Final Fight Tips:
The end boss of Burial at Sea - Episode 1 is the iconic Big Daddy from Bioshock 1 and 2. He can be a real challenge here, especially with your very limited resources and the fact that he has a few new features: he can jump and can fire his drill at you and retract it on a tether! If he hits you with the drill shot, he can pull you back towards him, making running from him difficult. He can be very tough but there are things you can do to help you win against him:

1. Use Shock Jockey/Old Man Winter:
If you hit the Big Daddy with either of these plasmids, he will be momentarily immobilized. Use these brief moments to unload on him with a weapon then repeat the process as you are able.

2. Keep moving!:
With the Big Daddy's new drill shot and his charge attack, standing still is a very, very bad idea! Keep moving, and fire off a few rounds at him when you can. There is one exception to this rule, which I cover in my method below.

3. Use the Motorized Patriot Tear!:
Bringing the Motorized Patriot into play takes a lot of pressure off you, as the Big Daddy will focus on him (but only for a limited amount of time)! I would recommend activating this later in the fight (after you've whittled the Big Daddy's health down a bit). While the Patriot can't stand up to too much punishment, activating him later in the fight makes it more likely he will survive to finish the Big Daddy off for you.

4. Restock (when you can)!:
There are Tears for ammo as well as Eve bottles scattered throughout the area. While it can be difficult to resupply and maintain your distance from the Big Daddy, it's an essential part of the fight! If you are struggling to keep away from the Big Daddy while you're searching for that needed Eve or ammo, consider activating the Motorized Patriot to distract him.

5. Don't bother with the Radar Range:
It does very little damage to the Big Daddy so using it is not recommended.

How I survived the fight:
At the very beginning of the fight, stand still and spam Shock Jockey/Old Man Winter while unloading on the Big Daddy with one of your weapons. Repeat this until you are out of Eve then run! Keep your distance as best you can and look for any Eve bottles or ammo and restock. Repeat your SJ/OMW spamming at least once more, then find and activate the Motorized Patriot Tear. At this point the Patriot should be able to take him out. Use the brief distraction to gather any supplies and prepare to finish of the Big Daddy if the Patriot cannot.
The right combination of Gear can also help a lot in the final fight. I would recommend:

• Roar to Life/Better Mousetrap (Shirt): With Roar to Life you get a five second speed and damage boost when your shield breaks and your weapon is instantly reloaded. With Better Mousetrap, your Plasmid Traps cost less Eve and do more damage.
• Surprise Element (Hat): Gives your bullets a 50% chance to do ice, fire or electric damage to the target. This is especially helpful in the final fight!
• High and Mighty (Boots): This gear gives you a chance to gain a temporary extra shield when you use Freight Hooks and Pneumo Lines (in other words: Winter Shield is back).
• Quick Handed (Pants): Quick handed increases your reload speed by 30%.
