It's time to get back to business. To escape, you must destroy a sentry gun. So follow the rebel to the hole in the floor, and drop into a bordered up room with Headcrab Zombies outside the walls. Remove the wooden planks from the window with your gravity gun, break the window, and jump outside into the fight. You can pick up the saw blades inside the room with your gravity gun to cut the Zombies in half, if you wish.

Once again, pick up the saw blade for some exciting Headcrab Zombie fighting action.

Jump on the back of the pickup truck nearby, and onto the rooftop to remove the wooden planks on the windows. Drop through the windows, open the door, and go down the staircase. Stay crouched so you're not shot by the sentry gun, ready your shotgun, and slowly make your way into the concrete tube nearby. You'll be attacked by a Headcrab in this tube, so kill it. Stay crouched and move between the abandoned cars.

Toss the grenade at the turret to knock it out.

In front of the shack is a turret. Toss a grenade to take it out. In case you run out of grenades, there are ammo crates nearby full of them. Now, make your way to the shack. Break the windows, jump inside, and kill the Combine forces. Break the other window and jump through them. Stay crouched, fight off the Zombies and Headcrabs, and make your way to the white van. Crouch into the back of the van, collect the health vials, and exit through the exposed passenger door. Remain crouched and make your way through the last pathway of abandoned cars.

Make your way through the van, and stay crouched to avoid fire.

Hop into the back of the pickup truck and get on top of the roof. Break the windows and fight the Combine troops inside (déjà vu!). Once you've taken them out, drop down inside the building. Go over to the control panel controlling the sentry turret and open it up.

Drop a grenade inside the open control panel to put the sentry turret up in flames.

Drop a grenade inside the control panel (Alt. Fire) and back up to avoid the explosion. Now with the gun destroyed, you can get out of there, so get back to your car and hit the road. On your way to White Forest, your car will be equipped with radar that identifies supply caches. If you want to pick up the supplies, and the rocket launcher, look at our information below for each of their locations. If you'd rather not, just continue towards the town, where the Combine will ambush you.

Supply Heaven

The first supply cache is in a white van, accessible only by shooting the fuel tank next to the van. (The explosion removes the automobile blocking the entrances to the supplies.)

The second supply cache is in a large building down the road. The only way to gain access is to crawl through the open doorway of a white van (déjà vu...again). Inside, there is a little puzzle to solve in order to pick up the rocket launcher. See that large metal plate? Take out your gravity gun and pull it down to the ground. Now, quickly toss a grenade through the dented area on the floor under the metal plate, and stand on the plate. Thanks to the metal plate, the explosion propels you safely up to the control panel, allowing you to deactivate the security barrier to the weapon cache and pick up the rocket launcher and various supplies.

The third supply cache is inside a shack in the junkyard near the previous cache. Break apart the shack's floorboards with your crowbar to find the supplies.

The fourth supply cache is later down the road (keep an eye on your radar) inside a little cave. Using your gravity gun, remove the rocks from the entrance to the cave, and crouch-walk inside to pick up the supplies.

The fifth supply cache is hanging from a grate on the side of the cliff. How do you get the supplies off of it, you ask? Shoot debris at it, knocking the supplies down to you. Lucky for you, there are plenty of rocks and logs nearby.

Once the trap is sprung -- when your car gets trapped between the shield walls -- retreat inside the mansion. While in the house, stay on the move and do not remain in one section for too long, otherwise the troops will overrun you. There are tons of supplies scattered throughout the house, including health and shield vials. And since you've been collecting those supply caches on the way here, you should have enough ammo at this point to fight off the forces, including a couple of hunters.

Use the cover from the walls in the house to fend off the Combine troops.

Once you have fought off the initial wave of troops, make your way outside and follow the road to the upper area of the town, using the large black cable powering the shield barricade as your point of direction. You'll encounter another hunter and more Combine troops. Once you've killed them off, follow the cable into the house. Alyx will deactivate the barrier for a short time, allowing you inside the area with the main generator. But the shields will go back up. Time to work on another puzzle.

Power Ball Puzzle

First, pull out the steel barrels behind the blue shield with your gravity gun, and place one of them upright in front of the sliding door to the power ball room. Now, shoot out the lock holding up the ladder, climb it, and navigate the support beams and pipes to drop down behind the blue shield. Remove the grate on the floor and crouch into the small room with the power ball.

Do not shoot the power ball from the area just yet. If you do, you'll only hurt yourself until the ball is trapped into its power beam. Instead, open the sliding door, but do not walk through it. Use your gravity gun to pull the steel barrel that you placed outside to jam the sliding door, so it remains open. Line up with the power ball and the gap in the sliding door, and shoot the power ball with your gravity gun, allowing it to travel out of the small room, and wait for it to explode. Good job, the shields are down. Hop back into your car.

Travel down the side of the mountain and follow the road until you get to the closed gate. Get out of the car and walk around the opposite side of the gate to look for a switch. We'll avoid spoilers here, but it's safe to say you'll encounter an old friend who will save your butt. The chapter ends when you open the gate to White Forest.
