Complete High on Life 2 walkthrough for Black Mesa Inbound and Anomalous Materials, including the tram ride and G-Man encounter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the game with the long tram ride to Black Mesa. You do not need to perform any actions during this scenic journey, but you can observe the surroundings.
  2. 2
    Near the end of the tram ride, you will briefly stop next to another tram containing the character nicknamed "Briefcase Bastard" (the G-Man).
  3. 3
    After the tram ride concludes, wait for the security guard to open the door. Exit the tram and follow him to another large reinforced door.
  4. 4
    Proceed through the door and approach the second large door, then wait for the "Anomalous Materials" chapter to begin.
  5. 5
    Enter the next area and approach the desk with the security guard. After his dialogue, look down at the desk and press the "Use item" key to sound an alarm briefly by pressing a hidden button. (SRC: You'll have to go around to the other side of the desk to press the button.)
  6. 6
    Interact with the communications console in the corner to the left for potential humorous interactions.
  7. 7
    Proceed down the large corridor with colored stripes on the walls.
  8. 8
    After turning a corner, you can optionally visit a computer room to your left.
  9. 9
    Follow the brown wall stripe past several rooms until you reach a guarded door. You can attempt to listen to the G-Man's conversation or turn off lights in another room for amusement.
  10. 10
    Return to the corridor junction and head towards the small downramp to reach section c1a0d.
  11. 11
    Turn right past the ramp and follow the green wall stripe to the break room.
  12. 12
    Approach the microwave oven and repeatedly press the "Use item" key while facing it to cause the microwave casserole inside to explode. (Note that this bit of hilarity will earn you a reproachful comment f)
Tips
  • Duck jumping (called "duck jumping" in-game) and crouch-jumping are essential movement techniques required in many areas of High on Life 2.
  • Crouch-running (moving while holding the "Duck" key but not the "Walk" key) is often referred to as "crouch-walking" in this guide. True crouch-walking (holding both "Duck" and "Walk" keys) is much slower and usually not necessary.
  • Sneak-shooting involves attacking unaware enemies by targeting small, exposed parts of their body. If the enemy cannot see you due to obstructions, you can continue sneak-shooting until they are defeated.
  • After acquiring the hornet gun in the "Surface Tension" chapter, it can be used for sneak-shooting around corners, through ceilings, and under walkways without direct line of sight.
  • A glitch may cause you to freeze on lifts or elevators. To break free, crouch and move. If you are already crouched when the glitch occurs, you may be unable to escape. Avoid crouching on moving lifts. Briefly crouching and standing, or jumping just before the lift stops, might help prevent this glitch. (SRC: This glitch never happens.)
  • Dead bodies in High on Life 2 are invincible and cannot be splattified using the crowbar. (SRC: Dead bodies are invincible in this game, too. Dang it!)
