Half-Life 2/"We Don't Go To Ravenholm": Difference between revisions

Once you reach the mine shaft, look down and you'll see a series of wooden planks in various states forming a scaffold down to the bottom. You need to carefully find your way along and down these instead of just jumping off and plummeting to the bottom; you won't survive, and even if you do you will promptly be mauled by a ton of headcrabs of all types that litter the bottom. If you do this right, you should end up dropping onto a metal walkway above the cavern at the bottom with a group of medpacks on it. Follow the metal walkway around the cavern until you reach the lit windowed room above the ground. In here are a group of supply crates and a shotgun, giving you some shotgun ammo and an SMG grenade, including some suit power. Now, use the SMG, pistol and the various explosive barrels dotted around the bottom of the cavern to get rid of the headcrabs. Once there are only a few left you can drop down and deal with them using any of your other weapons. You need to then find  some metal stairs to another metal walkway section that's broken off from the one you first landed on, and use this to hop across to the top of the sealed mine tunnel with a fire in it. There are some more fast and poison headcrabs in here, so use the pistol and explosive barrel to get rid of them. Once they're dead, turn the corner and use the wooden planks on either side of the shaft to get across to the supplies by the corpse on the other side, then drop down to the water at the bottom. Follow the underwater tunnel around to the next shaft, and use the barnacle to ascend up to the corpse stranded near the top, where there's another medpack and some magnum ammo. Kill the barnacle and drop down to the water again, and this time hop over the wooden crossbraces into the next underwater tunnel.
