F.E.A.R. Hints

How can I get across the large tank with a broken walkway?

  • 1 of 15: Simple. Fill the tank with water and then swim across to the other side of the broken walkway.
  • 2 of 15: Of course, you'll need to figure out how to get to some sort of control device that'll fill the tank for you.
  • 3 of 15: First, figure out how to cross the tank to get to the other walkway you can see over to the right.
  • 4 of 15: Shine your flashlight down into the tank to see if there's anything in there you could use.
  • 5 of 15: There's a yellow ladder on the other side of the tank.
  • 6 of 15: If you drop down into the tank, you could cross it and climb the ladder.
  • 7 of 15: ALTERNATIVE: You could look to the right before dropping into the tank to find some pipes and a rail that you can jump over to get to the same walkway that the ladder would get you to.
  • 8 of 15: After passing a room with a radio and some supplies, go through a door that leads back outside.
  • 9 of 15: Find the control panel with the large red wheel on it and use it.
  • 10 of 15: Return to the room with the formerly empty tank to find that it is now filling.
  • 11 of 15: Now you can finally get across to the other side of the tank's broken walkway.
  • 12 of 15: You see those two large boxes that are floating in the water?
  • 13 of 15: They can be used as "stepping stones" of a sort.
  • 14 of 15: Drop into the water and swim over to the floating box that's closest to the walkway piece you're going for.
  • 15 of 15: Jump onto the box, and then from the box to the walkway piece.
