Half-Life Hints
How do I get out of the freezer chamber?
1 of 11: Have you tried taking the ladder you walked by when you first entered?
2 of 11: It leads up to a vent you can break through.
3 of 11: Follow the vent systems along and across the tops of the shelves until you cannot go any further.
4 of 11: Keep going until you can see across into an opposite ventilation duct that you cannot reach without some sort of bridge.
5 of 11: Look around. Is there anything on that level that may function as a bridge?
6 of 11: The cargo-moving system is sitting dormant against the wall. Maybe if you could get it moving, it would work.
7 of 11: Look for a button that might activate the system.
8 of 11: There is a bright red button down near the floor that will start up the cargo system. It will begin moving back and forth across the room.
9 of 11: Run back and take the air ducts up to where you were before.
10 of 11: Hop onto the moving cargo system and destroy the boxes it is carrying.
11 of 11: Grab the battery packs and get ready to hop off on the other side, into the other air duct.
