Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I follow Alyx to the comm unit?
1 of 9: As usual, she's a lot more nimble at climbing things than you are, so you'll have to find an alternate way.
2 of 9: Notice that the game picks this moment to bring up a little help window about the two functions of the gravity gun.
3 of 9: Find a way to use the gravity gun to pile stuff up, create a ramp, or something like that.
4 of 9: Over on the right side of the rubble that Alyx climbed are several large-ish boards. Try using them.
5 of 9: It is possible to set up a board as a ramp that you can use to get up onto the rubble, but there's a much easier way.
6 of 9: Look at what the boards are holding up.
7 of 9: It looks kind of like a bedframe standing on one end. Try removing the boards to see if it'll fall down to where you can use it.
8 of 9: After you remove all the boards, the thing will turn out to be a handy ramp!
9 of 9: After it falls into place, run up it and turn right to see where Alyx went.
