How can I get over the next glass wall?
  • 1 of 5: In a way very similar to how you got over the first one, since there's no metal flooring getting in the way of your portals.
  • 2 of 5: The extended wall segment that you need to set your orange portal on is near the ceiling again, close to the force field you just came in through.
  • 3 of 5: After it's set, fire a blue portal into the floor anywhere and go through it.
  • 4 of 5: If you land on the floor again, look straight down at it and fire another blue portal.
  • 5 of 5: Keep that up until you get tossed over the glass wall.
