Portal 2 Hints
Where am I supposed to portal to?
1 of 9: Look at the wall ahead of you, where Wheatley is shining his light.
2 of 9: Up near the top left part of the lit area is a small alcove.
3 of 9: The wall you can see in the alcove is portal-friendly, as is the large wall right in front of you.
4 of 9: Put an orange portal on the wall in front of you and a blue portal on the wall in the alcove, then go through.
5 of 9: That's not all, though. Move over to the railing on the other side of the alcove and look into the large room beyond.
6 of 9: Wait for Wheatley to shine his light on an alcove on the other side of that area, then put a blue portal on its back wall. (You may have to wait a bit for the moving machinery to be out of the way.)
7 of 9: Open an orange portal in your alcove, then go through it to reach the other one.
8 of 9: Wheatley will then shine his light on another nearby portal-friendly wall.
9 of 9: Relocate your orange portal to it when the moving machinery allows, then turn around and go through the blue portal.
