Near the end of the first chapter, as you try to make your. There aren't even any enemies involved, just deadly, falling objects. After delving back into the world of Half-Life with Episode 1 recently, I got stuck in the first chapter on possibly the most frustrating gaming section of recent memory. If using shotgun and sub-machine gun against a massive number of zombies in the dark was quite difficult, not using these weapons seems impossible! Half of the time I die, and half of the time Alyx dies. Half-Life 2: Episode 1 - The Elevator of Doom. I tried getting it, but I'm repeatedly failing in this level.

Grenade, crowbar, rocket, and Gravity Gun kills are okay! Now that achievements were added to the PC version, I'm replaying this game, and I thought about The One Free Bullet achievement:įinish the game firing exactly one bullet. (Damn you, massive zombie horde! Damn you, zombies carrying a grenade! Damn you, slow elevator that takes forever! Damn you, flashlight that doesn't have enough battery!)

In my previous playthroughs, I always struggled on this part, and could only survive after a few tries.

In Half-Life 2: Episode One, the last underground level is where Gordon and Alyx find an unpowered elevator, look around for a switch to power it on, and then try to survive the zombie onslaught while waiting the elevator to arrive.
