We Are Not Alone
Objective: Take a brief trip to Xen and understand the magnitude of the situation at Black Mesa.
After emerging from the vent shaft, locate the armor and health stations on the right. Fill up if needed. Head through the corridor to the left until you reach the door. You should hear a scientist barking orders to Freeman just on the other side. Press the switch to the left of the door and the door will open. Watch Freeman jump into the teleporter (just as he did in the original game). You can follow him if you wish, but you won't survive.
Look! It's Gordon Freeman and he's jumping to Xen! |
Instead, as the carnage occurs all around you, spot the ladder to the right and ascend. Take out the floating alien beasts with your machine gun and watch for a gurney on the right side of the room to plummet to the ground. Jump to it either from the ground or from the higher platform and ascend until you reach the teleporter. Dive inside to travel to Xen.
When you land on the platform, look to the left and leap to the platform with the dead body and backpack, then bounce to the platform ahead. Leap to the next platform straight ahead. During the leap you should hear a warp-in noise as well as a man screaming. Get to the forward edge of this platform to avoid the scientist dropping from above. Grab the displacer weapon he leaves behind.
Use the bounce pad to reach the platform just to the right of the one with the houndeyes. |
Turn around and use the bounce pad to land on the platform a little to the right of your position (and very high up). It's the one to the right of the platform with the houndeyes. Eliminate the houndeyes with your pistol and leap to the platform they occupied. Use the bounce pad to reach the high platform just to the left of the rocks and the teleport bubble that leads back to the real world.
Face the teleport bubble and leap to it. When you land on top, you'll be whisked away from Xen and returned to the equally dangerous world of Earth.
