Half-Life 2 Hints

How can I get to the church to meet up with Father Grigori?

  • 1 of 11: Search around the streets until you find a dead end that features a very short concrete wall with a railing on top of it.
  • 2 of 11: The railing has a gap on its right end that you can jump through.
  • 3 of 11: This will get you into one of the local poison zombie hangouts, so be prepared to battle a poison zombie if you didn't kill it from above while on the rooftops.
  • 4 of 11: The first set of stairs in the back left corner of the zombie's area is partly wrecked, but you can jump up onto the first unbroken stair fairly easily.
  • 5 of 11: A fast zombie will appear and attack as you make your way up more stairs and along metal walkways, so I hope you brought a radiator grille with you. (If not, use the .357 or shotgun on it.)
  • 6 of 11: When you come to a door, use it to enter a building where you can pick up some ammo before going up some stairs.
  • 7 of 11: Climb up the ladder at the top of the stairs and push through the trap door to get to a large rooftop ledge with some supplies on it.
  • 8 of 11: Walk around up there until Father Grigori calls to you and says he's sending a cart over for you.
  • 9 of 11: It's a slow old cart, and you'll have to spend your time waiting for it by shooting a bunch of fast zombies that come after you. This isn't a hard combat, but there are several interesting and diverse strategies available.
  • 10 of 11: Eventually, the cart will come over to your side with a high-pitched squeakety-squeak noise.
  • 11 of 11: After it arrives, get in it and use the yellow-handled lever nearby to get it going.
