Chapter Summary

Upon entering the portal in Xen, Gordon arrives on another floating Xenian island inhabited by a Gonarch, the only one found in the game. The Gonarch immediately attacks. After a long battle, the Gonarch is finally defeated; in its dying throes, it breaks open the floor of its chamber, exposing a portal that leads to the chapter Interloper.

Gonarch's Lair is the sixteenth chapter in Black Mesa.

Gameplay

As the player deals damage to the Gonarch, it retreats to other areas of its lair, breaking open impassible barriers as it goes. Aside from the Gonarch, the enemies encountered in this chapter are Headcrabs and Baby Headcrabs. The hoards of Baby Headcrabs spawned by the Gonarch provide a unique gameplay challenge, as they move quickly and are difficult to hit due to their size.

Media

The portion of the game that takes place on Xen will not be revealed until the mod release. [1]

Trivia

  • In the original Half-Life, the first of this chapter's three battle arenas contains a commonly missed floating island with a healing pool, reachable via long-jump. Whether this area remains in Black Mesa is yet to be seen.
