Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints

I took a lift to the warehouse basement, but can't get anywhere!

  • 1 of 5: All those monsters getting you down?
  • 2 of 5: It's a fairly big area, with lots and lots of headcrabs and alien slaves. You'll probably spend awhile in strategic combat (try shooting explosive barrels near monsters) before you can figure out where to go.
  • 3 of 5: Have you found the wrecked area with the huge blue electric bolts shooting periodically across it?
  • 4 of 5: When you do, be sure to save, and then sit there and watch the bolts' patterns before you attempt to cross.
  • 5 of 5: Once you're past that, you'll quickly come to a dead end with a tempting-looking vent access that's just out of reach.
