The Orange Box

This is, in my opinion, the most fun achievement in the game. The gnome is discovered in the communications shack that you and Alyx enter at the very beginning of the game, just look on the ground and under everything on the floor, you will easily spot it. You must take this little gnome through the entire game with you, all the way to the White Forest rocket Silo (pre-fighting.) Once you reach the Silo, watch the talking, and wait for the part where Lamarr jumps into a little hatch in the rocket. You must place the gnome in this same opening. YOU MUST CLOSE THE HATCH'S DOOR . No closed door = no achievement. As soon as you close the door, the achievement will unlock.

Once you know that, it is pretty strait forward. Don't lose the little guy, make sure that he is safe at all times.

When you and the vortigaunt go to get the Extract, you can leave him sitting by Alyx, as to not have to carry him around with you through the Antlion Den. I have tested this, and can assure you that he will not disappear.

To get him through the driving scenes, you must shove him into the back window of your car. Set him in position, then gravity gun him about 20 times to get him really stuck. I assure you, he will still fall out, so be sure to check constantly for the little guy in the back of the car.

During fighting scenes, be sure that he is in an out of the way location. If he is in the middle of the encounter, he can be sent flying, making it very hard to find him.

This was the most challenging achievement i have had to do, but also the most fun. I extremely suggest anyone with this game to try.

The beginning is pretty easy, just bring him with you, and make sure he's not forgotten. When you get to the vort chamber, just place him in a corner (not right up against the elevator, he can fall in and you'll never get him back) and when you get back, same thing.

Before big battles, find a safe place where he won't be touched and pick him up afterward. In the area where you have to get to the car, before you go in the first room, shoot the gnome over the wall you're trying to get around. Don't worry, he'll still be there.

When you're driving, put him at your or Alyx's feet, that way you can see him if he falls out and quickly get him back and continue. Just make sure not to drive fast. When you go into the house with the big floating green worm-thing (i forgot what it was called), make sure you don't place gnome in the car, cause the car gets teleported and you'll be wasting time searching for him on the ground.

When you get to the part with the hunter-chopper following you, place the gnome at the beginning of the train yard. Continue until you get the first load, then go back and you can safely bring the gnome forward with no chopper. Once you get back past the load, I kept shooting him forward, going to where he went, picking him up, and repeating. Once you kill the chopper, it's pretty easy, just keep him with you.

Just have fun and name the gnome if you want.

I found this video. I did the Achievement whit this video it and I think it good. Kaisonic made this video for RoosterTeeth. Good luck

I hated this achievement! It was fun, except the little guy just kept falling out of my car using the method mentioned above. So if you are having the same problem, I recommend just carrying the gnome by foot, and your car will reload close to you at every check point, so no worries.

Also, the following code makes you invincible, but does not disable the achievement (for some extra help)... and note that up refers to the D pad...

LB, up, RB, up, LB, LB, up, RB, RB, up

Try to do it moderately quickly (roughly 2 button presses a second), as it will sometime not work if you do it too fast or slow

***note that this does not be redone every time you start a new level (from save or natural progression), and only needs to be done once per level(I.E. if you do it a second time, it disables the cheat with the second attempt, assuming you typed it correctly)***

##This will work with all the Half Life games on the Orange Box##

I loved this game and this achievement was part of the reason why, fair warning save often.

It’s pretty straight forward bring him along until you reach the rocket, shove him in and close the door, I also closed the door on that pesky little pet headcrab hehe.

Driving him around is the hardest part, all I can say is keep him at Alex’s feet, that way you can see when he falls out. No amount of nudging or jamming worked for me. I managed to get him stuck on top of the dash once but it didn’t last long and I couldn’t do it again.

FYI be mindful where you leave him, one time I lost him when I set him on the garage table and came back to a garage with no table... RELOAD. Other than that it wasn’t that hard, he actually made a handy weapon at times, just be careful where you shoot him.
