Portal 2 Hints
How can I get the storage cube that's in the main part of the chamber?
1 of 11: If you peek around the corner past the turret you knocked over, you'll see that the cube is up on a raised floor section, and is being guarded by four turrets.
2 of 11: Looking around the chamber, you'll see several portal-friendly wall sections. However, don't bother trying to extend the light bridge to where it'll knock any of the turrets over, knock the cube down to the main floor, or let you get onto the cube's floor. The place is rigged to make all of that impossible.
3 of 11: If you look up above the cube's floor, you'll see a walkway that goes above it, and that has a drop-down spot directly over the cube.
4 of 11: To get onto that walkway, you'll need to go down to the other end of the chamber and find two aerial faith plates.
5 of 11: All the faith plates will do at first is toss you from one plate to the other. You'll need to find a way to stop yourself halfway through the flight so you can get onto the metal platform that the plates toss you over.
6 of 11: You can't wiggle around in mid-air to land on the platform. You'll need something to block your flight path.
7 of 11: How about a light bridge extension?
8 of 11: Look above the glass-shielded exit alcove to find a large section of portal-friendly wall.
9 of 11: Put a blue portal near the top of that wall section, then try using a faith plate.
10 of 11: If your blue portal is set high enough, the light bridge that's coming out of it will intercept you and make you fall onto the metal platform.
11 of 11: You can then walk along the walkway that the platform connects to and drop down right on top of the storage cube. Since all of the turrets are facing away from it, it'll be easy to knock them all over.
