Navigate the challenging Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 in Portal Reloaded. This guide details how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles and advance through the game.
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. Exit through the door.
- 2Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present using a time portal. Summon a reflector cube from the central switch and position it as shown. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to guide 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 reflector cube from the future and bring it to the present via a time portal. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it to the present again. Finally, position the future reflector cube to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test Chamber 15: Start by passing 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. 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 back 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 be hitting the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the 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 bring it back to the present using a time portal within the laser room. Position this cube to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To bypass the particle field, use a portal on the other side or a time portal. Reach 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. Finally, move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the test chamber.
Tips
- In Test Chamber 13, taking some damage from the laser can be necessary to travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, ensure the reflector cube in the present is correctly positioned to hit all three nodes. You may need to retrieve the future reflector cube multiple times.
- In Test Chamber 15, careful use of time portals is crucial for bypassing particle fields and manipulating laser pathways. Pay close attention to the placement of both portals and reflector cubes to hit all receivers.
