Portal 2 Hints
How can I get up to the second floor?
1 of 8: By using what you landed on when you flung yourself onto the lowest floor.
2 of 8: It's a slanted surface that's not portal-friendly. What does that indicate you need?
3 of 8: How about some repulsion gel?
4 of 8: There's a repulsion gel leak dripping down onto a nearby portal-friendly section of the floor, so put it to good use.
5 of 8: Put an orange portal under the leak, then put a blue portal on the slanted surface you used to portal-fling up here.
6 of 8: That'll portal-fling some gel onto the slanted surface. Wait until it's covered, then use it to get to the second floor.
7 of 8: The way to do that is to portal-fling yourself back up onto the lowest floor just like you did before. When you hit the slanted surface this time, you'll bounce up to the second floor.
8 of 8: NOTE: Instead of dropping back down to the bottom of the structure and redoing everything, you could go over to the edge of the big hole that's in the middle of the floor and look down. Put the orange portal on the floor far below you, then drop into it.
