Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get over there?
1 of 8: You can't quite make the jump out of the water onto the walkway, so you'll need to find something to help you out.
2 of 8: Dive back to the bottom of the room. What's that on the floor?
3 of 8: It looks like some big things are being held down by wooden planks.
4 of 8: Bash the planks with your crowbar to see what happens.
5 of 8: There are three large wooden spools and several crates that will float to the surface after you release them.
6 of 8: NOTE: One or more of those items may be caught on a ledge, requiring you to push them around a bit before they'll surface. However, all you really need is one wooden spool -- you don't have to make everything float to the surface.
7 of 8: Once at least one spool is floating on the surface, push it against the ledge you want to get onto.
8 of 8: Jump onto the spool and then onto the ledge.
