Once the achievement unlocks, cover up the hole with the car nearby and finish off the remaining Combine. Punt them on their backs to make them easy targets for Alyx. The combine on the far side will be too busy killing Antlions, which will keep spawning from the hole down the street. You can use the Antlions as cannon fodder from this point to finish your 30 sniper kills. On the far side there are more Combine troops on the barricade. This means more targets for her to snipe. Remove the back plate and allow Alyx to kill him. When you get back down to street level, there is a Combine Elite firing a turret on Antlions to your right behind some metal plates. Use the Gravity Gun to clear the way for her to kill another 8 targets. Afterwards, you head up to a boarded-up bridge across from Alyx' position. There are 8 zombies in the first area past the ladder for Alyx to snipe. This prevents them from killing valueable targets for Alyx. When a Zombine pulls out a grenade for a suicide bombing attempt, use the Gravity Gun to pull it towards you and punt it far away. The trick to this achievement is to simply keep moving around in circles in the first area, dragging the zombies along with you for Alyx to snipe. She will shoot down a ladder for you allowing you to proceed. Live Bait Help Alyx snipe 30 enemies in Episode One.Īfter you encounter your first sniper, and take him out using the grenades from the crates directly below him, Alyx climbs up to his position and grabs his sniper. Also be on the lookout for Zombines who use their grenade to blow up your valuable flare targets. If your flashlight dies, you're pretty much done for in the wave of zombies. Since you cannot see where you're going unless you use your flashlight, you should refrain from sprinting if possible, because both draw from the same energy source.
You will probably need all of the flares. There won't be a lot of zombies right off the bat, so you're better off holding out until there are more zombies before you activate your first flare in order to maximize your efficiency. Make sure you know exactly where the flares can be found before you activate it. The last one is located to the right of the door you entered the area from.Ĭlose to the second fenced in area is a door being barred by a wooden beam.
This second fenced off area is located a little forward from the other, still moving away from the elevator. Instead, there is an opening to the ceiling through which you will have to pull your flares out.
Two of them are located right near the elevator.Īnother is in a fenced off area with a lock, which is located a little forward and to the left when you stand with your back to the elevator.Īnother two flares are also in a fenced off area, but this one has no door. There are a total of six flares in the area. You will need to follow the sparking wire to a fuse box, which when activated will summon a horde of 'Zombines' as Alyx calls them, as well as fast and regular zombies. You'll come to a point where you find an elevator, but it's powered down. This is quite an annoying achievement to do. Zombie-que Use flares to light 15 zombies on fire. According to others, it is even possible to light all 15 zombies on fire in these tunnels. Doing this now saves you a lot of trouble later on, when things get a lot more hectic. This shaves off a couple of zombies from the 15 you need for Zombie-que. You will want to use these to light any zombies you encounter in these tunnels on fire. When you navigate the tunnels you will notice several flares on the ground. You never know when you may need them again. You should make good use of any props you encounter on your way (the bigger the better), and if possible carry them with you once you've used them. In case you receive a new type of weapon, be sure to immediately switch back to a 'safe' weapon before firing. Keep in mind that Crossbow bolts, SMG Grenades and Pulse-Rifle Orbs also count as bullets. However Grenade, Crowbar, Rocket, and Gravgun kills are okay. From this point on, you may never fire another bullet until you reach the end of the game. Do not use the shotgun to break the lock, because it counts as more than one bullet. Fire one bullet with your pistol to break the lock. There is a lock in this room you can only shoot to break.
#Half life 2 episode 1 walkthru free
If you are going to do the The One Free Bullet achievement, which I am assuming you are, this point is where you have to fire your only bullet. Once you get to the room on the other side of the door there is a stash with a shotgun, a pistol and some suit charges. After you and Alyx fight a couple of zombies you have to go through an air duct to open a door.
