Stuck in Route Kanal w/Helicopter attacking

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

Hi everyone, I'm in Route Kanal. I'm believe I'm early in Route Kanal. I'm
currently stuck in a large, watery but open area --open in the sense that
I'm outside. There is a single dead body in this area with several wooden
boxes near the body. I busted all of them but none had anything inside. I
have a helicopter attacking me. I can't seem to figure out how to move on
from this place. I can see some canals with steel bars over them but cannot
get through them. If I go to the left there is one of those things at the
end that hangs from the ceiling and pulls you up. There is health sitting at
the bottom of it. This path takes you to a blue door where there are many
barrels in front of it. None of the barrels will blow up when shot. Moving
the barrels does not gain access to the blue door. Is the blue door the way
out? Using "E" does not open the door. Nothing I can do opens the door. The
helicopter kills me within seconds. If I continue past the blue door a large
wooden board prevents further progress along this catwalk. I've begun to be
very frustrated. Please, how does one move on from here. It stopped being
fun.

Shoot the barnacle and jump up onto the platform it was protecting and run
across it to the other side. There will be a pile of barrels blocking a
door. Move them. Either with your crowbar or your USE key. But move them
so that you can get at the door handle. Then quickly get inside and away
from the helicopter.

Hi, I've just finished playing this section - the blue door is the one you
want - be quick, pick up the barrels using 'E', spin round, hit your mouse
button (primary fire) to throw them out of the way, and get in through that
door sharpish!

Best of luck.

Just had a thought - if the barrels are gone & the door definitely doesn't
open you may have a corrupted savegame - try re-loading from an earlier
point.

If this is the part I'm thinking of you initially come down a steep,
slippery slope into that area? From the slope you go left, up onto a
catwalk, around to a door with barrels in front of it - this sounds like
the same area/same door? Move all the barrels and the door 'should'
open. If not you may have hit a bug and perhaps need to restart that
level. Shaun

I'm just played this level and remember the helicopter, but can't see
I reconnize exacly where you are. But try either clibing up to get
over, or dive and try to find a way to swim under things 🙂

You need to go through that blue door and it should open once the
barrels have been moved like the others have said.
