Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's Laser challenges in Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Test 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 to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target directly. Proceed through the door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: First, take a time portal to the present. 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. Ensure the present reflector cube hits all three nodes; adjust as needed. If you moved the future reflector cube, return to the future to retrieve it again. Place the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
  3. 3
    Test 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 the future to bypass 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 now 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 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 in the laser room. Position it to reflect the laser into 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. You need to be in 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 chamber.
Tips
  • In Test Chamber 13, taking minor damage from the laser can be a viable strategy to reach the future faster.
  • In Test Chamber 14, careful positioning of the reflector cube is crucial for hitting all three nodes. You may need to shuttle the cube between present and future.
  • Test Chamber 15 requires frequent use of time portals to manipulate the environment and laser paths around particle fields and receivers.
  • Pay close attention to the interaction between present and future cubes and lasers, especially when moving cubes across time.
