Half-Life Hints
The other side of the dam dead-ends! Where do I go?
1 of 6: The nearest place that you can reach is the water being held back by the dam.
2 of 6: Jump in and be prepared for a fight.
3 of 6: An ichthyosaur is residing in the water, so pull out your crossbow and shoot it.
4 of 6: If the icthyosaur starts out a fair distance away, turn on the sniper scope and shoot it from a distance. Remember to aim a little below the body of the thing in order to hit it.
5 of 6: Come up for air if you need it and then begin looking for an exit.
6 of 6: If you have too much trouble killing the ichthyosaur this way, try waiting in the cover of the rocks while the helicopter flies back and forth. It will fire at the monster fish whenever it sees it, and if you wait long enough, the fish will be dead when you enter the water.
