The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get a storage cube?
1 of 10: Look up while standing near the vent opening.
2 of 10: There's a working storage cube tube right overhead.
3 of 10: To get a cube down to you, you'll have to break the storage tube at some spot.
4 of 10: Who do you know who could do that for you?
5 of 10: That's right! The RPG sentry can do it.
6 of 10: So go put an orange portal on one of the sentry room's side walls again (unless your old one is still there).
7 of 10: Then put a blue portal on the floor directly underneath the cube tube.
8 of 10: Peek into the blue portal enough to let the sentry lock onto you, then back up as it fires a rocket.
9 of 10: That'll blow a hole in the tube, and a cube will soon fall through it.
10 of 10: In order to keep the cube from falling into the sentry room, you might want to move your blue portal (or your orange portal) before the cube falls.
