they're awful to use. if you land on them, they boost you about 10m up, and you have to reach them kind of on the edge to get a soft landing without going up again. only when you get on the ground and then go in is when you get the full height.
The end boss was just as buggy as the rest of the game. My personal favourite is when his brain doesn't open at all and you just keep shooting him without any effect, not realizing he's glitched. Then you reload from the last point and it's suddenly working again. That's Half "save every 5 seconds" Life.
You have the alien hand, and dodging the mini-suns he fires at you is easy. Also, y'can get y'self a full ammo supply + health at the side chambers, just let him teleport you.
dude theres a health pool cabinet like a minute before the boss fight, and theres health pools and ammo and health packs in both the main fight room aswell as the side rooms
@@Zimbabwae1 Actually it's very useful. The alien hand bullets can knock out the mini-suns Nihilanth throws at you & cancel out the teleport-sphere too.
Have anyone noticed that there are more than 1 sub-level to this map, whenever Nihilanth shoots the green portal thing to u? I had encountered at least 3 different maps, even the 3rd one has Icthyosaurus in it.
@@ricksaburai but for every time that you block it there's a vortigaunt or controller coming at you so why not just get done with it right? And personally I love to play every moment of it, I'm in no hurry to get done with the game when I'm playing and bombing the Gargantuan from a height where he can't get to you is so fun.
@@mystikkrap you get other enemies when he teleports you too lol Once or twice to restock is nice but situational. It's not fun for me to put the boss battle on hold to solve jumping puzzles, neither is deliberately letting him hit me with his attacks, even if it's just a teleport orb. I shot enough creatures to get here, I wanna kill this guy! As for the Gargantuas, I only kill the first (Power Up) and second (Surface Tension). The third one in Interloper is kinda supposed to be evaded, so is the fourth in Nihilanth.
@@ricksaburai personally I see it as more of a nuisance to be dealing with a controller and vortigaunt on the side while also having to hide behind those structures from nihilanth. Maybe it's just me but I like doing things the right way without taking shortcuts. The game developers went through the effort of building those maps so it just feels right to play those out. And once you're done with the 4 of them you can take your time like a surgeon on nihilanth and be more methodical about it without any distractions. Not to mention you do get to restock on ammo in those teleported places. I too evade the one in interloper. But the chance to kill the last one in peace, again just feels right and satisfactory. Final mini boss before the last big one. 🙂
What makes it hard is knowing what the fuck to do. My attempts went like this: 1. blast giant baby, nothing seems to happen 2. kill all the enemies in the portals, nothing seems to happen 3. teleport to the other zone on purpose over and over, still nothing new 4. shoot literally everything. The orange crystals explode but the giant baby still doesn't care. 5. give up and watch a guide Even after watching this guide I'm not sure what the crystals did.
youre fucked. i finished the nihilanth boss fight on 11 hp, no armor... on MEDIUM. and i went through all of the mini areas, too. maybe i just suck idk
May be an easy boss fight, but for me personally it's made hard because the nihilanth is terrifying to me. It creeps me the fuck out and scares the shit out of me
I just beat this game, and Christ, this boss fight is fucking irritating. It makes me long for the days of fighting wall textures in front of John Romero's head. Thanks for giving me the idea to use the grenades from the MP5 though, that really helped.
I understand figuring out to shoot the yellow crystals since the baby derives power from it after taking some damage but How the hell does one figure out that you have to jump on top of the baby and shoot the glowing orb?
But yeah I think they expect you to figure out that since his head is open and there are jump pads, that's you're supposed to get high up and shoot what you see
@@TheLambdaTeamidk if I’m an idiot but I couldn’t figure out the crystals healed it and had to look at a walkthrough besides that it’s pretty straight forward but the green portals are very annoying lol
This boss is problematic because you have to know special tricks to make it easy. Just glue yourself to big rock close to the boss near middle of the arena, use hive hand with right click to kill all enemies and to cancel the green teleporter attacks. If you have ammo for the crossbow, use it to shoot the head of the boss and it will open faster. And if you have alt weapon for the assault rifle (granade launcher) simply jump from the bottom when the head is open and right click granades into the brain until the boss is dead. If you do practically anything else, you'll have miserable time. And save often during the boss fight because the game is very buggy. If the head of the boss doesn't open, try saving and loading the game and the head may be already open. The head is supposed to open when boss gets enough damage but it fails to randomly open and save+load gets the script to re-run again and gets the head open. And the teleporter shots from the boss randomly go through walls every now and then, too.
@@Kaathe249 Yes! It's different in some areas compared to the original Half Life, but the story is basically the same- it's smoother in my opinion, and a lot of things are made slightly harder, or easier.
20 arrows and few magnum shots IN THE HEAD, NOT NESSESARY ON THE HEAD AND THERE GO ANOTHER DIFFERENT ENDING Boss goes on the floor not in the air, that is in source version
honestly, this is the best part of xen for me. after getting your ass whooped by vortigaunts, alien controllers, and alien grunts, with BARELY any supplies and health pickups to make up for it, you finally get to throw it all back at one huge alien. and he even gives you chances to patch up, too!
This is the only part of the game i needed a walkthru for. The rest of the game is so good, pinnacle of game design, but this boss fight made me feel frustrated instead of disturbed and scared
Well that's understandable, but if you're new you should take the time to learn man, a lot of games are like this Also most of us are also kinda cheating by watching a walk through so you're not alone
You don't, really. And the fact they take two rockets to break is misleading, all adding up to bad level/boss design that many criticise this game for towards the end.
When I damaged Nihilanth enough, I noticed he's charging himself up using those crystals. It was pretty self-explainatory that I have to take out the crystals.
Gotta say, this boss fight was real dissapointing. It's really boring compared to the rest of the game, and you don't even face Nihilanth himself for a good chunk of the fight. Probably the only real flaw I have with an otherwise outstanding game.
Your walkthroughs have been super helpful for a few puzzles I couldn't figure out. In my defence, I've only beaten Half Life 1 once and that was way back in 2014. And this game stinks at directing the player (and a bunch of other things, in my very biased opinion).
From the OverWiki: "Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar states that the first part of the Nihilanth's name references nihilism (from the Latin nihil, meaning nothing), while -anth is a common suffix that is related to flowers (such as chrysanthemum) and is a reference to how his scalp peels open like a blossom. Marc Laidlaw admitted that he came up with this name at the last minute."
Wow, the ENTIRE walkthrough list of Half-Life really made me compare it to Black Mesa! I think half life is a great, nostalgia game. But unfortunately Black Mesa made it much better.... (Yes I know it's a remake)
man that boss is easy, literally 2 shots in each the crystals and u only need to hit a jump pad and fire another single one and hes dead, wish it was harder
Yeah that and how fucking confusing it is to someone that doesn't know what to do. Really left a mark on my play through but the game all together was pretty awesome
Probably a bit harder when you don't realize what exactly it is you have to do. I think I looked up this walkthrough after I had opened the head up, 'cause I was already running on fumes and was too fried to observe and think clearly. I didn't even realize there was a second jump pad.
This entire xen was just really frustrating. Bad checkpoints, platforming, and this boss battle. Also this section had a lot of "what am I supposed to do?"
There is only ONE bouncy pad which takes you that high. The one under the highest ledge. There's another on that high ledge, which can take you well above his head.
Don't know why but it keeps sending me these damn green orbs that send me in the last sub-level. It was very painfull, i think this was a bug. (i was on half-life source btw)

Took me 2 hours to finish. Watched this video 3 times and still didn’t understand why he’s damn head don’t open. First you have to destroy the crystals then you shoot at this pos until he have no lights flying around him. Then you shoot more and jump around and I guesthouse head is open then and you shoot the thing inside

Tip for when destroying the yellow crystals, use the crossbow, it takes 2 shots to destroy a crystal and its fast
I'm using the hivehand. Right click firing.
Be sure you got it right in the middle of the crystal

Hi, I’m the next guy and I hate Half-Life
The one thing keeping me from cheating is my pride
After spending several minutes figuring out how to dodge the attacks, I still died constantly because I couldn't get the "craters" to work properly
exactly
I didnt even know I had to destroy the crystals first I was just shooting my all my ammo to this fucking giant flying alien baby for hours
PRO TIP: next time do the infinite health door glitch. Trust me it's worth it
If y'constantly strafe when Nihilanth is throwin' those mini-suns at you, they'll NEVER hit you. Much too slow.

@@wizarddoge4272 ppl are busy bud
I would’ve never even thought about taking down the crystals. I hadn’t even seen them before!

Identifying them is much easier in black mesa. Nihilanth can be observed drawing power from them if you deal enough damage to him.
@@SumitKumar-oc6cd thanks sumit thank you
@@SumitKumar-oc6cd he does the same thing in HL1. Shoot him enough and he’ll spin around replenishing his lost “balls” from the crystals.
Funny...when I saw he is recharging health via those crystals, my first instict was to destroy them. Pretty self-explainatory....
I always end up dying from fall damage when i jump on these things
If you jump into the sludge, you won't suffer any damage tho

This boss is actually easy. What makes it hard is when enemies spawn for avoiding the green portal.

YOUR SUPPOSED TO DESTROY THOSE YELLOW THIGNS????????
Yes, it took me a while to figure that out too. It powers and heals him, so it needs to be the very first things you destroy.
Took me 2 hours to finish. Watched this video 3 times and still didn’t understand why he’s damn head don’t open. First you have to destroy the crystals then you shoot at this pos until he have no lights flying around him. Then you shoot more and jump around and I guesthouse head is open then and you shoot the thing inside
Freeeeemaaaaaaan……
When I first beat this in 1999 it was with 13 FPS🤣🤣🤣
This is the only boss fight of Half Life that i can't beat or pass with the Invisible mode cheat enabled because if i use it I get stuck.
hardest part is i have zero ammo lol cant do much now
Use the alien hand, it has unlimited ammo
i hate this boss so much
Because of its difficulties and looks creepy
I know right! I had to use God mode in order to beat him lazily 😭
I hate this game so much
@@cliff1634 I thought Half-Life 2 was actually fun but this game is just frustrating.
PIKL Creep same 100%
I loved 2 to death in most ways and was really hyped for this, but honestly it was just super disappointing with how high my expectations were
How did you jump so high on the jump thing
there are 4 jump pads... olnly one launches you high enough to get to the nihilanth brain
hey tysm vro
the boss fight is hard to beat him?
I love half life but boy at a certain point I just want to be done with it lol
all he does for me is spam portals and never freezes cmon why me
i menaged to kill him without jumping over his head on my last half life marathon where i beat hl1,black mesa,hl1vr,of,bs,hl2,hl2vr,hl2e1,hl2e1vr,hl2e2,hl2e2vr,hl:alyx should i do more
how did u get so high
Is this possible without ammo cuz I got none
The alien hand has infinet ammo
Rather simple and easy, huh.
The one in Black mesa is more intense and visually pleasing
ohhhhhhhhhhh so it's like the ender dragon
Thx bro
