Detailed walkthrough for Portal Reloaded's 'Lasers' section, covering Test Chambers 13, 14, and 15, including the use of time portals and reflector cubes to solve laser puzzles.
Walkthrough
- 1Test Chamber 13: Place portals as shown to move the laser sideways. Use a time portal to send the laser into the future. You may take damage to travel into the future. Once in the future, rearrange portals so the laser hits the target. Head through the exit door.
- 2Test 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, travel back to the future to retrieve the future reflector cube and bring it to the present again. Finally, place the future reflector cube at the end of the nodes to reflect the laser into the receiver, completing the chamber.
- 3Test 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 above the laser room 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 powering an elevating platform near the switch. 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 reflector cube on the lip above the second receiver. Travel to the future. Pick up 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 to the second receiver through the node. Now, get to the other side of the particle field without going through it (use existing portals 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, taking some damage from the laser is acceptable to travel into the future.
- 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.
- In Test Chamber 15, be mindful of the particle field and use time portals strategically to bypass it. Pay close attention to the placement of reflector cubes and portals to hit all receivers.
