Portal 2 Hints
How can I get a franken-turret onto the big red button?
1 of 10: To get a franken-turret to drop from the tube, press the button on the pedestal.
2 of 10: Do that a few more times if you enjoy the spectacle of franken-turrets falling into the abyss, then think of a way to keep one from doing that.
3 of 10: You'll remember from the previous chamber that excursion funnels will work on franken-turrets, too.
4 of 10: Position a blue portal on the wall that's across from the small lower ledge so that a falling franken-turret would land on the excursion funnel extension.
5 of 10: Press the pedestal's button to get a franken-turret to drop, then wait for it to get pushed against the wall above the small ledge.
6 of 10: Relocate the blue portal to the small ledge's portal-friendly surface to get the franken-turret pushed up against the ceiling.
7 of 10: TIP: You can then relocate the orange portal to the top of the portal-friendly wall section that's opposite Wheatley's monitor to break it and get credit toward the Smash TV achievement. After you do that, put the orange and blue portals back where they were so you can get another franken-turret.
8 of 10: Go up next to the funnel without getting caught up in it, then grab the franken-turret and pull it out of the funnel.
9 of 10: Drop it on the ledge, then move the blue portal onto the floor underneath the big red button.
10 of 10: Put the franken-turret into the funnel extension to get it pressed up against the button, which allows you to access the exit door.
