Half-Life 2 Hints
What's the regular route to get up there?
1 of 10: Start moving down the street, passing through trigger points and spawning zombies.
2 of 10: Once you're ready, head for the grassy back alley that's down at the far right end of the street. (It has a poison zombie and several immovable stacked metal crates.)
3 of 10: Use the crates to hop up onto a raised ledge, then jump over to another ledge with an explosive barrel and a ladder.
4 of 10: Climb up the ladder and keep going until you reach the area with three explosive barrels right together and an unjumpable gap past that. Uh, oh!
5 of 10: TIP: Before you cross the gap, go for all the supplies that Father Grigori left for you on a red rooftop nearby.
6 of 10: After you're across, kill off the two fast zombies that appear, quicksave your game, and then make a quick run for the exit.
7 of 10: Remember that the exit is the balcony with the open doorway that's ahead and across the street.
8 of 10: Move forward as far as you can on your side of the street, then jump across.
9 of 10: Jump onto the balcony as far to the right as you can, since its left end is loose and will try to dump you back down onto the street. (Though if it does, you can just run up it like a ramp.)
10 of 10: If you're fast enough, you can make it before any more fast zombies catch up with you. (You also don't need to worry about them following you across.)
