Portal 2 Hints
How can I escape this room?
1 of 14: The first thing to do is escape the masher trap that Wheatley opens at the end of the conveyor.
2 of 14: After dropping onto the conveyor, turn right so that you're facing the closed gate, then walk backward until Wheatley starts the conveyor up.
3 of 14: Keep trying to move backward in order to move forward slowly, then strafe left onto the walkway when you get to where you can do that.
4 of 14: Go up to the small platform with the button control, then press it to see what it does.
5 of 14: It causes the tube that's above the small ledge directly across from you to drop a single explosive. Look around for something to use it on.
6 of 14: Looking down toward the other end of the room, you'll see a propulsion gel tube next to a ledge that you need to get to.
7 of 14: That ledge has a portal-friendly floor, but there are no portal-friendly surfaces you can get to in order to portal yourself over there.
8 of 14: Notice that the wall at the start of the conveyor belt is portal-friendly, then think about how you could get there.
9 of 14: You can't portal yourself there, but what if the conveyor were covered in propulsion gel? That might allow you to get to its other end.
10 of 14: The first thing to do is break open the propulsion gel pipe like you did the conversion gel pipe in the previous area.
11 of 14: Put an orange portal on the floor of the nearby ledge so that a dropped explosive would go into it, then put a blue portal on the floor of the other ledge so that it's underneath the curvy part of the gel pipe.
12 of 14: Press the button to get an explosive to break the gel pipe, then move the orange portal to the wall next to the conveyor.
13 of 14: Go down to the walkway that's next to the conveyor and wait if necessary for the propulsion gel to reach you, then get on the conveyor and run toward the orange portal.
14 of 14: After you go through it, you'll be on the exit ledge, and can leave the room.
