18 Brutal Gaming Challenges You Must Complete Before You Die
5. Getting The "Little Rocket Man" Achievement In Half-Life 2
To get the Little Rocket Man Achievement in Half-Life 2: Episode 2, you have to send a gnome, called Gnome Chompski, into space. Sound tricky? Youd be absolutely right. The gnome in question is a garden statue found at the very beginning of the game if you look hard enough. The rocket, on the other hand, is located at the very end of the very last level. That means you have to carry this little fellow with you throughout the entirety of the game. Although this might sound simple enough, youd be wrong. He can be dislodged from the car at any given moment when youre driving, never to be seen again, and he also cant be left in any room that you can never go back into whether that's knowingly or not. Lastly there are no shortcuts; you cant just drop him somewhere and pick him back up again later. Forget about him for a single second, and hell be gone melting into the shadows, along with the achievement youve worked so hard to get.
