Portal 2 Hints
How can I get into the secret area?
1 of 5: If you're not in the chamber's starting area, use portals to get back across to it.
2 of 5: Go down to where you can look across the chamber and see the two slanty extended wall panels.
3 of 5: Put a blue portal on the higher panel, then put an orange portal on the rightmost portal-friendly wall section that you can see high up above the wall panels' ledge. (It's the only wall section over there that doesn't have another portal-friendly wall section above it.)
4 of 5: Stepping on the first faith plate will then propel you into the secret area.
5 of 5: When you're ready to leave, drop down to the wall panels' ledge, then use portals to get back to the starting area or the exit platform.
