The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
What's the "right" way to get there?
1 of 7: Go through the doorway past the rubble to reach a room with a fence and some broken-off stairs.
2 of 7: Go up the stairs far enough to drop down on the other side of the fence.
3 of 7: Look around the area past the fence to find some supplies, including behind the locker's closed doors.
4 of 7: NOTE: If you're taking the shortcut, you may want to first go up onto the stairs far enough to use the gravity gun to pull in the supplies you can see from there. However, do *not* drop down behind the fence, or you'll have to continue on the regular route.
5 of 7: Drop down into the water and submerge in order to find an underwater passage.
6 of 7: Swim along it and surface to find yourself in the silo, and already under fire from Combine soldiers.
7 of 7: NOTE: That's why the shortcut way is better -- you don't get fired on right away.
