Navigate the intricate laser puzzles of Portal Reloaded. This guide provides step-by-step walkthroughs for Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15, detailing the use of time portals and reflector cubes to solve complex laser challenges.
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 damage from the laser to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target. Head through the exit door.
- 2Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present using a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the area shown. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to guide 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 via a time portal. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, travel back to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it to the present again. Finally, position the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test Chamber 15: Start by going 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 to the future and place a portal on the small wall in the laser room to shoot at the receiver. Return to the present. The laser should 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 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 by placing a time portal in the laser room. Position the cube to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. Now, you need to reach the other side of the particle field in the present. Use an existing portal or a time portal to bypass it. Climb the stairs and place a portal on the upper wall to hit the third receiver. Finally, move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the test chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of how moving past cubes can disrupt future cubes and laser paths.
- Pay close attention to the placement of both regular and time portals to manipulate laser trajectories effectively across different time periods.
