Black Mesa – Mod Walkthrough

Table of Contents

Apprehension

  1. Drive the train forward until you reach a platform on your left. Bail out of the train before you reach the soldiers. The train will derail and explode.
  2. Find the ladder leading down to water, and climb down. The ladder will break and you will fall. Swim through the blocked entrance after breaking the board.
  3. Head down to the water where the train crashed. Drag the barrels floating in the water to raise the broken catwalk by placing them underneath. Cross the catwalk into the next room. Follow the stairs and head upwards.
  4. When you try to walk across the platform above the water, it will break. Fall into the water and swim under to the doorway.
  5. Swim to the next room before you run out of oxygen. Find the broken path under the water again, and make your way to the flooded stairway. Turn the red valve at the top of the stairs.
  6. One valve will explode, but the valve above the stairs will extinguish the flames. Move forward until a scientist is killed by a creature.
  7. Clear the gap in the walkway to the other side of the room. Take the ladder in the closet and find the scientist. Talk to him about the creature, and head to the top layer of the room.
  8. Drop down into the cage and grab the crossbow. The cage will drop into the water. You will need to fight the creature. Once the fish is dead, swim to the metal door under the water. Turn the red override valve.
  9. Swim through the metal door and continue to the stairs. Find the door marked with 2 and open it. Find door number 6 and move through to the drum storage area.
  10. Kill the barnacles or avoid them. Move down the stairs and prepare to kill some enemies. Move through the broken doorway and clear the gap.
  11. Turn left before the stairs and the catwalk will break. Jump across the missing pieces of the catwalk and find the sign for the generator room.
  12. Jump in the water and swim to the next area. Walk towards the generator controls and go up the ladder. Press the button on the console and take notice of the pistons.
  13. Jump across each set of pistons without getting flattened by them. When you reach the next catwalk, continue on until you reach a room with enemies. There will be a scientist who will unlock a glass door and let you inside.
  14. Talk to the scientist who will then open the door to the cold room. The coldness of the room will sap your suit, causing damage. Move through as quickly as possible to the vents.
  15. You will not take damage in the vents. Crouch through until you reach a set of stairs next to a blue pipe. Go downwards and follow the hallway.
  16. Use the elevator and find the security guard. He’ll have a message for you, so listen carefully. Kill the new type of enemies in the bunker. They will be agile, so it is easier to use explosions than accuracy.
  17. Follow the stairs to the second floor. There will be an office with surface access controls. Throw the switch and move towards the metal doors marked with a 1.
  18. Enter a room with health and H.E.V. You will be ambushed by soldiers in the dark. They will apprehend you and drag you down a hallway.

This “walkthrough” sucks. The character cannot even jump at all and many of the puzzles cannot be solved according to what this says. I have had to complete them using other means, such as stacking boxes up to get out of an area because the SOB can’t jump!

Now I am stuck in the sewage area at #15! BS!!! You can;’t avoid them and you can’t slow down! F this “game”

Missing out KNERD, just beat the game and had a lot of fun. the puzzles are headache level hard, but you’ve got to master the ctrl-space jump and shift-jump to solve the puzzles.

i found this walkthrough pretty strange , it seems to be mixed up with the original halfelife , i have got to lambada core and i am going around the cliff, up i go but cant jump any further , this part is not even in the walkthrough , and also agree it is not possible to jump some of the distances (and yes i do know about using the ctrl key) so you have to build a platform with drums and pallets , score out of 100 would be 30 , i wonder if this person has ever played the game ,

@Crusty,

Hey crusty! We’re here to help, but we’re going to need a little more information to solve this problem. Can you list which part of the Lambda Core guide is giving you trouble? Just a number of the entry is fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience! Also, make sure you’re using the Long-Jump Module when that becomes available in the Lambda Core, or Shift+Jump to make longer jumps when necessary. Many of the jumps can be tricky, but if you’ve still got problems, we want to help address them.

ok Kevin Thienhaus ,, fairs fair , first off i’m disapointed because Black Mesa is great in some ways better than original ,. OK where i am at present is “bm_c2a5c” up the cliff where i have to do a massive jump it looks like to get up the top , i will go back in my saved, to start of lamda core and find the long jump module , but from memory when you have passed that , you cant go back , if that is so then you should not be able to bypass it , i’m a bit confused on where the walkthrough is upto (as for me i’m always confused ) but it would be 13 onwards, and where is the part about going around the side of the cliffs ,, A bit of a ramble but i hope you get it

cheers crusty

#29-After activating the override, the water level will quickly rise. Swim towards the entrance and swim up to the ladder.

There is no ladder in the exit hole.

There is no ladder in the entrance/exit hole,so i can’t climb out!

@Jappy,

There is indeed a ladder — the first emergency exit from the sewers will have a broken ladder. Don’t fret, because if you’re going the right direction, toward the opposite side of the door you first dropping into the sewer from, you will find an exit with an intact ladder.

I love the game, but like the others, the character can not jump near high enough. If you could make him jump twice as high—-gosh what an improvement.

Try using your brain KNERD. You might find you actually enjoy gaming that way. Or you may just be better off just watching movies and fantasising you are the main character. This walkthrough is good to get a kick start on areas you get stuck on and Ive found it good. Gives you enough to keep moving but still lets you work stuff out for yourself. Good work guys.

I start generator, talk to the scientist, but after I reach that red button and press ‘E’ to start rocket, nothing happens.!!!
Please help me

@Faisal Aslam,

Can you pinpoint exactly in the walkthrough where you are having trouble?

If it is “Blast Pit” make sure to hit both red buttons. There are two, each in separate rooms.
