Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Flashlight Note
1 of 4: This dark hallway is the first of several areas in this chapter in which Alyx can't see at all (and therefore can't follow you or shoot enemies) without your flashlight being on.
2 of 4: You don't have to have it on constantly, but you should keep it on most of the time. (And stand still when auxiliary power needs recharging.)
3 of 4: An alternative to having the flashlight on is carrying a flare. They burn out eventually, but they can also be used for light without draining auxiliary power.
4 of 4: When in combat in dark areas, be sure to shine the flashlight on whatever you want Alyx to shoot at so she can aim properly.
