Prolific Popper & Post-Mortem Interval Achievement Guide - Black Mesa

[@minxy3805]

For the Post-Mortem Interval achievement you'll need to make sure you're interacting with the scientist's bodies. You can track your progress for both achievements through the achievements tab on the menu!

[@Boromir_vlogs]

That is so annoying, wish I would've known that you had to 'interact' with the body's earlier, it sucks having to look up a guide for such a particular thing.

[@Omkar529]

I wish you had mentioned that in the video, I had to redo the 1st 3 scientists because I didn't press the 'USE' button on them... but other than that it's a good guide.

[@matthewmarchetti5395]

Black Mesa is a masterpiece, with some god awful achievments.... Why the frickity would you have to interact with them?

[@Firehex1]

@@matthewmarchetti5395 Yeah, game became much less enjoyable when with hat I started to carry gas barrel... And then I need to replay game from middle for pizza box. Some maniacs did all 3 achievements in single run, but I wanna save my nerves O_O

[@sirizalot]

Honestly I wasn't expecting a video from a few hours ago to show up when I searched for a guide for both achievements, hehe :) Nice job.

[@Jazumes22]

Man I love how I've been clicking E on all the body's when I first got into Zen to try to get this achievement and it did nothing so I eventually stopped, but right when I stopped is when I should have been clicking E even though there is no visual difference between them, good design, really good.

[@joshuawilliams9247]

Yeah BM isn’t the most well designed

[@Jazumes22]

@@joshuawilliams9247 Don't get me wrong, ignoring some of the problems with the achievements, I think this game is designed very well. It improves greatly over the original Zen easily, and the rest of the game feels and looks great. It's a great game, but no game is without problems, that's all.

[@garou9914]

That's a crazy take bro​@@joshuawilliams9247

[@inwzwan]

For the Post-Mortem Interval achievement. The First scientist's body is 8:02

[@irongiantftw6295]

Scientists: 1) 8:02 , 2) 8:44 , 3) 9:05 , 4) 10:05 , 5) 10:29 , 6) 11:30 , 7) 11:56

And the purpel hat

[@webbyoyster]

@@yuuki2507 I hated doing the purple hat lol

[@jax1708]

now im doing the purple hat, now i see that i need to do the two objects and the worst of all, my black mesa (and other two games) crashes because... yeah so its moving two objects and the game is crashing for no reason

[@concrete_dog]

Excellent video, thank you! One observation: the blob at 5:20 was above water for me (but near the same island).

[@MegamanZ9000]

Thank you so much for that detailed walkthrough for all the BM achievements. Even though I still haven't finished the entire game, your guide has been really helpful so far and it will certainly be helpful now with the Protozoans / Scientists. Thanks!

[@endlessplayer1636]

Man, if I find out, that the scientist are only in Gonarcha Lair, i will not stressing to get this achevement - thankfully for that video and guide for Black Mesa, this very help me for get every achevement in game

[@NorbeeNorbee]

I love how every time you use a teleport, the canister gets stuck under you a you have to punch it with crowbar 30times to get yourself and the canister unstuck....

[@AppleManiagaming]

Use revolver or crossbow.

[@T37-y6m]

Just pick it up with the use button

[@Firehex1]

Happened with me few times... Physics of this game can turn you insane

[@springfield350dx]

Dude, thanks to you I unlocked 4 achievements in a row (Protozoans, Scientists, Cryogenic can, and escaping without fighting) ; Thank you very much for that vid !

[@robertficek7586]

1:00 Fun fact: cyanogen chloride is made by peeing in swimming pools

[@sonic77sgaming47]

What

[@LittleSkillet]

Fun Fact: You don't need the gas canister. When there would normally be a wall, with the gas canister, there isn't, and behind that wall is a protozoan. However, in that part of the chase you are in a short cave being chased by Gonard. To kill the hidden protozoan you save, turn around, and long jump at Gonard, if Gonard hits you, they can launch you out of bounds, then you can use your rocket launcher to kill the protozoan through the wall, then load the save and the game thinks you killed the protozoan fairly.

[@Niconelli12]

Speedrunner mind. I like it

[@Bluruwu]

"Prolific popper" achievement worked for me with just 60 protozoans.

[@callie99-10]

FYI!!!! the protozoans at 10:00 have to be killed from above before the loading screen. I made the mistake of falling down to shoot and did not get the achievement on my first pass.

[@MegamanZ9000]

I finally did it. I didn't know I HAD to take the Cryogen tank in order to open the secret chamber before the gonarch fight. I went all the way from the start of Xen until the end just to be welcomed by a blocked entrance; had to redo it all.

[@thechristopherous789]

Scientist 3 wont let me interract with them, any fix?

[@tyggzy1695]

I'm in the room where the large orange crystals start becoming more prominent, the one where all the computers are and the button that opens the doors but when I pull the plug to allow me access through the blue shield in the floor, the gas cannister doesn't come with? Like it's blocked thinking the blue shield is still there. What gives?

[@outerspaceman7534]

Same problem I have.

[@tyggzy1695]

if you haven't figured it out yet, you go back to that room eventually so it doesn't matter that you can't get access through the hole. Just drop it in the main room with the buttons and you'll eventually be reunited and can carry it again@@outerspaceman7534

[@alluma5133]

You can just leave it in the room and you go back to it once activating the crystals. You loop back round so you would be kicking yourself if you took it all that way just to find out you end up back there lol

[@outerspaceman7534]

@@alluma5133 yep I had just said fuk it and proceeded and I was there again. I literally figured it out a few minutes after I posted this.

11:51 how do you access that route to protozoan 59? It is closed for me

[@ZioRoush]

You have to carry the cyanogen can and put it on the teleporter to have access to that zone

[@PaulMetalhero]

@@ZioRoush so, there is no way you can do that at the same time if you are carrying the pizza or hat :( thanks!

[@ZioRoush]

@@PaulMetalhero i dont think so, unless you are a masoquist and carry both of them.

What is the gas can used for? I saw he put it in a teleporter. And then?

[@disgustingnerd7027]

have u found out why? I just got both achievements but wondering about same thing.

[@TheCanelaFina]

@@disgustingnerd7027 not yet. I retook this mission few days ago. I guess it will open a door at one point but no idea where. After that last transportstion in the teleporter I lose track of the can in the video

[@TheCanelaFina]

@@disgustingnerd7027 Mistery solved. Go to 11.50. You access a secret area where if you go with the canister you can kill Gonarch with gas (and get two achievements: The plan or Unquestionably ethical)

where did you get the first 1, the video began with 1 and not 0

[@arcturus5737]

It's meant to be like 1/64 to show that he's on the 1st one, when he kills the first one he goes on to show the process of getting the 2nd one so it'd be 2/64 and etc

[@minxy3805]

The number represents the collectible I'm about to collect, not one that's already been collected! So it starts with 1 to signify I'm collecting the first one :)

[@masterxmasterx7197]

@@minxy3805 its strange and confusing, usually it counts after collecting and not before it

I've never seen someone start a collectible video from 0, for instance powerpyx one of the biggest achievement youtubers starts all of his collectible videos from 1 also. Here's an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOooYV3fb2hfJY
