Portal 2 Hints

Chapter 8: The Itch

1 of 13:
Past some stairs and a door, move along the walkway until you reach an observation room that looks down on one of Wheatley's new test chambers.
- How can I get into the test chamber?
- How can I solve this test chamber?
2 of 13:
After Wheatley appears on a screen and talks to you, leave the chamber by going through its door. (Note that if you didn't put a franken-turret on the big red button before, you'll need to do so now.) Move along the walkway until you come to a lift that'll take you into the next test chamber.
- How can I get through this test chamber?
3 of 13:
When Wheatley finally lets you get to the elevator, enter it to move on to a new series of tests, starting with Test Chamber 01. In it, you'll need to get familiar with the new excursion funnel gimmick.
4 of 13:
In Test Chamber 02, you'll need to use excursion funnels to get around without falling into the abyss.
- How can I get to the ledge with the big red button over it?
- How can I get a franken-turret onto the big red button?
5 of 13:
After entering Test Chamber 03, wait for Wheatley to crash another test chamber section into it and activate an excursion funnel.
6 of 13:
In Test Chamber 04, you'll have to deal with a turret as well as the concept of changing the polarity (flow direction) of an excursion funnel.
7 of 13:
Test Chamber 05 requires a combination of excursion funnel and aerial faith plate usage to get around in.
- How can I get to the exit door?
- How can I get a franken-turret onto the big red button?
8 of 13:
In Test Chamber 06, you'll be back to using a light bridge instead of an excursion funnel.
- How can I get a franken-turret onto the big red button?
- How can I then get to the exit?
9 of 13:
Due to Wheatley moving the last test chamber closer to himself, the next one is Test Chamber 11. In it, you'll need to use a franken-turret and a redirection cube to help you get up to the exit.
10 of 13:
In Test Chamber 12, you'll have to do some tricky maneuvering involving a moving platform and a laser grill to get the exit door open.
11 of 13:
Due to your little detour, the next chamber will be Test Chamber 15. Wait for Wheatley to open up an exit area for you, then figure out how to get over to it using the excursion funnel and some propulsion gel.
12 of 13:
In Test Chamber 16, you'll need to trash three turrets before finding a way to the exit.
- How can I get rid of those turrets?
- How can I get to the exit door?
13 of 13: Test Chamber 17 is a trap, as you'll find out when you step on the faith plate near the drop-off. It's unavoidable, so just go with it to get to Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You.
