"We don't go to Ravenholme"

I'm stuck at a dead end where there is an electric fence with a ladder on it. I can't seem to find out how to turn off this electricity so I can climb over the ladder without being fried to bits. I've tried tossing everything I can find over the fence using the gravity gun but have had no luck.

Any suggestions?

Go back to the area with the burning stakes and zombies. You can find a lever to shut off the gas which will give you a way into the building. I'll let you go from there as you should be able to figure it out.

It took me a bit to figure this part out, so dont feel bad!

I'm pretty sure there is a switch upstairs in a building nearby. I'm guessing because I remember thinking that I must be disarming some trap both times I have played but I never really encountered it and *then* needed to hit the switch.

Ravenholme is pretty tricky throughout so you may need even more help later

I was stuck there for quite a while too. There's a switch upstairs somewhere.

Thanks, I'll take another look around.

Yeah the problem with this is there is a burning car or something in front of the building entrance when you enter the level. There is room to walk around it but after seeing so many "backdrop" buildings you assume this one is the same and walk right by it. They do give you a hint by showing that the electrical cord goes up to a room window, but like the rest of you I was stuck here for a while too.

Yup, found it with your assistance and now that I know where it was it seems obvious.

I guess there is a downside to having such a graphically rich world - sometimes you miss the clues.
