The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
More Antlion Worker Combat Tips
1 of 13: Move up to the board-and-barrel barricade to get the first antlion worker to appear on its other side.
2 of 13: Strafe left for cover while it spits at you, then use the crowbar to bash away the barricade's boards.
3 of 13: Use the gravity gun to move all of the barrels and rocks out of the narrow passageway, then pick up the nearby explosive canister and move toward the large cave.
4 of 13: The antlion worker who attacked you from the other side of the barricade may have disappeared, or he may still be around. If he is, quickly blow him up with your explosive and grab another one.
5 of 13: Move around near the cave entrance until a worker drops down in front of you, then hit him with the explosive canister.
6 of 13: If that doesn't kill him, use some of the nearby large rocks or explosive barrels.
7 of 13: Grab an explosive barrel (or a canister from the small area on the other side of the hole you came up through) with the gravity gun before you enter the cave.
8 of 13: Carry your explosive along as you go up the cave path on the right and toward a spot that's blocked by a web.
9 of 13: When you reach the web, the next antlion worker will drop down back near the cave entrance, so throw your explosive at him.
10 of 13: After bashing the web, go through it and drop down into a lower cave area.
11 of 13: When you do, another antlion worker will appear, but you can avoid having to fight him if you're fast enough.
12 of 13: As soon as you drop down, sprint for the nearby supply stash that's next to a couple of glowing grub worms, then sprint on ahead to where you can drop down into the next cave area.
13 of 13: The antlion worker won't follow you into this cave area, but he will spit at you if you move around where he can see you.
