adfegg Posted February 15, 2008 So, I'm currently playing Half-Life for the first time ever(the FPS genre passed me by until quite recently) and I seem to have hit a brick wall. I'm in the level called 'Apprehension' in an area with a sea creature in the water below and a handy crossbow in the shark cage above. Now, if I'm lucky I do manage to score enough hits on the monster to kill it, a few seconds before I drown. The damn thing just moves too fast, what else should I be doing?

toblix Posted February 15, 2008 If I remember correctly, you should concentrate on getting the crossbow before taking out the beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted February 15, 2008 Yeah, there is a way to get in that cage before going in the water, and the crossbow is the best weapon you have against the alien shark (damn that thing is scary!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adfegg Posted February 15, 2008 Oops, sorry. I thought I had made it understood that I did have the crossbow in the scenario I described above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted February 15, 2008 Hmmm, it is a tough fight. I guess just try and grab some breaths while fighting it. Remember that using using sprint will also decrease your oxygen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redwall Posted February 15, 2008 In the sloping hallway where you can get back to dry ground the icthyosaur can't get to you (it's too big), so just stay in there and shoot out as best you can (IIRC; maybe my memory of the geometry is wrong). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
