Can you beat Half-Life without killing any vortigaunts?

When their only experience of humanity was a crowbar running past them in a steel corridor.
One day I thought about a certain line from Episode 2 and wondered if it was possible to prove the G-Man wrong. How hard would it be to get through the entire Black Mesa Incident without even laying a finger on the vortigaunts? After trying it out I figured it was a pretty fun and interesting challenge and so I decided to make a video on it.
=Some fun facts=
-I recorded almost 2 hours of footage for this video, it took a LOT of takes
-I was originally going to narrate the video myself, but I wasn't happy with how it sounded, so I just went with text instead
-I thought the room near the end of Apprehension would be the part that killed this challenge, but I found out by complete accident that there is in fact a way to get through
-I wanted to have each encounter done in a single continuous take, but Interloper broke me. It was pretty much impossible to do that final room all in the same take. After nearly an hour of trying, I finally gave up and decided to cut between multiple takes.

-the all knowing vortigaunt in half life 2,
technically g-man's line isnt wrong considering you still ran at and then past them multiple times

[@miketherecliner]

Great job. I appreciate the time you put into this.

[@scantyer]

lmao the vortigart opening the door and killing the scientist

[@uchihasasuke3415]

I feel at peace.

[@Theonetrueerenyeager]

Please make this video again but for black mesa, the vortigaunts in that game are even more symphathetic and hard to kill

[@CreepahJacket]

huh, i did not expect this type of video from this channel out of all things, this is really good btw!

[@hovdebjo]

I feel like this would be easier in Black Mesa

[@user-st2ti4wy1w]

Vortigaunts in Half - life 1 are not friendly, like in Half - life 2
.

[@akiraeatsguitarpicks491]

They’re still not malicious in hl1

[@MilkshakeIsCool]

Aren't Grunts apart of the Vortigaunt family, the controllers and the nihilanth are justified by why grunts?

[@TimI94]

6:16 or you can just shoot a smg grenage up which will make the vortigaunts put aside shooting lightning at you and run away first

[@babyjeff]

fascinating video, incredible job

[@Jinbustu]

5:25 no… no t-Theres no way xenians can do that

[@TheoTTG_]

Nice video, well done.

[@thisnameisbad3609]

good vid but i think the dont lead to enemies rule doesn't really make sense when you don't have to save any
also no crossbow does count

[@uchihasasuke3415]

Also try this run in Black Mesa mod

[@EngyneMac]

Now black mesa 💀

[@ezzycrafts]

Awesome

[@user-st2ti4wy1w]

The new name of Vortigaunt is Alien Slave.

[@SirYodaJedi]

Um, old name, rather. They were just called alien slaves in HL1, while HL2 gave them the name Vortigaunt (having been freed from slavery by the Freeman).

[@user-st2ti4wy1w]

But in Half-life 1 vortigaunts alien slaves are not friendly. They attack Freeman also in Interloper.

[@the_noise4]

​@@user-st2ti4wy1wthey attack you because they are forced to. but when you enter the vortigaunt work place they are all chill

[@user-st2ti4wy1w]

My chilhood game half life.

[@somedesertdude1308]
