Half-Life 2 Hints
Secret Area
1 of 8: After killing the headcrab, get up onto the ledge it was on.
2 of 8: Look to the left of the ledge for a way to do that.
3 of 8: There are some wooden crates piled up in a usable staircase formation.
4 of 8: Jump up onto the biggest crate, then bash the supply crate to get it out of the way.
5 of 8: Then jump onto the crate that the supply crate was on, and from there to the ledge.
6 of 8: If that doesn't work for you, use the three barrels nearby to build a 2-1 staircase that you can jump up to get to the ledge.
7 of 8: Crouch-walk along the ledge past the lambda logo to find a .357 and two frag grenades.
8 of 8: NOTE: There's also a supply crate on the ground hidden under the wooden pallets.
