Complete 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
  1. 1
    Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown in the image to use a portal to move the laser sideways and a time portal to move the laser into the future. Travel through the time portal (taking some damage is acceptable). In the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target. Head through the door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube 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. Position the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If needed, travel back to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it to the present again. Finally, place 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. Head 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 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 shoot at the receiver. Return to the present. An elevating platform near the switch will power up. Stand on it and place a time portal behind the node to raise the platform further, 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 return to the laser room in the present via a time portal. Position 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 a portal or 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, you can take some damage from the laser to travel into the future.
  • In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present is adjusted to hit all three nodes. You may need to retrieve the future reflector cube multiple times.
  • In Test Chamber 15, be careful not to cancel your portals when moving through time portals. You need to be on the correct side of the particle field in the present to progress.
