Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Section 1: Escorting Citizens to Trains (ep1_c17_05)
1 of 11: NOTE: The lazy game may not bother to print the new chapter title on the screen like it should when you first enter this chapter section, but never fear -- you are in the final chapter now!
2 of 11: Go through the door on the left to get to a small room with a security camera and a boarded-over doorway.
3 of 11: You can have fun smashing the security camera with the crowbar, but it's not at all useful to do so. However, open up the nearby locker to find an armor battery and a couple of loose RPG rockets.
4 of 11: After removing the doorway's boards with the crowbar or gravity gun, go outside and approach the overturned truck on the left to find some supplies and Barney.
5 of 11: Barney will soon lead Alyx (and you, if you follow) into a small building in the back left corner of the area.
6 of 11: If you go back to that building, you'll find a health recharger inside, and three more supply crates in a truck nearby.
7 of 11: There are also supply crates in a van and a dumpster over on the other side of the area, plus an infinite rocket crate next to the dumpster.
8 of 11: TIP: Take any leftover supplies from the overturned truck (and any you brought with you) and drop them near the rocket crate for later use.
9 of 11: Once you have all that scouted out, it'll be your job to escort five small groups of two to four civilians to where they can board a train and leave City 17.
