Nova Prospekt
Gordon Freeman infiltrates the high-security Combine prison facility Nova Prospekt using the coastline cliffs and an underground service entrance. Accompanied by tamed Antlions, you fight through prison blocks filled with Combine soldiers, automatic turrets, and traps to locate the captured Eli Vance. The chapter ends as Gordon enters the deep interior section of the facility, transitioning to the "Entanglement" chapter.

Tips
- Squeeze the Bugbait to summon Antlions to your position or throw it to direct them to attack specific enemies or clear forward rooms.
- Reposition knocked-over friendly turrets to face defensive choke points whenever holding out against incoming Combine soldier waves.
- Look for sand piles in broken basement areas; Antlions can endlessly respawn from them to replace fallen ones as long as you stay nearby.
