Portal 2 Hints
How can I get to the other side of this area?
1 of 5: Your goal is a side passage that's way below your walkway on the opposite side of the room.
2 of 5: Since you can fall any distance without getting hurt, there are several ways to get there. However, note that falling all the way to the bottom of the room will kill you for some reason.
3 of 5: The lowest place you can fall to safely is a metal walkway that's near the bottom of the room. It's actually a bit below the side passage you're going for, so if you end up on the walkway, you'll need to use portals to get up into the passage.
4 of 5: An easier way to get there is to jump or drop from anywhere on the upper walkway so that you land on some part of the tube spiral. You can then follow the spiral down to where you can drop into the side passage.
5 of 5: NOTE: To be a bit safer, you can drop from the upper walkway onto a yellow turret crate, then drop onto the tube spiral.
