Mysterious Signs in arcadia

[Blue Lightning]

There are some tapes around there that give some insight...I think its some kind of cult or coven....

[blake2t2]

can you tell me where to find toes tapes? cause ive found some with a cult mentioned in it---but nothing really to signify what the symbols say--or are for....

[Asherah]

You'll find the audio diaries around Langford's office and another one in the entrance of a cave in Rolling Hills. The symbols are never really explained, there just things the cult called the Saturnine drew around Arcadia really just for the heck of it.

[FtRapture]

They are all astrology symbols

sorry about the new thread with the same question----anyway i can delete this one?

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

they were made by the Saturnine, i'm assuming.

These freaks think that their powers come from astrology, not from splicing, and they worship their god in the caves. They all wear wicker masks. The first Houdini splicer in the Tea Garden tries to bait you with his mask on the table -- if you touch it he pops up behind you. Dr. Langford explains them in the tapes in Rolling Hills.

oh so thats why everytime i smash it with a wrench hes right behind me

I just figured the astrological signs were made by The Saturnine. Just like Bibles were banned, I'm assuming that all things relating to astrology & spiritual elements were also banned. Perhaps a form of Graffiti and rebellion?

I mean, they drank blood and in one of the tape recordings, it says they "...believe they are touched by the ancient gods". Reminds me of the Egyptians (minus the blood drinking).

Whatever the case, they looks pretty and fit in with Arcadia well.

Yet another very interesting angle in Bioshock. The little details like that...coming up with an area where a cult hung out. Thats what makes this game what it is...details.

So those splicers think they got their Houdini powers from "astrology?" LOL I love it! Great side story in this game
