Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's 'Lasers' section, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex 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 may take some damage from the laser to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target directly. Proceed through the door.
- 2Test Chamber 14: First, take a time portal to the present. Summon a reflector cube from the central switch and position it as shown in the image. Use a portal to bring a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to direct 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. Position the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes; adjust as necessary. If you moved the future reflector cube, return to the future to retrieve it again and bring it to the present. 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 going 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 above the laser room 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 still be hitting the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on this platform and shoot a time portal behind the node. This will raise the platform, allowing you to summon a reflector cube. Place this cube on the small lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future by placing your time portal conveniently. Pick up the future reflector cube and enter the laser room. Place another time portal in the laser room to bring the future reflector cube to the present. Position it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. Now, reach the other side of the particle field without going through it. Use an existing portal or a time portal to get to the present on the other side. Climb the stairs and place 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 15, be mindful of how moving cubes can affect future states and laser paths.
- Pay close attention to the placement of portals and time portals to effectively manipulate laser trajectories across different time periods.
