Complete Half-Life Part 37 walkthrough covering sand crabs, land mines, and the Apache chopper. Find the RPG and rockets.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Equip the crowbar and crouch. Swing at the top of a sand pile as it rises to kill the crab before it attacks.
  2. 2
    After securing the perimeter, make noise in one area to draw the tentacle's attention.
  3. 3
    Crouch-walk behind the tentacle. Quicksave, then grab nearby ammo and retreat to safety. Repeat until all ammo is collected.
  4. 4
    To reach the fourth outdoor area, go right from your entry point, past a sandy slope, and crouch-walk through a dark rocky passage. This area has no enemies but is covered in land mines.
  5. 5
    From next to the sign, turn left to the end of the raised sandy ledge, turn right, and move forward to a cactus.
  6. 6
    Past the cactus is a small military supply area. Shoot the ground to the right of the meshy netting with the assault rifle until a land mine explodes.
  7. 7
    Crouch-walk under the netting to find supplies, provided you have not returned to section c2a5w after entering this section, as doing so will make them disappear.
  8. 8
    Past the netting, crouch-walk between two huge rocks and ascend to raised ground.
  9. 9
    Go to an open storm drain surrounded by barbed wire fencing. Get onto the raised ground next to the back of the fence to jump over it and land on the back of the open hatch.
  10. 10
    Move to where you can climb down a ladder in the shaft without taking fall damage.
  11. 11
    At the bottom, break through a grating and move down the tunnel to reach section c2a5a.

Section c2a5a: CLIFFSIDE MANEUVERINGS AND THE RPG

  1. As you near the end of the tunnel, equip the pistol and move slowly forward, looking right.
  2. A marine and a turret are on cliffside paths below. Get to a vantage point where you can see the marine below and kill him with the pistol.
  3. Equip the crossbow, enter zoom mode, and strafe to see the turret. Quickly shoot it down.
  4. If the marine runs out of sight, take down the turret, then sneak-shoot the marine with the .357 before moving to the other side of the ledge and finishing the marine with the pistol.
  5. Get the pistol out again and drop to the ledge below the pipe. Turn left and walk to the edge.
  6. Look down and sneak-shoot the marine on a ledge below yours.
  7. Carefully drop to a small intermediate ledge, then down to the marine's ledge. Take his gun.
  8. Drop to the next ledge in the series. You will take minor health damage. Enter a small cave by running over a rock. Find two health packs and a bullet clip inside.
  9. Crouch-jump back over the rock on its left side, then turn left.
  10. At the end of your ledge, look down and drop to one small ledge, then to another.
  11. Warning: Quicksave before the next drop, as it is onto a very narrow ledge where falling is easy. Strafe right immediately after landing to help stay on, or crouch-jump to the ledge instead of crouch-dropping to avoid the narrowest part.
  12. Crouch-walk to find an armor battery, then a rickety wooden bridge. Crouch-walk along one of the sturdy cables supporting the bridge.
  13. After passing the marine you shot earlier and turning a corner, use the flashlight to see the feet of another marine behind a large metal structure connecting pipes.
  14. Sneak-shoot him with the pistol, then follow the ledge past him to another corner.
  15. Just past that corner is a supply cave with a marine near the mouth. Crouch-walk carefully to shoot him in the foot with the .357, then finish him with another shot when he charges.
  16. Go to the back of the supply cave and pick up the RPG and loose rockets.
  17. The Apache chopper will appear outside and fly back and forth in front of the cave mouth. (It may not appear until you go a short way past the cave.)
  18. It is possible to trick the chopper into damaging or destroying itself with its own missiles, though this is difficult. In original and version 1.0.1.5, move past the cave to be seen by the chopper, then move back and strafe right when it shoots. Let it see you again in the cave mouth before running to the back for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). It may fire missiles toward the cave mouth, damaging or destroying itself. In version 1.1.0.6, this is harder, but it will usually at least damage itself.
  19. It takes two RPG rockets to destroy the chopper (one in SRC). It is easiest to hit the chopper as it flies right-to-left in front of the cave mouth.
  20. After the first rocket hit, retreat to the back of the cave. If the chopper doesn't hurt you with a missile strike, quicksave. If two rockets don't destroy it, switch to the assault rifle.
  21. After the chopper is down, search the supply cave for any remaining supplies.
  22. Start along the cliffside path past the cave. When you reach a ladder, carefully crouch-walk to its front and climb to the top.
  23. Crouch-walk up a ramp and hop up a series of stepping stone ledges to reach the bottom of another ladder.
Tips
  • Use the crowbar's swing on the sand pile to preemptively kill the sand crab.
  • Distract the tentacle by making noise to safely grab ammo.
  • Be cautious of land mines in the fourth outdoor area.
  • Shoot the ground near the meshy netting to detonate a land mine safely.
  • Crouch-jumping can help navigate narrow ledges.
  • Use the flashlight in dark areas, especially when approaching the second marine behind the metal structure.
  • The RPG is found in the supply cave.
  • The Apache chopper can be tricked into damaging itself, or destroyed with two RPG rockets (one in SRC).
  • If RPG rockets fail, use the assault rifle to finish off the chopper.
