Half-Life 2 Hints
Problem with Dog's Ball
1 of 4: If you have Dog's ball, it can be a pain to get it up the ladder and through the trap door.
2 of 4: You can't use the standard tactic of climbing a short way up the ladder, then looking down and picking up the ball with the gravity gun -- that doesn't work here.
3 of 4: Instead, climb up the ladder far enough to open the trap door, then climb back down to the floor.
4 of 4: Pick up the ball and then reclimb the ladder carefully while looking up so that the ball goes through the trap door first.
