Concealed Weapons (Cluckin' Bell)

Navigate the challenging laser puzzles in Portal Reloaded. This guide provides step-by-step walkthroughs for Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15, detailing portal placement and time manipulation for laser redirection.

This section of the Portal Reloaded walkthrough focuses on Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15, which heavily feature the use of lasers and time portals. Follow these steps to successfully redirect lasers and solve the puzzles.

Test Chamber 13: Begin by placing portals as shown in the image. Use a portal to redirect the laser sideways and a time portal to send it into the future. You may need to take some damage from the laser to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange the portals without affecting the present. Position them so the laser hits the target, allowing you to proceed through the door.

Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present using a time portal. Summon a reflector cube from the central switch and position it in the designated area. Use a portal to guide 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. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again. Finally, position the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.

Test Chamber 15: Start by passing 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. Move to the other side of the room and use another time portal to return to the present, now on the other side of the 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 place 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 and retrieve the future reflector cube. Bring it back to the present by placing a time portal in the laser room. Position the future reflector 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 a portal 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 test chamber.
