She does so, saving Eli’s life and ending the Advisor’s. The G-Man then rewinds time to just before Eli’s death and gives her the chance to kill the Combine Advisor before it can murder him. The G-Man shows Alyx a moment five years in the future – the exact cliffhanger ending of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, when Eli Vance has just been killed by a Combine Advisor and Alyx is cradling his lifeless body in her arms. How Half-Life: Alyx Connects to Half-Life 2įor Half-Life fans, this is where stuff gets crazy. Instead, he offers her something she doesn’t know she wants yet: the chance to save her father’s life in the future. When asked what nudge she would want, Alyx says she wants the Combine off Earth, but the G-Man explains that’s too big an ask – and not in the interest of his employers. Effectively, he’s a genie granting her a wish – though there are limits. At this point, the G-Man determines Alyx has proven herself a useful individual, and to show his gratitude for her rescuing him he explains that his employers (who are still a mystery) allow him to “nudge” events in time occasionally. He “offered” Gordon Freeman a job at the end of the first Half-Life, only bringing him back roughly 20 years later for the events of Half-Life 2.īack to Alyx: Once the cell is opened, whatever technology the Combine were using to contain his supernatural powers and keep him in one place is disabled, and the G-Man immediately opens up a familiar doorway to another dimension and pulls Alyx and himself through. But opening the cell reveals it’s actually the G-Man who’s been imprisoned, not Gordon.įor those unfamiliar, the G-Man is a mysterious, otherworldly entity with the appearance of a stern-looking human in a suit who essentially plucks people he deems valuable out of space and time (which he calls “hiring” them) to keep in stasis until he needs them again to complete another task. ![]() When Alyx finally makes it to the core of the vault – navigating buildings that have been strangely warped through space and time to get there – she does see a figure standing inside of it. Gordon Freeman (the main Half-Life protagonist) that’s being held captive. While worrying whether this entity is friend or foe, they overhear an unknown human working with the Combine saying this prisoner survived the Black Mesa incident (the events of the first Half-Life) and that they caused hell while doing so – that leads Eli and Russell to believe it’s the legendary Dr. We hope you enjoy the ride with us as we complete this journey.However, as Alyx gets closer, Eli decrypts a Combine data pad that reveals that it's not a vault protecting a weapon, but actually a prison containing a person. We'll be posting development updates along the way on our blog. We're aiming to make the game feel just as familiar as long-term fans will expect it to, while modernising the graphics and technology.
