Portal 2 Hints
How can I get into and out of the secret area?
1 of 6: Look up while standing on the light bridge.
2 of 6: There's a large hole in the ceiling, past which is the secret area.
3 of 6: Put an orange portal on the wall at the end of the light bridge (or on the wall along the side of the bridge), then put a blue portal on the portal-friendly ceiling section that's past the hole.
4 of 6: Go through the orange portal to drop into the secret area, then look around it until you're done.
5 of 6: Go over to the big hole in the floor, then quicksave. You'll have to make a tricky drop onto the light bridge.
6 of 6: Or you can relocate your blue portal onto the wall next to the light bridge to create an extended bridge section that you can drop onto. (This assumes the orange portal is on the wall at the end of the light bridge. If it's not, put it there now.)
