Portal 2 Hints
How can I get through this test chamber?
1 of 7: Look on your side of the chamber for a button pedestal.
2 of 7: TIP: To get the You Made Your Point achievement, stand around for awhile before pressing the pedestal's button.
3 of 7: When you press the button, a franken-turret will fall from the overhead tube and land directly on the big red button on the other side of the chamber, thereby opening the exit door.
4 of 7: You can then use the portal-friendly walls on your side of the chamber and the exit door's side to get across.
5 of 7: After you go through the exit door and approach the next door, Wheatley will open up a wall section to the left of his monitor.
6 of 7: Go through it to get back into the test chamber you just left.
7 of 7: Get through it like you did before, and Wheatley will decide to open the door that leads to the elevator.
