Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints

Section 2: Strider in the Train Yard (ep1_c17_06)

  • 1 of 11: After Alyx tells Barney and the other guys to get going, she'll open up another Combine door in the back of the room.
  • 2 of 11: Go through the door and watch through the glass walls as Barney leaves on his train.
  • 3 of 11: After he's gone, Alyx will drop a nearby force field so you can continue.
  • 4 of 11: Make your way to the back of the area, where Alyx will run over to a large, closed metal door on the right.
  • 5 of 11: Right after Alyx squeezes under the partly open door, a strider will show up and start shooting up the place!
  • 6 of 11: Now you're going to have to make your way across to a high-up ledge on the other side of the train yard in order to find the rockets you need to destroy this thing with.
  • 7 of 11: Once you're on the rocket ledge, you'll need to figure out the best way to shoot the strider down.
  • 8 of 11: After the strider is dead, you can optionally rocket a couple of soldiers in its area before you climb down the ladder at the other end of your ledge.
  • 9 of 11: Raid the nearby supply crates while waiting for Alyx to run out and congratulate you.
  • 10 of 11: When she says to jump onto the nearby train, get onto the small platform in the back of the rear train car.
  • 11 of 11: After she gets on, you can just relax and watch the ending (such as it is).
