Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's Laser Test Chambers (13, 14, and 15). Learn to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles and advance.
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 laser damage to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals without affecting the present. Position portals so the laser goes directly into the target to exit the chamber.
- 2Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present using a time portal. Summon a reflector cube from the central switch and position it in the present as shown. Use a portal to bring a laser through the first node, then use it 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. In the present, the reflector cube should hit all three nodes; adjust as needed. If the future reflector cube was moved, travel back to the future to retrieve it. Finally, place the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test Chamber 15: Start 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. 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 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 shoot 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 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 run into the laser room. Place a time portal in the laser room to bring the future reflector cube into the present. Position it to reflect the laser through the node into the second receiver. To proceed, get to the other side of the particle field without going through it (use an existing portal 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 chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 13, taking some damage from the laser can be necessary to travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube is positioned correctly to hit all three nodes before proceeding.
- In Test Chamber 15, careful use of time portals is crucial to bypass the particle field and manipulate laser redirection. Pay attention to the interaction between cubes, lasers, and receivers across different time periods.
