Oh, off topic but it is also important to remember she has one of her little fingers missing.Įlizabeth received this tearing power after the Lutece’s twins experimented on her (she did not naturally have this power). Before we go into this though, we need to take a look at Elizabeth’s “tearing” power.

It isn’t until near the end that the plot heats up again. Now Booker must fight through hundreds of people just to get to Elizabeth - and hundreds more to try and escape Columbia.Īfter he finds her, things become pretty straight forward escape this city in the sky. After going to throw the ball, Booker’s hand is stopped by a police officer, who reveals him as the false shepherd. His prize is getting to throw his ball at a couple of tied up Columbians - one white, one black. This false shepherd is Booker.Īfter going to watch the Columbia raffle on his way to the tower, Booker is told to choose a raffle ball, which he does. This false shepherd can be identified by the AD mark on the back of his hand. The prophet Comstock, the ruler of Columbia, predicted that a “false shepherd” would come to Columbia to try and steal their lamb (Elizabeth) from them. These letters (AD) match the letters imprinted on the back of Booker’s, hand. He then sees a sign showing off a somewhat devilish hand with the letters “AD” printed on the back of it. He ignores it, not understanding what it means. Before he can reach her, he receives a telegram telling him NOT to pick number 77. Apparently, this deed will rid Booker of all his (gambling?) debts.Īfter blasting off into Columbia, Booker goes about trying to get to Elizabeth, who’s locked away in a tower. The basicsīooker Dewitt, the player’s character, has been entrusted with the job of going to Columbia to rescue a girl, Elizabeth, and bring her back to New York. I’m still unsure of a couple of things, but these aren’t massive plot points that really matter, and either I just missed something or they are actual minor plot holes that weren’t explained in the game properly. Basically, what I’m trying to say is: Don’t worry everything is explained here - not just the plot but the actual end and its context, too, so if you want closure, then I guess just read this. But if you didn’t, you will no doubt still be a bit confused. If you watched past the credits, you should know what the true ending. I have seen many people explain the entire plot in detail - which I will also be doing - but they all seem to brush over exactly what the ending means and how Irrational leaves things off.

I also want to point out that this explanation is also an actual explanation of the ending. Admittedly, the last 25 minutes throw a lot at you at once, and you don’t really have enough time to process it or make much sense of it all.

OK, so I noticed a lot of people are confused about the ending of BioShock Infinite. Here’s another view of the artistry of BioShock Infinite.
