I thought it would be an idea to create a thread for people to come for help when they get stuck (like me :p)

*Here comes the first spoiler...*





When you activate the elevator that (supposivly) goes down to the core (the glass one) and the car/metal falls and breaks the glass, what are you suppose to do? I have tried to shoot them away with my mavity gun and cant see any ledges to jump on too :/

Cheers,

Just grab the falling peices and throw them away before they hit. Once the elevator stops, grab the Combine balls and fire them into the large combine ball holder on the wall to get the lift moving again.
 
A few places after you will need to use the energy balls again - to re-set energy bridges etc.
 
Managed to suss it out, and just completed it :) Was a pretty good ending, the last strider wiped me out twice :(

Craig
 
yeah, i really wasn't sure which route to take with the strider, in the end i balanced 3 boxes gingerly on top of each other and clambered up onto the top level, then ran across and filled up me rockets :D
 
I did expect a bit more out of it really - just a tad more story. I felt like it didn't move anything on at all.

Was an enjoyable romp through the HL world though. Great start with the "rollercoaster" car :) And fighting in the carpark against the masses of zombies with only your torch for light was intense too. And I think having Alyx by your side for most of it added to the level of immersion - Vavle implemented it really well.

Oh - and it backed up my opinion that the source engine is just superb :) Some of the exterior landscapes with that imposting citadel towering over were amazing. Plus, it ran faultlessly on my now mid-range spec PC.

Roll on Ep2 - but I want more story!!
 
I need help on a bit where I've just entered the core, climbed up a ladder, round a corner few bridges etc.... have come to a dead end:

Have tried pulling out computer terminals etc and spamming pull all around the room but can't really get very far. Tried stacking terminals so I can climb to the ledge above but they are too unstable.
 
See the thing on the wall to your right? You need to go outside (of that room) and grab a Dark Orb with your grav gun and shoot it into them to power it up :)

Craig
 
Yeah I figured out there was a power conduit in that room, didn't realise it was there. I'm now in the city and have just got some guns after crawling through some vents, gotta figure out how to open some locked door from the other side though...
