The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I fling myself up to where the storage cube is?
1 of 6: Go over to where you're standing just to the left of the button pedestal.
2 of 6: Look down at the platform and make a blue portal on it.
3 of 6: Turn and hit the button, then wait for the wall segment on the other side of the room to fully extend.
4 of 6: As soon as it does, fire an orange portal at the left half of the wall segment, then drop down through your blue portal.
5 of 6: After you hurtle out of the orange portal, be ready to fire another blue portal onto the same platform as you approach it.
6 of 6: If you can do it right, you'll be flung out hard enough to reach the storage cube room.
