The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Section 1: Antlion Guard Battle and Stuck Lift (ep2_outland_05)
1 of 9: Walk up the sloping path that leads outside, then wait for Alyx and the vort to catch up and make a few comments on the Combine assault forces you see in the distance.
2 of 9: Move the barrels out of your way and go down the path beyond them to reach ground level, then turn left to find a supply crate.
3 of 9: A ways past that, you'll come to a large open area with three active thumpers in it. Antlions will spawn as you proceed.
5 of 9: After the guardian combat is over, run around and pick up any leftover supplies, then follow the vort over to the large lift that's near one of the mine tunnel entrances.
6 of 9: After he starts the generator, go through the opened door and try the lift's call button to discover that it's stuck.
