F.E.A.R. Hints
I'm on its other side, but can't get up the ladder because of flames!
1 of 10: Again, look below the catwalk.
2 of 10: Hop over its rail and find the handy crawlway.
3 of 10: Use it to get to a room where a skeleton startles you by dropping to the floor.
4 of 10: There's a fire-spewing pipe blocking the walkway's exit from this room, but fortunately there's a solution to that nearby.
5 of 10: Find the large valve wheel on the walkway's lower segment and use it to turn off the gas flow that's feeding the flames.
6 of 10: That also solves the problem of the flames that blocked you from climbing that ladder earlier.
7 of 10: There's no way to get back up onto the broken catwalk segment from below it, so you might as well exit the valve wheel room through the newly un-flamed doorway.
8 of 10: TIP: Before you leave, find the ladder in the corner near the valve wheel, climb it, and bash the grate covering to gain access to a crawlway with a health booster. After getting it, you can go back down the ladder or drop down from further on in the shaft. (You'll be a short way past the doorway you recently de-flamed.)
9 of 10: After you go through the now-safe doorway, head straight forward to get back onto the broken catwalk.
10 of 10: Now that the flames are off, you can finally climb that ladder.
