The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get the cube that's up on a raised lift?
1 of 7: Notice that the orange portal is in the wall next to the other raised lift.
2 of 7: Your first task is to get onto that lift.
3 of 7: To do that, shoot a blue portal into the floor and drop through it.
4 of 7: Now to get across to the lift with the cube.
5 of 7: Once again, remember that after you fire a blue portal, a two-way connection is established.
6 of 7: So fire a blue portal onto the wall next to the lift with the cube, then go through the orange portal to reach it.
7 of 7: Now you can pick up the cube and drop it to the floor below, then drop down after it. (Or drop down while carrying it.)
