Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's 'Lasers' section, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn how to use portals and time portals to solve laser 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.
- 2Test Chamber 14: Travel to the future. Summon a reflector cube from the center 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 future reflector cube and bring it to the present. Position the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. Adjust as needed. Travel back to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube if necessary. Place the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver.
- 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 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 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, allowing you to summon a reflector cube. Place this cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Pick up the future reflector cube and bring it to the present by placing a time portal in the laser room. Position the present reflector cube to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To reach the other side of the particle field without going through it, use an existing portal or a time portal. Once in the present on the other side, 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, you can take damage from the laser to travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present hits all three nodes. You may need to travel back and forth to adjust.
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of the particle field; use time portals to bypass it.
- The explanation for Test Chamber 15 has been clarified based on user feedback: after placing the future reflector cube to hit the second receiver, you need to get to the other side of the particle field in the present. Then, use a portal on the upper wall to hit the third receiver. Finally, move the reflector cube onto the switch.
