Half-Life Hints
How can I move around the flooded lab room?
1 of 12: One lab room (D-AL 101) has been flooded and an electrical wire has electrified the water.
2 of 12: You better not touch the water or you risk serious injury.
3 of 12: You need to figure out how to cut the power to this wire.
4 of 12: It looks like it came from a light. Maybe there is a light switch nearby.
5 of 12: There is, on the far side of the room.
6 of 12: You will need to make your way over there.
7 of 12: Jump into the window, then hold the Use key and move backwards to scoot the table next to the window so you can get on it.
8 of 12: From the table, jump to the lab counter on your right.
9 of 12: Move to the other end of the lab counter. Be careful not to touch the water in the sink, as it is electrified as well.
10 of 12: Then you can jump to the table in front of the health station. Heal up if you need to.
11 of 12: Now you can make your jump over to the lab counter near the light switch. Flip the light switch to turn off the electricity.
12 of 12: You can now enter the water if you want to.
