Half-Life 2 Hints
These stairs seem to be a dead end!
1 of 7: The top of the stairs *is* a dead end, though note that there are some supplies up there that you can pull in with the gravity gun.
2 of 7: Did you notice the door on the floor below the supplies?
3 of 7: The room past it has another doorway that looks hopelessly blocked.
4 of 7: But it isn't.
5 of 7: Use the crowbar or gravity gun to bash all the wooden things you can reach.
6 of 7: Then use the gravity gun to shove the big green cabinet out of the way.
7 of 7: TIP: Look for the supply crate among the debris that you blast away from the doorway -- it contains two armor batteries.
