Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Where can I go from here?
1 of 10: Turn your flashlight on and look directly across the shaft.
2 of 10: You see that ladder? You need to get over there and climb it.
3 of 10: But there's no way to edge around to the ladder on the ledge you're on.
4 of 10: So jump to another ledge.
5 of 10: Turn right and do a quick sprint-jump across to the narrow ledge you see there.
6 of 10: Now you can carefully move over to the ladder and climb it.
7 of 10: At the top, get off on the right and look around.
8 of 10: There's another grate-covered shaft opening on one wall, a bit lower down than you are.
9 of 10: Attempt to pull the grate covering to you in order to shatter it, then carefully drop down onto the ledge that's next to the opening.
10 of 10: TIP: Before you drop to that ledge, look up and kill the barnacle that's nearest it if you haven't already (or toss a piece of grating to it). You don't want it grabbing onto you before you can get through the vent opening.
