The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Strider #1 Tips
1 of 6: As with most of these strider encounters, you'll want to take out Strider #1's hunter escort first.
2 of 6: One way to do that is to stay near the sawmill and snipe the hunter with the crossbow or blast it with rockets from the RPG.
3 of 6: Another way is to get into the car, wait until the hunter is fairly close to the sawmill (and not behind some trees), and then zoom forward and run it over.
4 of 6: If you keep going past the strider, it shouldn't be able to stomp you, and probably won't turn to shoot you.
5 of 6: You can then drive up behind it, get out of the car, and use the sticky bomb on the car's bomb rack to take down the strider.
6 of 6: If you instead stay near the sawmill and snipe the hunter, hide behind some nearby large rocks until the strider comes near, then use the sticky bomb from the sawmill's dispenser port on it.
