I was thinking the track power would be on when you activate the generator (in order to kill the gargantua)... hm, maybe I'm wrong... >>if you mean the switch to turn the turn tabler it does not turn the track >>power on. > > I was thinking the track power would be on when you activate the > generator (in order to kill the gargantua)... hm, maybe I'm wrong... You can't activate the generator, or kill the red nose, without tackling the grunts, activating the pump, and turning on the power (which opens the gate to get to the generator). So he must have done that bit. If the generator is on, so should the track power. You might have saved the game at the wrong point. My memory is hazy but there might be more than one switch? There's one switch to move the track but isn't there another in the room for the power? Dunno.

You can kill the Garg without turning on the power, I usually do it with grenades.

You activated power to the switch but not to the tracks. The area you have to enter to activate the track power is in a room off of one of the main corridors leading from the big area where that huge freaky monster was (or is). Just run around out there and look for a door.

Spoiler for those who haven't got this far yet. S P O I L E R Okay, you broke the box stuck between the pump. You pressed the button in the room the next floor up to activate the power. (There would have been lots of electrical arcs). You went back up and killed the Garg. How did you kill the Garg? Did you get him to chase you down the long corridor and fry him between the 2 generator things? If not, there is a switch on the back wall behind them that needs flicking on. Go to the train, jump on it and press use. Drive it onto the turntable. Rotate it using the switch in the control room. And that is everything. If you have done all this and it still doesn't work, then I don't know what it is. There are no more switches on this level.

If the grid is there blocking one of the tunnels, you need to get through it to turn the generator on. You must have missed something otherwise the grid disappears. So once again, from the top... Aah bugger it, here's a link to a walkthru for the Power Up level.

I seem to recall this problem cropping up occasionally in the past; in fact, it happened to me during one of my play-throughs.

If memory serves, it had something to do with the Gargantua. If you killed him before finishing all the switch sequences, and he wasn't there to follow you to the generator room, the gate wouldn't open. Do you have a saved game at a point before you killed him? >>installed patch makes no difference. will uninstall game reinstall play >>again. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > there to follow you to the generator room, the gate wouldn't open. Do > you have a saved game at a point before you killed him? The gate not opening has happened to me only once before and the red nose was still alive. I think it's too do with trigger points and the associated action(s)/event(s) not completing - possibily because of saving the game at the wrong point in the sequence. Like stopping a heart by thumping the chest at the wrong point in the cardiac cycle. I think most people would instinctively same their game after activating a button/lever.

Allrighty - might be one of the nastier "known" bugs in HL It's a bit technical but here goes You have a couple of methods getting the NPC's to move around a bit One is scripted sequences, the other is setting a path for the NPS to follow and the last is info nodes spred around letting the NPC track you down Now when you have a monster setup to follow a path for a sequence and you save the game during this event When reloading the NPC looses the path - all gone Could very well be some trigger not being activated by mr Rudolf himself I have been messing around getting an apache to spawn on a map of mine No luck due to this error - as the apache needs to have a path (in air) to follow in order to behave as a - well an apache should behave :-) - Peter > Spoiler for those who haven't got this far yet.

And that is everything. Maybe worth noting that if you rotate the turntable before the power goes back on (as I did accidentally the first time through) then you're stuck, AFAIK, there's no way to get the train onto the turntable, so you'll have to restart the level.

Erm- it's been a very long time since I played that level, but you don't have to ride the train to finish it. All you have to do once the door is open is walk along the RH side of the tracks, jump across to the ledge on the RH side at the end, and walk behind the tanks. No crashing, falling into radioactive goo, or jumping from crate to crate needed. Nearly every level in HL that has a train in it can be completed without ever getting on it, as a matter of fact. > Nearly every level in HL that has a train in it can be completed without > ever getting on it, as a matter of fact.

I guess that depends on your definition of fun- for me, it was more enjoyable to sneak around on foot, and figure out alternative ways to finish levels. Same as in RTCW (single player)or Max Payne, I'd rather sneak, hide, and take the bad guys out with a sniper rifle... > Erm- it's been a very long time since I played that level, but you don't > have to ride the train to finish it.
