Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Zombie/ine Combat Tips
1 of 14: The first zombine comes at you by itself soon after you enter the first fence room, so just blast it with the shotgun if it gets too close before Alyx can kill it.
2 of 14: However, as you slosh along in the area between the two fence rooms, several zombies will appear and attack from both directions.
3 of 14: Before you leave the first fence room, find the wooden door that's in the wall next to that fence room's entrance doorway. (It's just to the left of the "Danger High Voltage" sign.)
4 of 14: Some zombies will break out of the room behind that wooden door when you hit the trigger point for the attack, so get the explosive barrel that's in the first fence room and set it directly in front of that door.
5 of 14: Put one pistol bullet into the barrel, then look around for some non-explosive barrels and wooden pallets.
6 of 14: Use them to block the narrow pathway that connects the first fence room to the middle area, being careful not to trigger the attack by going into the middle area.
7 of 14: NOTE: It's best if both barrels are lying on their sides instead of standing up. The zombines are a bit less likely to try to knock them around that way.
8 of 14: Go back into the first fence room and stand to where you can see two dormant zombines and two explosive barrels inside the second fence room with the aid of your flashlight.
9 of 14: Put one pistol bullet into the nearest of the two explosive barrels, then shoot the other one twice and wait for it to explode.
10 of 14: That'll wake up the two zombines that you can see over there, so quickly shoot the other explosive barrel twice when they get near it.
11 of 14: Stay in the first fence room and have the shotgun ready to blast any zombines that manage to make it past your little blockade, though none should.
12 of 14: Then knock your blockade items out of the way and go into the area between the fence rooms to hit the attack trigger.
13 of 14: The only zombies left are the ones behind the wooden door you put an explosive barrel in front of earlier, so shoot that barrel twice with the pistol to blow it up.
14 of 14: Go over to the newly opened room and finish off any survivors, then look around in it to find several health vials.
