He said, get this light ball to the tube at the ceiling.
19th July 2008
andy its a double. move the panels first then watch the ball and you will have to adjust one after the ball is shall we say in play. and then be ready for the fight of your life. hehe. good luck.
23rd July 2008
Damn that was hard.Not even funny hard lol.Cant beat the final guy though.
25th July 2008
any hints on the final battle would be most helpfull, anyone, someone, hello?
25th July 2008
Sorry John.I have run out of ammo and knocked out every crystal but the ammo seems to not even phase him and I have none left now.No idea what to do.
25th July 2008
It’s my miss, I did’t give to the player unlimited ammo. Try to pass it again from autosave and to use your weapons very smart. Break the both crystals first then shot the boss with every possible weapons. Extract the ammo from flying crystals above a head.
25th July 2008
Cool another level after the boss.Took a bit to figure that one out.For the boss I just put it in god mode and ignored those flying things and used all the ammo on him.
By the way whats the button with your name on it do?The one in the boss area.I pushed it but didn’t see anything happen.
25th July 2008
This button opens a way to the secret chamber in the tunnel with portal.
25th July 2008
I musta missed that.I didn’t see no opening.
26th July 2008
I must finish this mod one day. I can only play it for a short while then go back days or even weeks later and play a bit more. Bloody hard game and in all fairness I think just a bit too hard. It never gives your brain a rest. I hope the author with any new work well give the player the option to lower the hardness factor a notch or two.
Having rested for a few weeks and played a few other mods/mappacks like Forward Motion. It’s back to Prison next week. If I had to rate the mod so far I would need to say ‘Consider It’, just too intense with low fun factor.
27th July 2008
I think the average rating is too low for this mod.
28th July 2008
Hey you cant rate it its yours.That screws it up.I deleted your rating and if phillip wants he can put it back but I dont think you should vote on your own stuff.
On the other hand if you had a walkthrough we could put up here you would have more people playing it.The mod is to hard for most people,me included(took me 2 months).If you did that the rating would probably go up.
19th August 2008
it is wonderful the mod is grouvy (exuse my english ) best mod ever but it is in another langwege
19th August 2008
it is a fantastic mod very good job on changing the shotgun skin
good job altough not in english
21st September 2008
how can I get ver1.0 old version
21st September 2008
fadi
Only through me. Tell me where I can share it for you. But one question: WHY?
22nd September 2008
Scared of a challenge mel? lol.Yes it is very hard and really not doable in a few hours.Days maybe when you figure it out but yes it’s hard.I liked it but the mental factor was a bit much.
22nd September 2008
ok andyb I guess you have finished it and feeling very smug. Any way well done and what did you rate it?
6th October 2008
Well, I browsed the whole thread but it seems to me that nobody has had problem with the 4th level but me.
I’m stuck in one small room (see screenshot: http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snap019ch1.jpg) and don’t have an idea how to progress any further. Please help somebody. Thanks.
A.
6th October 2008
I’ll try to remember it lol but.! on the other side of that gizmo going back and forth there are some boxes you can climb up with.Also where the end of the arm on the gizmo goes through the wall you need to get in there and break something.Forget if its a web or not but just so whatever is blocking it falls through.Been awhile since I played it.
6th October 2008
Not for the average player.It’s exrememly hard and frustrating.If your into hair pulling etc etc then go for it. :p
6th October 2008
it was really a destroyable web beyond that wall block – I didn’t notice that before. thank you… but now I’m in the following room (http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snap022hc6.jpg) and guess what? yeah, I’m stuck again!
PS: you’re right – it’s really frustrating and… I don’t even know why I’m playing this – I hated the Xen world in original HL already.
7th October 2008
Not sure on that pic as I I don’t remember but I do believe you need to push the crystal button on the wall to open something
7th October 2008
of course – I pushed the button already. but I don’t know what exactly happened. it’s dead end to me
7th October 2008
Andyno
You are opened the door on the right side (in screenshot). Now you must get higher on the roof.
7th October 2008
it’s not door but small opening that leads to very long jump… and death of course. or am I missing something important? I bet I am…
7th October 2008
Go to the ROOF of moving cube! =)))
7th October 2008
if you mean this moving cube (http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=prison40001jd1.jpg) know this: that cube doesn’t move anymore. the only thing that is moving is the strange transparent object (on screen it’s just under that huge cube). it’s trajectory mimics the trajectory of the cube so I guess we got here some kind of bug or something…
7th October 2008
Ok.
8th October 2008
Then reload the map, go back to another save, maybe this could work.
1st November 2008
ok, I’ve read the comments here, and parts of this mod are pretty hard… but I like it. But now I’m stuck.
Prison6, the part of the map just after screenshot 14 above.
You have the room full of columns with platforms and deadly slime at the bottom… get to the other side, go through a water tunnel. Come to a big room with several columns in a big water pit. Kill all big guys, get to the other side, there are 2 locked doors – one requires red key, the other blue. I found the 2 secret areas on this map, but no keys.
Back on the side I came in on, there’s a cave up above, but no way to get there. I’ve tried everything, can anyone give me a hint?
thanks.
2nd November 2008
The blue key, which opens a door to get the red key, is under a barnacle two rooms back. You reach it by jumping on a rotating transparent platform.
2nd November 2008
Thanks Gilffrarry… I guess I missed that, I’ll have to go back and get it… thanks.
2nd November 2008
You’re welcome.
3rd November 2008
Now that my system is upgraded, I will give it another play, as I promised. Reaktor, is this like The Trap? Does this mod have triggers to stop us from cheating, too?
)
3rd November 2008
Ade
This mod not like The Trap, just a shooter, but sometimes there are riddles more difficultly, than in The Trap. No triggers for cheaters. And I think this mod a lot worse than The Trap, becuase it’s my first mod, and its gameplay is thought over worse.
Excuse my english.
17th November 2008
OK, stuck again. I’m at the point of the last screenshot (21) above. Get past the slime part shown… get to the big room, scary head room across the chasm… watch the preview clip… kill the red bug….. can’t figure out what to do… head back into the maze, kill various baddies that pop up, find the teleporter that goes back up. I’m guessing that there’s some way to make the teleporter take me to the scary head room, but I can’t figure it out. I see several blocked off rooms in the maze (and up above) but I can’t get to them.
I’m just getting tired of running around that maze, wasting ammo on the guys that appear.
17th November 2008
If your where I think you are you need to long jump across the chasm.
18th November 2008
It’s right after this…
/images/2008/feb-08/sqr-hl-prison-21.jpg
I tried to super-jump across the chasm to the big scary head…it seemed to be wayy short. Maybe I’ll try again if that’s what I need to do. Maybe I was just messing up the jump. Thnx
18th November 2008
Yea thats the spot.Gotta use the jump/crouch combo to get across.I didn’t think it was possible either but it works real easy.
18th November 2008
haha.. first time I tried it… boom.. actually was on top of the doorway, and ended up falling off.
Then took me about 10 more tries to get it. When I think about it, I have a hard time doing it.
OK, figured it out up to the point where reality distorts, will have to play it again later.
24th November 2008
Finally finished it.. Killing the final guy was tough, but not too bad. It was good to know to destroy the crystals first. Overall, I think this is a good mod. Hard at times, very confusing at times too. A little too much backtracking and required-super-jumps for my taste. I just hate all the precise jumping required in this mod.But overall, very well done. A walkthrough would have been nice, but thanks to this forum for getting me through or I probably would have given up on it.
27th November 2008
help i am in gothalians lair. i fall into the area and he is hideing in a whole. i hit him with him everything but he wont die thing i have and he wont die. any hints…
28th November 2008
Can anyone tell me what to do in the room with several columns in a big water pit, in map 6? There are several long jumps between the columns and I can’t make’em. Is there any other way to get to the other side?
21st June 2009
Does any body know where is the blue key in prison12?
Thanks,
18th July 2010
A good mod with lots of hard riddles and jumps etc. Great maps.
There are two endings.
25th June 2011
Oh god, i tought this was from 2010, but is not is for 2008 and i played it untill now!!, some moths ago!!, oh i really liked this one, it was pure quality and fun in reaktor style, so yep i think is a play it now, as the Trap was fantastic, well here is the prefect mod apperitive to complete that reaktor cool xperience.
18th January 2012
Interesting story with a prison-escape begins nice and ending on a Xen-like, unfortunately I must say.
Pro’s:
-Good ideas, nice gameplay
-Nice scripts
-Good level design, but not my taste (Xen) – but still it’s obv its a fan mod
-Many puzzles
-Surprising firefights
Con’s:
-Unfair placed enemies
-A bit poor textures, but nice architecture/levels
-Confusing/tough beginning, find crowbar (and HEV) first ain’t easy for newbies
