Gonarch in Half Life: runs away
Gonarch in Black Mesa: *UNO REVERSE CARD*
IT'S SO ANGRY
FOOL! You thought I ran away, but little did you know that YOU FOLLOWED ME RIGHT INTO MY TRAP!
You fell for it, fool!
Acid Cross Headcrab Attack!
*NO U, UNO*
Freeman in Half-Life: Get over here!!!
Freeman in Black Mesa: It's impossible!
Everyone jokes about how the Gonarch does all the chasing in this chapter- But I've personally come to nickname this chapter "The hunter becomes the hunted" when I play- because it does genuinely feel like a constant back and forth on who's in control of the situation, right up until the final fight where you and it are on equal footing- And someone ain't leaving that nest alive.
@@AlfredMorganAllen I feel as though it's less to feel sad and to feel more about... How do I put this.
To me, the sad tone feels more like a sad relief- You're happy you won, but at the same time, you wish you didn't have to kill it. Something that it displays well here is that it knows fear. At the very end it wasn't a battle between hunter and hunted, it was a battle for it to preserve it's life. It's scared at the end, and now it's either you or it.
Alternatively, it's to bring that feeling of otherworldly wonder. Like, what REALLY was that? Is this right, what you are doing? If I recall correctly, it's around this point Gordon realizes the Xenians are fighting against their will. Sure, the Gonarch was just an 'animal', but at the same time... It's sad that rather than studying and preserving this glorious creature, you were forced to kill it because it was inbetween you and the Nihilinth. This creature is just living it's natural lifecycle, and rather than evading it, you're forced to dispatch it- it's scared. It's scared of YOU.
You're an invasive species disrupting Xen's natural order, just like they are disrupting your world's natural order.
But you have to continue.
You HAVE to continue.
The Nihilinth must be stopped.
No matter what you need to kill to do so.
@@AlfredMorganAllen ...Damn. Didn't know that. That is rather sad.
@@AlfredMorganAllen It's a matter of the fact that you are an alien invading it's home, killing it's children, trudging through it's lair, destroying it's nest. You're not the good guy in this situation, even if what you're doing is supposed to be for the best. The Gonarch is only protecting itself and all it has, and you kill it. It didn't ask for any of this, but much like Gordon Freeman himself, it was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Half Life: You chase Gonarch
Black Mesa: Gonarch chases you
yea...i mean the original one is encourage....right?
Guau you comment is good :u
Bad english :'l
Don't understand D:
In Soviet Mesa Gonarch chases you ?
Why is is badass, I’m literally fighting a testicle in space with rockets
How exactly does this not sound badass?
@@FiksIIanzO I think he's asking how CC were able to make something as ridiculous as fighting a testicle monster in space with rockets so badass. It's a compliment.
@@cousinvinnie6222 His sentence is wrong. It's either "Why is this badass" or "why is this so badass". Occam's razor suggests the former.
My comment wasn't even negative, why so serious lol?
Because blasting extraterrestrial testicle with rockets is badass.
Xen is not space, it is a gap between dimensions.
* Gordon flies across the arena into a wall *
*MAJOR FRACTURE DETECTED. EMERGENCY! USER DEATH IMMINENT!*
Into a wall? Hah, good joke.
You have no idea how many times that Fuc*king little bastard threw me away into the void :( haha at least you have a chance when you hit the wall with a couple broken bones xD
no problem, just administer morphine
HEV: USER DEATH IMMINENT
Gordon: Not a chance
Gonna be honest with you....This might just be one off the best soundtracks i have ever heard in a video game
Ok look, I have to be real with you.
You're correct.
@@tripleb5197 I dont know There are ALLOT off really REALLY REALLY GOOD SOUNTRACKS but there is no way in hell this doesnt make it to the top 20 for me or something.
agreed FEAR replica
It's up there with Doom Eternal and Ori for me.
the hunting and internal conflict is fucking top 15 in video game soundtracks
Common Sense: You can't make the boss soundtrack just trailer music.
Black Mesa: That's where you're wrong, kiddo.
Except that's the wrong soundtrack all together M8. Internal Conflict is the one you would be looking for.

Too bad this track sucks majorly compared to the original. Kind of pathetic given how much time they had.
@@Dorian-_-Gray It's okay to be wrong.
@@Dorian-_-Gray what?!!!!!no surprise that ur comment has no likes
i mean the original is good for where it plays but this is better
Xen looks absolutely incredible.
Heck yeah it does
It's like Half Life: Alyx levels of quality before Half Life: Alyx was even a thing
Comparing to half life 1? This is insane.
I don't like it that much. Yes, is way better than the original in gameplay, level design and graphics but it's missing most of that lovecraftian cosmic horror aesthetic where you see yourself inside an alien structure that you thought it was made out of rocks but reminds you of metal and it looks like it is build with giant bones or veins and it works like a factory where living things are being created.
Don't you feel like all that new flora actually makes Xen feel kind of generic?
Just like Planet Pandora from the movie Avatar, it is visually amazing and the floating islands are cool but the only unique thing about that planet is how the na'vi can "connect" themselves via tail.
@@Agustin_Leal "Don't you feel like all that new flora actually makes Xen feel kind of generic?"
No, and the 'Lovecraftian horror' aesthetic of the original was a joke. A really ugly joke that played very very poorly in most parts. Even Valve admitted their Xen kinda sucked.
Reminder: the Gonarch was effectively the brood mother of the Headcrabs. And how many Headcrabs has Gordon killed up to this point?
To Gordon, he was a scientist fighting an alien monster that stood between him and saving Earth.
To the Gonarch, she was a mother fighting an alien monster that murdered her children.
i unironically love this comment and cannot stop coming back to this video just to read it.
Fair, too bad headcrabs are parasitic in nature. Therefore basically everyone has the right to hate them.
They are waiting for you, Gonarch... in the spawn chamberrrr
Hijos que enviaba a destruir vidas de civiles de maneras horrendas en otros mundos y a destruir sus ecosistemas locales. Rufian. Nunca fue una Madre, tan solo fue, un Arma Biológica de lo poco que quedo de la antigua XEN.
the children attacked children first so.. and for some weird reason, their bottoms are configured in the shape of a top of a human head so.. hmmm thinking..
"Is this God?! Am I fighting God?! Is this what God looks like?!"
Yeah, leave me alone! I'm a sinner, whatever! I'm not ready for your truth!"
Oh boy get ready for the Nihilanth
NOTHING IS IMMUNE TO EXPLOSIVES!
where did you hear that?
@@michaloid8351 ruclips.net/video/nOYwSwADVxs/видео.html
you can almost feel Gonarch's pain in this track, she is manipulated by Nihilanth, but still fights valiantly but is no mach for Gordon in the end
Lukas Skliuderis You can feel Gordon sympathize with a creature he has no choice but to kill, for they both were merely trying to defend their respective homes from alien invaders.
Well she can't save unlike Gordon, so....
"No match". My friend, I probably died more than 100 times during the fight. Yes, often because my rockets got intercepted by acid blobs/minicrabs right in front of my face and I got bloweded up, but still... Yes match. If "Edge of Tomorrow" was Tom Cruise learning to fight the Gonarch the movie would be twice as long.
I love how melancholy yet intimidating this song sounds.
Especially when you know that the Xen aliens are just being used by a greater evil and didn't necessarily choose this
And if what I've seen on channels that theorized the life cycle of headcrabs then the headcrabs were close to extinction. They require a host to become a gonarch, that was possibly the last one. If it was close to extinction then that may explain the fact that it was highly aggressive. It may of acted similarly to the queen in aliens, only getting aggressive once it's young were in trouble and would of relied on it's servants to kill. If it was close to extinction because there were no suitable hosts in xen, then that is sad.
@@silkenemperor In the Half Life 2 beta, you were supposed to find the Gonarchs "headcrab sack" in the mines after Ravenholm. So the combines probably keep some Gonarchs to breed headcrabs and use them as weapons, such as the fast headcrab and poison headcrab that are engineered by the combines.
@@vitalixy3578 I have heard of this but is there any information on how long it takes for a headcrab to become a gonarch. Because as far as any one could tell this was the last gonarch.
@@vitalixy3578 wow, is that true? Fast and poisonous headcrabs are actually synths and not just other species?
@@PlgDctr Yes, considering that the combines are farming them and using them as bio weapons and launching them on rebel bases. That suggests that they are modified by the combines.

@Dexty... thank you
pretty much yeah but At some points i wish they kept the original
not here of course
this track is so fokin fire
Hans Zimmer is worried.
Hans Zimmer is _proud._
@@FiksIIanzO Nein. Hans Zimmer wonders why there are no Holst or Dvorak "tributes" therein
Pretty sure mate
He must worry
remember cinematic mod
First time I fought her I was on the ropes the entire time. Dying left and right, almost as much as the first couple times through Surface Tension (I refused to lower the difficulty).
In the end I had no ammo, low health, and still hadn't killed the damn thing. The music blared as we exchanged blows, me desperately whacking that sack with a crowbar and barely managing to dodge her last attempts to end me. Killing Gonarch with a crowbar made me feel like a true master of this game's systems, the Nihilanth didn't stand a chance after that.
All it's missing is "...done... what have you... done..."
oh, it's there
After the battle.
@@JaleSwiftpaw I was talking about the video, but since you guys wanted to talk about it: I hope they patched that voiceline in last week, because I killed Gonarch in the public beta and Nihilanth just did NOT seem to care
@@TARINunit9 well the sound bit plays only when you load the chapter 'Interloper'
@@TARINunit9 oh, I didn't even realise that
you know
being terrified of having been chased by a giant aggressive alien
I've played this game over 500 hrs and still listen to this track weekly. They really honored HL well.
I can confirm that because I see you on every comment section about Black Mesa and its soundtrack, like me I guess 👀 🤣
6:40 it reminds me SexyNutella synching his pistol reloads to the beats lol
@@AndersonMallonyMALLONY-EricCF Great minds think alike 😬. I love Sexy Nutella vids too. Definitely took some inspiration with the music syncing.
This soundtrack is longer than actual Gonarch's Lair chapter in the original Half-life =)
The Black Mesa rendition of the Gonarch's Lair chapter is longer than the entirety of all Xen chapters in Half Life.
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 You're not kidding. Hell, a good chunk of the tracks for Xen are dedicated to the Gonarch's Lair.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 Yeah I think the BM Team wanted to do justice to Big Momma. She IS a hell of a boss.
@@jeanscuissiato135 Its better than just "hey big alien let's chase it" the big alien is supposed to be the one chasing you that's why getting chased by those Garantines are still to this day original or Black Mesa are terrifying because you literally have something that can catch you in three to four steps right behind you.
When this music plays, you understand why she is the _Big_ _Momma_ in Xen.
Can I correct your mistake? The headcrabs not have a gender, so there is no gender in the gonarch. headcrabs are born from a fully mature headcrab and it's gonarch.
@@elitemetropolice4551 Yeah, yeah, figure of speech.
As usual, internet translations suck.
It's natural to give it a gender because a creature that spawns others is typically female. And Gonarch was referred to as Big Momma by the original Half Life devs.
@@xshullaw I agree with you...but seahorses want to know your location. :3
Unrelated note;
Let's wait for the Waifu version of her.
@@elitemetropolice4551 I always saw her as the "Queen Headcrab" myself, considering how she's basically a walking eggsack that spawns babies everywhere. So she's always been female in my mind.
8:12 Gives me chills everytime
Agreed! I feel like the soundtrack really does a phenomenal job at making you feel outmatched in what seems to me like a "cat and mouse" chase.
This game is an absolute masterpiece, Xen was perfection.
0:00 *when you arrive in gonarchs lair/Lair*

10:42 *the finale battle with gonarch/internal conflict*
Thanks, man
@@bean_boy4511 no problem!
Lair was used on the Crystal Cave section. Not on the beginning of the fight. It sounds similar though.
first of the song: chill, lets go to xen with this teleporter
second part of the song: WHAT THE *beep* IS THAT (Gonarch appears)
third part of the song: RUN DAMMIT RUN (Trying to catch Gonarch but the monster goes the uno reverse card)
last part of the song: OKAY @"#$ YOU MOTHER OF HEADCRABS, EAT MY ROCKET LAUNCHER (final battle)
I've been playing video games my whole life, and no other moment has ever felt more intense or intimidating. As another commenter put it, this is the moment where "the hunter becomes the hunted."
I had chills during the entire Gonarch encounter... which is so incredibly rare with gaming. Maybe it sounds weird coming from a grown man, but this music and the scenes involved had legitimately triggered an emotional response in me - it was perfection of entertainment at the personal level. Truly, the Black Mesa developers poured an insane amount of care and love to give myself (and hopefully others) what we secretly want to feel in this medium. I was taken away and forgot about reality, living a moment in the life of Gordon. Fucking unbelievable what good design and music can do. Doom 2016 and Eternal, you hear that? You have a new sibling.
This was a hell of a boss fight. I played it pre-nerf and it felt so rewarding to kill this thing.
THERE WAS A NERF????
@@lynxsie4285 Yeah they took the Gonarch's HP down by about 500. It was a MUCH harder fight before -- still is hard. I personally prefer to play on Hard in Half-life games though.
@@SarethZhukov314 now I wonder if I played it pre- or postnerf. Took me like several full ammo loads of rockets and dozens of reloads on Hard.
@@lynxsie4285 best response I've ever read!
What difficulty did u play on?
It isn't the same without it crashing its way behind you and the constant screams of terror as it slaps you forwards as you slam into a world object and taking away half your health.
Or was that only me...
or you try to boost sideways and it smacks you mid air, launching you out of the game world
And then your boost ran out.
Major fracture detected
Oddly specific but yes. Really not the same
i did this one while on call, i knew what was coming just from the ammo drops for rockets and the ambience. id already played half life and the area looked vaguely familiar too, so like, i was expecting the gonarch to come. i was NOT expecting her to charge into the teleporter and send me flying and panicking trying to stun her for even a moment of a break. and then the whole part where youre doing platformers and you can hear her screaming is so goddamn good, her sound design sends me i stg. kept making jokes about her being a karen at starbucks but every time i heard her i paused. her ferocity and strength really tie her together as an angry protective mother
I’m sorry, did I just hear that a 20 foot testicle spider has it’s own theme?
It had it's own theme in HL too I think
Sub 2 Pewds hmmmmmmmmnnmnnnnnmnmmmmmmmmmm
@@SubPewds-ut6is in HL we called Jungle Drums
I get it, it's a testicle spider and it's hard to take it serious. But it's way deeper than it looks if you think about it. It's a mother defending her homeland and her children.
@@lyrichub2770 I mean she does throw her children at the player but we can argue that her species reproduce by the thousands and has low chance to survive to adulthood so it works out. Just like real spiders actually except the throw your children at prey part.
Gordon in Half Life: Why are you running
Gordon in Black Mesa: Why am I running
I just got to the part where you fight gonarch and all I can think about is how fitting this music is, not only for the battle but for the whole Xen portion of the game, as well as the series as a whole. Almost like it felt like the whole battle was being watched by the combine the whole time (which it probably was). It also kinda got me thinking about how just about everyone were puppets to the Combine in one form or another. Kinda weird how music works, especially when it comes to context.
Combine was probably busy taking over some worlds and shit, they ain't got no time to watch a testicle fighting a Nerd with a plot shield
@@noeltlalka6476 I'm gonna use "nerd in a plotshield" all my life! thanks for the idea XD
@GreenTea💚 not really since in hl2 episode 2, we managed to close the portal
@GreenTea💚 and freed earth of inslavement
@GreenTea💚 yeah but it may be a long time before the combine find another way to travel to earth
This the most intense encounter in gaming history ! ... so perfectly done in Black Mesa !
Forcing you to dodge with the Long Jump was an excellent choice on the part of the BM devs

8:15 My fav part
Good shit.
i found the track its called The hunting
yes. the goliath run music
Sorry, what is the name of this track?
@@diav333l8 is the hunting
Oh boy gonarch was so scary that I was screaming while it was chasing me
Luckily this music gave me strength to fight it
don't worry, we were all like you lmao
My first playthrough on black mesa:
"oh you're gonna run like you did in HL, get back here!"
*few mins later*
"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK"
Did anyone notice at 6:40 that they incorporated Drums and Riffs?
THIS is the stand out moment for me in the entire game. Earth was kinda cool, first zen moments were breathtaking, but the entire Gonarch sequence and it's soundtrack will forever be in my memory as one of the most legendary parts of a game I've ever played.
exactly man, i feel the same way. Without this music the fight was a mile worse.
That moment when fighting basically a giant crab-testicle monster is more exciting and epic than the entirety of all the time I spent playing Halo while growing up.
damn, this music just makes me wanna go through complete Black Mesa again. And I will.. awww sh1t Here we go again - meme :)
After I first finished black mesa, the first thing I did was start a new game lol
@@Rylai_xiv same, I'm on my third play through and I only beat it the first time 3 weeks ago
Me too
AAAAAANNNDD HERE WE GO AGAIN, God damnit!!! I somehow think Black Mesa is something like a safe place for me, to go back to when I am down or something
OH SHIT here we go again, this music .... man, I keep listening to this for all these years.
I can't tell you how happy I am as someone that grew up with an indirect understanding of what HL1 was to only recently play through this master piece of a title. HL2 was my real first entry to the series and I played it to death, but I dropped off around Lost Coast/Ep I. I just recently played through HL2, then Ep I, then Ep II, and finally gave Black Mesa a go since it's been sitting in my library for ages and I finally got curious enough to really play through it.
It's the best experience out of any HL game.
...and this MUSIC. Ugh, literal goosebumps. The first Xen experience...no, even more, the first Gonarch appearance with 'Aliens' blaring through my headset... it was so emotional and well done. I didn't mind really any of the Xen portion and wish there was even more. Such an unforgettable journey and now one of my top 10 campaign experiences overall. I seriously hope we see more from Crowbar Collective and Nielsen.

My Mass Effect instincts kicked in and I started looking for Reapers 😅
3:45 definition of fear

for the gonark
Internal Conflict is one of the best of the Black Mesa OST to be honest.
Edit as of May 1st: Reflecting back at what I said, they are all good in there ways to listen. I really liked “Forget About Freeman”, “Ascension”, “Surface Tension 2”, “Shadows of Death”, and way too many to count. Besides Joel Nielsen really nailed the entire soundtrack of Black Mesa.
I have never had my ass kicked harder by a HL boss, and I loved it
oh man, black mesa is simply incredible. the world beyond is amazing
They've really showed how it should've been be in canon Half life!
sadly, Valve had no time enough to do that...
This is my favorite moment in the game and it was epic as FUDGE!
This creature was the longest-for-kill and strongest-to-beat nemesis i've ever fighted... and it was a big smile on my face when i was finally dealt with it!
daaym.
Lol chill man, valve not only didn’t have enough time, they also didn’t have technology to do this, what valve released in 1998, it looked like black mesa today or even better 😁I remember playing HL in 1998 and damn I was blown away
beautiful beautiful..... overall amazing track tho my favorite part is @8:15 mark. where it picks up. The track kinda reminds me a lil bit of farcry 3
Now feel like im in Jungle
Me: PREDATOR
I really like that except the other songs. I don't like this heroic epic music soundtrack but this is.. mysterious, dark and unknown. Fits perfekt to Xen.
@LUMPY Human vs Mother
Joel Nielsen, thank you for the best music of the great battle. 8:15 so epic, my mind: let’s replay, please

me: searching for the part of the song with the cool jungle drums
song: 11:04
tbh residue proccessing sounded a lot like a homage to jungle drumbs but it was dump in a platforming section with few enimies and it made no sense tbh
masterpiece...不管是配樂還是關卡設計都非常驚人，大大超越了原版的遊玩體驗，尤其是最後的xen
Putting pathos and suspense into a battle with a champion testicle is serious artistry.
Gonarch in Half-Life: Orange man scary :(
Gonarch in Black Mesa: GET BACK HERE YOU MORTAL PIECE OF S-
Simplemente, Arte
"Ninilanth" "Freeman What You Done"?!! At Interloper level
Man I was so impressed by this game, this boss fight accompanied by the music was insane and a challenge but not too challenging to the point it becomes annoying!
The game's best moment imo when Gonarch emerges from the ground with this track behind him.
Even listening to this at least two years after I played through Black Mesa, I get chills even just remembering the emotional response this song brought while experienced for the first time in the game. Of all the games I have ever played, this is by far the most powerfully remembered moment of video gaming I have ever had.
It's the kind of sound that sends shivers down your spine it's so perfect.
Fun fact: gordon is fighting with ADULT headcrab. While all other average sized headcrabs is just a teens.
As someone else said on a different video, "What I like is that the music fits no matter what.
Fight the Gonarch: Tragic yet epic duel to the death
Cyanogen: Dark Triumph of Science!
Mercy: Well-earned moral victory"
dude, you WANT to fight Gonarch with this song, omfg, GONARCH LETS HAVE A GODS FIGHT
Xen in Black Mesa is hell from Doom 2016 but with crystals
If Doom is remotely like this I think I'll love it completely and utterly
Doom has way more gore tho and faster pace. I think black mesa xen is meant for the surroundings and atmosphere to be taken in by comparison
This is such a beautiful song, whenever I play I imagine that’s gonarchs voice singing
That's poetic... and disturbing
In the game we basically killed gonarch for no reason we were on her land and she was trying to protect her children
And how is it poetic?

That would be awesome if they did, although seeing as Crowbar Collective didn't take the time to add in Shepard near the end of the Lambda Core Finale as a nod to Opposing Forces, I think it's safe to assume that Crowbar Collective may not believe that Opposing Forces is canon, which is sad.

I remember Gonarch hitting me so hard, I thought I'll fly back to Unforeseen Consequences.
This is one of the best bossfights in any game i have ever played - and its a bossfight with a giant space testicle! Everything, the initial fight, the way it charges at you, hunts you during the whole mid-fight, all the chases and then the final showdown going all out, and oh my god the music with it - i really can't recall any other boss that got me hyped as this one. This is how you do a remake.
The angle and the placement of the camera really makes it look like that this technological object is part of this creature's armor.
just finished the game and I realized how acid the Xen part is. Feels like dark trip on LSD ...
3:44 filling the bucket with feels, get ready to pour it all over the place
Ironically throughout the chapter (Gonarch's lair) it got stuck 3 times where it would just sit and look at you when there's nothing between you and it I guess it was a bug
¡El mejor tema que e escuchado! Larga vida a gonarch
Una madre ejemplar :v
Que se vaya a la mierda :v
valve employees: "why don't we put a big ballsack on a crab?"
Gabe: "good idea"
the brass is so epic along with the adlibs
“You’re not going anywhere young man!” -The Gonarch if it can speak
I liked the xen battles but I have 1 problem, the puzzles where much more trickier to solve with most of the props blending in with the wall textures. Combine that with the mass amount of puzzles, it just got confusing.
At 8:15 put it on 1.5x speed
No thanks, I'm good.

This becomes such a bop once the percussion really hits
Perfect music to fight a spider with cartoonishly big bollocks.
to orchestrate such a stunning boss fight (CrowbarCollective: well done) with THIS soundtrack: - GOD like !
Music didn't play for the final fight with her (bugged out, tried restarting but didnt work either), so I came here to play it myself. God DAMN this is such a great track
Best workout tactic run in a big open field to this track
I just realised that the added drums in The Hunting are the same beat as the Gonarch’s original theme from HL1, fucking incredible.
8:10 Wow Nice!
