Half-Life 2 Hints
Section 1: Zombie Tunnel and Two Outposts (d2_coast_09)
1 of 14: Before you get back outside, you're going to have to pass through a dark junk-strewn tunnel full of zombies. You're really going to wish the darn jeep's headlights worked!
3 of 14: When you're ready to leave, use the gravity gun to knock some of the car debris out of the way so you can drive by. (Note that it's easiest to clear a passage on the left side of the tunnel.)
4 of 14: Back outside, you'll soon come to a road barricade with two vehicles and several crates.
5 of 14: You can either push carefully through the crates and nudge the white car out of your way, or you can go offroad and drive along until you can get back on (just past the big white house that's coming up).
6 of 14: The big white house that's off to the side of the road near a long beach area is optional, so you can just drive right on by it.
7 of 14: You'll soon come to a Combine outpost with little pop-up things in the road that are designed to overturn the jeep if you try to drive through without stopping.
8 of 14: You can drive through at full speed without getting overturned, but it's a tricky business, so quicksave first if you're going to try this. Otherwise, use the combat tips below to sneak up on the outpost and clear it out before slowly driving through it.
9 of 14: A ways past the outpost, watch out for a spot where a large chunk of the road is missing. When you get to it, carefully drive around it on the left.
10 of 14: You'll then come to a big roadblock area near a red shed which used to be a resistance outpost, but which is now being annexed by the Combine.
11 of 14: The first thing to do is finish off all the Combine soldiers so they can't prevent your escape.
12 of 14: Drive the jeep over the mound of dirt that's to the right of the tanker truck to get past that part of the roadblock and reach the next part.
13 of 14: Search around the outside of the red shed as well as inside for armor batteries, then use the gravity gun to knock the red car out from in front of the gate.
