Navigate Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 of Portal Reloaded using lasers, time portals, and reflector cubes. Complete challenging puzzles with this detailed walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Test 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 them so the laser goes directly into the target to open the exit door.
  2. 2
    Test 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 shown. 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 node. Retrieve the reflector cube from the future and bring it to the present via a time portal. Ensure the reflector cube in the present hits all three nodes; adjust as necessary. If you moved the future reflector cube, return to the future to retrieve it again. Finally, place the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes in the present to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
  3. 3
    Test 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 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 aim at the receiver. Return to the present; the laser should still be hitting the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on this platform and place a time portal behind the node to raise the platform further. This allows 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 enter the laser room. Place another 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 passing through it, use an existing portal or a time portal. You need to be in the present on the other side. 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 speed up your travel into the future.
  • In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present is correctly positioned to hit 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 and use time portals strategically to bypass it. Pay close attention to the placement of reflector cubes to hit the correct receivers.
