At first you could say that this is a waste of time and you could be right, but it’s actually quite hard to kill the giant headcrab.
It seems that almost every grenade and rocket must give a maximum hit.
Maybe something went wrong for me but the one and only time I played this, I didn’t kill it.
The reason I have given it a MAYBE is because if you have to time your grenades perfectly then it might be an interesting challenge for some.

I didn’t enjoy this at all. While the idea of a giant headcrab is kind of interesting the execution is terrible. Rockets pass right through it and there is really only one vulnerable spot to attack. You can easily run out of ammo and have no idea how close you are to killing it. Not worth your time unless you like a pointless challenge.

One of the things I like most in video games are Boss Fights. So, the idea of a custom boss fight from my favorite game of all time should sound good right? Well, sort of.
The problem isn’t with the idea, but with the execution. Remember the Big Scientists mod? Well, the scientists there are programmed the same way as the Boss here. Their body size is the same as the original game, only the model is enlarged. The result of this is rockets flying through it. There’s not finish trigger either.
Overall, if you like a small challenge, then you should play this. Otherwise, stay away.
need nearly every ammo
2single room, simple design, would have a end message and music played with the boss defeat

This was just a map testing a giant Headcrab. Which by the way is superb hard to kill…
I really don’t know, I’d love to have some more challenge in there maybe some grunts??
Yeah think twice, is just nothing but a Giant headcrab, that’s why I love Gornach more.

Giant headcrab 10/10
I actually killed BIG HEADCRAB without any cheats , but only 7 grenades are remained. Maps/Mods like this are LELZ so they are made to look bad , but this can be better. For me only major problem is that model of headcrab is big , but body of headcrab is default , so when i shoot it with rockets , rockets don’t hit headcrab , they pass right trough headcrab. Creator of this mod would probably add some titles on end , and put little decoration in map.
This is how i managed to kill BIG HEADCRAB:
I used glock to see where headcrab body is. When i realise where it is ,i was started to shoot rockets on it. Later i found (if i can even call them) “secret” weapon(s).
I shoot headcrab with everything i have. When i have only 8 grenades , i throw 8th (last needed) grenade and headcrab only disappeared.

Creator of this map should add more decoration on map , but everything except these two problems is Okay!

Bland map. Instructions are simple, just kill a giant headcrab which is hard to kill. I mean it takes a lot of hits but that’s not what makes the boss battle hard, it’s the hitbox. Imagine fighting a Gonarch in Gonarch’s Lair but your weapons go through it most of the time, this is basically it. A giant headcrab boss that is nearly hard to hit but on the plus side, there are explosives. After killing a headcrab leaves you wandering around the map aimlessly so that means this has no proper ending at all.
