Save Games for Get Some Grub and Little Rocket Man achievements in Half Life 2 Episode 2

These Save Games will unlock the achievements "Get Some Grub" which requires you to "Squish every antlion grub in Episode Two" & "Little Rocket Man" which requires you to "Send the garden gnome into space".

Instructions

You need to follow some basic instructions for these save games to work:
Before attempting to use my files go to your save game location for Hl2:EP1 here "<Steam-folder> /SteamApps/common/Half-Life 2/ep2/save/" and move all the files somewhere else.
Now, turn steam cloud for the game off by right clicking on the game and going to properties and untick the steam cloud option.

Get Some Grub

Download the save game here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BYOAE0ucaugfyKB_b-5fUb9L8XJXxrqZ/view?usp=sharing

After downloading my file extract it and put the extracted files here "<Steam-folder> /SteamApps/common/Half-Life 2/ep2/save/".
Now start the game and load the file, you can see the last grub through the fence shoot it and the achievement will unlock.

Little Rocket Man

Download the save game here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-aj4St6j1EDo6WhhOaEnWn7ZNsSUPhw/view?usp=sharing

After downloading my file extract it and put the extracted files here "<Steam-folder> /SteamApps/common/Half-Life 2/ep2/save/".
Now start the game and load the file, you can see the gnome inside the rocket, close the door and hope the achievement pops.
This achievement might not unlock due to steam cloud sync so make sure to turn off your cloud sync before attempting this achievement.

First one worked for me, but the second one isn't. Idk I did everything like in the first step, but I can't find save file for gnome...

Thank you so much! A few years ago, I was taking the gnome in but after launching the rocket I still didn't get the achievement and suspected something was wrong. My friend told me that I should have closed the door, but there were no save files left... Now replaying the second episode I don't want to suffer with this again. So thank you, it works
