Portal 2 Hints

How can I get to the exit door?

  • 1 of 10: Have you tried stepping on the faith plate that's near the chamber's entrance?
  • 2 of 10: It'll throw you across to the other faith plate's ledge, which is near the exit door's ledge.
  • 3 of 10: However, using that ledge's faith plate will just get you back to the starting area. You'll need to use more than just the faith plates to get to the exit ledge.
  • 4 of 10: Notice that there's a small platform with a portal-friendly surface about halfway between the two faith plate platforms.
  • 5 of 10: In some earlier test chambers, you used light bridges to block your flight path after being launched by an aerial faith plate. Why not use an excursion funnel to do the same thing here?
  • 6 of 10: Put an orange portal on the wall where the funnel hits it, then put a blue portal on the small ledge's surface.
  • 7 of 10: Step on the faith plate to be hurled into the extended funnel, which will push you up against the ceiling.
  • 8 of 10: Looking toward the back of the chamber, you'll see the exit ledge on the right. What's that you can see directly across from it?
  • 9 of 10: It's a slanted portal-friendly surface. You know what that means!
  • 10 of 10: Since you're hovering in the air a ways above the blue portal, you can easily portal-fling yourself onto the exit ledge by relocating the orange portal onto the slanted surface.
