Half-Life Hints
How do I exit Waste Processing Area 3?
1 of 10: From the top of one of the silos, you should see a metal door and an exit in one of the far corners. It is surrounded by some very large walls.
2 of 10: You will not be able to reach the door, let alone open it, without first making some adjustments.
3 of 10: Making these adjustments requires some use of the military's targeting system.
4 of 10: To begin with, you need the walls out of your way. Aim the targeting system at the walls to destroy them. The wall directly in front of the metal door does not necessarily need to be destroyed.
5 of 10: Secondly, the door itself needs to be removed. Aim the targeting system at that.
6 of 10: Third and finally, you need something crossing over to the exit.
7 of 10: A large electrical structure stands nearby. If it were to fall over, it would act as a perfect bridge over to the exit.
8 of 10: Targeting the electrical structure alone will not do anything. It is too solid to knock over without some added pyrotechnics.
9 of 10: Some machine hubs stand at the base of the electrical structure. Aim the targeting system at them to conjure up enough power to knock the structure into position.
10 of 10: Walk across the fallen electrical structure to the exit.
