The Orange Box: Portal Hints

Chamber 15 Advanced

1 of 8:
Getting over the first glass wall is now much harder due to the fact that most of the floor and ceiling near it is now metal-covered.
- How can I get myself flung over this wall?
2 of 8:
Move on past the glass wall to reach the orb room, which is now harder due to an extra force field.
- How can I get the orb to its receptor?
3 of 8:
Go up the little lift and move down the hallway to reach the second glass-wall-hopping area. It's been complicated, too.
- How can I get over the second glass wall?
4 of 8:
Getting over the third glass wall is just as easy as in the regular version of this chamber. See below if you need a reminder.
- How can I get over the next glass wall?
5 of 8:
Once you're across, you'll find that getting the energy orb into its receptor device is now a more complicated process.
- How can I get the orb into the receptor?
6 of 8:
Once the orb is in the receptor, get back over the third glass wall and through the moving-platform corridor in the normal way. (The platforms move a bit faster, but that shouldn't cause you any problems.) See the links below if you need a reminder.
- How can I get back across the glass wall?
- How can I get to the room at the other end of the moving platform corridor?
7 of 8:
The final chamber, where you need to redirect an energy orb into a receptor past two button-opened doors, is a bit different now due to the walls of the button chambers being covered in metal.
- How can I get the orb into its receptor?
8 of 8: After the orb is powering the room's third lift, you can take it up to the exit elevator.
