Half-Life Hints
Ichthyosaurs
Ichthyosaurs are very much like sharks. They reside solely in water, though they tend to skim the surface as they pace around their environment. Ichthyosaurs attack with their jaws, but not until they circle you at least once. Once they hit you, you will become disoriented, so try not to let them get close.
You can kill an ichthyosaur from safely on shore by firing at it with your Mp5, shotgun, or whatever whenever you see it swimming on the surface. If you ever have to kill one while in the water with it, use the crossbow, as it was made for that sort of thing. If the ichthyosaur is a considerable distance from you, use the targeting sight and fire a bit below the beast (a necessary adjustment when sniping underwater).
