Detailed walkthrough for the LASERS section of Portal Reloaded, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve 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 can take some damage from the laser to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser goes directly into the target to exit the chamber.
- 2Test Chamber 14: First, take a time portal to the present. Summon a reflector cube from the switch and position it in the present as shown. Use a portal to bring a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to direct 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 again. Finally, position the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver to complete the chamber.
- 3Test 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 the future to bypass the particle field. Then, use another time portal to return to the present on the other 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 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 cube on the lip 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, positioning it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. Now, get to the other side of the particle field without going through it (use existing portals or a time portal). 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 test chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 13, taking some damage from the laser can help you travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube is positioned correctly to hit all three nodes.
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of how moving cubes can affect future states and laser paths.
