Half-Life Hints
Where do I go after all the alien slaves are dead?
1 of 9: Explore the room they kept teleporting into.
2 of 9: Something else very different but just as alien has been teleported into that same room.
3 of 9: In the middle of the floor is something that looks like a small volcano crater made out of alien biomaterial.
4 of 9: Look up above it. How did that soldier get stuck way up there?
5 of 9: Try moving across the "volcano."
6 of 9: This is called an alien bounce-pad or trampoline, and it will propel you up into the air.
7 of 9: It's best used by running across it in the direction you want to go. Hitting the Jump key right before the bouce-pad blows you upward often helps, too.
8 of 9: In this area, the bounce-pad is useful for getting you up onto the next floor of the ruins, from which you can drop down into the next area.
9 of 9: In it, look for a grating in a corner that you can bash to enter a vent system (watch out for live snarks).
