Portal 2 Hints
How can I get a storage cube onto this button?
1 of 10: First, find where the storage cubes are being dropped.
2 of 10: Checking the ceiling for cube tubes, you'll find one that's directly over a floor that's way below the main one.
3 of 10: You don't have a gravity gun to pull the cube in with, so how might you get it out of its low-down area?
4 of 10: Notice that an orange portal is on a wall near the big red button.
5 of 10: What if you were to open a blue portal down in the room with the cube?
6 of 10: If you look down and aim at the cube, you can create a blue portal under it that'll cause it to "fall" out of the orange portal.
7 of 10: TIP: If you run into the chamber and look down into the cube pit fast enough, you'll be able to place a blue portal on the floor where the cube will land before it drops, which will make it come out of the orange portal with more momentum. That may cause it to land on the big red button, which will get you an achievement.
8 of 10: Or you can place a blue portal on another part of the cube room's floor, then go through the orange portal to get down there. (Or just drop down from the higher floor.)
9 of 10: Drop the cube through the blue portal, then follow it.
10 of 10: Either way, take the cube over to the big button and drop it.
