Portal 2 Hints
How can I get into the room with the stalemate resolution button?
1 of 6: Look on the opposite side of the lair from GLaDOS' panel to see the entrance to the stalemate resolution room.
2 of 6: Go over to it to find that you can't get in due to the entrance being covered with wire mesh panels.
3 of 6: Look into the button room to see that it has a large portal-friendly section on its ceiling.
4 of 6: Fire a blue portal onto that ceiling, then turn around and look for a place to put your orange portal.
5 of 6: The sprinkler system washed away most of the conversion gel, but there's a small patch of it left under Wheatley.
6 of 6: Put your orange portal there, then drop through it to enter the stalemate resolution room.
