Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can Alyx and I safely cross this bridge?
1 of 7: Do you see what the problem in crossing the bridge is?
2 of 7: What exactly happened to those soldiers?
3 of 7: The malfunctioning energy device over on the right periodically charges up and creates a powerful pulling force that'll yank anyone and anything off the bridge if they're in its range.
4 of 7: Note that its pulling force doesn't affect the entire bridge, but just the center chunk of it.
5 of 7: Move slowly along the bridge until you're near the area that the force affects.
6 of 7: After quicksaving your game, wait until the pulling force stops, then immediately sprint the rest of the way across.
7 of 7: Alyx may not follow right on your heels, so wait on the other side for her to make it across.
