Half-Life 2 Hints
Headcrab Attic Tips
1 of 2: There are four headcrabs crawling around in the attic, so the best thing to do is toss a frag grenade up there before climbing the ladder.
2 of 2: If there are any gas canisters left in the previous room, you could fire them at the ceiling of the room just beneath the attic in hopes of scorching a headcrab or two.
