The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
I'm getting another lambda signal on the radar! Where's this stash at?
1 of 13: You're almost upon it when you first detect it, so pull over and get out of the car.
2 of 13: Look behind a huge boulder to find a lambda symbol painted on the ground.
3 of 13: Stuck next to it is a wooden arrow pointing up.
4 of 13: Look up to see the stash hanging a ways above you on a metal basket.
5 of 13: It's too high up to reach, even with the gravity gun, and you can't cut or break the ropes holding it up there.
6 of 13: So throw something at the basket to knock the supplies off of it.
7 of 13: An RPG rocket would certainly do the trick, but a more ammo-conservative way has been provided for you.
8 of 13: There are two large rocks setting on the ground near the lambda symbol that you could use as gravity gun ammo.
9 of 13: Toss them at the metal basket to hopefully knock some stuff down.
10 of 13: You may have to do this several times to get everything.
11 of 13: For a slightly better spot to fire rocks from, you can use the smaller boulders nearby to jump up onto one of the larger ones.
12 of 13: If you lose track of your rocks, you can go down the road a bit farther to find some pumpkins and crates near a wrecked truck.
13 of 13: NOTE: One of the loose items up there is a pulse rifle energy orb, so be *sure* to get it! Also, get the one that's in a supply crate.
