  • 13 years in the making, there is A LOT to unpack with everything that goes on in Half-Life: Alyx and leading up to its mind blowing finale. If you're looking for an explanation of what you just witnessed or just want to know what happens without experiencing everything for yourself, here's what happens just before and after the credits role in Half-Life: Alyx.

    Damn can't wait for 13 years from now when Half Life: Kleiner is released on Valves Neural Implant system and the scene is changed AGAIN such that Dr. Kleiner himself kills both the advisers with his bare hands

    With this ending we can confirm/speculate a few things:
    1. Marc Laidlaw's "Epistle 3" (the story line for HL2: Episode 3 that he leaked in 2017) has been mostly, if not entirely, scrapped. Not a shock really.
    2. Since it seems they captured him and had him contained, it is safe to with some certainty that the G-Man does NOT work for the Combine, as some theories have speculated
    3. Possibly, the G-Man's "employers" are direct enemies of the Combine, and that the Combine are aware of their plans. (Perhaps another rival trans-dimensional empire?) This ending plus the vague statements made by Dr. Breen in Half Life 2 some what confirm this.
    4. The G-Man is aware of future events. This is going to energize the "G-Man is future Gordon" theories even further.
    Either way, this is a huge plot twist that not even M. Night Shyamalan could have come up with.

      Myne1001 I really believe that G-Man wasn’t captured by the combine. With the power that he has it wouldn’t seem likely that he would of been caught unless under his own will. It was mostly likely a ruse to bait Alyx into meeting him. It seems that the events of HL:A was to just show to his employers that she is more valuable of an asset than Gordon is. (If you recall Gman’s speech from EP2 his employers had doubts about Alyx but he learned to quell such “naysayers”) Gordon isn’t reliable due to Vortigants being able to intercept his stasis, which pisses Gman off. So he wants to cash in on Eli’s debt by claiming Alyx as his new pawn. Eli’s debt to the Gman was keeping her Alive during the events of Half-Life 1. Gman can’t have full control of someone unless they are consenting to it. So that’s why in EP2 he instructs Gordon one final time to see that he brings Alyx safely to white forest so the event of Eli’s death can transpire. (Eli’s death may have been some in part nudged by Gman) Gman wants to use this moment to convince Alyx to work for him. Hence why he has her kill the advisor to therefore trick her into employment. The post credit scene is basically the effects to Alyx being put in stasis, she basically disappeares from that moment so all the events can come full circle. A subtle but not so subtle retcon.

      I have a feeling the real opponent here, despite all, is actually the GMan's employers.
      Hear me out: Half-Life 1 started off with surviving onslaughts of alien armies until we learn that they are being controlled, and it wants Earth. As we come to find out, it turns out the vortigaunts were pretty damn inoffensive and vulnerable despite being incredibly powerful.
      In HL2, we start off with rebelling vs the Combine and, again, it is discovered that there is a supreme intelligence behind it all who wants to control our Earth's localised Universe despite having taken over countless dimensions, and again these local forces where nothing but modified humans and what appeared to be the Combine's atom-sized tip of the spear. It's almost as if the Combine themselves were busy elsewhere, even running away or perhaps mounting up not an offensive but a defensive against a coming storm and they will do everything in order to hold it back. This including of course, and not limited to, anhiliating entire species and universes in order to gain as much available ressources and tech to fulfill this goal. Perhaps, despite themselves being despicable in every way and sense, are a force of "Order" to an upcoming tidal wave of horror. It also appears that Xen was an important key to these...Employers' end goal, as it is essentially the hallway to the many broom closets that we call universes. Since it appears that the GMan CAN be halted by Vortigaunts' powers, Nihilianth was the only force capable of forcing them away, but since his death they now control Xen thus having access to everything! What I am suggesting is that the ACTUAL threat has got to do something with the titular name of the series: Half-Life (I am not gonna go in detail of what this means), and that the Combine are now powerless to fight back the Employers so it is now up to Humanity and the Vortigaunts to figure out something.
      Really sorry if this is convoluted...
      tl;dr: you thought the Combine were bad, but the REAL baddies are these Employers of the GMan, who himself is their harbinger of what's to come, and Humanity and Vorties are currently their greatest threat to their end goals. Also, the Combine were super dimensional fascists, but they were preparing of what's to come.

Not only that, but he also set up Eli's death so he could use it to convince Alyx to work with him.

      If Gman is omnipresent (as it's pretty damn clear) that's not really possible
      You can see it as you want it since he can be in any point in time and space but I think it happened in its sequence 1, 1.5, 2
      Gman knew that he had to do something to get Alyx hired so he (as he said) showed her the future and saved her dad and so two timelines merged, we're now in episode 2 but Gman is here and Alyx is gone
      Everything happened in two separate timelines, one in which 1.5 didn't happen and one in which it did, they just merged because Gman wanted it to be
      Or it can be your way and Gman foresaw that he'd likely need Eli to die in order to hire Alyx and then went back to the past (but as I said I don't like this option since it downgrades Gmans omnipresence abilities)

    So to make sense of this: this means the original ending to HL2: Episode 2 took place in a possible future that was prevented from existing when Alyx freed G Man. That’s the only explanation that prevents a time paradox. This means the ending from 2007 (where Eli is killed) was not the true future that actually happened, and was just a glimpse of the future that would happen if she hadn’t taken the deal, so the Half Life 2: Episode 2 we played took place in an alternate timeline. And so that means that Alyx still fought in the resistance and tagged alongside Gordon until that encounter in the hangar, where she disappeared because G Man finally took her. Because G Man letting her save Eli is considered a nudge, this implies Eli was extremely important to defeating the Combine. This is the only explanation that doesn’t create plot holes.
    This doesn’t change the events of Half Life 2 or the episodes at all, only what actually happened in the last two minutes. The only thing that’s unclear is what happened to Alyx right after she let G Man out (like after she saved her father and completed the deal). She still had to exist for more years and set in motion the events of Half Life 2 and the episodes. I’d assume she was let out from his dimension right after that and eventually told her dad. I just think Eli (and maybe even Alyx) didn’t know she’d be taken, which explains the “unforeseen consequences”.
    That was my theory for how they might explain it. Maybe this was just a Valve retcon in the story and we’re just supposed to ignore the implications it has to the world and time? Maybe it’ll be explained away as the G Man tampering with the past to test Alyx for his employers, creating a time paradox where the two timelines contradict. As long as it doesn’t contradict or canonically eliminate the events/accomplishments of past games, I’m fine.

      I think it’s pretty clear that G-Man exists outside of time, and perceives it differently from humans, just like the Vortigant. G-Man has always had an interest in Alyx, and the original Ep 3 actually ended in a similar way to this, with Alyx being hired by the G-man and Gordon being “fired”. I think he set up Eli’s death so he could have leverage over Alyx, and then used her freeing him from the prison as an example to his employers that she’s useful, even without Gordon. (Remember, G-man hints in HL2 that his employers have doubts about Alyx).

    @flameBMW245 4 роки тому +7

    I think i have another theory, it couldve been possible that half life alyx was used to tie the two endings in half life one together.
    As the gman said that gordon was unwilling to cooperate. In half life one, if you were not to go into the portal given by the gman, you would be sent to death by tens to hundreds of grunts and gman said that gordon would not be "working together" as in cooperate.
    So maybe by freeing gman and killing the advisor, maybe gman tried to merge the two timelines together to create 1 single timeline. Thats why hl2 ep 2 alyx and hl: A alyx were both taken by gman, as to merge them together.

    In my opinion Gman wiped her memory of their conversation and brought her back so that the HL2 can take place . Although she may have some glimpses of that but not complete talk .
    After the events of HL2:Ep2 Gman took her away to finish his tasks (as vortigons saved him from Gman).
    To avoid time paradoxes maybe he wiped her memory and it's just a big test to see her potential .
    And as 2 Alxes can't exists in a same time & space ( physics ) he may put her mind inside a vortigon to kill that advisor ( the killing animation of the advisor is same as a vortigon shot ) .Maybe the part where Eli dies ( in ep2) is just a fabrication to hire Alex .
    This way there will be no time loop or time paradoxes .
