Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's "Lasers" section, 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 send it into the future. Run through the time portal, taking some damage if necessary. In the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target. Head through the exit door.
  2. 2
    Test Chamber 14: 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. Position the present reflector cube to hit all three nodes. If needed, return to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube again. 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 reach the future, bypassing 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 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 hit the first receiver, powering an elevating platform. Stand on the platform and place a time portal behind the node to raise the platform, 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 run into the laser room. Place a time portal in the laser room to bring the future reflector cube into the present. 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. In the present, on the other side of the particle field, climb the stairs and place 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, you can afford to take some damage from the laser to travel into the future if needed.
  • 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.
  • Test Chamber 15 involves frequent use of time portals and careful manipulation of particle fields and reflector cubes. Pay close attention to portal placement to bypass the particle field and activate receivers in the correct order.
  • User comments suggest potential confusion in the explanation for Test Chamber 15, particularly regarding the interaction of reflector cubes and lasers, and the order of operations for activating the final receiver.
