Portal 2 Hints
Where can I get a redirection cube?
1 of 6: Look to the left of the receptacle device to see a small side room whose entrance is blocked.
2 of 6: There's a redirection cube in there, so find a way to get it out.
3 of 6: The room's floor is portal-friendly, so you could enter the room by putting a blue portal on its floor and an orange portal on any floor section or portal-friendly wall section that you can reach.
4 of 6: However, there's no need to enter the cube's side area. You can put an orange portal on the nearby floor and a blue portal under the cube, then grab it as it bounces up out of the orange portal.
5 of 6: Or put the orange portal on a wall instead of the floor so the cube will "fall" into the main area without bouncing up and down.
6 of 6: NOTE: The button pedestal in the cube's side area just drops another cube and destroys the current one, which is never a useful thing to do.
