Portal 2 Hints
How can I get the second corrupted core?
1 of 6: GLaDOS sends it to the same place that she sent the first core, even though the walkway underneath it is broken.
2 of 6: Portal yourself onto the walkway like you did before, then go over to the edge of the walkway break.
3 of 6: The core is swinging back and forth next to the other side of the break, so drop down onto the repulsion gel to get bounced over to the other side.
4 of 6: TIP: Make a running jump off the walkway and lean on the "Move Forward" key so you can make it to the other side after only one bounce.
5 of 6: Go up next to the edge so you can grab the core as it swings by.
6 of 6: NOTE: You could try to time your jump across to the other walkway section so that you can grab the core on the way, but that's hard to do, and may end up taking more time.
