"Gnome Vault of My Own" Achievement, But Fast and Easy

In this guide I'll describe a method that helped me obtain the "Gnome Vault of My Own" Achievement without the need to replay the whole story main missions.

First things First

You will need to download 2 steam workshop mode for the game in order to obtain the achievement easily.

The first one is the one that is going to be in use, YOU STILL NEED THE SECOND MODE FOR THE FIRST ONE TO WORK !, so make sure to subscribe to both <3.

how to use the mode in-game is all described on the mode page above, it's quiet simple and easy to understand.

All this mode does basically is that it allows to cheat, enable god mod, infinite ammo, give weapons, etc. and, it also allows you to spawn a lot of things, YES SPAWN WHAT EVER YOU WANT, and there is where the trick lays ;). and thankful this mode doesn't shut down achievements, so you can unlock any achievement you want using the mode to help.

Unlocking the achievement

So all you need to do is start a new save slot at the "start new game" option in the main menu and chose the 10th mission(BREAKING AND ENTERING) where you are suppose to unlock the achievement at the end of it, PLEASE make sure that you have activated the modes and chose "start new game with addons" so you can be able to use the mode in-game.

once you have established the new addons save slot at the 10th mission, play the whole mission(use god and AI ignore modes if you wish to rush the mission) , Keep playing till you reach the area where you use the grenade launcher to kill Strider.


( I didn't have any screenshots so I decide to take this quick snapshot from this YouTube vid https://youtu.be/a1zGEPuE1iY?si=JlJRJbbZN5y33vpF )

after you kill the strider, you wait a bit and then a bridge appears that you walk through and after that the gravity should hold you and take you all the way up to the vault.

*DO NOT WALK THROUGH THE BRIDGE*

First open your spawn menu from the mode you activated, silde to the far right and before you reach the last option, there is an Option called "props" if I am not mistaken, I am not sure what it called but its before the last option where you can undo and reset all the modes you activated, in that "props" option You should be able to spawn things like woods, chairs, boxes, etcs, At the very first up there should be an option called "Gnome", Spawn it, Then hold it with your hand and now you can walk through the bridge with the gnome on your hand, after the gravity holds you up and take you to the vault, congrats, you should have unlocked the achievement <3.

Conclusion

This is my very first guide I ever made, so sorry if there was any misunderstanding or any shortage of image use or videos, I just unlocked the achievements and decided to make a guide on how to unlock it in a fast way since I didn't see anyone else did it before or maybe someone already did it but I didn't notice.

Either ways I hope this can help anyone who wants to unlock this achievement without the wanting to replay the whole game, and please if you feel like you can help explain better than than I did, feel free to do so in the comment section.

this guide has no insult implementation of any kind toward the game, it's this type of achievements that requires you to replay the whole game from the very beginning in order to unlock it just because you missed such a trivial thing , that's what pissed me off. not the game itself friend <3.

sorry im just obsessed with the half life series n i didnt really like this

[AboShehri]

some people who wants to unlock achievements using shortcuts such as myself don't want to play the whole game from the very beginning just because they forgot or missed something like that, therefor I made this guide for anyone who want to make a shortcut like I did to unlock this achievement.
