This is also the area where Gordon first meets the Antlion Pupa. The player finds an abandoned Mine Shaft in this area which allows Gordon to obtain the SMG and later on the Grenades. Magnusson reminds Gordon that the Borealis could be overrun by Combine already and that this burial is unnecessary to which Alyx snaps at Magnusson yelling at him for being so arrogant and rude to which Magnusson shuts up for a large amount of the chapter. Kleiner tells Gordon to guide Alyx and Magnusson to find a way around, this leads the trio into the chapter “Golden Power”. Gordon, Alyx and Magnusson are separated from Kleiner and the Vortigaunts after the Burrower is buried by the boulders. The group continue on later hearing a drilling sound, Magnusson is concerned they are being followed and demands the Vortigaunts to check the area for any activity, to everyone’s surprise a Combine Synth called a Burrower appears and attacks killing one of the Vortigaunts and nearly kills Alyx however Kleiner steps in with a fist of courage and punches the synth in the back causing it to screech out in pain causing a cave-in. Alyx confused looks down and agrees that the acid spitting workers wouldn’t make such a poor quality hole. However with Combine hot on their tails the group encounter various Overwatch and Hunters however make it through alive, coming upon a hole in the path which they pass however Kleiner believes the hole is not of Antlion origin. New (First appearance in Game) Characters: Alyx, Magnusson, Vortigaunts, Dog, Kleiner Chapter 2: Quaking Feeling ĭuring the chapter “Quaking Feeling” the group lead by Gordon and Alyx take Eli to what the Vortigaunts believe is the most respectable location to be buried, at the heart of the Antlion nest. Weapons Obtained: Crowbar, 9mm Pistol & Gravity Gun The group land due to the danger of the cold weather on the helicopter and press forward into a cavern. The group head out of white forest into a cold region and the final glimpse of the White Forest Base is off Dog riding away with an armful of scientists and rebels on a dropship. Though Hunters and Overwatch appear in this level they cannot be killed, only Striders and Helicopters can. The level plays out with Kleiner and Alyx in the cockpit warning Gordon (who was only able to bring the Gravity Gun, 9mm Pistol and Crowbar with him) of incoming enemies to which Gordon would either shoot the Combine Pilot of the vehicle or due to a charging from to the Gravity Gun by the Vortigaunts rips of the shell of a Strider. However this was at the cost of removing the gun on the side for more space. Gordon and Alyx watch as the Vortigaunts and scientists are massacred by Striders, Hunters and Overwatch, only Kleiner, Alyx, Gordon, 5 Vortigaunts and Magnusson were able to escape due to the size of the helicopter. The First Chapter “Skies of Hell” takes place mostly in White Forest where Gordon and Alyx head towards the location of the Borealis after the encounter with the Advisors who have alerted the combine to the base and are attacking. 3.14 Chapter 17 Sub-Boss: Apeture AdvisorĬhapters Chapter 1: Skies of Hell.3.13 Chapter 17 Obstacle-Boss: Giant Crusher.3.7 Chapter 11 Boss: B-Gel Headcrabs and Zombies.2.6 Category 6 Weapons: Non-Ammo Damaging Weapons.2.4 Category 4 Weapons: Small Clip, Large Firearms.2.3 Category 3 Weapons: Fully Auto Weapons.
