The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Antlion Worker Avoidance Tips
1 of 5: All three of the antlion workers in this area can be avoided instead of fought, though doing so will cause you to pass up a few supplies (including an armor battery).
2 of 5: When you drop down into their tunnel, dodge the first worker's initial spit blast, then run toward him.
3 of 5: He'll be too busy trying to do his scripted jump through the ceiling hole to attack you, and you can easily get by him and run for the side room that's full of ammo.
4 of 5: From there, you can move on without having to kill any of the workers.
5 of 5: NOTE: The first worker may actually run into the side room with you if you leave him alive, so you might want to hit him with a rock or something, then only skip the last two workers.
