Portal 2 Hints
How can I get up to that walkway?
1 of 16: There are some gel tubes nearby, but there's no way to get any gel out of them, so portal-flinging is your only option here.
2 of 16: Look at the wall that's directly across the room from the walkway you're trying to get to.
3 of 16: Near the top of that wall is a small portal-friendly section.
4 of 16: If you portal-flung yourself out of that wall section with enough momentum, you'd sail across the room and land on the high-up walkway.
5 of 16: Looking around for other portal-friendly surfaces, you'll find two on the floor, plus two more on the wall that's opposite the entrance.
6 of 16: Only one of those surfaces is high enough to get you some decent portal-fling momentum, so get yourself up there.
7 of 16: Put an orange portal on the lower wall section, then put a blue portal on the higher one so that you can go through the orange portal and drop down onto the walkway section that's beneath the blue one.
8 of 16: That walkway section doesn't connect to the one you need to get to, but you are high enough off the floor for a good portal fling.
9 of 16: However, if you look over at the wall section that you need to fling yourself out of, you'll find that it's impossible to get a portal onto from your position due to all the glass panels that are in the way.
10 of 16: Go over to the walkway's broken-off section and look down at the floor below you.
11 of 16: Notice that one of the two portal-friendly floor sections is right below you, and the other one is near the other side of the room.
12 of 16: What if you were to portal-fling yourself up out of that other floor section?
13 of 16: You'd then be able to put a portal on the high-up wall section that's across from the walkway you're going for, and have enough momentum to get flung across to that walkway.
14 of 16: Put an orange portal on the floor section that's below you and a blue portal on the other floor section.
15 of 16: Drop into the orange portal to come shooting up out of the blue one. As soon as you do, move your view down until you can see the high-up wall section that you need to put a portal on.
16 of 16: Relocate your orange portal to that wall section before falling back through the blue one in order get flung onto the walkway you're going for.
