The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Strider #8 Tips
1 of 8: It doesn't take this strider long to get to supply building #3, which it intends to blast, so drive over there as fast as you can right after destroying Strider #7.
2 of 8: Replace your car's sticky bomb and grab any supplies that you need, then get in the car and drive back to supply building #4.
3 of 8: After Strider #8 appears, listen for the sound of it running over to supply building #3 to stop.
4 of 8: Drive down to the south end of the train tracks, then go slowly SE along the hillside until you can see supply building #3 and the strider way off to the east.
5 of 8: You can now pull the same distance-shooting routine on this strider's two hunters that you did on Strider #7's hunters, but you'll have to be even more careful about not getting close enough to trigger the warp cannon blast before you're done.
6 of 8: When both hunters are dead, get in the car and drive back to supply building #4, and then around past the sawmill and water tower so you can come up behind this strider as it blasts supply building #3.
7 of 8: As before, park near the strider and get out, then use your car's sticky bomb to destroy the strider.
8 of 8: Also as before, it is possible to save supply building #3, but it's a bit of a pain, and the tips for the last batch of striders will assume you didn't bother.
