Just a quick guide for the first episode of the three to be released. I played
this game first on the PC and what an ordeal it was to load the game. Though
I have figured out Steam at this time, I decided to do this guide after getting
the Orange Box and covering Episode Two. After this I plan to cover the first
game as well and Portal at some point. I may make some sort of Half-Life 2
package for all the related games, but not Team Fortress 2.
For now, just enjoy this quick guide on a short, but sweet, episode.

*****************************************************************************
*Save SMG grenades and Energy balls for Hunters - both are the alt fire for
the SMG and Pulse Rifle. You run into Hunters often enough that saving these
will pay off.
*Explore to success - always search areas for health and ammo. The areas are
not too expansive, so a little searching won't kill you.
*Use the Gravity Gun when you can - if you see a saw blade, that's an obvious
clue to use the GG. See a lot of gas tanks and red barrels? Same story. Even
a rock or normal barrel will be enough to inflict damage.
*A loaded gun is a not happy gun - sitting on a full clip of ammo in any
weapon does you no good, and you get plenty of ammo throughout.
*Chuck a grenade into big groups - simple as that. Tossing a grenade will send
it pretty far, so always know your range.
*Don't forget to run - not just the normal stride, you also have a sprint
button. It's your only way to avoid charging enemies, but don't forget to use
it during normal encounters.
*Drive in bursts - the best way to drive the car is to press the gas in little
spurts. Pushing forward at full speed is just crazy.
*Play for achievements later - some can be attained during a normal run, but
don't go after the more elaborate ones until after you get through one game at
least. Don't forget you can check your achievement progress from the pause
menu.
*Alyx is a B****! - really, she is a combat ally in this game, but most of the
time she will be right on your back and prevent you from backpedaling. Not to
mention she will be blocking the path behind you in most situations, such as
going back through a door. Just know that she's behind you.

This guide was made on the default settings. Achievements are somewhat
addressed, but this is not a guide on how to get every one. Read ahead to get
a better sense of what is happening. The only thing you can do is read and
hopefully connect the dots with what you see on the game screen.
Picking up right where we left off.
======================
Chapter 1: Undue Alarm
======================
Okay, so after the very odd opening cutscene, you awake under some debris and
have a bit of a scene. Pick up the Gravity Gun and follow the events that
follow. When Alyx hops up, go to the right and look at the wooden boards
holding up a gate. Pull down all three boards to drop the gate and get up. Go
to the computer and watch and listen.
After that, Dog pulls up some wreckage from a dropship and you can crouch under
to get through. Inch over the edge to find the path along the cliff. When you
get to the gap, stand back, press your sprint button, and then jump across; you
should barely make it. Keep following the path, crouch under some debris,
blast away a car with the GG (gravity gun), and you will hit a dead end.
Not much to do but watch where Dog goes. He goes behind somewhere and starts
searching for something, so just stand back and watch out for the falling car.
Then jump in and enjoy the pleasant ride.
After you step out of the van, and after it falls to oblivion, look left and
go that way (straight ahead is nothing). Follow the corridor until you hit a
load screen.
Move ahead and then you two will stop to look out into a canyon-like area
where things look really messed up. Then hop over the rails on the left to get
on track. Follow the hall and you end at a locked field with Stalkers on the
other side. Alyx then sees some Roller Mines in another area and she will open
a field to let you through.
Crouch down and follow the small path. You will arrive at a ledge with a rugged
looking platform just a bit down below. You have to jump down to this platform
and then quickly jump down to the right before the platform falls. Do so and
then go across an active elevator to reach the mines. First, use the suit armor
station on the wall to get some hitpoints. If you'll notice, you're still all
juiced up from the first game.
Go over to the button. When you push it, the mines will drop and they will all
try to attack you. Blast a few away and make sure you grab at least one, the
rest will bounce themselves away. Don't stand by the sides or the mines may
bounce you off. And if you lose all of them, more will fill the tube so you can
try again.
Make your way to the elevator and take the mine back to Alyx. Hold it to her
and she will make it friendly. Just drop it by the field and the mine will do
the rest. Then you are free to pass.
Take the open path to get back out to the canyon area. When you make a turn
along the ledge you will see Combine out and about, but they don't harm you at
the moment. Crouch under debris to reach the bridge they came from and follow
it the way they came. Move the debris with your GG and be careful of the flames
in this room. Some energy thing will happen, but just keep going.
When you get to a rail, hop over to find a ledge. There will be a bridge not
far away, and if you look across you will see soldiers coming right for you.
All you can do is watch. The only way to get across is by sprint past the
energy vortex thing. Step a bit onto the bridge and as soon as you see the
swirl of energy go away, hold down sprint and run. Stop and wait for your
friend to join you and then proceed.
Keep following the path before you and hop over another rail when you hit it.
Watch as the girl works on the computer. Something strange happens and then you
guys will be on your way. Move along until you hit another confiscation room
where the GG is changed back to the way it was at the end of the last game.
Collect it and move onto another load screen.
Move to another bridge, but you will have to turn this one on. Look down for
some energy balls just hangin' around, and pick one up with the GG. Send it
into the energy port below the bridge with the red light to be on your way.
Cross the bridge, but you are stopped by fire and then some Combine appear.
Suck them in with the gun and try to launch the bodies at the other guys, but
you will probably end up just sucking in all of them. Get off the bridge and
look left to find more coming from a fieldway and down a path on the side.
After about nine or so they will all be gone.
Now go to the other inactive bridge and put energy orbs into each port. Go
across and you get yet another round of Combine. This time they come from
literally all sides; behind, front, the side, and up. Get the ones up high
and then keep an eye on the few that come from your back as you take care of
the ones coming from the left side field.
After that, go to the bridge and look down yet again. The port on the right is
fine, but the one on the left is blocked by a shield. You have to send a ball
at an angle to the spot just above the shield. You are trying to get the ball
to hit the wall and then the shield and then bounce itself into the port. After
that is done, get across the bridge.
Follow the path until you see some kind of spark on the floor. Go around the
corner and be anticipating some soldiers. Keep moving until you hit yet another
part of the canyon area. Go around the corner and when you hit a floor area
that is clear, look right to see a lone soldier trying to shoot at you. Suck
him in and then a Dropship will come up and fly over you, so just watch what
it does.
Stay to the path after a while you find a opening in the wall that leads you
to a door for Alyx to open. Go through, another spark on the ceiling, and then
a load screen.
Move along to an elevator. Use the armor station to power up and then grab a
ball to use on the port across the elevator. When you do the descent begins.
Get to a side of the elevator and look up. There will be two objects falling to
start it off, then after a pause there is another. Your best bet is to barely
pull at the things with the GG and then blast them away. May take a few tries.
Then you stop. No more falling sky for the moment. Instead, look across the way
to see another energy port behind some glass. Pull at the computer on the right
from afar to open a hole. Then turn around and grab a ball from the beams.
Send it to the wall behind the hole so that it will bounce toward the port and
hopefully right in; may take a few tries.
Then things get back to going, so look up. Just one falling sky item this time
and then another stop. There are two computers on each side of the wall-piece
in front of the port, so move both. Then grab a ball and send it into the
port. You should go down a bit, but then come back up. There is a Stalker in
the room to the left that is messing with you. You must grab a ball and send
it into that area so that you take out the dude. There is an opening to the
room on the left of the port, so angle in some orbs a few times and one will
hit him. Then power up the lift and get going.
The lift begins to move very fast, so now you should look down in anticipation
of the exit. When you get to the bottom you can look up to see something very
big start to fall. Just get off the elevator and onto solid ground. Turn around
to watch the elevator get pummeled. Move through the sliding door to a load
screen.
==============================
Chapter 2: Direct Intervention
==============================
When you go through the next gate you run into a group of soldiers in a
computer room. Those little bastards were busy trying to blow everyone up.
After a bit of a scene, follow Alyx into the side room with a armor station.
Take the elevator into the reactor room to get this thing over with.
Move into the big room and you will see two Stalkers on platforms across the
way. Look up and grab some energy balls and send them at the enemies so that
you can do your work; you can hold the ball right toward them and align the
crosshair, they usually don't move fast enough.
Now activate the port above you, and then the one across from you to get the
first bridge up. Then go across and activate the other port across the other
bridge to get it up. Go across and press a button to get all bridges pointing
toward the center platform. Go to it and take the ladder up. Get off and at
the top and go around the ledge to find a path on the wall.
Inside and toward a room you run into another group of Combine and more from
up above. Kill them and then go back outside to grab an energy ball. Take it
back to the room and send it into the port. After you get this part of the
core stabilized, more soldiers drop in from above and the opened door on the
side. They bring Manhacks, grenades, and their mean attitude to the fight.
Keep moving, take out the soldiers first, and then grab the bots. Just grab a
Manhack and shoot it directly into the floor or wall to blow it up.
Go through the door after you recharge your suit and you hit a dead end. Pull
off the cover for a corridor and jump in. You need to move quickly and you need
to avoid the coming orbs. Move left and right to avoid them and grab one if
you are toward the end so you can quickly get out. Then go up the path until
you hit another dead end. Blast off this cover and jump through for another
tango with the Combine. Kill them and get back outside.
Follow the bridge toward the core, but watch yourself. You have a very slim
path to get to the other bridge, and the core itself is pulsating. When it
receeds, sprint across to the other bridge. On the wall is another path to
a room with yet more soldiers waiting. Get the ones in the hall as they run
to you and then get the ones from above in the room itself.
There is an orb in this room for you to use on the port, and there are always
more outside. Another door opens up and you can hear more soldiers in the
distance. Take the elevator up and then go down the hall and be ready for
more enemies around the corner. Use the station on the wall and then move ahead
to the core room. Then turn around and wait for two soldiers to try and sneak
up on you.
The goal here is to get on the carousel above the core and follow the ride
until you can jump onto the platform on the right. But when you jump onto one
of the four beams, get up to the top and jump to the next one against the flow
and you should be able to get to the platform much quicker. You can then face
the oncoming Combine and get them out of the way, and then turn your attention
to the Manhacks. But if you want to spin around the ride for a while, that
does work too, you just won't have anywhere to throw the bots.
Take the path until you hit another cover on the wall; blast it and hop through
it. Go to the end and hop through another hole to reach another corridor with
more flying balls (yes, I meant to say that). The way best way to get through
this one is to move down one path and just blast the orbs as they fly toward
you. You might take some damage, but if you keep moving you will make it to the
path at the end.
Blast off the cover and get ready for more soldiers in the room (be on your
toes for energy balls fired from Pulse Rifles, those can be used against the
Combine if you can react fast enough). When they are cleared, grab an orb from
the broken glass on the wall and send it into the port. The machine will get
stuck, but you can go down below to fix the problem. Go down there to find
that three energy stations are without their balls ... I mean energy. Look up
near them to find a crack in the ceiling that has the flying orbs from the
previous corridor. Grab two and shoot them into the stations. Grab one more
and go to the platform that will take you back up, then shoot the orb into the
last station (if you light up all three from down here, the lift won't take you
back up, so you have to be on the lift).
Back up top, grab another orb and put it in the port. Then watch as everything
is back to squares. You lose all your beefiness though, for some reason, and
then you can take the opened door right back to Alyx. You hear of some black
holes and revelations and then you watch a video clip. Run with Alyx to the
safety elevator. Take it down to the train area and there is a load screen.
Go through the blast doors to a room where Alyx locks you guys in from the
enemies. Two Roller Mines drop in, so grab both and let Alyx hack them. Set
them down and wait for the door to open leading into the next room. The mines
will take out the soldiers inside ... eventually.
Then you can go through and get on the train, but use the health station near
the train before you step in. Turn on your flashlight if you must and get on.
Just stand around and wait for you to crash. Crawl to Alyx after you do and
pull the top of the Stalker-holder to get it off her. Then blast open the
cover near her and jump down. Crawl through an opening to hit a load screen.
==================
Chapter 3: Lowlife
==================
After she is ready and opens the field, go through and hit the roadway where
you run into your undead friends. The turrets on the ceiling are of no use
because they have run out of bullets, so you and her have to clear the place.
Use debris to kill the zombies, and toward the middle area you run into the
mines, so pick them up to make them friendly, but they will kill the zombies
either way. Kill the ones around the trucks and then take the dark path on
the right. Follow it to a door and then look right and down to find a vent.
Take off the cover and crawl through.
Grab some items across a gap, and one of them will be a flare that will light
your path if you want. Keep going, take a ladder, and soon you find a vent
cover. Below will be a Headcrab, so just blast down the cover to kill it, or
hop down and use something to kill it. Go to the right corner of the room to
find a fence holding some good items behind it. Use the GG to pull them to
you and through an opening in the corner of the fence. Get the Handgun and
Shotgun and others, as well as some items in the lockers nearby. Then use the
handgun on the lock on the other side of a door on the other fence. On the left
wall is the power box to let Alyx through.
Go outside with the flashlight on. Look right and pick up a red gas tank and
flinge it at the zombies with the GG. Then turn around and go get some ammo
by a dead guy. Come back and keep going right. You will hit a car with some
zombie bodies, and when you get close to the car the bodies will wake, so be
ready. Find the hole in the wall on the road to keep moving. Go around the
field of dead Antlions and then you hear some commotion. Use the GG to pick up
a gas tank on the ground and send it into the fighting bugs and zombie, kill
any survivors.
Not far away is a train, so go inside and find a body of a new type of enemy
(and where you hear the classic name Alyx gives them: Zombines). Soon, one on
the other side will blast open the path so you can get through. Grab the items
in here and get back in the tunnel. Yes, now you will fight the Zombines in
battle. Use the GG to start with to send red barrels all over the place, then
follow that up with some shotgun shells, but always stay close to Alyx so she
can help. Cautiously use the barrels so that none will blow up in your face.
Move forward and keep on your toes for more undead from all directions. Pick
up a flare from a car and set it down by the locked door if you need to catch
your breath and recharge your flashlight.
*NOTE: Zombines will sometimes pull an active grenade from their chest and
run toward you. Either kill them quickly or try to pull the grenade and shoot
it away with the GG, or back away real fast.*
Move forward and you should run into some Barnacle tongues, so avoid them and
find a door leading to a small room on the left side. Go in and use the power
box to turn on the lights. Grab the items and look back to find more zombies
on your tail; I just used the rocks on the ground to kill them. Run back to
the locked door and go through and up the stairs. Have your gun ready for the
poison headcrabs up top: one in the stairway, and two more through the door.
Go up the path a bit until you see a car, a hole in the ground, and a gate in
the corner. Use the GG to blast the car over the hole to keep the Antlions
at bay, kill the one that may have got through. Then go to the turn-wheel by
the door and hold it down so you can go through. Two headcrabs will come out,
so take care of them after the door is open. Go through and two more headcrabs
will be along the path along with some items.
When you go through a fence you will notice the huge bunch of Barnacles
covering up the path, and in the distance you will see a bunch of zombies
coming down the way. Alyx will not to stopped from killing the Barnacles, but
not shinning your light will help some, or shine the light only on the
Barnacles near you guys. Let the tongues catch the zombies, use barrels to
kill the survivors, and let Alyx clear the path of Barnacles.
When you get to the corner, more Zombines will greet you. Blow up the barrels
at the right moment to get a few in one hit, and hit the barrels by the glass
on the wall to get the others. When they are gone, go through the door and up
the stairs for a load screen.
In the next area you will see a bunch of Zombines rise and they will start
fighting some Antlions. Shoot a gas tanks to take out one Zombine, then run
down the path to get into the open. Kill the Zombines and let Alyx take out
the bugs, you need to find the car in the center of the room and knock it over
one of the three Antlion holes on the ground. When the middle one is locked
up, go up a beam to reach the second level. You will see another car in a hole
in the wall. Blast open the crate in the doorway nearby and get in so you can
get the car out. Knock it out of the hole and down to the ground, then hop
down and push it onto the nearby bug hole.
*NOTE: You can use the GG to knock over Antlions for Alyx to blast, but at no
time during this fight should you actually stop to fight bugs, unless you
really have to.*
That leaves just one more. Go up to the second level and around the sides to
find your third car behind a downed gate. Find a beam over the middle of the
room that leads to the third level. When you get up here, go around and find
another beam that will lead you to the right side. Go through the opening on
the wall and drop down to the area with the car below. Wait for the Zombine
to wake up and kill him, then go turn the wheel on the wall. When the gate is
open, quickly blast the car through and over the side where you can knock it
over the last bug hole to make this area safe.
Now you can explore the room to find more items. In the room on the second
level there are some grenades, and near the gate for the car there are some
items too. Not much on the third level, so just get up there and turn the wheel
on another gate to open up the path. Go through and take the stairs down. You
can get off on the door, or you can do down a bit more to find a torso zombie
and a crate.
Head through the door to enter a watery room. Move into the middle area and
about four Zombines will rush from the front. When you get to the other side,
more zombies from the front and back; be sure to use the barrels on your terms
so that you don't get fried.
Proceed and you will hit a big room. This is called the Nightmare Room because
it will haunt you long after you get through it, if you get through it. Start
by turning around to find some items in the corner. Then go toward the light
where you should charge up your flashlight, you'll need all the juice you can
get. After the lights go out, save the flares for later, just know they are
there. Go around the elevator to the right side to find some items in a
corner. Grab what you can and send the rest toward the elevator with the GG,
all for later.
Now make your way back to the elevator and this time go down the side of the
room you didn't come from (it's the side across the fence, just go straight).
You will run into a lot of items and flares and exploding stuff. Don't spend
too long exploring because there are enemies in the area. I suggest using the
exploding stuff now so that it doesn't hurt you later. There is a cache of
items behind a fence on the wall, and more stuff in a room at the back with a
Zombine (send a barrel at him before he gets up).
*NOTE: You want to throw items toward the elevator for easy grabbing later.*
When ready, find a door between both items stashes and removing a wooden
board holding the doors in place. When you open this door a Zombine will go
suicide-bomber on you and pull out a grenade, so back away. Go inside and use
the power box on the wall to call for the elevator. Grab the items and quickly
get back to the elevator doors.
There is no set plan to get you through this without taking damage, so long as
you survive, you win. Turn around on the steps and look for the zombies. Blow
up the exploding stuff nearby to take them out, but I highly urge against you
using the GG as a weapon here, or you'll end up with a lot of barrels blowing
up in your face. Always look in every direction and use your hearing to know
if something is nearby. When a Zombine gets close and you hear that ticking
sound, bail out and run in any direction, but be sure to come right back to
the steps. When you hear a shierking sound, that be the fast zombies, so take
them out quickly.
*NOTE: The only time to use the GG as a weapon will be early on, but after you
flinge a couple of gas tanks, you should probably stop.*
A novel plan is to bail out to the area on the right side of the elevator,
since the undead won't come from the side you are on. Everything goes smooth
enough until your light goes dead. When this happens, just run to the middle
area and pick up some health items, but don't wait for it to recharge all the
way, just enough to get you by. You cannot just leave Alyx alone or you will
lose her and you will fail. If you feel lucky, toss a grenade to a side of
the doors to hopefully hit something. All you can do is keep your light on,
keep shooting, and keep moving. When the elevator arrives, just run inside and
this fight will be over.
=======================
Chapter 4: Urban Flight
=======================
After the entertaining ride up, run with Alyx. The gate is locked, but no
worries. Turn around to find a wheel on the wall by another gate. Turn it and
collect the items in here. Blast away the boxes to find another wheel on the
ground in the corner. Pick it up and bring it back to the locked gate. Set it
into the red box on the wall and turn that sucka.
Go up to witness the state of the city - nothing a little duct tape won't fix.
Listen to the doc for a while if you like and then head toward some metal
sheets blocking the path. Pull them down and go through to run into some
security bots, just pull them in and shoot them into the wall. Free up the path
and keep moving to see some Combine drop into the alley. Let them run into the
raised area in the middle where you can use the gas tank to kill a few. Proceed
to a moving wall of the citadel and run through when it moves.
*NOTE: Killing the previous soldiers is when you gained the SMG, so don't
forget that you have it.*
More bugs in the next area, so you know the drill. Three bug holes and you get
one medic to help. Just get to the cars and move them into place. When you
head down the road you will see two zip lines where soldiers will rappel from,
so be ready.
After all is calm, go toward the door at the end and move the boards in the
way. If you can, peek through and toss a grenade inside, or grab something and
throw it into the red lasers to set the place on fire and eliminate the bad
guys.
With the flames going, you are in for one clever little puzzle. If you were not
reading this, you might spend the half hour I first did figuring this one
out. Grab the items in here and then go around the corner to find a see-saw.
Now, the trick is to disregard the similar puzzles in the first game. Instead
of adding weight to the saw, just pick up the plastic box and set it under the
right side of the rock so that the right end won't move when you step on it.
If you understand that the object is to prevent the saw from moving by jamming
something under it, you will quickly see what I mean. With the box in place,
jump on, run to the end and jump to the ledge on the wall, and then turn off
the gas. Now come back to the front, pick up Alyx, and go up the stairs for
a loading.
At the top you will see the full extent of zombie brainpower as one will walk
directly into a trap. Then more will get up, but just avoid their projectiles
until a Roller Mine drops in. Grab it and let Alyx convert it to the light
side. It will take care of the rest, so just collect the items. Don't run in
front of the window because it's covered by a sniper. Sprint down to the stairs
and go down a bit to see another roller for you to convert. Shoot it and the
other one into the open where they will distract the sniper. Grab the items and
quickly run to the side of the doorway.
When ready, sprint over to the cover a building to the right. You should toss
a mine toward the side of the sniper so it can be a distraction, then you need
to use the cover of the cars in the road (crouch), and then run to a doorway
on the left. From here you can run to the area with the turret and find some
boxes of grenades in the back. Use the GG to get the grenades and send one up
to the sniper. When he's gone, Alyx will join you.
*NOTE: A Dropship may drop more mines, so be ready. Also, one time an Antlion
appeared from nowhere and attacked me - odd.*
She will take up point as you play decoy. Take the ladder when it's there and
go over. Go to the right just a bit to wake the sleeping zombies, then make a
dash for the pit area in the road. Kill whatever gets close to you, but Alyx
will handle most of the threats. Items in the room by the first barricade.
Then go into the room near the second barricade to get on path. There is a
headcrab by a box soon after you enter. Keep moving and go up some stairs. In
the walkway over the street, toss a grenade to the other side to take out the
sleepers. Then use the GG to knock down all the planks on the left side so
Alyx can have a clean shot. Go to the other side and bait the zombies around
the corner, or drop a grenade. Either way, run back to the walkway and let
Alyx do some sniping, but watch out for the Zombines, you may have to run
from side to side if you want Alyx to get them.
Proceed after a calm and drop down to the ground level, and don't miss all the
crates in this area of the building. When you go out into the streets, there
is a bug hole, a Combine barricade at the end, and a turret gunner in a post.
