Half-Life Hints
How do I reach the crossbow in the shark cage?
1 of 5: The shark cage is suspended by a long metal beam. If you can walk across that beam, you can drop down into the shark cage.
2 of 5: While walking on the walkway that goes around the perimeter of the ichthyosaur pool, you should come to a hallway that has a ladder in it.
3 of 5: The ladder leads up to where a scientist is standing. Listen to what he has to say.
4 of 5: You can walk out onto the beam holding the shark cage from up here.
5 of 5: Do so and drop down into the cage. Grab the crossbow.
