Half-Life 2/Route Kanal: Difference between revisions

 

In the new area you have a seesaw as the only path forward, but the wrong end is pointing up. You need to weigh down the other. To do so, pick up the bricks scattered around the area and put them on the end of the seesaw you wish to push down. Put them as far from the middle as you can-this increases their overall force (force=mass x distance). You’ll probably need pretty much all the bricks, and they’re scattered everywhere. Eventually you will be able to climb to the top but don’t rush out blindly. A helicopter hovers down. Stay in the shadows to avoid it. This hunter-chopper will be following you for the rest of this and the next level.  When it is gone make a left then a left again. The copter will be following you and shooting. Past the ruined gate, shoot the barnacle, don’t get caught by it (it leaves you in the open and defenceless) and move the barrels out of the way and get through the door. Opposite you is a ladder. Climb down it and pick up the health and ammo at the bottom. Return up, and move up the slope, turning left at the top. There is a pool of water with a low ceiling with a dead body, explosive barrel and health at the back of the room. Return back and walk to the right of the upper level. Here you see a greased slope with a collection of barnacles. Throw the explosive barrel down the slope and shoot it twice when the barnacles pick it up. Follow it down the slope and jump over the railings to the next room, which has exactly the same setup. Repeat. Open the door and run to the left, where the helicopter can shoot at you for the first time.
