The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get the cube that's down on the lower floor?
1 of 7: Use a method similar to the one you used in the previous chamber.
2 of 7: Fire a portal down at the floor underneath the cube.
3 of 7: That'll get it transported onto the raised lift that's next to the orange portal.
4 of 7: Now you need to get yourself up there.
5 of 7: You can drop down and go through the portal you've already opened, or you can open another portal in the floor next to you.
6 of 7: Drop through that portal to reach the lift with the cube on it.
7 of 7: Pick the cube up and drop it onto the floor below, then drop down after it. (Or drop down while carrying it.)
