Half-Life 2 Hints
Where do I go from the thumper?
1 of 4: Look around for a rocky slope without any grass on it that leads up from the sand.
2 of 4: Look a ways to the left of the beach that slopes down to the ocean.
3 of 4: When you've spotted it to the left of a low grassy rock, kill off any antlions near it (using the gravity gun and explosive barrels to save on ammo) and make a run for it.
4 of 4: As soon as you're on the rocky slope, turn and shoot down all the currently spawned antlions, starting with the closest ones.
