Navigate Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 in Portal Reloaded. Learn to manipulate lasers with portals and time portals to solve complex puzzles and advance.
Walkthrough
- 1Test Chamber 13: Place portals to redirect the laser sideways and use a time portal to move it 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 exit door.
- 2Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the designated area. 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 necessary, return to the future to retrieve and reposition the future reflector cube. 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: 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 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 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 reflector cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Pick up the future reflector cube and bring it to the present via a time portal in the laser room. 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 existing portals or a time portal). Climb the stairs and place 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 travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of how moving cubes can affect future states and laser paths.
- Pay close attention to the placement of portals and reflector cubes, especially when dealing with time portals and particle fields.
