Navigate Part 10 of Half-Life: Opposing Force, including the Meat Locker and vent shafts, and escorting your security guard.
Walkthrough
- 1From a wall niche, kill any enemies inside before proceeding.
- 2Move along beams to enter another vent shaft by bashing its grate.
- 3At the end of the shaft, look into the room and shoot the headcrab.
- 4Crouch-hop over beams and walk on weak ceiling tiles to drop into a secret ammo room.
- 5Take needed supplies, then open the room's door and go left to return to the security guard's location.
- 6Go down the large ramp near the guard and turn right. Do not approach the lower room with crates and barrels yet.
- 7Stay back and destroy the middle crate with your pistol to safely shoot the bullsquid behind the crates.
- 8Go down to the lower room and collect grenades and shells.
- 9Push two barrels up to the yellow floor line to mostly block the path.
- 10Move a short distance past the yellow line to trigger two vortigaunts to teleport in.
- 11Quickly get behind the barrels and shoot the vortigaunts over them.
- 12Go back up the ramp and have the security guard follow you.
- 13Proceed past the secret supply room's open door into a large cafeteria room with a zombie.
- 14Toss a hand grenade at the zombie, then help your security guard kill it and any headcrabs that fall into the room.
- 15At the back of the cafeteria, bash boards off a doorway with the crowbar.
- 16Go down the hallway until section c1a2c loads.
- 17Optional Skip: Lead your guard down the short hallway to the left of the cafeteria that ends in a locked door. Nudge him until he opens the door, then go through to bypass section c1a2c. Note that the guard and zombie that would have been present on the long route will be missing.
- 18Section c1a2c: MEAT LOCKER AND VENT SHAFTS
- 19Around the corner is a room with two zombies feasting on dead scientists. Leave your security guard behind before entering this room.
- 20Toss a grenade at the zombies and finish any survivors with the shotgun.
- 21Retrieve your security guard and have him follow you again.
- 22Use the large lever to the left of the big door near the zombie area.
- 23Run through far enough for your security guard to follow before the door closes. If he doesn't make it, you can use the lever from the right side of the door to open it.
- 24In the meat locker area's first room, go through the large open doors and turn right.
- 25Let the headcrab around the corner see you, then retreat so your guard will shoot it.
- 26Bash your way past the hanging meat.
- 27Look through another large set of open doors to find a headcrab on the floor and one on a high shelf to the left. Shoot them or let your guard do it.
- 28In the large room with three hanging pieces of meat, shoot the headcrab nearby.
- 29A bullsquid is hiding behind some crates past the headcrab. Move to the left end of the black-and-yellow strip in the big doorway, turn on your flashlight, and scan the crates until you see a leg. Shoot the leg until the bullsquid dies.
- 30Move into the bullsquid's area and look for another headcrab nearby.
- 31Find the big red-lit switch on the wall and use it.
- 32Move down the hallway and turn right to enter the back rooms.
- 33A scientist will start running, chased by a bullsquid. Help your security guard take down the bullsquid.
- 34Whack the scientist for ammo.
- 35Look back in the room the bullsquid started in to find bullets and grenades on the floor next to dead bodies.
- 36Return to the starting room and climb the short ladder to get onto a shelf.
- 37At the other end of the shelf, break the vent grating and jump-crouch into the vent shaft.
- 38Break out the other end of the vent shaft and follow the shelves until you reach a moving platform.
- 39Board the moving platform when it passes and break its crates open for armor batteries.
- 40When the platform moves past the vent opening across from where you boarded, get off.
- 41With your flashlight on, move down the vent shaft until you are near a spot where it drops to a lower cross-shaft.
- 42A headcrab will jump up from the lower shaft as you approach; it should miss you.
- 43Carefully edge forward to sneak-shoot the headcrab.
Tips
- When dealing with the bullsquid behind crates, stay crouched while sneak-shooting so it won't see you when it jumps.
- Watch out for the vortigaunts coming around the barrels to get you.
- Have your guard pal stay at the top of the stairs in the cafeteria; go down and forward a bit to get headcrabs to drop, then retreat up the stairs. Repeat for headcrabs at the back of the room.
- The zombie in the cafeteria can open the locked door to skip section c1a2c, but it's more dangerous.
- You can take the guard into the room with the two zombies; he might shoot them while they come after you.
- If your guard doesn't make it through the large door in the meat locker area, you can use the lever from the other side to open it.
- When shooting the bullsquid behind crates in the meat locker, you may want to leave your guard in a previous room.
