Portal 2 Hints
How can I get the achievements?
1 of 6: Go along the walkway you're on to reach a door that'll open for you.
2 of 6: Go to the back left corner of the room to find another door that has some stuff piled in front of it.
3 of 6: Jump onto the shorter file cabinet so you can go through the door, then go down the hallway to find three vitrified doors with intercoms next to them.
4 of 6: Using all three intercoms will get you the Door Prize achievement if you've already used the intercoms next to the other three vitrified doors earlier in the chapter.
5 of 6: To get the Ship Overboard achievement, go through the hallway's open doorway and along the walkway to find a life preserver from the Borealis.
6 of 6: NOTE: The Borealis is an Aperture Science ship that's mentioned in Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Everybody but Gordon Freeman apparently knows about it, and they all go nuts over the news that it's been found. I wonder what exactly is on that ship?
