Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's 'Lasers' section, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn how to manipulate lasers and time portals to solve complex puzzles.
Walkthrough
- 1Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown in the image to redirect the laser. Use a time portal to move the laser into the future. You may take some damage to ensure you travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals to direct the laser into the target, then proceed through the exit door.
- 2Test 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 guide a laser through the first node, then use this 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. Ensure the present reflector cube hits all three nodes; adjust as necessary. If you moved the future reflector cube, return to the future to retrieve it and bring it back to the present. 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 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 aim at the receiver. Return to the present. The laser should still be hitting the upper receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on this platform and shoot 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 to the present. 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 bypass it. You need to be 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, taking some damage from the laser can help ensure you travel into the future.
- In Test Chamber 14, careful positioning of the reflector cube is crucial for hitting all three nodes.
- Test Chamber 15 requires frequent use of time portals to navigate around the particle field and manipulate lasers and cubes across different time periods.
- Pay close attention to the interaction between cubes, lasers, and portals across present and future states, especially when moving cubes.
