Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's 'Lasers' section, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve puzzles.
Walkthrough
- 1Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown to redirect the laser. Use a time portal to move the laser into the future. Travel through the time portal (taking damage is acceptable) to reach the future. Rearrange portals in the future to direct the laser into the target, opening the exit.
- 2Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the present as indicated. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to guide it through 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. Position the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it back to the present. Finally, position the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test Chamber 15: Begin 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 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 far side of the particle field. Place a portal on the upper wall to direct the laser to the first receiver. Return to the future and place a portal on the small wall in the laser room to aim at the receiver. Go back to the present. The laser should now be hitting the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the platform and place a time portal behind the node to raise the platform further, allowing you to summon a reflector cube. Place this reflector cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it back to the present via a time portal within the laser room. Position it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. Now, get to the other side of the particle field without passing through it (use existing portals or a time portal). Climb the stairs and place a portal on the upper wall to hit the third receiver. Move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 13, don't be afraid to take some damage from the laser to travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present is correctly positioned to hit all three nodes before proceeding.
- In Test Chamber 15, carefully manage your portals and time portals to navigate the particle field and manipulate the lasers and cubes. Pay attention to the interaction between moving cubes and laser paths.
