Half-Life 2 Hints
Secret Area
1 of 12: Find the small section of wooden fencing with the lambda logo on it. (It's near the second car.)
2 of 12: Examine the fence to see that there's some chain link fencing above it, but there's a gap on the left side.
3 of 12: However, you can't jump over any part of the wooden fence from on the ground, so you're going to have to find another way.
4 of 12: If you brought an item with you from the previous area (Dog's ball would do), you could drop the item on the ground next to the left side of the wooden fence and jump over the fence from on top of the item.
5 of 12: Or you could use the gravity gun to get one of the long wooden planks from the two board-blocked doorways on the building you exited from to get here.
6 of 12: Set the plank up carefully as a ramp to help you get up and over the left part of the fence. (Note that your "ramp" can't be too steep or you won't be able to get all the way up it.)
7 of 12: If all of that fails, there is a third way.
8 of 12: Have you figured out how to leave this area yet?
9 of 12: After you ride a car up to the wooden walkways, you can easily get over the lambda-marked fence.
10 of 12: Ride a car up to get onto the wooden planking that's between the two cars, then jump for the fence from the spot nearest the second car. (It's the spot nearest the fence you're trying to get over.) You could instead jump from on the hood of the first car, but that's harder.
11 of 12: After you're past the fence, turn the flashlight on and look for a side area in the back that has the secret supplies in it.
12 of 12: When you're done in there and want to leave, hop onto the slanty metal beam on the wall to the right of the fence and use it to get back to the street.
