The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
How can I ride up in the lift?
1 of 11: Try using the lift control to lower it again.
2 of 11: Now hit the lift control and sprint as fast as you can for the lift.
3 of 11: Unfortunately, you won't be fast enough -- it'll be gone when you get there.
4 of 11: Maybe if you weighted it down, it wouldn't be able to rise up before you could get to it.
5 of 11: Raise the lift and look down in the area below it to find two bundles of small metal beams.
6 of 11: Move them onto the nearby floor, then lower the lift and put the beam bundles on it.
7 of 11: Also put the beam bundle from the nearby corner onto the lift, for a total of three.
8 of 11: Now go hit the lift control again.
9 of 11: Ha! The lift can't budge an inch!
10 of 11: Get on the lift, then throw off the metal beam bundles in order to lighten the load.
11 of 11: Once you're the only thing left on the lift, it'll slowly rise up.
