' that takes you halfway across the level is an askance nod to the fact that the level once had two entrances and exits, one at the bulkhead and one in the cellar that popped you back out into the Rolling Hills.' In early versions was much more of a rocky natural cave, and some natural passageways that led underground to the Rolling Hills.'.Developer Jean-Paul LeBreton remarks on this area:.Julie Langford - The Saturnine - Lower Rolling Hills, by the entrance to the Saturnine cave.Īn Advertisement for Rolling Hills, seen in BioShock 2 Multiplayer.Mariska Lutz - Shouldn't Have Come - Upper Rolling Hills, on a bench near the stairs to the Lower Rolling Hills.The cave in Upper Rolling Hills is mostly the same, except it includes a large wall of Saturnine writing, and ankle-deep water. At the end of the cave is a stone altar on which offertory objects such as pumpkins, liquor, and blood have been placed for use in rituals. On the ground near the entrance of the cave lies the Audio Diary The Saturnine. The cave in Lower Lolling Hills has waist-deep water and a sole Saturnine cultist. The entrances to both caves are marked by two straw figurines which are set aflame. Once Ryan's poison is released, these caves open up. In addition to these, the hidden caves are now enterable as a result of the herbicide. Not only does this make Rolling Hills' plant life sparse, but it reveals a number of hidden Saturnine figurines and writings. Upon entering the main area of the Lower Rolling Hills, Andrew Ryan releases a deadly poison, killing most of the plant life. Near the Langford Research Laboratories entrance is a Little Sister Vent, and a tank of liquid nitrogen lies on a ledge near the exit to the Rapture Metro. Going down the short flight of stone stairs brings you to this lower level.

Also in this area is a cave overgrown with vegetation. Near the stairs leading to Lower Rolling Hills is a bench on which lies the Audio Diary Shouldn't Have Come. To the right of this is a Bot Shutdown Panel. A waterfall flows on the far wall which can be traversed to gain pistol bullets, an EVE Hypo, and an Automatic Hack Tool. The left wall can be climbed to reach several dollars and an EVE Hypo. Much of the light coming from the ceiling is blocked by the canopy of leaves, immersing visitors in the forest. Unlike other places in Arcadia, the ceiling is made of glass with a view of the sea, instead of being painted to resemble the sky. The walls are made of stone and wooden beams. Positioned under an awning is a Grenade Launcher Turret which is able to fire upon Jack almost as soon as he walks in.

Improving this connection for traffic capacity and providing safe facilities for bicycles and pedestrians is a priority. The road currently carries about 10,000 cars per day.
