It's a better version of same strategy!
I killed an Elite Big Daddy (the hard ones) on Hard Difficulty with just a wrench and Electro-Bolt and never got hit. And guess what, I wasn't even lucky. This ALWAYS works.
Ok, the first order of business will be to max out your research of both types of Big Daddy: the Elite Bouncers and the Elite Rosies (these are the two that appear later in the game and are much stronger than the ones you meet earlier). The good news is that even photos of the regular Bouncers and Rosies count toward your research level. To get to LVL 5 Research quickly, equip the Photographer's Eye and Photographer's Eye 2 combat tonics. Used together they give you a 25% boost in research points. You can max the research in no time, just exit an area and come back in and photograph any Big Daddies you see for maximum points. Photograph each one until you stop getting points for it.
Now, the reason you are doing this is simple... At LVL 1, LVL3, and LVL 5 you get permanent damage boosts against the Big Daddies. Plus, at LVL 4 Research on the Bouncer, you get a permanent 50% boost to Wrench damage against ALL enemies. So, just from that research alone, your wrench became a bit more fearsome to those incredible hulks of Rapture (not enough though, not by a long shot...there's more work to be done!).
Here are the tonics you will now want to equip:
PHYSICAL TONICS
Doesn't matter... SportBoost 1 and 2 together make you 75% faster with the wrench and yes, more hits = more damage but if you are just swinging away on a Big Daddy, you're going to lose a TON of First Aid Kits or just plain DIE. That's not the goal here.
Also, you won't need BloodLust because you won't even be getting hit.
COMBAT TONICS
1) Damage Research -- Remember all that research you did on the Big Daddies that increased your damage against them three times? Well, increase all that damage now by another 30% with this tonic.
2) Damage Research 2 (did not use this one in the video! So that means the Big Daddies can be dropped even FASTER than this) -- Just like the above, but increase the damage by 60%. They stack, so that's 90% more damage you get for your Big Daddy research.
3) Wrench Jockey -- Wrench damage goes up by 350%.
4) Wrench Jockey 2 -- Wrench Damage goes up by 550%. Again, both Wrench Jockey's STACK, so these two tonics alone make your Wrench 900% stronger!
5) Wrench Lurker -- Wrench damage goes up 150% against enemies who are unaware of your presence or shocked.
6) Wrench Lurker 2 -- Wrench damage goes up 200% against enemies who are unaware of your presence or shocked. Together that's 350% more Wrench damage when you strike a shocked enemy (hence, the use of Electro-Bolt).
The rest is easy. Just use Electro-Bolt 3 on the Big Daddy, hit him once and back away while shocking him again, then strike him again once, and repeat the process. Make sure you let your Eve get injected while the Big Daddy is SHOCKED, or things could get messy. It shouldn't take long before he's a heap of rubble at your feet.
that deserves an achievement :)
