Complete 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
  1. 1
    Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown in the image. Use a portal to redirect the laser sideways and a time portal to move it into the future. You can 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.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: First, travel to the present via a time portal. Summon a reflector cube and position it in the present as shown. Use a portal to bring a laser through the first node, then reflect 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 needed, travel back to the future to retrieve and reposition the future reflector cube. Finally, place the future reflector cube 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 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 so the laser hits the first receiver. Travel to the future and place a portal on the small wall in the laser room to hit the receiver. Return to the present; the laser should still hit the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the 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. Pick up the future reflector cube and bring it to the present by placing a time portal in the laser room. Position it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To proceed, you need to be in the present on the other side of the particle field. If you have a portal on the other side, use it, or use a time portal to get around the 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 chamber.
Tips
  • In Test Chamber 13, taking damage from the laser can be a viable way to reach the future if portal placement is difficult.
  • Test Chamber 14 requires careful manipulation of both present and future states of the reflector cube and laser.
  • Test Chamber 15 involves complex use of time portals to bypass particle fields and manipulate laser paths across different time periods. Pay close attention to the placement of reflector cubes and portals in both present and future.
