The message can only be understood by Elizabeth herself, and from that point on, the actions of Elizabeth and Booker seem to depart from other realities. In a last effort to save the cycle from repeating as it has, is, and always will, the future Elizabeth creates a tear back through time, and instructs Booker to deliver a message. His task is performed so admirably, in fact, that it is an aged Elizabeth who informs Booker that if left to fate's devices, the Songbird "always stops him." It is this older version of Elizabeth who has seen firsthand Booker's inability to save her, and has lived out her life in accordance with Comstock's prophecy - she sets New York City ablaze. Only when Comstock constructed the Siphon to contain her, and the Songbird to protect her and prevent her leaving were her powers limited.Īnd even though the Songbird is relegated to a supporting role against hordes of Vox Populi and Columbia Police, he does his job without fail. As she explains to Booker, the gift was limitless in her youth, allowing her to travel to nearly anywhere and any time. Since Elizabeth is later shown to have left one of her fingers behind in another parallel reality, it's presumed that this grants her agency over the tears others can only observe. Elizabeth Comstock: Past, Present & Future Next: The Singular Elizabeth - or Anna - Whichever You Prefer. Left to navigate parallel realities at their leisure, the pair found Booker DeWitt, the only man who could stop Comstock, and brought him into Rosalind's previous reality where the game begins. The pair are removed from time and space as a result of 'perishing' in their labs: the work of Comstock's sabotage upon discovering that they would eventually disagree with his goals. Again, confirming that he has joined Rosalind's reality from another, be it the one in which he acquires Booker's child for Comstock, or any other. Robert is not Rosalind's brother, but an alternate version of her from a parallel reality when Booker attempts to construct new memories to justify his presence in Columbia, Robert says he has gone through it himself. In Burial at Sea - Episode 2, when Elizabeth visits Columbia and her EVE/Salts are full, while looking at a Salts bottle, it will say: EVE Full.Although it is Rosalind who is quoted as saying that "he mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist" in Infinite's opening scene, it is Robert who proves it.This suggests that Salts are a form of EVE or something with the same effect on a person as EVE when used. In Burial at Sea - Episode 2, when visiting Columbia, Salts can be used to refill Elizabeth's EVE bar.Though the method of their creation is not explicitly stated within the game, an eerily similar liquid can be seen being created above the Siphon machine within Monument Island, likely harvested from Tears or from Elizabeth's power.The Salts bottle was designed by Paul Presley.The Salts bottle model, among others of Paul Presley's design. Salts are likely based on smelling salts, also known as ammonium carbonate, which were used to revive a person if they had fainted (Victorian era women frequently carried smelling salts, as the corsets that were worn at the time restricted breathing and made fainting common).Salts are the equivalent of EVE in the previous BioShock games.
