The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Poison Zombie Combat Tips
1 of 10: As things are, you'll have very little room to maneuver.
2 of 10: So before you approach the poison zombie's door, arrange a way to get back up to a higher floor.
3 of 10: Use three of the nearby crates to make a 2-1 crate staircase to the right of the crouch-only wall hole so that you can jump back up to the higher floor.
4 of 10: Crouch down next to the wall hole and use the gravity gun to pull the chair away from the zombie's door, allowing him to break through.
5 of 10: Quickly back away and jump up your crate staircase before the zombie can break through the wall and come after you.
6 of 10: Once you're up on the higher floor, you can look down at the zombie and shoot him at your leisure.
7 of 10: Start by letting him throw poison headcrabs at you. Dodge them, then quickly crowbar-whack them before they can attack.
8 of 10: To save ammo, you can drop down and crowbar-whack the zombie after it throws all of its spare headcrabs at you. You'll have to carefully dodge its arm swipes, but that shouldn't be too hard.
9 of 10: Better yet, you can use the gravity gun to throw the two blue laundry carts at the zombie over and over until it's dead.
10 of 10: In fact, if you drop a laundry cart down there before you drop down, you won't have to build a "staircase" to get back up. You can just quickly squash the zombie with the laundry cart when he breaks through the wall.
