Portal 2 Hints
How can I open the exit door?
1 of 8: If you're not on the starting platform, get back onto it using portals. (Put one on the platform's ceiling, and put the other one on a portal-friendly wall or floor section that you can reach.)
2 of 8: Look across the chamber and a bit to the left to see the exit door's alcove.
3 of 8: Notice that there's a laser receptacle on the wall to the left of the alcove. There are also two blue checkmarks just above the exit door.
4 of 8: Just above each checkmark is a white square. One of them has a single dot in it, and the other one has two dots.
5 of 8: If you look on the floor near the edge of the starting platform, you'll see a laser relay next to a white square with two dots on it.
6 of 8: If you look off to the right, you'll see a laser emitter in the distance. To the left of it is a high-up ledge that has a white square on it with a single dot in it.
7 of 8: Examine the ledge carefully in Zoom mode to see that it has a laser relay on it.
8 of 8: You're going to need to use redirection cubes to get the laser beam to go through two relays and into the receptacle near the exit alcove.
