The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I leave the turret ambush room?
1 of 6: Look around up high.
2 of 6: There is, as usual, a very high-up walkway that you need to reach via portal-flinging.
3 of 6: Notice that two of the turret rooms' doors opened outward and stopped at an angle.
4 of 6: Those are undoubtedly the "launch points" that you need to use for your fling thing.
5 of 6: Your first goal is to get an orange portal onto the top of the upper slanty door. There are several ways to do this.
6 of 6: Once the orange portal is in place, drop back down to the floor if you're not already there, then do the old "open blue portal directly beneath self" routine until you get flung onto the upper walkway.
