The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Is there a way to save the sawmill and its sticky bomb dispenser port?
1 of 5: Yes, though it's a bit hard to do. The rest of the strider tips will assume you didn't bother, but read on if you want to try.
2 of 5: First of all, you'll have to be very close to the sawmill when Strider #1 dies, so plan on that while fighting it.
3 of 5: As soon as it's down, grab another sticky bomb from the sawmill's dispenser port, then run east to where Strider #2 is about to come around a group of trees.
4 of 5: It'll fire right after it rounds those trees and stops, so you'll have to quickly sticky-bomb it before it can finish firing.
5 of 5: That can be a little tricky, so you should quicksave right after you pick up the sticky bomb so you can try again if you mess up.
