Walkthrough
Previous Chapter: Friendly Fire

Once you are out of the vent, take your time and restore your health and HEV before heading left down the corridor. Watch the action. You CAN either kill Freeman or follow him through the portal here, but doing either will end the game. Head right and up the ladder, ignore the Controllers. The cascade will explode and break the raised walkway; jump down onto it and then up into the second portal.

Work your way up the floating platforms, using the membrane bouncers when need be; you can jump and fall much further in Xen without hurting yourself. On about the third platform you will hear a scream; stay where you are to collect the Displacer from an unfortunate scientist. The Displacer is...an interesting weapon. Both it's primary and secondary functions are extremely useful, but only in very specific circumstances. Save it for powerful enemies and for when your health and HEV are low respectively.

Keep working your way upwards, take out the Houndeyes with conventional weaponry. On the last platform bouncer you are aiming to launch yourself into the glowing light, save before trying. Doing so successfully will end the chapter.
