Half-Life 2 Hints
I opened a gate in the dam, but how do I get through it?
1 of 6: First of all, return to where you parked your airboat and get it back into the water if it isn't there already.
2 of 6: Go back through the gate you opened earlier and sail around to where the dam is.
3 of 6: You'll see that the leftmost part of it is open.
4 of 6: However, you can't just drive the airboat straight through it. You have to deal with another annoying ramp gimmick.
5 of 6: This ramp is truly horrible, made up of a couple of very crooked logs that are vaguely pointing in the direction of the opening.
6 of 6: Oh, well. One last time. Back up a ways and charge at the ramp full speed.
