[Rom1]

I found another one in the guardian part.

Just after saving Alyx, there's one part where the Guardian smashes the wooden wall but doesn't break it and Alyx comments on how you pissed it off. There's a grub hiding behind it, did you find that?

 

[Rom1]

Yes
Fourth loading : 330 grubs
saving Alyx

What happens when you get all the achievements?

 

[Iron_cube]

Dunno.

It gives "points", so I guess we'll be able to unlock things in the future.

 

[B_MAN]

damnit i was like 5 short on my first play through
and i missed 1 cache too

 

[DEATH eVADER]

A zombie woke up in a mine cart, and killed the grub on the track. If I shot them before hand, I would of got them all

That and:

Save all buildings in base assault
Kill soldier with his own grenade
Grub

I think I'll do the gnome one first

Are there anyones hidden really hard ? cause I'll maybe need help on them then.
Also when the zombie smashes those grubs with the cart , does it count you killed them ?

 

[ranmafan]

Probably not, you probably need to kill them.

Death eVADER, that base assault one's a real @$(*%@ in the ass. But here's a tip:

Spoiler

Wait for the first strider to come near to the sawmill before blowing it up since you'll need to save the time for the second one that comes around at high speed. Drive the car up to the water tower and blow up the third one with the bomb on the car, then keep driving towards the supplies shed and restock your M device. Drive back towards the sawmill and do your damndest best to blow up the running strider coming from the Cranes (he goes straight rather than turn towards the sawmill). There's a small reprieve, so restock. I recommend a quicksave around this time.

The next one, IIRC, should be the water tower or Sawmill. My memory is fuzzy, but once the major wave is defeated you have a little time to restock again, the first of the last wave of striders comes from the Cranes, then Sawmill, Tower, Sawmill if I'm not wrong.

Note: You can grab the M devices with the gravity gun, and drop them without blowing them up with the secondary fire. This way you can create a huge stock of pre-loaded bombs at the two major sites which you need to protect during the earning of the achievement. These work pretty well against Hunters too. One bomb and a physics object will kill them on Normal.

Don't those ones count towards the total? (Even if they get run over be the zombie cart.)

Found a GameFAQs thread detailing this: there're some interesting finds such as a grub inside the locker when fighting 3 acid antlions...

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=942003&topic=38827638

I think someone got 93 grubs at the end of the first loading.

 

[ranmafan]

I have a question: do the 96 grubs include the two just before the loading screen where you end up in the turret camp? I can only seem to get 234 by the third loading...

 

[Tyguy]

i saw that on my second run though..who put the thing in the locker...

 

[ranmafan]

Hm, Grub Count: by the time I get to the pounder (vibratory device. ), I've got 224 grubs. Is this right? (We should keep a running tally so people know roughly if they've got them all)

 

[Takekaze]

Great, I'm still missing three somewhere lol.

 

[McGooTheWise]

I got the last one and was missing 2. Please halp! I can't seem to find them. i think they're in the beginning of the caves, but I'm sure I didn't miss any...

 

[ranmafan]

I finally found my last 2 grubs: In the first chasm where a huge mob of Antlions are hanging around, the Vortigaunt will zap them all and tell you to finish them. At the location they were standing in, look across the chasm and up, there should be 2 grubs that you can't hear (which may be why they were missed).

That's my problem solved. Now I need to find that last cache...
