Im having a hard time with the barnacle bowling. I just don't know where is that part you say with the turret. Is is before getting the boat where there is a bridge and some guys on it? cause I tried there and only killed four of them. Plus I don't get, if I shot only one barrel, but a lot of them explode, will it count as one barrel? Im lost here. Please help.

 

You're on foot. You slide down a drainage canal and immediately hear a chopper coming for you (the first in the game). Turn left run around the walkway past the one barnacle up the step, move the barrel and into the door.

 

It's impossible to miss the area you need to score the achievement. Take the exploding barrel and send it down the middle of the ramp. If it's off to the side it sometimes won't kill all 5. When the barnacle grabs it and starts pulling it up set it on fire about half way up. Don't explode it yourself, let it alone. It'll kill 5 every time and get the achievement.

I can't seem to find Location 1 in Water Hazard for the lambda.

 

I see the lambda and climb up the nearby ladder which leads to the barn but I don't see this gap I'm supposed to jump or the ammo.

 

I ended up knocking down the box on the crane and after breaking the crate in the water my progress is only 9/45.

 

Same here. I'm about ready to call Valve.:p

i did this today but i just pushed it down, let a barnacle grab it then shot the hell out of it. even though it exploded on the floor (or close enough) it still took 5 out as they're close to the floor. so you don't need to be 'that' precise.

Counter-Sniper

5 Kill all the snipers in City 17.

 

You can easily find these guys from the blue laser their gun emites. Just kill them anyway possible. This is pretty much story related. Just lob a grenade in the windows.

 

i think i missed a couple of guys when i went through. does this include the ones when you leave ravenholm? so if i started a checkpoint from the mission after ravenholm and made sure to shoot them all i'd get the achieve?

 

also how many of them just in case :)

Good to know. I did it several times and it didn't unlock. Just one of those things I bet. I know what it is: your have barrels with more explosives than mine.:D

That achievement is unlocked when you kill all the snipers in Chapter 11 "Follow Freeman". You don't have to kill any of the snipers before this chapter.

 

I forget but I think there were 4-5 (someone correct me if I'm wrong) snipers in Chapter 11. When you start the level you'll see one in front of you in the street. The one that is hard to miss is the one guarding the alley before the building on your left.

 

After that I think there is a sniper you kill before Barney tells you to take out the two pinning him down.

 

All of this takes place really early in Chapter 11 so if done right it can be unlocked quickly.

"Radiation Levels Detected"

5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpgGet through the toxic tunnel under City 17 in Half-Life 2.

 

Story related so you can't miss it.

 

Pyroman, bro... are you sure about this one? I just finished Water Hazard and never got the achievement.

Unless is part of a different chapter of HL.

Help me out with this one please :(

 

Btw, any of you have the Apearence Science Achievement? Is god-like to win every gold medal there... at least the time ones U_U

 

PS: The achievement system is kind of... broken... I found around three lambdas that were never added to the count... should we ask for a patch?

It is story related, it has no connection to water hazard though, I don't wanna spoil anything so just keep playing.

Aperature science is difficult to get but study enough videos and you should be able to get it, that's how I got it anyway.

I didn't find said missing symbols but did you destroy the crates near the symbol or made sure the symbol wasn't already found? Thats usually when you miss them.

i think this is for another part of the game. play through all 3 games and if you still don't have it....there you go.

you're sure you hadn't already passed them? and i'm not sure if the count comes up after EVERY one you find - though i could be wrong

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

P.S - Thanks asianxcore i'll run through chapter 11 again tommorow and see if it quickly unlocks it. i was actually gonna play through ravenholm again since theres no chapter start at the end of the mine (end of ravenholm).

Camera Shy Achievement

 

You must start from chapter 1 and go through the entire game and get them in ONE RUN. The counter resets to 0 when you beat the game. Chambers that are not listed below, don't have cameras that can be taken down.

 

Do I need to play the levels that don't have cameras or can I just select the ones that have cameras?

For the achievement "Warden Freeman," it's a lot easier than it seems. When you enter the room with the turrets, simply set two of them up at one doorway, and one at another. I Doesn't really matter since the resistance will throw grenades or beat them down. Now hide in one of the compartments that the turrets were kept in, (preferably one closer to the center so that you can't see the doorways) and take out a revolver or a shotgun. Now after the resistance takes out the turrets, they will start to enter that room. When they run by, quickly take a head shot at them. Eventually you'll have a pile of bodies in front of you, and Alyx will finally come, and you can come out of hiding. It is definitely easier than it would seem.

 

Thought this might help. Good luck.

Hey supac, i just got this one right now in Episode 1 Chapter 2. I got it after Alyx sends you down the elevator and you go solo for the first time. There are easily about 5-8 soldiers there.

I just played through "Under the Radar" and did not incounter the chopper, although on a previous playthrough I definatly running into it, I think it was in a previous chapter though.

 

Are you positive that Under the radar is the apropriate chapter to achieve "Puttin' on a clinic"?

 

Edit. I can now confirm that the "Puttin' on a clinic" achievement is unlockable towards the end of the chapter "Riding Shotgun" and not "Under the Radar"

 

Just clearing that up.
