Portal 2 Hints
How can I get a redirection cube?
1 of 7: Since there are none lying around loose, there must be a cube tube somewhere.
2 of 7: In the laser beam's room, there are two small higher-up floors, one of which has a cube tube hanging above it.
3 of 7: You can't jump onto the higher-up floors, so you'll have to use portal flinging.
4 of 7: Once you're up there, you'll see that there's no cube on the floor, and no handy way to get one to drop.
5 of 7: If you look across the room to the other little high-up floor area, you'll see that it has a button pedestal.
6 of 7: So drop down to the main floor and portal-fling yourself onto the button's floor, using the slanted surface across from it for your blue portal.
7 of 7: Press the pedestal's button to get the cube tube to drop a redirection cube, then portal-fling yourself back onto its raised floor.
