Half-Life Hints
How do I get past the electrified fencing?
1 of 10: Both the door and the fence are electrified.
2 of 10: You can try jumping from box to box until you can jump over the fence, but that is not as fun.
3 of 10: Instead, take a look around.
4 of 10: Where is the electricity coming from?
5 of 10: Aha! An electrical box on the wall has short-circuited and is causing everything to be electrified.
6 of 10: Maybe if you destroy it, the fence will stop being electrified.
7 of 10: You can shoot through the fence, you know.
8 of 10: Shoot out the electrical box.
9 of 10: The door will open and the fence will no longer be electrified.
10 of 10: One good way to do this and clear out the houndeyes in the room without getting hurt is to move to the top of the ladder, bash the grate, then toss a C4 satchel into the room. Climb down the ladder and detonate it to solve all of your problems at once.
