Detailed walkthrough for the Lasers chapter of Portal Reloaded, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles.
Walkthrough
- 1Test 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 may take some damage to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser goes directly into the target, then exit through the door.
- 2Test 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 and 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. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again. Position the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test 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 the future to bypass 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 shoot the receiver. Return to the present. An elevating platform near the switch will power up. 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 small lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Retrieve the future reflector cube and run into the laser room. Use a time portal in the laser room to bring the future reflector cube to the present. Position it 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 a portal on the other side or a time portal. Once in the present on the other side, 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 chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube is positioned correctly to hit all three nodes.
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of the particle field and use time portals strategically to bypass it.
- Pay close attention to the placement of portals and reflector cubes, especially when dealing with multiple time periods.
