Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I enter the prison from the yard?
1 of 6: Look around for an exit that wasn't available before the big gunship battle ended.
2 of 6: Specifically, look along the wall between the infinite rocket crate and the elevated guardhouse.
3 of 6: When the second gunship went down, it created a charred hole in that wall by blowing up some big flammable container.
4 of 6: NOTE: This charred hole sometimes appears before the second gunship is destroyed. However, you shouldn't just run for it, since the gunship will be near death -- you might as well finish it off so you can search for supplies.
5 of 6: After you go through the wall hole, you'll have to deal with a couple of fires blocking your path.
6 of 6: After you go through a door and on a ways, there'll be a huge cave-in behind you, blocking any retreat and taking you into Chapter 9: Nova Prospekt.
