Portal 2 Hints
How can I get into the test chamber?
1 of 7: Examining the pillars that are holding up the test chamber, you'll see that some of them have portal-friendly surfaces on their bases.
2 of 7: You should also notice that one of the pillars isn't helping to hold up the test chamber.
3 of 7: Look at the top of that pillar to see a white surface that's portal-friendly.
4 of 7: Put a blue portal on it, then put an orange portal on a pillar base so you can go through it.
5 of 7: From the broken-off walkway section you land on, look toward the test chamber.
6 of 7: You can see into it, and it has a portal-friendly floor, so you know what to do next.
7 of 7: Fire an orange portal onto any spot on the test chamber's floor, then move your blue portal down if necessary so you can go through it to enter the test chamber. (Since the exit portal is on the floor, you should look down as far as you can before going through the blue portal, then lean on the "Move Forward" key.)
