Barnacle Bowling

Kill five barnacles with one barrel.

How to unlock the Barnacle Bowling achievement in The Orange Box - Definitive Guide

After running away from the Helicopter in the Aquaduct (on foot) and heading into a run-down dungeon-esque building, there is a slippery slope leading down and right with 2 explosive barrels at the top. Move one of the barrels to the top of the slope, and create a save file. Push it down and it should roll and get stuck on barnacle "tongues" and be lifted into the air. The barnacles are behind a ledge, so you must shoot the barrel until it is flaming. Time it so that the barrel explodes as high up as possible. Reload the save if you do not kill all the barnacles at once.

Which chapter is this in? Surely that is the first piece of info a solution should give, why do so few people bother to say it?!?!?

Sorry, I thought that Aquaduct was the name of the level. It's Route Kanal. Photo 7 in this series is the section I referred to: http://bit.ly/cIlTn

This is completly wrong, there are only four Barnacles in three of the alcoves, and three in the second to last one. If you want this achivement you should use the place with a lot of barnacles that is before you get to the helicopter.

It's not that bit, but it is in Kanal, here's a video (not mine) showing where to get Barnacle Bowling and Vorticough. It makes it pretty clear and easy:

You should probably post that as a solution, and I'll delete this one. I must have gotten my wires crossed, the 11 positive votes made me think this method worked.

What he's saying is correct but I believe it's before the helicopter not after. There are like 8 barnacles in the area he's talking about. Got it first try. Thank you

Easily done in the Chapter called Route Kanal. Awhile into the chapter you will come to a guy on a turret, take him out and follow the path into the muddy tunnel ahead. Once in there you will soon come to a tunnel with MANY barnacles in one spot and a explosive barrel right next to you. Simply shoot the barrel until it's on fire, then make it roll down into their line things and it will bring it up and it will soon explode.
