Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's Laser sections (Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15). Learn how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles and progress through the game.

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. You can take some damage from the laser to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser goes directly into the target, then head 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 bring a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to direct 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. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. Travel back to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again if needed. Place 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. Shoot a portal where the laser hits the wall and place a time portal on the opposite wall. Travel through the time portal to the future to bypass the particle field. Head to the other side 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 so the laser hits the first receiver. Travel back to the future and place a portal in the laser room to shoot the receiver. Return to the present; the laser should power up an elevating platform. Stand on it and shoot a time portal behind the node to raise the platform further, allowing you to summon a reflector cube. Place this cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Pick up the future reflector cube and bring it back to the present via a time portal in the laser room, positioning it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To proceed, get to the other side of the particle field in the present. Climb the stairs and use a portal on the upper wall to hit the third receiver. Finally, move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the test chamber.
Tips
  • In Test Chamber 13, taking damage from the laser can be a strategy to reach the future faster.
  • In Test Chamber 14, careful positioning of the reflector cube is crucial for hitting all three nodes.
  • In Test Chamber 15, understanding how moving cubes affects future states is key. Moving a cube in the present can disrupt or enable laser paths in the future.
