The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
How can I move on to the next cave room?
1 of 8: You can see it through a bunch of stalactites and stalagmites, but you can't get past them.
2 of 8: Try diving down and looking around.
3 of 8: You'll find two interesting things underwater.
4 of 8: One of them is a well-lit web that has some bodies and a box of shotgun shells trapped in it.
5 of 8: Bash the web to release the shells so you can grab them.
6 of 8: Then dive down the short tunnel below the web and bash another one to release an armor battery.
7 of 8: A bit to the right of the web area is a large underwater passage that leads to the next cave.
8 of 8: An antlion will drop into the water right in front of you as you go through the passage, but you don't have to worry about him -- just let him thrash around and die (or whack him with the crowbar to speed things up).
