Master Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 in Portal Reloaded by learning how to effectively use lasers, time portals, and reflector cubes to solve complex puzzles and advance.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown in the image. Use a portal to move the laser sideways and a time portal to send it into the future. Travel through the time portal (taking damage is acceptable) to reach the future. Rearrange portals in the future so the laser hits the target. Proceed through the door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the present as shown. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node, then reflect it into the next two nodes. Travel to the future. Use portals to bring a laser into the present through the time portal, ensuring it passes through the node. Retrieve the reflector cube from the future and bring it to the present via a time portal. Ensure the present reflector cube hits all three nodes, adjusting its position as needed. If the future cube was moved, return to the future to retrieve it. Position the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
  3. 3
    Test Chamber 15: Go through the particle field to the left. Place a portal where the laser hits the wall and a time portal on the opposite wall. Travel through the time portal to reach the future, bypassing the particle field. Proceed to the other side of the room and use another time portal to return to the present, now on the other side of the particle field. Place a new portal on the upper wall above the laser room so the laser hits the first receiver. Travel back to the future and place a portal on the small wall in the laser room to aim at the receiver. Return to the present. The laser should still be hitting the upper receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the platform and place a time portal behind the node. This will raise the platform, allowing you to summon a reflector cube. Place this cube on the small lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Retrieve the future reflector cube and return to the laser room in the present using a time portal. Position the cube to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To reach the other side of the particle field without going through it, use an existing portal or a time portal. Once in the present on the other side, climb the stairs and place a portal on the upper wall to hit the third receiver. Finally, move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the test chamber.
