Half-Life 2 Hints
Side Area Notes
1 of 5: There are two narrow side passages with short railings across them that you can use to enter the side area.
2 of 5: The side area's main room has two side rooms -- one with a health station and lots of supplies, and another with a poison zombie in it.
3 of 5: Your antlions can't enter the side area to help you, so you're on your own with this one.
4 of 5: You can either rush right for the supplies and then run back out, thereby avoiding the zombie, or you can kill it by using the gravity gun to throw laundry carts at it.
5 of 5: You could stand near the doorway to the supply room and use the gravity gun to pull out all the supplies. That'll keep the poison zombie from spawning, but you won't be able to use the supply room's health station.
