Portal 2 Hints
How can I redirect the laser from the second relay to the receptacle?
1 of 5: Fortunately, you don't have to portal-fling yourself onto the starting platform, which is where the second relay is.
2 of 5: You can easily get up there by putting a blue portal on its ceiling, then putting an orange portal on the floor or a wall.
3 of 5: Don't forget to carry the final redirection cube through with you, since you'll be needing it.
4 of 5: Move the cube into the laser beam, turn it so that the beam will go into the receptacle that's to the left of the exit alcove, then drop it.
5 of 5: TIP: First, move the beam around in the alcove to blow up the four turrets that are in it.
