Detailed walkthrough for the 'Lasers' section of Portal Reloaded, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 with step-by-step instructions and tips for using lasers and time portals.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown to redirect a laser. Use a time portal to move the laser into the future. Travel through the time portal (taking damage is acceptable) to reach the future. Rearrange portals in the future to direct the laser into the target, then exit through the door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the present as shown. Use a portal to bring a laser through the first node, then use it to reflect 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. Adjust the reflector cube in the present to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again and bring it to the present. Position the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
  3. 3
    Test 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 bypass the particle field in the future. Proceed 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 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 now power an elevating platform. Stand on it 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 bring it back to the present via a time portal placed in the laser room. Position this cube to reflect the laser to 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 test chamber.
Tips
  • In Test Chamber 13, you can take some damage from the laser to travel into the future.
  • In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present hits all three nodes; adjust its position as needed.
  • In Test Chamber 15, you may need to retrieve the future reflector cube multiple times. Pay attention to the placement of time portals to efficiently move between present and future.
  • The comments suggest a potential misunderstanding in the explanation for Test Chamber 15 regarding the interaction of reflector cubes and lasers, particularly when moving past cubes that disrupt future cubes.
