Half-Life 2 Hints
Stash Notes
1 of 7: Look near all the white twisting pipes.
2 of 7: On a ledge a ways down is the lambda symbol near two supply crates.
3 of 7: If you stand right where the small walkway break is and look down at the crates, you can probably pull them in with the gravity gun without accidentally dropping them into the abyss.
4 of 7: Or there's a ladder you could use if you prefer.
5 of 7: Jump up onto the higher walkway past the small break and find the nearby vertical brown pipe with the ladder on one side.
6 of 7: Get onto the walkway's railing, then get onto the ladder by going up next to it and using the "Use item" key to grab ahold of it.
7 of 7: Only climb down far enough that you can use the gravity gun to smash the crates and get their contents, then climb back up and get back onto the walkway.
