Portal 2 Hints
How can I get to the cube in the second chamber?
1 of 7: As you enter the chamber, you should notice the cube drop from an overhead cube tube onto a bit of raised flooring on the other side of the room.
2 of 7: You're clearly going to need to portal-fling yourself over to that floor section.
3 of 7: Looking around for the orange portal, you'll find it on the floor of this chamber's deep pit.
4 of 7: So this time you'll be placing the portal that you'll be flung out of instead of the one you'll be dropping into. Look around for a good spot, remembering where you're trying to go.
5 of 7: There are no portal-friendly surfaces on the walls to the right of the cube's floor section, so look to the left, near the chamber's entrance.
6 of 7: You see that extended wall section? Its surface is portal-friendly, and it's slanted upwards.
7 of 7: Fire a blue portal onto it, then drop into the pit's orange portal to get flung onto the cube's floor. (Or maybe onto a higher bit of flooring, from which you can easily drop onto the cube's floor.)
