Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
Now how do I get outta here?
1 of 8: When the machine aligns and the aliens teleport in, run for the nearby cave.
2 of 8: Inside, an alien slave will be crushed by a cave-in, which is also your ticket out of this mess.
3 of 8: First, you might want to move around the cave-in to find the health kits if you haven't done this already. (You can also use the Use key to open a box that has another health kit and some ammo in it.)
4 of 8: To leave the cave, carefully hop up the debris ladder. It isn't hard if you do a few crouch-jumps in the middle.
5 of 8: Past that, drop down into the health pool, then continue onwards to an outdoor area with a trampoline, a bullchicken, a couple of teleport-in alien slaves, and two flying freaks called alien controllers.
6 of 8: This is all optional, except for running on to the long headcrab-infested tunnel. You can use the trampoline to jump out to a platform with a dead HEV guy and some ammo, or you can just skip it. (If you do whoosh out there, you can jump back normally since the platform is higher up than the pathway.)
7 of 8: Once you're through the headcrab tunnel, you'll be confronted by a couple of alien slaves. You'll then be back on the old raised circular trail, and the teleport field leading back to the lab will be open, with Dr. Rosenberg's voice coming through.
8 of 8: Ignore the alien grunt further up the path and jump for that field before it closes!
