1. Introduction
================
Finally, Valve updated Half-Life and its expansion Episode One with achievements
coming from the XBOX 360. This guide is normally only for the PC/Mac version
of the game.
I have to mention whaza1's videos on 360 for the achievement lambda Locator,
which are very well recorded and with good music. You can find his videos on
YouTube.
I'm also getting some informations from Combine OverWiki, an HL wiki very well
done (for the description of the achievements and their names):

2. Achievements PC/MAC
======================
Submissive
----------
*Objective: Put the can in the trash.
In Insertion Point, after meeting Barney, you'll end up in another part of the
station. A Metrocop will throw a can to your feet and it's up to you to choose
if you're going to put in the trash or to throw it back on him. Just save before
that for reloading the game for getting the second choice.
In this case, just put it in the trash and you'll be in peace.
Defiant
-------
*Objective: Hit the trashcan cop with the can.
In Insertion Point, after meeting Barney, you'll end up in another part of the
station. A Metrocop will throw a can to your feet and it's up to you to choose
if you're going to put in the trash or to throw it back on him. Just save before
that for reloading the game for getting the second choice.
In this case, throw it on him and prepare yourself for some beating. You
searched it, don't complain because your screen is blank or red.
Malcontent
----------
*Objective: Escape the apartment block raid.
When you're in the apartment block, at one moment, your enemies decide that
there is a problem in it, so you just have to go up till the roof and escape.
And yes, it's story-related, else, it would be game over, no?
What Cat?
---------
*Objective: Break the mini teleporter in Kleiner's lab.
Do you see the mini teleporter on the left of the entrance. This is the one you
have to break. For that, wait until Kleiner opens the HEV suit room. Take a
paper box and put it on the uncovered side of the teleporter (left). Then go
take a computer screen from the dark area, under the windows. Put it on the
box and then make the teleporter work. It should break... Even if you don't
break it, you will still be the one to be in the teleporter when Lamarr breaks
it.
Trusty Hardware
---------------
*Objective: Get the crowbar.
Story-related, besides, if Gordon doesn't have a crowbar (or a wrench), it's not
Half-Life at all. Thanks Barney to have kept one in case of. You get it when you
escape Kleiner's Lab.
Barnacle Bowling
----------------
*Objective: Kill five barnacles with one barrel.
This one is easy to obtain through the sewers. After a fight with cops in the
wooden bridge area (just after the Station 12), you'll come in a slippy
area. Use one of the barrels with danger on it and put it on the slipping
descent. Once a Barnacle takes it, shoot at the barrel to make it explode.
Anchor's Aweigh!
----------------
*Objective: Get the Airboat.
Story-related, you get it when you arrive at the end of Route Kanal, in the
toxic zone. It will be your next best friend for the next chapter.
Heavy Weapons
-------------
*Objective: Get the Airboat's mounted gun.
When you arrive in the Resistance hidden post, after being chased like madness
by the helicopter, the Vort will install a gun taken from one of the fallen
Combine vehicles.
Revenge
-------
*Objective: Destroy the Hunter-Chopper in Half-Life 2.
Story-related again, you just have to destroy the helicopter in the last area
of Water Hazard. Use the mounted gun on it and pay attention to the mines he's
releasing. You have HEV batteries and medikits in boxes nearby.
Vorticough
----------
*Objective: Discover the hidden singing Vortigaunt cave in chapter Water Hazard.
The singing Vortigaunt is the one we call the All-Knowing. When you destroy the
last helicopter in Water Hazard and get the achievement called Revenge, you have
to open the gate to reach Black Mesa East. But for doing so, you have to open
another gate, in the left of the building. Enter that new area and before
climbing to the building (or after as you have Metrocops), go near the two
sewers openings. You can find a barrel next to the rocks in the right for making
a stair to the left entrance. Run until you see an opening in the left, enter
it and go to the Vort. You can reload your health and your HEV there but
remember that the way out is to run back in that toxic tunnel.
Zero-Point Energy
-----------------
*Objective: Get the Gravity Gun in Black Mesa East.
Alyx gives it to you when you arrive in the scrapyard behind Black Mesa East.
What? Yes, you have to take it if you want to continue to play the game.
Blast from the Past
-------------------
*Objective: Find the HEV Suit charger faceplate in Eli's scrapyard.
For those you aren't lucky enough to get it by just walking in the scrapyard,
the old HEV charger is in the left of the entrance, near the washing machine.
Yes, it's above you, jump and you should see it. And for those you just play
HL2 without caring about HL, that old thing is the HEV suit charger from Black
Mesa, back then, when Gordon was crawling into vents, fighting Xen and Marines.
Two Points
----------
*Objective: Use Dog's ball to make a basket in the scrapyard.
When you're in possession of the ball, just send it on the basket-ball panel
next to Alyx. Everything is about angles and luck... Yeah, you have to do it
with the Gravity Gun. Besides, if you do it, Alyx will say "Nice shot!".
Zombie Chopper
--------------
*Objective: Play through Ravenholm using only the Gravity Gun.
Don't even sway your crowbar or it's done for you. Use anything that you can
throw on zombies, shoot with your Gravity Gun on headcrabs and carry at least
a sawblade for cutting your enemies. Use also Gregori's traps, it's very useful.
The Fast Zombies are a problem here, so be sure to carry your saw and to be
at a certain distance of them for cutting them. These enemies tend to follow you
everywhere. When you're surrounded but you have explosive stuff near you and if
your health can allow you, use it. Also for the last wave near the church, you
can either use a blade by tricking the Fast Zombies into the area near the
trapdoor (your cutting device will not fall out of the roof) or to jump on the
balcony below, open the door, run into the room and close the door. When the car
is out, you have just to get out through the trapdoor. For my part, I choose the
cutting way. I didn't carry that thing around not to use it in that final wave.
Don't forget that you still have to use your Gravity Gun in the mines. You can
only switch to guns when you're arriving in the railyard, just after the loading
screen.
Hallowed Ground
---------------
*Objective: Escort Grigori safely through the church cemetery.
Well, if you're doing the Zombie Chopper achievement, don't use guns to protect
Grigori, he can do the kills alone... but you can still use sawblades to cut
zombies. During the Fast Zombies's attack, you can run around for getting them
tracking you and let our priest do his work.
OSHA Violation
--------------
*Objective: Kill 3 enemies using the crane.
You'll be using a crane at one moment for making a bridge falling down in order
to reach the other side of the site. But before that, three soldiers will fire
at you. You can take a container and using as a weapon by throwing it on them
or you can just crush them with the magnet.
Targetted Advertising
---------------------
*Objective: Pin a soldier to the billboard in the chapter Highway 17.
When you get the crossbow..., uhm, wait a second, some of you may miss it.
During your trip on the Highway 17, you'll be blocked by vehicles, trucks and
metal. You know that you have to use the Gravity Gun to clean your way but do
you know that the little hill on your right was the spot for a Resistance member
with a crossbow? Climb, take it, zoom at the building far away in the distance.
You'll see a billboard with a soldier on it. Aim, shoot and pin him.
Where Cubagge Fears to Tread
----------------------------
*Objective: Defend Little Odessa from the Gunship attack.
This is story-related, you just have to defeat the first Gunship attacking you
at New Little Odessa. Three rockets should be sufficient but if the ship
manages to shoot down your rocket, just run inside the house, you'll find ammo.
This victory will count for One Man Army.
One Man Army
------------
*Objective: Destroy six Gunships in Half-Life 2.
When we're speaking about Gunships, just take a look at the icon to recognize
them. It's the ship that you have to defeat in New Little Odessa. You'll find
a lot of them during the game but here is the first six you will meet if you
want to win quickly:
- NLO attack (see previous achievement)
- At the Crane Area (supplies after jumping with your buggy near the vehicles)
- Under the bridge (supplies in the middle of it - after opening field)
- During the Lighthouse attack (supplies in it)
- When you break in Nova Prospekt, after getting out of the sewers
- Same area as previous Gunship, when the first one is destroyed.
Other places:
- One at the Nexus Overwatch
- Two attacking you near the Citadel portal
Keep off the Sands!
-------------------
*Objective: Cross the Antlion beach in the chapter Sandtraps without touching
the sand.
So, when does it begin? After your show at the lighthouse, you'll arrive near
two Resistance members. One of them is moving on the sand and triggers an attack
from Antlions. From that moment, you'll be forbidden to touch the sand, whether
you trigger or not an attack. Don't forget to use any metal panel, any door or
any wooden thing if you need to pass by a large amount of sand. Also, unless
you have a lot of patience, don't go near supply ammo or near places which
isn't in the direct way. You can still come back for them in another game
without achievements to do. Your torture will finish when you reach the cliff
after the thumper.
Bug Hunt
--------
*Objective: Use the Antlions to kill 50 enemies.
Once you get the bugbaits, your next step is to get to Nova Prospekt by the
beach. It's heavily guarded but it's enough for your little new friends, the
Antlions, to kill 50 of them. Just throw the bugbaits on enemies or near it.
Flushed
-------
*Objective: Kill an enemy with a toilet.
During your trip through Nova Prospekt, you'll find in some cells or rooms
broken toilets. Just take one with your Gravity Gun and throw it on a guard.
Warden Freeman
--------------
*Objective: Survive the second turret standoff in Nova Prospekt.
The goal is to survive to one of the attacks of the Combine in D8, where you can
put three turrets to help you. If before, my turrets were killing a lot, when
I got it, my defenses got defeated pretty quickly. If so, just run around by
shooting and when you have a second, just reload health and HEV with the
chargers. You have also a lot of ammo in cells or in boxes.
Follow Freeman
--------------
*Objective: Gain command of a squad of rebels in the uprising.
It's story-related, it's just when rebels are joining you for the fight when you
arrive at City 17 after your little travel through Nova Prospekt. You can gain
it at the train station when people are bringing down the Breencast.
Hack Attack!
------------
*Objective: Kill five enemies with a Manhack.
You can grab the Manhack with the Gravity Gun and run towards an enemy or just
throw it at him. You also run towards the enemy with one on your tail but if
you're hurt badly, don't complain. Try to begin that quest during Nova Prospekt.
You can complete it when you're attacked by Manhacks in City 17.
"Radiation Level Detected"
--------------------------
*Objective: Get through the toxic tunnel under City 17.
There is at one moment a toxic tunnel where your squad can't go. You're the only
one to do so. Be aware that zombies will attack you. Use the round wooden object
for moving around and don't forget to pick up a blade. And yes, it's
story-related.
Plaza Defender
--------------
*Objective: Survive the generator plaza standoff in the chapter Anticitizen One.
Remember the generator? Well, you have to defend it. Or more exactly, buy time
for Alyx to open the gate. You'll be mainly attack from two fronts: left and
right. Don't forget to shoot the ball with your Gravity Gun for opening the gate
and pass it. Alyx will close it and you'll get the achievement.
Counter-Sniper
--------------
*Objective: Kill all of the snipers in City 17.
You can't miss them, as you need to kill them to advance... For killing a
sniper, throw grenades in their windows. You can also waste rockets but with
Striders around, I would not do that.
The snipers in City 17 are located in the area where Barney is stuck - it's the
first area you'll be in Follow Freeman:
- Two in the streets (one behind the trucks and one behind the rumble on the
right)
- One on the first floor of the collapsed building (the floor beyond Barney)
- Two on the floor where Barney is, one on the left and one in front of you.
Fight the Power
---------------
*Objective: Shut down the suppression device by disabling its generators.
It's story-related, it's just shutting down the field that is killing your
followers when you're taking by assault the Overwatch Nexus. The generators are
inside the building and are powered by energy balls. Just shoot them with your
Gravity Gun for disabling them.
Giant Killer
------------
*Objective: Survive the rooftop Strider battle in the ruins of City 17
Story-related, this achievement happens in Follow Freeman!, just before entering
the Citadel. Don't forget to reload in rockets, because the RPG is your best
friend (Magnusson's Devices are only appearing in Episode Two).
Lambda Locator
--------------
*Objective: Find all lambda caches in Half-Life 2.
There are 45 caches through the game, thanksfully, contrary to some achievements
in Episode 2, you don't have to do through one, you can load any chapter if you
missed one. GG means here shoot with Gravity Gun on the door.

Atomizer
--------
*Objective: Disintegrate 15 soldiers by throwing them into a Combine ball field.
This one is only available when you're in the Citadel with the enhanced Gravity
Gun. It's very easy, you have at least two places with Combine ball field (the
blurry column). Just put you in front of it and try to grab Combines coming
in order to put them in the field.
Singularity Collapse
--------------------
*Objective: Destroy the Citadel's reactor core.
It's story-related but if you need to know how to destroy the core, just pick
energy balls and throw them on the two gunships, then, on the base of the portal
which will trigger defense shields that you'll destroy with balls before
launching a last one. You have to do it before Breen arrives.
