Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Antlion-Fighting Tips
1 of 5: Look for the little sparklies in the air that mark the pits, then plug the nearest two with cars (just like you've done before).
2 of 5: TIP: Start by using the white car that's up on a little black-and-white pole to block the pit that's a ways forward and a bit to the right of it, then go block the one that's just past the green car.
3 of 5: After the first two holes are blocked, retreat all the way back to the blue Combine wall area and wait while several soldiers rappel down from buildings and fight the antlions that emerge from the final spawning pit.
4 of 5: You can hide behind the truck that's near the Combine walls and peek over it to pop soldiers long-distance with your pistol if you have plenty of pistol ammo.
5 of 5: When you're sure the soldiers are all dead, run forward and plug the last pit with the car that's near it.
