Half-Life Hints
Ugh! What is that thing attacking the security guard?
1 of 6: If you read the hint about the headcrab, then you should know that headcrabs can turn dead corpses into a sort of zombie-like creature.
2 of 6: The alien you see attacking the security guard is one of those zombies. They are usually rather slow and quite easy to kill.
3 of 6: You really can't do much to save the guard, but be ready to take on the zombie in a minute.
4 of 6: He will walk over. As he is walking, you should strike with two or three blows to the head with the crowbar.
5 of 6: Then quickly back away as he will punch with his right hand and then with his left. Those claws add a lot of damage to whatever gets in his way.
6 of 6: After he tries to attack you, run up and attack him again until he dies.
