Portal 2 Hints
How can I get up to that walkway?
1 of 8: Look along the overhead support beams that lead away from that walkway to see that a small part of the broken walkway portion survived.
2 of 8: The beam that it's hanging from is made of dark metal, which isn't portal-friendly, but notice that some of the white conversion gel got splattered onto part of the beam.
3 of 8: Conversion gel converts any flat, non-moving, non-meshy surface into a portal-friendly surface, no matter what it's made of.
4 of 8: So fire a blue portal onto a white spot on the beam that's over the walkway fragment.
5 of 8: Put an orange portal on a nearby wall section (or down on the floor where more conversion gel got splattered), then go through it to drop onto the walkway fragment.
6 of 8: You can't jump or portal your way from the fragment over to the main walkway, but look down while facing toward it.
7 of 8: Notice the repulsion gel leak on the floor.
8 of 8: Drop off of the walkway fragment so that you land on the repulsion gel, and it'll bounce you over to the main walkway.
