Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can we get to the end of the ridge?
1 of 9: Carefully crouch-walk up to the edge of the drop-off and look over it.
2 of 9: There's a large ledge not too far down that you can drop to without taking any damage.
3 of 9: Turn left and look for a rather narrow walkway that you can drop onto from the ledge.
4 of 9: Make your way along it carefully, crouch-walking under a piece of large broken pipe when you come to it.
5 of 9: Just past that, some falling rubble will widen a gap in the path.
6 of 9: Quicksave your game just to be safe, then jump across it.
7 of 9: After that, there'll be another broken pipe to crouch-walk under, followed by a car blocking the path.
8 of 9: Just hit the car with your gravity gun until it falls into the chasm.
9 of 9: Past that is a large open ledge with a small fire at the other end, which is where you needed to get to.
