Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get past these generators?
1 of 8: You can't while they have any orbs inside them.
2 of 8: So get rid of all the orbs, just like you did with similar generators in several previous chapters.
3 of 8: From near the top of the large ramp, start sucking and throwing away the generators' orbs.
4 of 8: When the two nearest generators are orb-free, move forward and approach the first generator.
5 of 8: Then immediately turn around and zap the soldiers who come through the nearby force field.
6 of 8: More soldiers will come through that same force field when you move into the second generator's area, so go back and kill them, too.
7 of 8: Return to the second generator's area and start pulling orbs out of the third generator and throwing them at the soldiers who appear up on a higher walkway ahead.
8 of 8: When the third generator is orb-free, go on past it and to where you can pull down any remaining soldiers from the walkway above.
