Complete Duke Nukem Forever Fork The Pork and Companion Barrel achievements. Use the forklift to kill 6 aliens or unlock the secret closet.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After obtaining the forklift, raise its prongs and smash into six enemies. There are more than six available. Consider doing this on a lower difficulty due to damage on DIG difficulty.
  2. 2
    To unlock the Companion Barrel achievement, follow the guide to find the secret closet at the end of the Forkstop.
  3. 3
    You can pick up the Freeze Ray in the first room on your left.
  4. 4
    Walk down the corridors, shooting at all spawning Pigcops.
  5. 5
    Use the forklift to drive into enemies.
  6. 6
    The first long hallway has four Shotgun Pigcops; avoid getting too close if walking. At the end of the hall, before turning right, there is an EDF crate with two Laser Trip Mines.
  7. 7
    Optional: Before going down the hallway, raise the forklift in front of the stairs and hop onto the floor above to pick up a Shrink Ray. You can also use pipes to jump over the rail.
  8. 8
    After passing under the walkway and turning the corner, three Ripper Pigcops are waiting.
  9. 9
    As you approach the end of this hallway, a Shotgun Pigcop will drop down and rush at you. Deal with it and use the busted forklift to scale the fence.
  10. 10
    There is an RPG against the wall to the right as you drop down.
  11. 11
    In the dark room, destroy the crates to give enemies no cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects).
  12. 12
    There is a Ripper Pigcop in front of the roller door, two Pipe Bombs to the left upon entering, an RPG far right, and a Railgun near the forklift.
  13. 13
    Enter the door on the far right of the room and make your way to the control room.
  14. 14
    The first door on the right is an EDF crate with a Holoduke.
  15. 15
    Up the first set of stairs, to your left is a locker with Steroids and two Pipe Bombs.
  16. 16
    If you skip the control room door and keep going, there is an EDF crate with three Laser Trip Mines. Lockers also contain a Pistol.
  17. 17
    Open the control room door.
  18. 18
    A Shotgun is available to pick up, and there is a calendar to flip through.
  19. 19
    Flip the switch inside the control room and prepare for an ambush. Two Pigcops (Ripper and Pistol) spawn inside the entrance, while another Pistol Pigcop and Shotgun Pigcop await outside.
  20. 20
    A Ripper Pigcop and a Shotgun Pigcop will be on one side, with a Ripper Pigcop on ledges above. Engage them carefully, staying on one end to avoid being engaged by both sides at once.
  21. 21
    Next are two Shotgun Pigcops, with a Ripper Pigcop on each side. One Shotgun Pigcop spawns after you inflict a casualty.
  22. 22
    Up to three Ripper Pigcops spawn on one side, and a Berserk Pigcop leaps down. Retreat to a corridor and set a trap if you have Pipe Bombs and/or Laser Trip Mines.
  23. 23
    Finally, there are two Berserk Pigcops and an RPG Super Pigcop. Set a trap for the Berserkers if possible.
  24. 24
    Use the Control bar to lower the forklift and drive it to the far right, raising the lift as high as possible.
  25. 25
    Jump up and over to pick up the "Companion Barrel." You can walk it the rest of the way.
  26. 26
    Head to the far left corner and press the green button. It should lower enough to jump on a pole, then the lift, and finally onto the top floor.
  27. 27
    With your barrel, head to the left door and drop the barrel on the heart on the floor. The door will open, revealing lots of goodies: 1x Devastator, Freeze Ray, RPG, Shrink Ray; 1x Beer, Holoduke, Steroids; 4x Laser Trip Mines and Pipe Bombs.
  28. 28
    Take any items you want; the Shrink Ray is useful for the next boss fight.
  29. 29
    Head toward the elevator, push the button, hop in, and push another button to start the elevator and complete the level.

Alternative:

  1. To skip a chunk of the ambush, aim for the elevator quickly.
  2. After dealing with Pigcops on the lower floor, get to the other end of the room and lower the platform.
  3. Jump onto the poles and hop onto the platform. You may take enemy fire; hide to recover your Ego if needed.
  4. Along the balcony, cautiously enter the T-junction and toss Pipe Bombs to the left, where a squad of Pigcops may be waiting.
  5. Take out what you can, then dash for the elevator on the right. Open the door, get in, and close it. The elevator will move, ending the level.
  6. This trick makes the ambush quicker but does not allow for the Companion Barrel achievement or access to the special room with extra equipment.
Tips

  • Use the forklift to drive like a bat out of hell into enemies.
