She awakens after the crash and climbs down into the wreckage, trying to find a way in. She finds some Combine soldiers near an apparently-dead strider and an elevator back up. Russell says the strider is clearly dead, causing Alyx to complain that he's jinxed her. After Alyx reactivates the elevator, the strider awakens, shooting at her as she again chides Russel for jinxing her. She rides the elevator up and flees through the shattered wreckage of buildings, intermittently fighting off Combine soldiers and running from the Strider. She finds a stationary, shielded grenade launcher and uses it to destroy the Strider.

An opening appears in the vault, above her, and a green beam from it floats debris upward. Alyx steps into the beam; all her weapons and equipment are taken away from her as she enters the vault. Just before she enters, her father apparently discovers what is in the vault, and tries to warn her off, but it's too late to turn back.

Alyx hears a fight between antlions and Combine soldiers above her as she proceeds up through a large ventilation shaft. She finds a crane that manages wooden barriers and a large metal pipe, maneuvering them to clear her way, and climbs up to the surface. The antlions are gone, so she must fight through the Combine soldiers to enter the tower that is projecting the force field. She fights her way up the tower, eventually reaching the controls. She attempts to extend the bridge to the vault, but instead deactivates the beam holding it up, causing it to crash into the city.
