This walkthrough will take you through all 11 chapters of the game's main campaign, including finding all items, resins, and ammo.

Chapter 1: Confusion

Look out over the Citadel, breathe in the fresh air, and prepare for a grand adventure. The first things you'll notice around you are loose objects, a radio, and the activity of Combine soldiers in the distance. Take as much time as you need to get used to the controls, play with the physics, and get used to controlling Alyx Vance.

You can crush the cans on the shelf or throw them over the ledge, or tune the radio to check what stations are playing in City 17. Once you're ready to move on, head up the stairs. Press the yellow button on the microphone console and watch as Eli and Russell brief you on the daily goings-on.

The yellow door at the back of the room will open. Activate the red levers and pull them toward you, opening the door. Proceed into the dimly lit hallway. Descend the stairs, open the door (using the handle), and step out onto a terrace overlooking another part of the city. Watch as Strider climbs over the nearby roof and connect to the electrical substation leading to the Citadel, the massive Combine structure you might remember from Half-Life 2.

Go left up the next staircase and into a tightly packed studio. There are several interactive objects here. You can move the video camera to the far window by grabbing and pulling it, and you can look through its viewfinder. You can also feed the snake in the glass jar by grabbing the nearby food container and pouring food into the jar, earning you an achievement.

When you're ready to leave, simply enter the next door, which will be directly to the left of the door you entered the room through (or to the left of the desk, opposite the window on the far side of the room), and continue forward. Press the red button next to the elevator door, then enter once the door opens. Once inside the elevator, press the green button at the bottom of the panel. You'll enter the laundry room. Step forward and watch as Combine soldiers disperse the civilians.

Go through the door on the opposite side of the room and continue forward. Continue down the hallway and open the next door. Climb the stairs and let the civilian talk to you through the bars until the Combine puts up a blue shield across the street. Turn and walk down the street, past the square, and turn right when you reach the parked car. Continue up the stairs and go through the door. Watch the man cross the hallway and close the door, then go up the stairs and turn right at the top.

You'll emerge onto a balcony with a ladder. Climb the ladder to the roof and follow the wooden planks to a window with blinds and a red handle. Grab the handle, lift it, and proceed forward.

Jump into the elevator car and press the green button. A pair of Combine soldiers will be waiting for you when the doors open, and you'll see your father, Eli Vance, captured. When the two Combine soldiers tell you to stay put and raise your hands, there's no point in disobeying them, so sit quietly and wait for the scene to end.

After a short loading screen, you'll find yourself in the back of the vehicle. Sit back in and wait for the cutscene to activate. After the vehicle "stops," Russell's drone will arrive and deliver the headset to you. Take it and place it on your head, then teleport to the other side of the transport door. Continue along the street and turn left through the tunnel passage onto the next street. Continue until you reach an exit, then go up and teleport through the ledge opposite the ramp.

Jump off the ledge and continue down the alley through the nearest open door. You'll find yourself in a fenced-in garage with a parked car, its driver's side door wide open. Go around the car and continue through the hole in the fence opposite where you entered. Go right and you'll find another open door. This time, you'll be greeted by Russell's drone! Pass the playground and climb the nearby stairs to another balcony. Walk along the balcony and teleport through the fence onto a makeshift alley made of metal bars.

On the opposite side of the passage is another closed window with a red handle. Grab it and pull it up to enter the next room. In the next room, you'll find a set of lockers on the right side of the wall. Open the farthest locker on the right and press the red button. The lockers will disappear, revealing a passage to Russell's headquarters. Pick up any nearby item and place it on the glowing holographic circle on the desk in Russell's studio. This will trigger a short scene where Russell explains his plan to free Eli from captivity.

Once Russell finishes speaking, turn around and insert your hands into the two opening casings. When you pull them out, you'll officially have the very first prototype of Russell's "gravity gloves," which will allow you to grab objects from long distances. Simply point to what you'd like to grab, and it will highlight on your screen.

To pull an object toward you, grab it when it's highlighted, then twist your wrist toward you. There will be a slight delay, as the flicking motion only moves the object toward you, so you must reach out and physically grab it as soon as it gets close. Go through the door on the left, jump down onto the boxes below, and continue forward. You'll go through another door (on the left) and emerge into a small parking lot with a car. Russell will yell at you through the window, then drop you a pistol. He'll also give you one bullet.

Remove the lock, then head straight for the train car. The only clip will be in a box just in front of the car. Throw it onto your back to pick it up, and continue forward. The quarantine zone is ahead.
