[HL1] Stuck in Gonarch's Lair

walkerreuben commented 11 years ago

I'm at the point in Gonarch's Lair where you jump onto the little ledge, then down from there, down the tunnel to where you kill Gonarch. The only problem is that Gonarch keeps getting stuck in the tunnel and can't come down.

This bug has been around for ages. The most common work around is using satchel charges and tripmines.

Yes, this definitely could finally be dealt with.

Let giant gonad run ahead of you, then crouch and try to stay in the tunnel. Give it death from above with explosives, you don't lose any health that way since it can't ejaculate high enough to reach you (didn't feel like getting white cough "chemicals" all over my HEV suit anyway).

MrSchism commented 11 years ago

....disturbing.

paul-vg commented 11 years ago

Well, yes. Anyway, it took me quite some attempts to get it right (about 20 times I guess) but the trick is to listen carefully to the sound Gonad makes. When it gets hurt it'll moan and keep doing so until it dies. You better be loaded because it's quite a tough nut to crack.

This problem still exist in 2020... :/ I had to search for the solution, then I found that it was... a bug.

Same here. I thought I've mistaken a thread from 2013 but no, it is still an issue.
