The Orange Box: Portal Hints
Where can I go after trashing those turrets?
1 of 8: You'll need to get up to the area they dropped down from.
2 of 8: But if you look around up there carefully, you'll find that there are no portal-worthy surfaces in sight.
3 of 8: However, the floor you're standing on is concrete.
4 of 8: And there's a really big drop from your level to the lower floor of the main room.
5 of 8: So yeah, it's fling-thing time again. Yeehaw, ah reckon.
6 of 8: Put an orange portal in the approximate center of the red-lit part of the floor.
7 of 8: Go over to the drop-off and fire a blue portal onto the floor below in a spot where you can easily drop down through it.
8 of 8: If you drop straight through the blue portal, you'll get flung up into the area above your orange portal.
