Half-Life 2 Hints
I'm taking Dog's ball with me. How can I get it up this ladder?
1 of 5: First, drop the ball near the base of the ladder.
2 of 5: Climb up a short way, then look down and pull the ball in with the gravity gun.
3 of 5: Continue to face down while climbing the ladder with the "Move back" key.
4 of 5: When you reach the top of the ladder (when you can't move back any more), carefully swing the ball around so that you're facing into the room at the top of the ladder.
5 of 5: Then hop off the ladder into the room (either with or without tossing the ball into the room first).
