Portal 2 Hints
How can I get a redirection cube?
1 of 7: Look across the chamber and to the right to see a ledge with a button pedestal on it.
2 of 7: Pressing its button will drop a redirection cube, so your first goal is to get over to the pedestal's ledge.
3 of 7: There are two ways to do that. One is to use an advanced portaling tip, and the other is to use the big moving platform.
4 of 7: When you press the pedestal's button, a redirection cube will get dropped from the cube tube, and will fall into the abyss if the moving platform isn't directly under the tube.
5 of 7: Watch the platform until it reaches the other end of its track and changes direction. Right after it does, quickly fire a blue portal onto the high-up portal-friendly wall section that you can see over there, a ways above the platform.
6 of 7: Press the pedestal's button and watch to make sure the redirection cube that drops doesn't bounce off of the platform.
7 of 7: After you get a cube onto the platform, put an orange portal in the nearby portal-friendly wall section and go through it to drop down onto the platform.
