Half-Life Hints
Is there any reason to kill the ichthyosaur in the big pool?
1 of 4: Only if you really need the 10 hand grenades that you can go diving for after Ichy is dead.
2 of 4: The easiest and most ammo-conservative way to kill the ichthyosaur is to fire the hornet gun repeatedly into the water.
3 of 4: The only problem with this way is that you won't be able to see the ichthyosaur's body float on the surface when it's dead, so it may be hard to determine exactly when you kill it.
4 of 4: So always save your game before going diving in the ichthyosaur pool.
