Portal 2 Hints
So how can I get onto that ledge?
1 of 5: Notice the repulsion gel that goes along both sides of the room.
2 of 5: Since you can't bounce onto the cube's ledge using the repulsion gel that's on the floor, you'll have to use the gel that's on the walls.
3 of 5: NOTE: The gel that's on the floor is for getting back onto the big red button's ledge from the lower floor.
4 of 5: While standing near the center of the button's ledge, turn to face the start of either of the gel-covered walls, then run toward it and jump at it when you get close.
5 of 5: Face toward the cube's ledge and lean on the "Move Forward" key until you bounce all the way over there.
