Portal 2 Hints
How can I get the corrupted core?
1 of 6: Look on the side of the lair that's opposite the broken conversion gel pipe for a horizontal repulsion gel pipe that has a walkway over it.
2 of 6: To get the core, you'll need to get up onto that walkway.
3 of 6: Following the walkway along visually, you'll see that one of the high-up extended plates with conversion gel on it is right over one end of the walkway.
4 of 6: Fire a blue portal onto that plate, then put an orange portal on the floor and fall through it.
5 of 6: Run down the walkway to where the core is held by a delivery device.
6 of 6: Go up to the core and hit the "Use Item" key to pick it up.
