Half-Life Hints
What do I do with the primary laser?
1 of 9: Whether you know it or not, the primary laser is aimed at a very convenient wall.
2 of 9: The wall is shared between the primary laser room and a storage room that opens into the room with some scientists and rotating machinery.
3 of 9: Once the primary laser is fully powered, try firing it.
4 of 9: Hmm. A firing shield will drop down and block the wall you want to break through.
5 of 9: A sign warns not to obstruct the laser shield.
6 of 9: Well, if you want to break through the wall, you will have to obstruct the laser shield.
7 of 9: Look for something that will jam the shield.
8 of 9: There is a box nearby that can be pushed. Push it under the shield.
9 of 9: Fire the laser again to break through the wall.
