Portal 2 Hints
How can I get to those cubes?
1 of 7: You'll have to use the laser to burn the three turrets guarding the cubes.
2 of 7: Since you don't have access to the storage cube yet, you'll have to stand on the big red button to activate the laser emitter.
3 of 7: Notice that the laser beam hits a portal-friendly floor section.
4 of 7: Put an orange portal there, then look over to the right.
5 of 7: The wall section that's facing the three cube-guarding turrets is also portal-friendly.
6 of 7: So put a blue portal on it and watch those turrets burn! (Note that you may have to adjust the exact position of the blue portal so the laser will hit the turrets.)
7 of 7: You can then go down the turrets' hall and carry the cubes back to the button room one at a time. (Note that the other turrets you can see past another glass wall won't be able to shoot you.)
