Half-Life Hints
Some glowing alien pods are blocking my way.
1 of 5: Those pods actually contain snark eggs.
2 of 5: You need to destroy them to move through the level.
3 of 5: But once you destroy a pod of snark eggs, the snarks inside will be free to attack you.
4 of 5: Therefore, attack from afar and hide until you hear the snarks expire.
5 of 5: Or shoot the pods from a distance with the hornet gun's secondary attack mode, then use its primary attack to destroy the snarks as they come for you.
