Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get to the third safe room?
1 of 8: While still in the second safe room, peek carefully out the door and snipe soldiers that you can see past the big window frame ahead with bars in it.
2 of 8: NOTE: There's both .357 and crossbow ammo in the safe room, so you can feel safe in using those worthy sniping weapons.
3 of 8: After you snipe two or three soldiers and hear a warp cannon blast (in either order), go outside when the striders can't see you and look to the ruined room directly above the safe room's doorway for one more soldier to snipe.
4 of 8: Then run up the big sloping rubble pile that's nearby.
5 of 8: At the top of the rubble, run forward and take cover behind a large piece of concrete near the corner. There'll be a soldier or two plus a Combine elite shooting at you from the area just ahead.
6 of 8: TIP: You can probably just crouch next to the concrete for cover and let resistance guys do all the shooting.
7 of 8: After those soldiers are down, move forward to find three supply crates, then head left and search the walls for health and armor rechargers.
8 of 8: The safe room you're after is the tiny one that's just past the three rechargers -- notice the supply crates in it.
