Portal 2 Hints
How can I get the laser redirected into the first relay?
1 of 5: To do that, you'll need to get a redirection cube into the high-up alcove that's directly across from the laser emitter.
2 of 5: That's easy to do, since the ceiling and most of the walls of that alcove are portal-friendly.
3 of 5: Put a blue portal anywhere in the alcove, then put an orange portal onto any portal-friendly wall or floor that you can carry a cube through.
4 of 5: Once in the alcove, look to the left of the laser emitter for the high-up ledge that has the first relay on it. (Notice the white square on the ledge with a single dot in it.)
5 of 5: Move the cube into the laser beam and turn it to where the beam is deflected into the first relay, then drop the cube.
