Half-Life 2 Hints
It's all dead ends around here! How can I leave?
1 of 11: There are no exits at ground level, so look up higher.
2 of 11: At the back of the street, there's a small spotlight mounted next to a high-up window.
3 of 11: That's a clue that you need to somehow get up to that window.
4 of 11: Notice the wooden planks that are set up near the window and along some walls.
5 of 11: How might you get up onto those planks?
6 of 11: Crushing zombies isn't the only thing you can do with the car-crusher traps.
7 of 11: How about dropping a car and then riding it back up?
8 of 11: As soon as a car crashes to the ground, quickly run over and jump onto its roof before it starts to rise. (You may unbalance the car and slip off if you try to stand on the hood.)
9 of 11: Ride either car up to get to where you can hop off onto some of the wooden planking that you saw from the ground.
10 of 11: Follow the planking to where your local benefactor is waiting for you, then crawl in through the open window with the spotlight next to it.
11 of 11: TIP: If you have Dog's ball with you, use the gravity gun to throw it through this window from down on the street before you ride a car up.
