Roger: Here’s a shortcut when you have to get the car. You can see me do this trick in this video (sorry for the quality, I was being lazy and just filmed the tv screen): I stacked a crate on top of a small health pack, against the door, with the gnome on top:Īfter I went all the way around and got the car, I was able to hit the switch to open the door, and have him fall through (with a little push from the Vortigaunt). Since I knew what was involved, I thought of a little trick to take care of this problem. As I read on the aforementioned blog, you have to be really quick with the gravity gun if you leave the gnome with Alyx here (and you definitely don’t want to take the gnome with you, ugh). This is the section where Alyx mans the sniper rifle, and you go through all the sludge up to the bridge where the car is waiting. Anywhere is fine, as long as you don’t lose him. I set the gnome on top of the antlion repelling machine while I killed the two large antlions. You will be back to heal Alyx, so go have fun getting the larval extract. This also allowed me to keep an eye on him.Īfter the attack is done, LEAVE HIM HERE.
I chose to put it up on the platform, away from the tunnels. Don’t leave it down by Alyx, as it could fall down the elevator shaft. You can leave the gnome anywhere, but I would warn against anyplace it might get hit by an antlion. This means you cannot sprint, and you cannot keep a weapon out (but you can always drop the gnome and your gun will be ready). This part of the game is actually a little annoying, as it consists of a lot of gnome carrying. If you can’t find it, see the gnome location in this video. SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!!Ībout five or ten minutes into the game, when Alyx first turns on a monitor to talk to her dad, the gnome (also known as Trey by some) is under an empty wooden bunkbed, on the floor (to the left of where Alyx climbs up to get the plug). This is not a guide for the whole episode, just some tips on where to safely leave the gnome. The rocket is found well before the end of the game, so it’s only a few hours of play anyway. If you know the game (I assume everyone will have played through this episode at least once before trying this achievement!), you’ll know which rooms you’ll be coming back to, so you can leave him for large sections of the game. There are a lot of battles where you can just set him down somewhere until after the fight. This actually isn’t as hard as you might think.
I had already beaten Episode 2 on the PC, but we just got it for the 360, so I wanted to play through it again anyway (points!).
When I first read about the gnome achievement, I knew I had to do it (partly because it sounded fun, partly because I love Amelie).
