The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get over to where that sign is pointing?
1 of 9: There doesn't seem to be any way to.
2 of 9: Except through the glass.
3 of 9: Too bad that rocket-firing sentry can't see into this room.
4 of 9: But he can, through the magic of portals!
5 of 9: Go back to the sentry room and fire an orange portal into one of the side walls.
6 of 9: Then return to the big window room and fire a blue portal into the wall opposite the window.
7 of 9: Let the sentry see you through the portal and lock on, then dodge out of the way so its rocket will hit the window.
8 of 9: Then reset your orange portal so the sentry can't see you anymore.
9 of 9: You can now go through the shattered window and over to the "over here" sign.
