Guide for High on Life 2 Part 30, covering the Freezing Room and Assassin Room sections. Learn how to defeat Vortigaunts, Headcrabs, and Assassins, and navigate environmental hazards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Proceed through the walkway, past a first aid station, and prepare for a Bullsquid encounter. Use the crossbow to defeat it.
  2. 2
    Enter section c2a3c: FREEZING ROOM. Navigate past computer banks, dealing with Vortigaunts and Headcrabs using the crossbow and assault rifle.
  3. 3
    After clearing the enemies, a scientist will open a door. Use the HEV station and collect shotgun shells.
  4. 4
    Locate and use the button to open the large B-shaped door. Quickly eliminate the Vort at the end of the freezer room with the crossbow, then use the assault rifle for two Headcrabs behind pillars.
  5. 5
    Use the crossbow to kill the Vort in the short hall connecting the freezer rooms.
  6. 6
    In the second freezer room, use the assault rifle on the two Headcrabs, then sneak-shoot the Vort with the crossbow.
  7. 7
    Return to the first room and use the button panel to reopen the B-shaped door. Recharge armor at the HEV station.
  8. 8
    Re-enter the freezer area, crouch, and descend the ladders to reach section c2a3d.
  9. 9
    Section c2a3d: ASSASSIN ROOM AND DIRTY AMBUSH. Bash wooden crates for health packs.
  10. 10
    Use the crossbow in zoom mode to shoot two Vortigaunts in the hallway.
  11. 11
    To bypass further Vortigaunts, use a series of jump-crouches onto crates and a barrel. Bash three crates for supplies, but avoid picking up AR grenades to prevent Vort spawns.
  12. 12
    Proceed to the large lift and use its panel to ascend.
  13. 13
    You can interact with a security guard, but he is not essential and will not follow. Bash crates near him for supplies.
  14. 14
    Prepare for assassins. Place a tripmine low to the left of the doorway ahead.
  15. 15
    Position yourself against the right wall and wait for the first assassin to trigger the tripmine. If she glitches, quickload and retry.
  16. 16
    Sneak-shoot the second assassin in the leg with the crossbow as you approach the right doorway.
  17. 17
    Carefully move toward the next corner to sneak-shoot the final assassin with the crossbow. Alternatively, spam her with AR grenades as she attacks.
  18. 18
    If health or armor is low, find recharging stations in the room past the tripmine doorway. Avoid unnecessary crate bashing or ammo hunting.
  19. 19
    Go up the ramp to the raised floor area and locate the "Surface Access" lever.
  20. 20
    Move the lever all the way to the left using the "Use item" key.
Tips
  • Armor can take damage from the cold in the freezer rooms. Consider a fast run-through dodging enemies or clearing the first Vortigaunt before recharging armor.
  • If you need armor, bashing crates can yield an armor battery.
  • If the first assassin glitches through the tripmine, quickload and try again.
  • The final assassin will always attack when you sneak-shoot the second one.
