Goal: 215 Steps

Gold: 150 Steps

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump down the hallway and stand near the doorway. Wait for the cube to drop and grab it.
  2. 2
    Jump with the box into the next room and place it in the corner of the first ledge. Turn around and grab it.
  3. 3
    Place it in the corner of this ledge to hop up to the next level. Shoot a portal at the white wall after the energy ball bounces.
  4. 4
    Once it bounces, grab the box and begin jumping down the hallway. On the other end, turn and wait for the energy ball to pass overhead, then take the box and jump down the hall.
  5. 5
    At the end, crouch down where the stairs turn. Put the box down and shoot a portal through the doorway at the slanted piece of wall.
  6. 6
    Jump from your current location to the doorway, hopefully landing near the middle. Take one jump over to the corner of the ledge.
  7. 7
    Put the box down and place the portal that was on the slanted piece next to the pushed-out piece of wall, perpendicular to it so that an energy ball shot out of it will hit the side.
  8. 8
    Adjust the portal's position so that instead of bouncing directly back, it bounces off the side and into the doorway, activating the receptacle.

    Shoot a portal to the right of the doorway the energy ball just went through, almost on the wall of the slanted piece.

    Shoot a portal at the ground near the box, then another at your feet. Portal cancel.

  13. 13
    Jump off the corner and aim yourself around the corner to end up on a ledge.
  14. 14
    Jump down the hall and up the stairs. Shoot a portal at the ground and grab the box through it.
  15. 15
    Put it on the box. Hop into the small room and press the button there.
  16. 16
    Hop back and grab the box. Throw it into the incinerator and then hop into the chamberlock.

  4. 4
    Aim for the ceiling above the next ledge and shoot. Shoot the other at your feet.
  5. 5
    While falling through the portal on the ceiling, shoot one portal at your feet, then look up. You will see a far piece of pushed-out concrete on a ledge high up. Shoot the other portal there.
  6. 6
    You will end up in a small room behind a large button. Go farther in and press the smaller button.
  7. 7
    Crouch down and quickly exit as soon as you can squeeze out from the right side. Aim for the slanted surface of the wall that just came out, then jump off the ledge to the right of the wall and shoot a portal where you would land to go flying to an area near a box.
