![]() It is possible for the Gargantua encountered on Xen to become stuck next to or against a Xen Tree, at which point the tree can be coaxed into attacking with any weapon, eventually destroying the Gargantua with no loss of ammunition.However, it takes about nine thrown grenades to destroy it. Explosive weapons such as the RPG and energy weapons such as the Gluon Gun are effective against it (the Tau Cannon in Half-Life deals "BULLET"-type damage with direct fire, to which the Gargantua is immune, but in Half-Life: Source, the weapon's damage has been changed to a type to which the Gargantua is vulnerable.) Satchel Charges or grenades are also effective, as is the grenade launcher found on the MP5 and M4. While it is difficult to do and not required in most of the Gargantua encounters, the creature can be destroyed with conventional weaponry when having enough of the right kind of ordinance.The Gargantua being destroyed by the dynamite on top of the Hydro-Electric Dam. When idle, the Gargantua stretches its neck, shakes its head, seems to look for something on the ground for a few seconds, or seems to yawn.Gargantuas are very determined pursuers, and have been known to wait patiently for their target to come out of an area they cannot reach for a considerable amount of time before moving on to something else.It is never seen in action and all of the resulting destruction are scripted. It can perform a seismic roar which destroys structures.The Gargantua moves quickly (slightly faster than the player) for its size with immense strength.When the attack hits Gordon Freeman, the HEV Suit detects "internal bleeding".It can stomp the ground to generate a slow shockwave (represented by a speeding red dot).It can perform a melee attack with its arms that does heavy damage.Its pincers are equipped with powerful flamethrowers, burning enemies with massive damage.Alternatively, the player can ignore the shock troopers nearby and allow them to defeat the Gargantua. Dynamite has been installed around his feet, and Adrian Shephard must quickly detonate it in order to destroy the creature. In Opposing Force, a Gargantua can be seen tied up on top of the Hydro-Electric Dam (If not defeated fast enough, it will break loose and the player must find a way to outrun it), in the chapter Foxtrot Uniform, while HECU soldiers and Shock Troopers fight around and against it. The last time the Gargantua appears in Half-Life is in the chapter Nihilanth: when being teleported by the Nihilanth in the third chamber for the fourth time, a Gargantua appears instead of Alien Controllers.Ī Gargantua also appears during the final sequence of the Uplink, where it kills several Black Mesa employees while the G-Man watches, before slowly heading towards the cornered player, at which point the demo ends. ![]() The Gargantua is next seen on Xen (in what may be its natural habitat) during the chapter Interloper, where it can simply be avoided or destroyed by luring it near the Xen trees. Upon noticing Freeman, it chases him in a tunnel leading to Waste Processing Area 3, where Freeman has to use a Tactical Map set up by the HECU to destroy it with airstrikes It is seen again in the chapter Surface Tension, where it throws Black Mesa SUVs at HECU soldiers in an underground parking lot of the Topside Motorpool, leading to the Waste Processing Area 3. Two HECU soldiers fighting a Gargantua in Sector E Track Control. To defeat it, Freeman has to bring back power to the tracks leading to the Sector E Materials Transport network and the small power station located nearby, where the creature will be destroyed by electric discharges. A Gargantua is fighting against two HECU soldiers while the G-Man is watching from the control room, and soon turns to Gordon Freeman upon noticing him. It is first introduced in Sector E Track Control during the Half-Life chapter Power Up. It is unknown if the Gargantua is a natural species or if it is manufactured like the Alien Grunt, though its integrated weaponry and bio-mechanical appearance suggest that it is an artificially engineered monster. ![]() It requires a large amount of explosive, electrical, or energy damage before being destroyed and it can rarely be defeated with conventional methods. The creature has a thick shell or carapace that renders it completely bulletproof. Instead of hands, it sports two massive pincers that can be opened to emit jets of intense heat (the Alien Grunt hands are also similar), as well as a pair of vestigial legs below the trunk, a common trait in most bipedal Xen creatures. ![]() The Gargantua is approximately six meters (20 feet) tall, mostly blue in color, and has one orange eye that glows red when it perceives a hostile unit.
