Half-Life 2 Hints
Manhack Combat Tips
1 of 4: As soon as you see and/or hear them, turn around and run back for the canal.
2 of 4: Turn left and run all the way to where bars block the path.
3 of 4: There's enough water there to crouch down in to help, though the manhacks can still hit you fairly often, so swing that crowbar fast!
4 of 4: ALTERNATIVE: You could turn right when you reenter the canal and run all the way down to the spot where you killed the first two manhacks, but there isn't much more water there, so it wouldn't really be any better.
