Half-Life 2 Hints
Hiding Under the Trap Door Strategy
1 of 7: Contributor John "d j" came up with a variation on the Hiding in the Corner Strategy that doesn't require you to stand perfectly still in one exact spot.
2 of 7: When Father Grigori starts talking to you, jump over to the rocky ledge that's on your side of the fence near him.
3 of 7: Drop down to the street below using other ledges to avoid taking any health damage.
4 of 7: Quickly run back to the spot where you jumped over a short concrete wall with a rail to enter a poison zombie's area.
5 of 7: Follow the same route you did before to get from there to the room in the building that has the trap door in it.
6 of 7: Close the door leading into that room, then wait near the trap door (without opening it) until you hear Father Grigori say to step into the cart.
7 of 7: Run up the ladder and through the trap door, then across the roof to the cart. There shouldn't be any fast zombies nearby, so you can make it undamaged.
