Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Where's the power box for this one?
1 of 5: It's actually a power switch, and it's in the same large flooded room the door is in.
2 of 5: In fact, it's on the opposite side of the room.
3 of 5: Swim over to the other side and get up on its farthest walkway using the underwater stairs. (Or by jumping up onto the walkway piece that doesn't have a railing on it.)
4 of 5: WARNING: Watch out for barnacles nabbing you as you swim along and as you get up on the walkway. Have your crowbar ready to whack any of them who grab onto you.
5 of 5: Once up on the back walkway, look for the power switch on one side of the big pillar.
