Half-Life 2 Hints
Hiding in the Corner Strategy
1 of 6: This cool strategy was contributed by James Thorpe, who discovered that there's a way to keep the fast zombies from even trying to come up the drain pipes.
2 of 6: When you emerge on the rooftop ledge, go around and collect whatever items you want, then turn and look at Father Grigori to get him to start talking to you.
3 of 6: When he does, immediately retreat back into the small squarish area with the now-closed trap door in it.
4 of 6: Scrunch into the corner where the box of shotgun shells is (or was, if you picked it up). That will put you to where the trap door is on your right as you face outward.
5 of 6: If you stand exactly there and wait, no fast zombies will climb up to your ledge at all!
6 of 6: So just wait there until Grigori's squeaky little cart arrives, then get in it and go across. Super easy!
