Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints

How can I get its machine going?

  • 1 of 6: By firing an energy orb into the usual wall-mounted power generator.
  • 2 of 6: There are a lot of energy orbs shooting past nearby.
  • 3 of 6: That's right -- in the shaft you just came through!
  • 4 of 6: Fortunately, the glass window between the control room and the shaft is partly broken out.
  • 5 of 6: So pull an orb through that break and fire it into the generator.
  • 6 of 6: You could also stand near the wall hole you came in through and grab an orb from there.
