Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints

Where am I supposed to go in all these little tunnels?

  • 1 of 6: You've figured out to bash the vine-like growths that block some tunnel entrances and exits, right?
  • 2 of 6: So explore around and see what you can find.
  • 3 of 6: Here's a map if you want to see the whole area at once and plan your route.
  • 4 of 6: On the map, S means a dead HEV-wearing scientist, which is good to visit because of the ammo packs they always have.
  • 5 of 6: Once you hit both S areas, head to the watery room and then onwards to the floating platform jumpathon.
  • 6 of 6: But first, you might want to visit Chumtoad's Lair.
