The gnome was upset at the Combine’s treatment of the Vortigaunts. Eli sent us on a quest to get some kind of weapon from the floating Vault in the middle of the city and the Vortigaunt had told me to follow the Northern Star earlier. The gnome was very interested in our tearful reunion. Their task also included killing anyone unlawfully in the area, which unfortunately meant us! After a long fight, I put the gnome on watch duty to alert me if any more showed up while I grabbed the terminal’s missing computer parts to stop the train carrying Eli. We soon started encountering some Combine soldiers who were sent to the Quarantine Zone to clear it of headcrab zombies. We accepted, but mainly because it was on the way to rescuing our dad. The Vortigaunt in the bowels of the City 17 Quarantine Zone asked us to look for his kin. Luckily his keen eye helped me through puzzles:Īnd I think he put in a good word for me with the Vortigaunts. He winced at the cruel treatment of antlion grubs: He insisted on taking a nap every chance he got. Once we finally got on the train to rescue Eli, I noticed the gnome has a bit of an eclectic personality. (Some may argue that Gordon got short-changed getting the gravity gun instead, but they may be forgetting that the gun can launch objects while Alyx can only use these to launch object as far as she can throw them.) Shortly after messing with those and receiving a gun and ammunition from Russel, he sent you off, optional gnome in tow. There is a sort of patio area next to the courtyard where Russel has you practice with the “Russels” (gravity gloves). With the latest entry in the Half-Life series (since 2011 if you include Portal 2), Half-Life Alyx, well and truly out since March of 2020 and no blog post by Tom about taking the gnome through to the end of the game for the achievement, I have decided to fill the gap at least until he writes one of his own. Tom Francis, writer, game designer, and famous for games like Gunpoint, Heat Signature, and (soon) Tactical Breach Wizards, was once famous (at least in my mind) for his blog posts about taking the gnome through Valve games, first Half-Life 2: Episode Two, then Left 4 Dead 2.
