Half-Life Hints
What kind of alien is trapped inside the glass case?
1 of 4: The alien trapped in the glass case is called an alien grunt.
2 of 4: Grunts are very powerful and they are quite strong, too. They carry a hornet gun that shoots out hornets. The hornets will follow you around corners and catch you no matter what.
3 of 4: The grunts themselves will work in teams. They are very good searchers. They will search out and find you as long as you are nearby.
4 of 4: Oh, by the way, the one inside the glass case will not be trapped for long, so move quickly.
