F.E.A.R. Hints

How can I get across?

  • 1 of 15: You can jump up onto the shorter of the two wooden crates at the end of the ledge, but it's way too far a jump to get to the other side.
  • 2 of 15: Look up and across the room.
  • 3 of 15: You see that large rail-like track on the ceiling? It goes from near your position all the way down to the other end.
  • 4 of 15: At the other end, a large "arm" is attached to the rail for the purpose of moving shipping containers along it.
  • 5 of 15: The arm currently has hold of a shipping container -- what if it were all the way down at your end?
  • 6 of 15: Why, you could jump from the wooden crate on your ledge to the shipping container and run across to the walkway on the other side!
  • 7 of 15: So look around for a control panel that you can use to work the arm.
  • 8 of 15: Looking to the left, you'll see that there's one on a small platform that's just past a large shelf with boxes stacked on it.
  • 9 of 15: From the floor of the ledge you're on, jump over the rail to get onto the top of the shelf.
  • 10 of 15: Hop across the crates until you can drop down next to the control panel.
  • 11 of 15: TIP: You can now get into that office with the blocked door and pick up some stuff. You can also use the flashing red phone on one desk to get a voice mail message, but it's not very significant.
  • 12 of 15: When you're ready, use the control panel to get the container-moving gimmick to move to the other end of the room.
  • 13 of 15: When it's most of the way across the room, two Replicas will come through a door on the walkway on the other side.
  • 14 of 15: TIP: It should be easy to shoot them both down with the pistols if you use SlowMo and start shooting as soon as they open the door they come through.
  • 15 of 15: After they're down, you can jump back across the storage shelf to return to the little ledge you were on earlier, where you can jump onto a wooden box and then go across on the shipping container.
