The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints

How can I get through this tunnel?

  • 1 of 7: Follow the tunnel's tracks along until you reach a boarded-over doorway.
  • 2 of 7: As you move along, you'll find two of a new type of red explosive canister behind a fence on the right.
  • 3 of 7: In the room past that, look for armor batteries in two open lockers, one of which has debris piled in front of it.
  • 4 of 7: Then drop down through the huge hole in the floor.
  • 5 of 7: Not far past the hole is a barricade that you'll have to get through.
  • 6 of 7: Turn right past the barricade and go down a few steps to see the tunnel's exit ahead.
  • 7 of 7: As you go for it, watch out for the zombies and antlions who are fighting each other nearby.
