Portal 2 Hints
How can I get to the control room?
1 of 8: Look near the moving platform for a short walkway that leads into a large building with the words "CONTROL ROOM" up at the top.
2 of 8: Unfortunately, the control room is the one at the top of the building, and you can't get there from the lower rooms.
3 of 8: Look to the left of the control room to see a large open platform area that the broken-up walkway sections used to lead to.
4 of 8: What if you were to use portal flinging to get over there?
5 of 8: Look across the area from the control room's platform to see two slanty white surfaces.
6 of 8: The larger of those surfaces is directly across from the platform, so use it to portal-fling yourself over there.
7 of 8: Start by getting back up onto the walkway you tried to fling yourself to the elevator from. This time, put the blue portal on the larger slanty surface.
8 of 8: Dropping into an orange portal on the flooring below the walkway will then fling you across to the control room's platform, from which you can easily enter the control room.
