The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get this orb all the way to its receptor device?
1 of 6: If you'll remember, the receptor is just past the top of the stairs, up in the area where you got the storage cube.
2 of 6: It's on the floor, shining its red light up onto the ceiling.
3 of 6: So toss a blue portal up onto the ceiling where the red light is hitting it.
4 of 6: Then go all the way back to the energy orb room, using the up-and-down platforms to get across the toxic hallway.
5 of 6: Peek into the orb room and toss an orange portal at the wall on the left where it has a black scorch mark on it.
6 of 6: The orb will go through the orange portal and end up inside the receptor.
