Head straight to the end of the walkway. Alyx will talk, then a bridge of in the distance will fall. Now look to you left and you'll see a hallway on the lower level. Jump down and go through it.
Now you're in a room blocked off by a combine shield, which Stalkers are holding from the other room. Alyx will suggest using rollermines to help us get through. She'll lower the shield and you have to go get one.
You'll notice that there is an elevator just on the other side of the shield, but it's currently not working. You want to crawl through the hole in the wall just pass the elevator. Once you reach the lower platform you'll notice a small balcony. Jump onto it. It'll fall as soon as you land on it causing a small explosion which gets the elevator going up and down on its own. Follow the path around to the suit charger, which also gives health, making sure you jump over the hole where the elevator should be. Once you have full health head over to the button, which releases the rollermines. You want to time this with the elevator. Try to press it when the elevator is half way down. This will give you time to grab a rollermine and make to the elevator before it goes back up.
Once you get back to Alyx just hold the rollermine in front of her and she'll do something to make it on our side. Once she does this, throw it into the room with the stalkers. It'll take them out and Alyx will now be able to disable the shield.
In the next room, head down the path on the right. You'll run into some debris blocking the path, but there's a hole you can crawl through. After that just head up the stairs and continue down the path until you reach another pile of debris. You can just climb over this pile. Right after you climb over it, something random happens causing everything to disintegrate.
Continue along the path until you reach some railing. There is a ledge on the other side. Jump down onto it and walk towards your right. You should see a bridge with some combine trying to cross, but they get sucked in by some kind of vortex. Immediately after the vortex stops, you need to sprint across the bridge by holding down the shift key. This will allow you to get to the other side before it starts up again.
Keep following the path until you reach some more railing. Once you get there jump the railing and Alyx will check the console. She'll find a recording of Breen. A Combine Advisor will appear on the screen, then a Combine Advisor inside a escape pod will be transported out of the citadel, causing you and Alyx some kind of pain(doesn't really hurt you though). Once it leaves Alyx will lower a combine shield and open a new path for you to take.
Follow this new path until you come to a Confiscation Field. This will turn your gravity gun into the "super" gravity gun like it was at the end of Half-Life 2. Once this is done, head down the hall for another loading screen and the start of a new map.

You'll start out near a broken bridge. To fix it grab an energy orb from the energy beam and throw it into the socket on the wall. About half way across the bridge an explosion will happen, sending debris flying towards you.
At the other side of the bridge, Combine will attack you. Grab them with your super gravity gun and throw their dead bodies at other combine for massive damage.
Once the combine stop attacking, you can fix the next bridge. This time both sides are down, so you'll have to put an energy orb in both sockets. Again just grab an orb from the energy beam with the gravity gun and throw it into one of the sockets.
At the other side of this bridge, the combine will attack again. Once again, use your gravity gun to get rid of them and then fix the next bridge.
This bridge is just like the last, the only difference is the glass wall in front of the socket on the left side. All you have to do is grab an energy orb from the beam, then throw the orb just above the glass wall. This should make the orb bounce off the back wall and the glass wall sending the orb into the socket.
Cross this last bridge and make your way through the debris on the other side. Follow the path, killing the combine that attack you, until you reach the outside area. Head toward your left until you reach another left turn. Here you'll see a Dropship holding a Strider fly off and end up crashing, taking out another strider on the ground.
Continue following the path until you see a small room with a door in it on the right. Alyx will come in and open the door for you. Follow the hallway until you hit a loading screen.

Continue going down the hallway until you reach a room with a lone energy beam in it. Before grabbing the orb, refill your health and suit at the suit charger next to the bridge. Once your health is full, grab the energy orb, and head out to the elevator.
Throw the orb into the socket on the wall, this will start the elevator. Now look up. Debris is going to falling from the sky and it's you job to keep the big pieces away from the elevator.
You'll need to first grab a hold of these big objects by holding mouse2, then fire them away from the elevator. After the third object falls, the elevator will come to a stop.
Again, you need to throw an energy orb into the socket on the wall, but this time it's inside a room. You'll see a doorway with a console right behind it. You want to use the super gravity gun to rip the console out, so it doesn't block the energy orb, and the throw an orb into the room. Hopefully it'll go into the socket on your first try.
The elevator will start moving again, and more debris will fall from the sky. After you block the next object, the elevator will stop again.
This time there will be a wall with consoles on both sides blocking the socket. To get pass this, just move to the right edge of the platform and you should have a clear shot. Just after the orb enters the socket, a stalker will destroy the orb in the socket, causing the elevator to stop again.
To kill the stalker, just throw orbs into the room with the stalker, until you kill it. When it's dead just throw another orb into the socket.
Now the elevator starts moving fast. You don't need to worry about debris until you reach the bottom. Once the elevator slows to a stop, you need to get off immediately. Some debris too big to grab with the gravity gun will destroy the elevator.
Now just follow the path until you hit a loading screen.

In the next room you'll have to fight about 5 combine soldiers. After you kill them, Alyx will check the consoles and find out that the combine were trying to deliberately blow the reactor. After talking for a minute, Alyx will open a door to a new room.
There's a suit charger in this room, if you need it. After talking some more, Alyx will send up an elevator for you. Go down the elevator and enter the reactor room.
The first thing you want to do is, kill all the stalkers around the room, using the gravity gun and some energy orbs. After you kill all the stalkers you want to put energy orbs in all the sockets.
The first socket is on the wall just left of the elevators exit. The second is on the wall across the room, near where one of the stalkers was. After putting orbs in the first and second socket, the first bridge will work. Cross this bridge and grab another orb. The third and last socket(for now anyways) is on the other side of the room, just past the second bridge. This will make the second bridge work. Cross this bridge and press the button on the other side. This will move all the bridges, making it possible for you to reach the center of the room.
Now you need to cross the bridge and go up the ladder on the left side of the center platform. Once you get to the top turn around and follow the path around until you reach a room filled with combine. Once you kill all the combine, refill your health and suit at the HEV charger, then go back outside and grab an energy orb. Throw this orb into the socket on the right side of the room shooting some kind of big laser thing(email me if you know what this is really called) into the core. After this is done a new door will open on the other side of the room.
On the other side of the door, more combine will be waiting for you. After you kill them and the few manhacks that come in, go to the end of the hall. You should notice that there's a small hatch on the right wall. Use your gravity gun to rip it off and go through the hole. This next room is a hallway with energy orbs flying through it. It would be a good idea to take that hatch you just ripped off through this hall with you. Use it to block the orbs.
Once you get past the orbs, toss aside the hatch, then follow the path around until you reach a room with a few combine in it. Kill the combine and grab the energy orb, which will open the door, and you'll be back in the core room again.
Now you need to get past the core. It's pulsating so you need to time this right to avoid getting sucked in. Once you cross the bridge head down the path on the left, killing all the combine that attack.
Now you should be in another room with a laser cannon in it. Grab the energy orb next to the entrance and throw it into the socket on the left wall. Again the cannon will shoot a laser into the core. Once it does a new door will open. Go through this door and ride the elevator to the top.
Head down the hall, killing all the combine attacking, and heal yourself at the HEV charger on the left. Continue down the hall until you reach the core
