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

How can I get through this second tunnel section?

  • 1 of 5: Start by breaking open the supply crate at the tunnel entrance to find a couple more health vials.
  • 2 of 5: Then find the nearby stairs that lead down, watching out for a poison headcrab that's just past the stairs.
  • 3 of 5: Past the stairs, walk up to the tunnel exit to find that it's totally boarded over.
  • 4 of 5: You'll have to break through those boards somehow, but the gravity gun won't be able to do it.
  • 5 of 5: Once the boards are bashed out, you can go outside through the tunnel exit.
