Navigate Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 in Portal Reloaded using lasers, time portals, and reflector cubes. Complete challenging puzzles with this detailed walkthrough.
Walkthrough
- 1Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown in the image. Use a portal to redirect 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 without affecting the present. Position them so the laser directly hits the target, then proceed through the exit door.
- 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 indicated. Use a portal to guide a laser through the first node, then use this to reflect the laser into the subsequent two nodes. Travel to the future. Use portals to bring a laser into the present through the time portal, ensuring it passes through the designated node. Retrieve the reflector cube from the future and bring it to the present via a time portal. Ensure the present reflector cube hits all three nodes; adjust its position if necessary. If you moved the future reflector cube, return to the future to retrieve it again. Finally, position the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test Chamber 15: Begin by passing through the particle field to the left. Place a portal where the laser strikes the wall and a time portal on the opposite wall. Travel through the time portal to reach the future, bypassing the particle field. Proceed to the other side of the room and use another time portal to return to the present, now on the far side of the particle field. Place a new portal on the upper wall above the laser room so the laser hits the first receiver. Return 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 still be hitting the first receiver, powering an elevating platform near the switch. Stand on this 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. Retrieve the future reflector cube and enter 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 into the second receiver through the node. To bypass the particle field without going through it, use an existing portal on the other side or a time portal. You need to be in the present on the other side of the particle field. Climb the stairs and use a portal on the upper wall to hit the third receiver. Move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the test chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 13, you can take some damage from the laser to facilitate travel into the future.
- Test Chamber 14 requires careful manipulation of reflector cubes across present and future timelines.
- Test Chamber 15 involves frequent travel between present and future, and precise placement of portals and cubes to navigate particle fields and activate receivers. Pay close attention to how moving cubes in the present can affect their future counterparts.
