Half-Life Hints
How do I get out of these sewers?
1 of 7: Hopefully you saw the zombie coming out from the sewers on the other side of the bars that block you. He had to open a sewer grate to do it.
2 of 7: Hopefully you killed him before you dropped into the sewers as well. If you did not kill him, then be ready for him when you get out of the sewers.
3 of 7: Anyhow, walk along the sewer pipes until you find that open grate.
4 of 7: Also, locate a small hand-wheel that is in the sewers.
5 of 7: Once you know where both are, run back to the hand-wheel and turn it. The water in the sewers will rise.
6 of 7: Swim over to the open sewer left by the zombie and jump out.
7 of 7: You could also swim for the closed grate, and it'll open for you. This is especially useful if you didn't want to use ammo to kill the zombie earlier or now; you can just outrun him to the next game section.
