Half-Life 2 Hints
I came to a force field blockade, and Alyx isn't helping!
1 of 7: I guess she figures that it's obvious what to do.
2 of 7: Look through the window to the right of the force field to see its standard power plug-in.
3 of 7: However, the window is unbreakable, so you can't just bash it and then shoot out the plug.
4 of 7: Check the table over near the force field to see that you've got lots of frag grenades here (and it's just a short jog back to the infinite frag grenade crate).
5 of 7: So is it clear what you need to do?
6 of 7: You're going to have to bounce a grenade into the room with the plug in order to knock it loose.
7 of 7: Press up against the very left corner of the force field and toss frag grenades through the doorway that the power cable goes into until the force field disappears.
