Unforeseen Circumstances, continued
You're about to have
your first encounter with Houndeyes. These little beasts attack
with a sonic discharge, and you can hear a high-pitched squeal
as they rev up, which gives you a bit of time to kill them before
they attack. Near the first pack of Houndeyes, there's a health
dispenser through a window on the left as you enter. Jump through
the window if you need to fill up. Follow the hallway around,
killing any Houndeyes you come across. At the end of the passage,
there's a metal door on the right. Go through and climb up the
ladder. When you get to the top of the ladder, shoot the canisters
to kill the Zombie and Headcrabs. Go down the right passage and
talk to the Scientist so that he follows you.
Follow the catwalk
to a room with a Zombie finishing off another Scientist. Kill
the beast. The Scientist following you will activate the retinal
scanner, giving you access to the supply room, filled with Grenades
and ammo. After stocking up, leave the supply room and go back
down.
Continue following
the passageway. You'll encounter your first Alien Slave, a cyclopean
beast that shoots bolts of energy from its arms. If you see the
energy surrounding its body, it is about to attack. It does quite
a bit of electrical damage, so try to kill it before it gets the
chance to get you. Follow the hallway all the way to its end,
where you'll find a Scientist hiding from some Headcrabs in a
dumpster. Behind the dumpster is a health dispenser. Nearby, there's
a small hole in the ground next to a metal gate. A Zombie will
crawl out of a hole on the other side. Kill the beast by firing
through the gate, then drop down into the hole. Follow the tubes
until you come across a valve. Turn the valve, and the tubes will
begin filling with water. Swim through them until you come to
a grate. It will open, and you can climb out on the other side
of the gate.
You'll soon come upon
a large freight elevator. The switch at the top of the ramp activates
it. Flip the switch, then quickly get on the elevator. As you
descend, you'll be set upon by a constant stream of Headcrabs
from above. Most won't be able to attack. Use the Crowbar on those
that don't go sliding off the elevator. Near the end of the elevator
ride is a small platform with a health dispenser on it. Be prepared
to jump if you need to fill up.
Next, you'll come to
a metal catwalk. A Bullsquid will teleport in and break the bridge.
Jump to the pipes and follow them around to the ventilation duct.
Break the grate with the Crowbar, then climb in. Follow the duct
around to the second grate, and then break it and drop down. Beyond
the crates, you'll come to another broken catwalk. On the far
side, a Bullsquid is killing a bunch of Headcrabs. Let the squid
deal with the crabs, then shoot the squid from afar. Now look
up. Those are Barnacles. Shoot them from here, or just do your
best to avoid their tendrils, which will pull you up into their
waiting mouths.

Jump
across these boxes to the hallway beyond. |
Jump into the water
and go all the way to the end. You'll find a ladder leading up
to a health dispenser. Follow the walkway around, and go through
the door. You'll come to a room filled with suspended boxes. Climb
up the ladders, then jump on the railing. Make your way across,
jumping carefully from box to box. Once safely on the other side,
follow the hallway until you come to a ladder. Climb up. You'll
come across a large elevator. Enter and press the button.
