Half-Life Hints
How do I get the primary laser online?
1 of 8: The primary laser is comprised of four secondary lasers.
2 of 8: These secondary lasers produce beams which are then focused by the primary laser to produce a very powerful laser beam.
3 of 8: You need to get the secondary lasers online first.
4 of 8: The four secondary lasers are not very difficult to find. They are in several rooms near the primary laser.
5 of 8: One of the rooms, however, is not apparent at first. You will have to move down one of the halls that seems like a dead-end.
6 of 8: Listen for voices and wait for an accident to occur. You will now have access to that room.
7 of 8: Each secondary laser has a control panel nearby with a button on it. Press the button to start the laser.
8 of 8: Once all of the secondary lasers are online, the primary laser will become available. Press the button on the control panel near the primary laser to fire it.
