F.E.A.R. Hints
How can I get up those stairs without being fried?
1 of 17: You'll need to find a way to shut off the flow of electricity to that box.
2 of 17: It so happens that there's a switch that'll do that at the end of the hallway, but you can't get to it without going through the electrical hazard. That means you're going to have to find a long and twisty way around.
3 of 17: First of all, look around for supplies, including a medkit that's possible to snatch from a shelf next to the electrical storm.
4 of 17: Then check the walls for any possible passage out of there.
5 of 17: The side office doesn't have any other exits, but there is one out in the hall.
6 of 17: On the left wall (as you face the electrical hazard) is a large grating.
7 of 17: Find it and bash it off to reveal a short crawlway you can use to get to a room with a blocked door and a ladder.
8 of 17: Take the ladder down and move along the sewer-like area.
9 of 17: When you reach the entrance to a large room with walkways, move forward slowly until you hear Replica chatter.
10 of 17: Move back a bit and prepare to use SlowMo and shoot two Replicas who appear ahead of you on the other side of the room. A third Replica will climb down a ladder over to the left at some point, so be ready for him.
11 of 17: After dealing with the Replicas, look around for ladders to climb.
12 of 17: TIP: One of the ladders starts you on the long trip to an optional area with a health booster in it.
