister B'.

When a Big Daddy is killed, its Little Sister will stop whatever she is doing and mourn its death. Jack experiences strange visions of his family while traveling, but eventually discovers that he is the illegitimate son of Andrew Ryan and singer Jasmine Jolene, "Andrew Ryan's Favorite Girl. Getting the Different Endings. To achieve the Best Ending, every single one of the 21 Little Sisters must be rescued.

To rescue a Little Sister, approach her after you have defeated her Big Daddy guardian. He tried to stop Comstock from taking his baby in the last minute, but failed to do so. As the tear closed, Anna's little finger was caught in the closing tear and was cut. Rosalind Lutece says that this is how Elizabeth which is what Comstock named Anna as got her powers. Much like the Big Daddy, the Songbird is a combination between a machine and a human.

Songbird's mechanical features are similar to that of the Big Daddy, with color-changing eyes to indicate its mood. Episode 2 of Burial at Sea is where things both start to become interesting but also present a dissonance to the base game more heavily. With you as Comstock now dead, the player takes control of Elizabeth.
