Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's 'Lasers' guide, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn 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 from the laser to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals without affecting the present. Position portals so the laser hits the target directly, then proceed through the exit door.
- 2Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube from the central switch and position it in the present as indicated. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node, then use this to reflect the laser 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 designated node. Retrieve the reflector cube from the future and bring it to the present via a time portal. Ensure the present reflector cube hits all three nodes; adjust its position if necessary. If you moved the future reflector cube, return to the future to retrieve it again and bring it back to the present. Finally, position the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes 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 the future to bypass the particle field without losing your portals. Proceed to the other side of the room and use another time portal to return to the present, positioning yourself beyond 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 aim at the receiver. Return to the present; the laser should still be hitting the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the platform and shoot a time portal behind the node. This will raise the platform, allowing you to summon a reflector cube. Place this cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future by placing a time portal conveniently. Retrieve the future reflector cube and return to the present by placing a time portal in the laser room. Position this cube to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To reach the other side of the particle field without passing through it, use a portal on the other side or a time portal. You need to be in 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. Move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 13, you can take some damage from the laser to facilitate travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present hits all three nodes. You may need to retrieve and reposition the future reflector cube multiple times.
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of the particle field; use time portals strategically to bypass it without losing your active portals.
- Correctly positioning reflector cubes is crucial for directing lasers to receivers in all chambers.
- Pay close attention to the images provided for precise portal and cube placements.
