Portal 2 Hints
How can I get up to the chamber exit?
1 of 9: To do that, you'll need to use the cube, the big red button, and some repulsion gel.
2 of 9: Notice that putting the cube on the big red button lowers the lift that leads up to the exit door's floor.
3 of 9: You can't jump onto the lift unless you have some repulsion gel to bounce you up there.
4 of 9: Put an orange portal under the gel tube, then put a blue portal on the floor next to the lift. Wait for some gel to come up out of it, then move the blue portal somewhere else so the gel will hit the floor.
5 of 9: Get on the gel and jump onto the lift, then turn around and figure out a way to get the cube off the big red button while staying on the lift.
6 of 9: Remember what you did earlier to get the cube to start bouncing crazily around the room?
7 of 9: It was the repulsion gel that did it. Try hitting the cube with some more of that.
8 of 9: Look above the big red button to see that the ceiling that's right over it is portal-friendly.
9 of 9: Put a blue portal on the ceiling over the button to get some gel to fall out of it. It'll coat the cube and start it bouncing around, allowing the lift to rise.
