Half-Life Hints
How do I get out of the room with the two ichthyosaurs?
1 of 5: If you have not jumped into the water, then you can recognize the room with the two ichthyosaurs by its odd path of platforms, each with slippery water on it.
2 of 5: After jumping and slipping your way to the end of the platforms, you will have a choice: try to jump through a break in some grating or try your luck with an electrical wire that blocks your path along the platforms.
3 of 5: The answer should be pretty obvious. Take the break in the grate.
4 of 5: Either way, you will end up in the same place.
5 of 5: Note that you can skip the slippery pathway by turning to face the break in the grate as soon as you enter the room. Dive into the water and swim straight for it, then jump-crouch through it. You should make it without injury.
