Half-Life Hints
How do I get past the grates and into the West canal?
1 of 4: A conventional jump may work, but there are easier ways of doing this.
2 of 4: Break as many of the nearby boxes as possible. One is unbreakable.
3 of 4: Push this box into the water on either side.
4 of 4: The box will float and you can stand on it to get a better jump over the grate blocking the entrance to the West canal system.
