Portal 2 Hints
How can I get back to the cube alcove?
1 of 5: By using portals, just like before.
2 of 5: The portals are both being used to redirect the laser beam now, but you can change them to let you get back to the storage cube alcove. It doesn't matter if the platform stops while you're doing that.
3 of 5: However, once you're in the cube alcove, you'll need to reset the portals to redirect the laser beam back into the receptacle.
4 of 5: Since the orange portal (the one that's on the wall opposite the receptacle) isn't visible from the storage cube alcove, you'll need to leave it alone.
5 of 5: Relocate the blue portal onto a wall in the cube alcove, then go through the orange portal to get there.
