IGN Editors Discuss the Ending of BioShock InfiniteĮlizabeth leads Booker through several lighthouses, including one which contains Rapture, a city which existed in the first two BioShock games. She now wants to stop the events that occurred at their source, Comstock's birth. The only thing preventing Elizabeth and Booker from leaving Columbia behind and travelling to Paris at this point is Elizabeth's knowledge of the events leading up to this point. This is because the siphon was preventing her from using her abilities to their full potential. When Elizabeth asks Booker if he fears God, it is a hint that she is a moral person and may feel obligated to do the right thing.Īfter successfully destroying the siphon through use of the Songbird, Elizabeth now has full use of her ability, and is omnipotent. Players of the original BioShock will recognize one of many alternate cities as Rapture.Īs Elizabeth puts it: "There's always a man, always a lighthouse, always a city."Īt the end of the game, Elizabeth takes Booker to the lighthouses so he can comprehend things and show him what needs to be done for the greater good. She sees that the universes in which the "Booker" character lives lead to the inevitable: a man builds a city, attempts to leave society behind and create a utopia, which ultimately leads to corruption, downfall and destruction - sometimes the destruction of Columbia, sometimes the destruction of civilization by Columbia. When Elizabeth becomes omniscient, the knowledge of every universe is common to her and she realizes the implications are much bigger than Comstock and Columbia. Therefore the only way to prevent the creation of Columbia is to kill Booker during his transformation into Comstock.
