Half-Life (100%) Walkthrough (Chapter 2: Anomalous Materials)
1,572After disembarking from the tram, Gordon enters the Anomalous Materials lab of Sector C. At the front desk, a security guard tells him of a system crash in the computer network. As he continues through the facilities, he finds out from other scientists that the Administrator is very interested in the scheduled experiment.
Gordon dons his iconic HEV Suit and proceeds to the test chamber. In the control room overlooking the test chamber he meets up with his mentor, Dr. Kleiner, and various other scientists. They brief him on the upcoming experiment. Gordon passes Dr. Vance, who is assessing an equipment malfunction.
Once in the test chamber, Gordon is tasked with activating the anti-mass spectrometer and inserting a crystal sample into the machine. After doing so, something immediately goes wrong; alarms begin to sound, and the anti-mass spectrometer cannot be shut down. A resonance cascade occurs, and as a result, hordes of alien creatures teleport into the facility. Gordon is teleported to several strange places before everything goes black and the chapter ends. As Gordon wakes in the ruined test chamber, Unforeseen Consequences begins.
Anomalous Materials is the second chapter of Half-Life.
In Anomalous Materials, the player gets their first chance to explore the innards of the Black Mesa Research Facility. No real threat is present during this sequence (although falling from a high place may cause harm). This chapter orients the player in Half-Life's world, and foreshadows the coming disaster in several sequences involving equipment malfunctions.
The NPCs encountered along the way will all have nothing interesting to say, which can be learned by the player either by interacting with them or through observation.
