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 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. Enter the time portal yourself, potentially taking damage, to travel to the future. Rearrange portals in the future to direct the laser into the target and exit the chamber.
- 2Test Chamber 14: Travel to the present. 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 the reflector cube to direct 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. Position the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If adjustments are needed, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it to the present again. Finally, place the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test Chamber 15: Start by going 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 to the future and place a portal on the small wall in the laser room to aim at the receiver. Return to the present. An elevating platform near the switch should be powered up. 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 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 a portal on the other side or a time portal. 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. Move the reflector cube onto the switch to complete the 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, be mindful of the particle field and use time portals strategically to bypass it. Adjusting the reflector cube placement is crucial for hitting all receivers.
