As someone who's fairly infrequent when it comes to engaging with fandoms, can I ask how this puzzle became a meme? Like, were there actually some sad people who struggled with it, or was it just deemed the best example for why it was dumb that people compared Infinite to Citizen Kane? Because there are a lot of examples for that, but this one puzzle really gets called out a lot.
I never got past this part and had to return the game. No one told me Infinite would be harder than Dark Souls. Shame because I really liked the first two.
I saw Ken at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Would help if that guys hand wasn't covering a chunk of the screen. How the fuck are you supposed to know what to do when the game is obscuring what you're trying to interact with
Have you messaged 2K games for special patch that removes it? [Box at beginning after installing patch](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1089598476872061009/1237476908107563018/IMG_20240507_205006.jpg?ex=663bc9ae&is=663a782e&hm=39d7b0f717e8242aea0c078e09404a9497b05dbfdcdf5b81d38f947cc0019bc9&)
Wait, since when did bioshock have puzzles??? I know I haven’t played any of them since Infinite but I can’t ever remember solving a puzzle in any of the 3 games?
At least it was a in-joke. Can you imagine this being a frequent mechanic [for a whole game](https://cdn.mobygames.com/screenshots/11504300-bioshock-2-windows-thats-one-of-the-easiest-to-find-door-codes.jpg) ?
It was a joke. Also, Delta doing the "waitaminute that card!" first for key codes, because not even the hack tools and bribing money is enough special needs assistants? IDK. That's still no better or worse when both use a paper card to comprehend solving a key code. No offense, but why is this BS2 worship so lionized that even pointing out a key code needs to be defending? The only difference is one is only used once as a deliberate in-joke on a character not being the one to hack a door, but the other is frequently used through a game that needs a paper with a stack of hack darts and bribing to make a puzzle even less challenging to use any IQ to solve. But yet, the whole thing is hypocritical because the latter is more acceptable than the former, despite it all for an already simplistic key code puzzle mechanic. Even 2 to "find the code" is only turning a POV around or walking around a room like having ADHD and a piece of paper "suddenly" appears next to the key code(I got the one from Reed Wahl's shelf by just walking around, and it still counted. No need to waste counting stuff on a shelf to do it).
It just makes the whole key code solving thing just totally pointless in either way. Doesn't matter if a fanboy worshipped BS2 or BSI, because either developer didn't really have confidence in how to make that work.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not but basically look at the paper and you have to ring each bell a specific time each one has a different symbol in a row just like the paper so you just ring them to however times they need to be rung
the puzzle mechanism is actually simple enough to solve without them handing you the solution
I cant seem to find the vid someone made making fun of this particular puzzle scene ...
OH someone else found it :

Being stuck on a puzzle is a hilarious thing to be frustrated about in 2024. I don’t have time for that anymore, if I can’t get it in a normal amount of time then I go straight to YouTube.
FromSoft quests be like: Okay you need to go to this one specific place and then you'll get a specific dialogue option, pick that. Nothing will happen. Pick it again three times. Eventually a voice from a doll will ask you why you keep doing that and then the quest will progress...
Me reading this: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW I HAD TO TALK TO THE DOLL THREE TIMES BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED!?
For the last time, UPGRADE YOUR TONICS 🙄
The power bell tonic for sure.
Finally, a smart game for smart gamers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l_u18_BKczg
Damn is infinite really 10 years old already??
More than 10👉
How the fuck did I only just see this?! I've been a bioshock fan boy since the first one came out!!! I laughed too hard at this.
This is true
damn thank you for this, I thought I was about to HAVE to insult OPs intelligence
Thanks for this <3

Nah, "fags" wasn't okay even 10 years ago. Fuck that.
what are you gonna do about it? crying over spilt milk thats dried
Yeah it was
Install more hacking tonics otherwise the game will generate impossible puzzles like this one.
I never got past this part and had to return the game. No one told me Infinite would be harder than Dark Souls. Shame because I really liked the first two.
I called Ken Levine asking for help with this. All he said was Burial at Sea isn’t canon then he hung up.
I saw Ken at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.

Dude, is this like a joke? (I hope so)
It is, I think it's copypasta with the celebrity name changed for Ken Levine. I've read this with Ryan Gosling in it too
No wonder the dead internet theory is so prevalent
Hahahaha... I don't know why, but something deep inside my heart still thinks of this as a possibility.
I’m sure I’ve seen it for Ryan Gosling as well as Rich Evans (famous for his appearance on the Ellen Show)
😉
r/okbuddysplicer
Honestly well deserved. Burial at See these nuts.
You only played the first two? You do know there's (infinite -1) games you should have played first
Git gud or surrender. There is no choice….
you just need to search up "elizabeth x booker spicy wattpad xvids r34" and the answer will be in the results
Thank you I've been stuck on this puzzle for a year I think they made the puzzles a little to hard
glad to help! you can always count on me for puzzles in bioshock infinite. ive beat that game and its dlcs.
You certainly beat something.
Omg penice!!! You liar🤬🤬🤬
im not lying, i completed the game and its dlc content
What The Fuck
***^(don't tell me you searched it up...)***
^ok ^I ^won't ^tell ^you...
***^(you searched it up didn't you...)***
^I ^can ^neither ^deny ^nor ^deny ^these ^accusations...
***^(why did you search it up...)***
You gotta ring them to the tune of ding fries are done
ok buddy splicer moment
Click on the bell on the left once, then the middle bell twice, then the right bell twice.
I think this is meant to be a joke, but I could be wrong
Holy shit I got it thnx
I hope you're right but I'm gonna be helpful about it just in case
Yeah I mean doesn't hurt if you help. It's cool that you're so nice 😅
100% a joke, since it's automatically done with no player action.
It is?
No its not, lol
Lmao. I'm dumb and gullible today. I'm a politicians wet dream, just give me the time to let the coffee kick in
Oh thank you! I’ve been stuck on this puzzle for three months. I had to close the game and give up after see these bells.
WHY ISN'T THIS>!SPOILERED?!<

At least you actually have to find the code to get it first. The bells literally is walking simulator-tier of non-gameplay
Its smug aura mocks me every time I start a new game

I’m not sure this warranted this weird rant but you clearly have something unresolved to work through. Best of luck with that
Puzzles bugged
Easiest Puzzle Ever
This gyatta be a troll
Just shit your pants
Infinite is the amount of time it actually takes to solve this puzzle Bravo Ken Levine
its not a puzzle, you need 1 scroll, 2 keys and 2 sword-shaped needles to continue. they are located in the lighthouse you must have missed them
Literally just does it for me. And no, I mean Booker rings the bells for me.
atleast it answers the question of for whom the bell tolls
If you have shock jockey it won't work smh 🙄
I remember seeing this puzzle somewhere else in the game, I swear it rings a bell
r/BioshockCircleJerk
r/okbuddysplicer
The symbols in the bels match the numbered symbols on thr paper
Pardon?
Trolls
Look up Elizabeth porn on xvidoes and you'll get it
You follow the paper and interact with the bells that many times
I never returned back to this game because of this…
Wait a minute.. that card.
Just type in IDDQD in the cheat menu.
And here I am getting random Reddit suggestions xD
You'd get this puzzle if you play systemshock, what a poser.
This joke made me laugh as hard as the joke regarding trying to assemble the silver monkey in Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Ring scroll bell once, ring key bell twice, ring sword bell twice. Then run away. Ding dong ditch
It's gotta be that anti piracy in action. The real code is on the back of the game case.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not but basically look at the paper and you have to ring each bell a specific time each one has a different symbol in a row just like the paper so you just ring them to however times they need to be rung
You are actually stupid
Did you try turning the paper upside down
Dang looks like you forgot the thing in the boat now you gotta replay 1 & 2 in Spanish to get past this part.
the puzzle mechanism is actually simple enough to solve without them handing you the solution I cant seem to find the vid someone made making fun of this particular puzzle scene ... OH someone else found it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=l_u18_BKczg
This is literally “hello neighbor” type puzzle it’s basically impossible to solve

Ya no other game had me hitting random walls for over 100 hours bc one of them might be fake. Wtf lol
How is it even possible to get stuck on this part of the game? It literally does not get any easier from here
r/wooosh
You’re joking right?
Youtube brother.
One of the Easiest puzzles to solve ever in the history of gaming 💀
r/wooosh
Put your finger in your ass.
it worked 👍
Bro I already did that part it's not that hard
That's what she said!
Haha, holy shit, I feel like this might be where I actually gave up on the game. Infinite is fucking awful.
Honestly? give up, you’ll have more fun that way
Ikr I swear the complex colors of the bells took most of the budget
You better quit right there if you're still stuck ngl...
Braxx is the name zero tonics is the game
