Portal 2 Hints
How can I help Wheatley move on past the end of his rail?
1 of 9: Stand and wait until he finally gets up the courage to detach himself and drop to the floor.
2 of 9: Pick him up off the floor, then turn to face the wall that's to the left of the damaged wall section.
3 of 9: When a small panel opens up near the bottom of the wall, move over to it to plug Wheatley into some sort of socket.
4 of 9: Turn around so that you can't see him, then wait until he says to turn around again.
5 of 9: After a large section of the wall opens up and Wheatley detaches himself, pick him up and go through the new wall opening.
6 of 9: Keep going along the only path available until you reach the chamber where you fought the old GLaDOS computer at the end of the first Portal game.
7 of 9: Ignore Wheatley's protests and go on in, then go to the back of the chamber to find a walkway with a broken staircase.
8 of 9: Drop down to the bottom, then move on until you reach the main breaker room.
9 of 9: Enter it and wait until Wheatley activates another socket, then plug him in and wait through the sequence where GLaDOS gets revived. (And here I was hoping that I'd never have to hear that voice again!)
