Navigate Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15 in Portal Reloaded using lasers and time portals. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to solve these challenging puzzles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Test 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 travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target directly. Proceed 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 reflect it into the next two nodes. Travel to the future. In 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. Adjust the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If necessary, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it back to the present. Finally, position 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: 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. On the other side, use another time portal to return to the present. Place a new portal on the upper wall above the laser room to direct the laser to the first receiver. Travel to the future and place a portal in the laser room to aim 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 cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it to the present via a time portal within the laser room, positioning it to reflect the laser into the second receiver through the node. To cross the particle field without going through it, use a portal on the other side or a time portal. Reach the present on the other side of the particle field. 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 minor damage from the laser is acceptable to reach the future.
  • In Test Chamber 14, precise positioning of the reflector cube is crucial for hitting all nodes.
  • Test Chamber 15 involves complex manipulation of time portals and reflector cubes to bypass the particle field and activate multiple receivers. Pay close attention to the sequence of actions and portal placements.
