Navigate Portal Reloaded's challenging 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 to redirect the laser. Use a time portal to move the laser into the future. Travel through the time portal (taking damage is acceptable). Rearrange portals in the future to direct the laser into the target, then exit through the door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it as shown. 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. 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.
  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 far side of the particle field. Place a new portal on the upper wall to direct the laser to the first receiver. Travel 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 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 above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it back to the present using a time portal in the laser room. Position this cube to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To bypass the particle field, use a portal on the other side or a time portal. Reach the present on the other side of the particle field. 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 13, you can afford to take some damage from the laser to travel into the future.
  • In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of how moving reflector cubes can affect laser paths and activate platforms.
  • Pay close attention to the placement of both regular and time portals, as well as reflector cubes, to solve the laser redirection puzzles.
