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. Once in the future, rearrange portals to direct the laser into the target, then exit through the 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 direct 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 hits the node. Retrieve the reflector cube from the future and bring it to the present via a time portal. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, travel back to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again. Finally, position the future reflector cube 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 reach the future, bypassing the particle field. Move 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 shoot the receiver. Return to the present. The laser should be hitting the upper receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the platform and place a time portal behind the node to raise it further. This will allow 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 via a time portal within the laser room. Position it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. Now, get to the other side of the particle field without going through it (use a portal on the other side or a time portal). In the present, 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 test chamber.
Tips
- Be mindful of taking damage from lasers to travel into the future.
- Carefully position reflector cubes to hit all necessary nodes and receivers.
- Understand how moving cubes in the present can affect future states and vice-versa.
