About Nihlanth

[Dsty2001]

I was just reading the Nihlanth post and seen a quote from what the nihlanth said. It was something like *We are their slaves*

Then it popped into my mind, what if the Xen aliens were slaves to the Combine? Just a thought...

[The Monkey]

When VALVe made that back in 97/98 they had no clue what a combine was, nor anything about HL2. But then again, they might have thought of that afterwards. I don't think it has anything to do with HL2, but who knows?

[Samon]

It has alot to do with half life 2 actually

[Delicious Bass]

i was thinking he was saying the xen aliens were slaves to the gman

he also says "you are man, he is not man..." does this mean the gman is not human?

[cervantes]

hey wait a minute... is Nihlanth talking? where?


sorry that im so misinformed....

Have you finished Half-Life?

[eiric]

Hmm, maybe it's time to play trough HL just one more time before HL2. But then again, hopefully I can afford the gold package and play HL:S. =)

What is this based on? Where's the evidence?

[TeckBlade]

read the speculation story at http://www.hlfallout.net/

it will talk about how xen, nihilanth, and the combine are connected and what exactly is the Citadel

[Brian Damage]

A direct link would be nice.

[Wikt]

In fact.. They have the whole story written already. They only have to implement it into games.

[TeckBlade]

A direct link would be nice.

yeah? how about searching? i dont get direct links either

I know that the Nehlanith(thlanthlthalnth or however you spell it) says the following in Xen.
Come to Mother.
You are man, he is not man.
Not you alone, not you alone.
Why won't you die?

I wrote this down when I replayed HL last month. Those are the ones I KNOW of, but I don't remember a Slave one. But I might have missed it. There was something else I saw, but it is hard to discribe. In the level just before the Nehlanith... big bad guy there is a big ass crystal and in one part I could have sworn I heard a human voice. But it was too hard to understand, and to faint.

[Samon]

"Come to mother" hmm it doesnt say that

"Why wont you die" doesnt say that either.

But the other 2 are right, its pretty hard to hear the dam thing!

[Mr.Awesome]

i'm pretty sure he says "i am the last" at some point,
it's what you hear as you approach the big teleporter that teleports you to where nihilanth is, if i remember correctly.

[Headrattle]

"Come to mother" hmm it doesnt say that

"Why wont you die" doesnt say that either.

But the other 2 are right, its pretty hard to hear the dam thing!

It says "come to mother" when you first enter Xen. You know, where you jump from one platform to another? I am postive about that one.

The "why won't you die" is also what I think he says during the battle, but that one I am not so positive about.

Of course it might be something else. He is pretty hard to understand.

nope, that's "comes another", bub.

[Headrattle]

nope, that's "comes another", bub.

Ahhhh. Ok, thanks. That makes more sense. Like I said, he is kinda hard to understand.

[Kommando]

Ok this thread got me thinking...so I located and extracted everything the Nihlanth says. It says a total of 14 things.

Heres a list of them...

1. Alone not you alone, not you alone.
2. The last you are the last, you are.
3. Come to mother.
4. You are man he is not man, for you he waits, for you.
5. Deceive you, will deceive you.
6. Now die, now die, now.
7. Die you all die you all die
8. Their slaves, we are their slaves we are.
9. Done what have you done.
10. Last I am the last.
11. Freeman.
12. The truth you can never know the truth.
13. Thieves you all are thieves you all are.
14. Win you cannot win.

These quotes are very interesting, definitely makes you think about the HL2 plot some more.

[Valve_Assassin]

any writer worth his salt creates a world far more elaborate then the one delivered in the story, including possible sequels, and use foreshadowing, so it's entirely possible for HL2 clues to be in HL1.

[Valve_Assassin]

oh and by the way, some possible corrections to the list above:

1: Either "alone, aren't you alone, aren't you alone" or "alone, want you alone, want you alone"
3: possibly "comes another", cause comes to mother sounds a little to, uh, wierd :)

Thanks man, I didn't find nearly that many.

And I think it is "not you alone" because he is annoyed that you are the one who kills him after all of the otehrs tried.

[eber]

i think so too..

[Antlion Hunter]

I've played this for like the 5th time already and on my third playthrough RIGHT WHEN I entered the portal to reach Nihilanth I paused the game and I heard him say something along the lines of "Monster,you are a monster,you are................"

[eber]

i just felt like it

[Samon]

You just felt lik bumping threads :|

[eber]

:angel:

[Jandor]

an angel smilie does not constitute a constructive post.

Nihilanth says a lot of things, however you can't understand a word of them without extracting the files and repeating them over and over again for half an hour.

Also, The slaves line I believe was referring to either the Controllers or G-Man, probably not G-Man.
I dont think Nihilanth was the controller of Xen, I think he was a conduit that the Controllers used to extend there influence of the Vortigaunts. He could also teleport things around, although the favoured method seems to be through the 'Manta' things.

[eber]

i luv mantas :) my favorite vehicle in hl :P
they should give gordon a personel manta in hl3 just for fun .

Eber will you stop posting, like just for fun.

[BlazeME]

lol. I never realised that Nahlanth said anything besides groans, I just killed him and got it over with. I knew that the vortigons spoke though, generally just saying 'Kill him' or 'Die'.

[Marx! II]

Where are his speeches put, that I may hear them for myself?

[eber]

hmmm good point ,..

[FRESCO_SUPREME]

Where are his speeches put, that I may hear them for myself?

u need GCFScape (just type it in google).

then u go to steamapps\halflife\valve\sound\nihlanth

[eber]

lol there is no "soundssection" and i see nothing like "nihlanth".
lol there are no sounds at all.

[Marx! II]

Assuming you have the scapedeal, go to C, Program Files, Steam, steamapps, and follow what Fresco says.

[eber]

i did this :then u go to steamapps\halflife\valve\sound\nihlanth
but it isnt there.

[eber]

ugh just a question , but what do i have to do with that program .. i just installed it and its now running but what now ? there are still no sound files in my folders. only half-life mp3 music clips.

[ríomhaire]

Eber, If you don't have HL on your Steam it won't be in steamapps.
Did you guys ever think he dosn't have HL on his computer/ on Steam, I don't.

[eber]

lol what did i do wrong why are there no sounds ?

[eber]

Eber, If you don't have HL on your Steam it won't be in steamapps.
Did you guys ever think he dosn't have HL on his computer/ on Steam, I don't.
i definetely have every half-life game on steam. but there are no sounds and theres also no sounds folder

[ríomhaire]

Don't double post please.

[eber]

can someone instruct me , how to get the sounds ?

[ríomhaire]

Please stop posting the same thing over on over, it's not even bumping as this thead has been at the top the whole time.

[eber]

but i want to know how to get those nihilanth sounds

[FRESCO_SUPREME]

you are trying to locate them thro gcfscape right?

[ríomhaire]

but i want to know how to get those nihilanth sounds
When people see you making 20 identicle posts about it they end up not telling you out of spite.

[eber]

you are trying to locate them thro gcfscape right?
errrm i just went to the steam folder through the windows explorer

[ríomhaire]

Do a search for gcfscape and DL it.

[eber]

i have that program installed dude , but it doesnt help.

[Marx! II]

Open GCFscape, hit 'open' Go C, Program Files, Steam, steamapps, halflife (it should be a purpleish box, then valve and sounds, all through gcf.

[pomegranate]

would someone post a screenshot of GFC open to the appropriate folder? I've not got it installed atm.

[eber]

Open GCFscape, hit 'open' Go C, Program Files, Steam, steamapps, halflife (it should be a purpleish box, then valve and sounds, all through gcf.
again and again , there is just no sounds folder. i did exactly what you said but there really is no sound folder.

[Marx! II]

For both the both of you, the last window got clipped off, but right below 'scripts' is 'sounds'.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/MarxII/Help.bmp

[eber]

[Marx! II]

I've done all I can for you.
Do you even have Half-Life?

[specialmax]

Dosnt the N look like the Advisor or his brother of somthing...

[Angry Lawyer]

Dosnt the N look like the Advisor or his brother of somthing...

Not really. The Nihilanth is stitched together badly. The Advisor's wearing a giant body-sock with bad stitching.

-Angry Lawyer

[Jintor]

Wait a second...


The Advisor's wearing a giant body-sock with bad stitching.


Hmmm.... :thumbs:

[Samon]

They look nothing alike..."Wow, they are both ugly aliens! Must be connected!"

[Angry Lawyer]

Don't believe me?

Look at the head, and the tail. That's Advisor skin. The rest of it is a dark cloth with bad stitching.

IT'S A BODYSOCK!

-Angry Lawyer

[Samon]

He was refering to the fact that the Nihalinth is like a sock as well, with stiches ;)

[eber]

am i ****in dumb or what ?!!112)(/%? i HAVE registered half-life on steam , i HAVE that ****in scape program, i HAVE it ionstalled , i HAVE managed to get it working , and there IS no ****ing soundsfolder.

[Samon]

No need to take a fit. Its just a sound folder.

[eber]

dont you understand it ? theres no sound folder , i looked everywhere in the steem directory.

[Samon]

dont you understand it ? theres no sound folder , i looked everywhere in the steem directory.

There there, it's not the end of the world.

[CrazyHarij]

dont you understand it ? theres no sound folder , i looked everywhere in the steem directory.

Have you used gcfscape to browse the Source Sounds folder in SteamApps?

There there, it's not the end of the world.

He's simply asking a question, your reply doesn't exactly help him and it was completely unnecessary to give him an answer like that.

[Samon]

Nah, it's Eber. It's not like I've recieved any decency in the past :flame:

There's about 4 people who've given clear instructions, obviously he's done something wrong. He could just as easily look in the hl folder, at least that's what I did. If he kind find it, well, not the end of the world.

He may have a trouble understanding your instructions, but it definitely does not justify your language to him so far.
Check your PM inbox.

[FRESCO_SUPREME]

ive taken the liberty of emailing em to ure hotmail inbox eber.

EDIT - no i havent, your email address doesnt exist, apparently.

[Samon]

I think it's more than just understanding in instructions...but regardless :)

[Jandor]

But regardless, the topic is called "About Nihlanth" not "About Eber" ;) .

[eber]

lol yes haha (i understand the instructions its just not there :/)

[Jintor]

Did you already post screenshots? If it's not there you'll have to grab it off someone else...
