Detailed walkthrough for the Lasers section of Portal Reloaded, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15. Learn 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 move the laser sideways and a time portal to move the laser into the future. Travel through the time portal (taking some damage is acceptable) to reach the future. Rearrange portals in the future so the laser hits the target. Head through the exit 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 shown. Use a portal to direct a laser through the first node and then reflect it into the next two nodes using the cube. 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 necessary, 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: 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. 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 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 shoot 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 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 an existing portal or a time portal. Once 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, don't be afraid to take a little damage from the laser to 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 and careful management of the particle field and reflector cubes. Pay close attention to the images for precise placement.
  • Note that moving past cubes can disrupt the path of future cubes, a mechanic highlighted in the comments section.
