Hector Rodriguez

From BioShock Wiki

Hector Rodriguez
Health	2000
Damage	90 + 1 per second the target is on fire
Location	Fort Frolic

Hector Rodriguez is one of Sander Cohen's former disciples, held prisoner by Cohen in Fort Frolic. Cohen asks Jack to kill him and photograph his corpse to complete his "masterpiece." Rodriguez comes to believe that art is "all grift" and that Cohen's favored position with Andrew Ryan is simply because Cohen's songs are just pro-Rapture propaganda. It is assumed he did some dirty work for Cohen based on his rantings.

[edit] Battle Strategy

Hector Rodriguez can be found in Eve's Garden, however, he does not appear until after you head backstage and view the ghost sequence featuring Jasmine Jolene.

Upon returning to the hall, you should hear Hector ranting drunkenly about how poor the service in Poseidon's Plaza has become. The moment he becomes aware of you, he will get up and run. It is possible to land a shot on him before alerting him. Like Silas Cobb, Hector fights just like a Nitro Splicer.

A good strategy to shoot some crossbow trap bolts at the edge of the stage, blocking the path from the bar to the door. That way, when you come back out and Rodriguez starts running, they will take a big chunk from his health. If he still takes off running, don't worry about him getting away. If you fall behind for some reason, he waits on you.

Rodriguez is tough, and it's unlikely one shot of anything you have (except maybe a damage-increased crossbow) will kill him. Chase him out the door, firing off RPGs or grenades. The crossbow and the machine gun are also very good, provided you use the anti-personnel rounds for the machine gun. Plasmids are also useful. As with other nitro splicers, you can catch the grenades he throws using Telekinesis and throw them back at him. Incinerate! is also great, and Winter Blast or Electro Bolt can be used to make Hector stand still for awhile, allowing you to deal more damage (Though, you can also effectively use the Chemical Thrower instead of those plasmids). Plasmids alone probably will not kill him though, so be prepared to switch to a weapon.

Also, you may use the Hypnotize Big Daddy, Enrage, or Security Bullseye plasmids to distract Hector and deal further damage (Security Bots can be summoned by breaking the glass). When he finally drops, take his photograph and head back to the Atrium.
