Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I get this elevator working?
1 of 6: Apparently, it needs some controlling gadget to be powered up.
2 of 6: Move onto the elevator platform and look across to the other side of the shaft.
3 of 6: You see that familiar-looking machine?
4 of 6: It's another power generator without an energy orb to power it.
5 of 6: You can grab the orb that's bouncing around in a small vertical thing near the edge of the shaft, or one from the two long energy conduits that are nearby.
6 of 6: Fire the orb into the center of the generator to power the lift and get it going.
