Half-Life Hints
How do I move into the residue compression room?
1 of 7: If you have explored a bit, you will notice that you cannot jump from the observation deck and that the maintenance access doors are both locked on this side.
2 of 7: Therefore, you need to find another way to travel.
3 of 7: The residue is going from room to room. Maybe if you followed the trail of the residue, you would be able to get into the next room.
4 of 7: The first residue processing vat has a ladder that leads up to the edge of the vat.
5 of 7: Climb up the ladder and you will see an empty pipe on the other side of the vat.
6 of 7: Some chunks of residue provide adequate positions to jump from in order to reach the pipe.
7 of 7: Jump from chunk to chunk and then into the pipe.
