Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You

If you just stand and listen to Wheatley, he'll eventually smash you with his big steel plate gimmick.

As you move along the walkway, Wheatley will smash an innocent franken-turret into the wall just to make more trouble for you.
- How can I get past this new walkway gap?
4 of 11:
Past a small airlock, move along until Wheatley crashes a test chamber through the walkway. Wait until the chamber comes to a stop, then see about getting past it.
- How can I get past this test chamber?
5 of 11:
Past the chamber's exit door, drop down to the lower walkway, then move through a force field to enter the next trap area. It features three fully functional turrets in a small test chamber room.
- How can I get rid of the turrets?
- Where do I go once the turrets are out of the way?
6 of 11:
Past the ledge's force-fielded doorway is a small test chamber room next to another huge chasm.
- How can I get across this chasm?
7 of 11:
Go along the ledge to reach a walkway, then go along it until a falling pipe makes a big gap in it.
- How can I get past this gap?
- How can I get past all the turrets in the next area?
8 of 11:
After the next region loads, go along the hallway and into a room, then look through the cracked glass window to see a railed ledge that you need to get across to.
- How can I get over to that ledge?
9 of 11:
Go through a small room and into a large room with a big white conveyor belt in the middle. Drop onto the conveyor and try moving along it to get Wheatley to spring another trap on you.
- How can I escape this room?
- How can I get into the excursion funnel that's just past the room?
10 of 11:
Ride the funnel along to its end, then push your way out of it so that you fall onto the walkway below. Go along it until you reach a door that leads to a tall shaft.
- How can I get up this shaft?
11 of 11:
Move on past the shaft's top to reach an elevator with a socket panel in it. Go inside and hit the "Use Item" key to plug GLaDOS in and get elevated to Wheatley's lair.
- How can I defeat Wheatley?
