Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's "Lasers" guide, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown to redirect the laser. Use a time portal to move the laser into the future. You may take some damage to ensure you travel forward in time. Once in the future, reposition portals to direct the laser into the target without affecting the present. Exit through the door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present using a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the present as indicated. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node, then use the reflector cube to guide it through 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 the time portal. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again. Finally, 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: 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 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. Travel to the future and place a portal on the small wall in the laser room to direct the laser 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. Pick up the future reflector cube and enter the laser room. Place a time portal to bring the future reflector cube into the present laser room. Position it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. Now, reach the other side of the particle field without passing through it. Use an existing portal or a time portal to get to the present on the other side. 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
  • Be mindful of taking damage to ensure successful time travel.
  • Carefully observe the images provided for precise portal and cube placement.
  • The mechanics of moving cubes can affect future states, so pay attention to cube interactions.
