Navigate underwater openings, avoid flame vents, and use C4 satchel bombs to clear hazards in Half-Life: Opposing Force Part 32.
Walkthrough
- 1Dive down and go through one of the two small underwater openings.
- 2Surface in the next area and move along until you turn a corner and see four flame vents in pipes above you.
- 3Crouch-walk past them to avoid damage, standing up very briefly if you get stuck while crouch-walking.
- 4Continue crouch-walking until you are past the big underwater roller gadget.
- 5Swim quickly for the area on the right where you can surface and breathe again.
- 6Get up onto the floor to find yourself in a room with a first aid station. The door past the stairs in that room leads back to previous areas.
- 7Get back in the water and swim on.
- 8You will soon surface in a room that has three conveyor belts with small mashers over them.
- 9Turn left and jump up onto the ledge.
- 10Get out your pistol and look through the nearby window.
- 11Shoot the bullsquid you can see through the window until it is dead, jumping right before each shot if you need to. Crouching briefly after each jump-shot can help you avoid the squid's spit.
- 12Cross to the ledge on the opposite side of the water to get a .357 Magnum.
- 13Enter the bullsquid's room and find a first aid station, two C4 satchel bombs, and two armor batteries. Grab both satchels.
- 14Leave the room and go along the ledge to find the conveyor control panel in the room at the other end.
- 15Quickly run into the room, hit the middle switch on the control panel, and run back out before the nearby bullsquid can spit on you.
- 16Go over to the window in the dead bullsquid's room that has a button panel next to it.
- 17Watch the two mashers above the rightmost conveyor belt to get a feel for their timing.
- 18Hit the button when they are both up, then quickly run to where you can jump onto that conveyor and crouch-walk under the mashers. Quicksave before you try.
- 19As soon as you are past the mashers, uncrouch and run along the conveyors until section c2a4c loads.
- 20When you come to the end of the current conveyor belt, carefully drop down onto the next one.
- 21Ahead are two hazard areas with mashing machines: first horizontal piston-style mashers, then vertical stomp-style mashers. Study each one to know when to run by. Quicksave before you start and after passing each set.
- 22After you crouch-walk past a spot beyond the last masher, look for a conveyor belt below the one you are on to drop down to.
- 23As soon as you are on it, turn and go against its direction of movement until you reach a spot where you can move across to a parallel conveyor belt.
- 24Hang back on it while looking ahead for a laser tripmine. Carefully shoot it out with the pistol before getting very close to it.
- 25Walk along the conveyor until you are stopped by a cross-conveyor.
- 26Get out your C4 satchels and toss one onto your conveyor after quicksaving.
- 27Wait until it reaches the corner ahead, then detonate it to blow up the tripmine around the corner.
- 28Crouch-walk under the cross-conveyor and check for the tripmine. If it is still there, quickrestore and try again.
- 29Once the tripmine is eliminated, go into the big room with the large rollers.
- 30Near the first roller, jump over to the conveyor on the left.
- 31Near its next roller, jump back onto the right conveyor.
- 32Quickly crouch down as you approach the tunnel that the conveyor is going into, then crouch-walk forward until you reach the next room.
- 33Quickly strafe right off of the conveyor and get into the nearest corner.
- 34Wait until the mash-jaws in the middle of the floor are opening, then run forward to where you are next to them.
- 35When they close again, crouch-walk onto them and allow yourself to drop down when they open.
- 36On the conveyor belt below the jaws, turn and move off the side of the belt onto the metal walkway.
- 37Walk over to the ladder and climb it.
- 38Go down the red-lit corridor until you reach the "Questionable Ethics" chapter.
- 39At the end of the red-lit corridor, climb the ladder as far as you can, then bash the grate.
- 40Turn around on the ladder to where you can see a houndeye, then throw your last C4 satchel toward him while looking upwards. The satchel should land on the floor near the houndeye.
- 41Climb back down the ladder and move forward a bit, then detonate it.
- 42Get the crowbar ready, then climb up the ladder and into the room above, ready to quickly whack any surviving houndeyes.
- 43Grab the box of .357 ammo from the middle of the floor.
- 44Go through the open gate to find a first aid station near an open door.
Tips
- Crouching briefly after each jump-shot can help you avoid the squid's spit.
- Quicksave before attempting to time the mashers on the conveyor belt.
- Quicksave before you start navigating the conveyor belt maze and after passing each set of mashers.
- If the tripmine is still present after detonating the C4, quickrestore and try again.
- If you drop carefully enough onto the mash-jaws, you won't lose any health from the fall.
- When dealing with the houndeye, wait if necessary for it to turn its back to you before tossing the C4 satchel.
