Detailed walkthrough for Part 58 of High on Life 2, covering the tentacle pit, Grunt Factory sections c4a1c and c4a1d, including enemy encounters, item locations, and puzzle solutions.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the tentacle pit explodes, quickly jump the gap and crouch-walk past the remaining tentacles. If necessary, use a grenade to distract them.
  2. 2
    Proceed past the tentacles to find the exit teleporter.
  3. 3
    Before using the teleporter, use hornets to eliminate the two alien grunts: one in the open, and one behind a rock to the right.
  4. 4
    Loot the area: a health pack behind the large rock, an ammo canister next to the teleporter, and an armor battery near a small rock.
  5. 5
    Enter the teleporter to reach section c4a1c.
  6. 6
    Section c4a1c: GRUNT FACTORY, PART 1
  7. 7
    Find the passage to a large factory area with peaceful vortigaunts. Do not damage them or use any weapons to maintain their peaceful state.
  8. 8
    Turn right upon entering, drop to a lower floor, and collect a health pack and bullet clip.
  9. 9
    Crouch-walk across the room to a lift. Ride it up to the next floor.
  10. 10
    Head down the walkway to the right to find a healing chamber.
  11. 11
    Return to the lift, ride it down to the bottom floor, and jump onto the connecting part to a pole. Ride this up to a conveyor belt.
  12. 12
    Jump onto the conveyor belt and ride it to a ledge around a central support pillar.
  13. 13
    Crouch-walk along the ledge to another conveyor belt. Wait for two barrels to pass before getting on this belt.
  14. 14
    As you near the end of the belt (where barrels drop into liquid), quicksave. Lean backward while falling to land on a ledge in section c4a1d.
  15. 15
    Section c4a1d: GRUNT FACTORY, PART 2
  16. 16
    Immediately strafe left and run forward to drop to the floor near a large barrel.
  17. 17
    Crouch-walk past the right side of the barrel (or run past the left) to a safe dark corner.
  18. 18
    Use the hornet gun to kill the nearby alien controller, avoiding the piston. (Alternatively, use the assault rifle or shotgun when it approaches).
  19. 19
    Crouch-walk next to the barrel to peek left and hornet the vort on your floor, trying not to destroy the barrel.
  20. 20
    Go to the other end of the area to find a dark room with two more grunt barrels.
  21. 21
    In the back right corner, find a narrow passage leading to a dead HEV suit with two armor batteries.
  22. 22
    At the other end of the room, jump to a higher floor for an ammo canister. Before doing so, fire hornets into the dark pit to kill an alien controller. (Alternatively, use the assault rifle at the pit's edge).
  23. 23
    After getting the ammo canister, find a healing chamber to the left. Use it if needed.
  24. 24
    Return to the room with the big barrel drop-down pool. Find the small corner lift on the floor next to the pool's left side.
  25. 25
    Quicksave before riding the lift up. If vorts are present on nearby walkways, quickrestore and hornet them from below before riding the lift again.
  26. 26
    At the top of the lift, move onto the barrel drop-down tank's rim instead of the walkway to bypass an alien-infested area. Be aware of the lift's movement and potential barrel hazards on the rim.
  27. 27
    Move to the left end of the back rim and jump to the rim around the leftmost piston.
  28. 28
    From the piston rim, jump or ride the piston to the walkway on the left.
  29. 29
    Look for vorts to kill, then go to the up-and-down piston in the corner. Ride it down and get off on the upper walkway.
  30. 30
    Go down the narrow, dark corridor until near a doorway blocked by a grunt barrel.
  31. 31
    Sneak-shoot the vort to the left of the doorway with hornets.
  32. 32
    If the vort runs out the opposite doorway, return to the piston, look around the corner, and hornet the vort and another one on the walkway.
  33. 33
    Go back to the grunt barrel doorway. Crouch-walk through the gap to the left of the barrel, firing hornets to the left to kill another vort and an alien controller.
Tips
  • The peaceful vortigaunts in the factory will only remain peaceful if you do not damage them or use any weapons, including the crowbar.
  • When dealing with the alien controller near the large barrel, be mindful of the up-and-down piston.
  • Destroying barrels can release active alien grunts, so be prepared for combat.
  • Quicksave frequently, especially before making difficult jumps or entering new areas.
  • The hornet gun is effective for stealthy takedowns of distant enemies.
  • Be cautious of environmental hazards like toxic liquid and crushing barrels.
  • Progression to the next section (c4a1c and c4a1d).
  • Health packs, ammo canisters, and armor batteries found throughout the levels.
