The Orange Box: Portal Hints

Long Jump (PORTAL_LONGJUMP)

• 1 of 9: For this achievement, you'll need to jump (portal-fling yourself) at least 300 feet.
• 2 of 9: You can never jump that far in just one fling, so what you have to do is start by flinging yourself, then create a new portal in the surface you're about to land on so that you continue your jump without stopping, and so on until you've gone 300 feet or more.
• 3 of 9: By far the best place to do this is in the huge multi-level turret ambush room in Chapter 11's Section 4: More Turret Ambushes and the Final Showdown.
• 4 of 9: After you knock over all of the turrets, portal yourself up into the highest turret alcove room. (It's the highest of the two rooms that have slanted "doors" sticking out in front of them.)
• 5 of 9: Put an orange portal on the slanty door that's on the other side of the room and a bit lower than you are, then put a blue portal on the floor next to the wall directly beneath you.
• 6 of 9: Fall through the blue portal to fling yourself out of the orange one, and hopefully you'll be able to fall through the same blue portal again. (To help make sure you do, look down at it as you approach it.)
• 7 of 9: After that, you'll find yourself heading straight for the slanted door on the room you dropped out of.
• 8 of 9: Quickly fire a blue portal into that slanted door so that you'll go through it, then fire another blue portal at the floor when you fall down toward it.
• 9 of 9: After that, you can just let yourself fall to the floor in order to get the achievement.
