Portal 2 Walkthrough

Hard-Light Surfaces

Floor 1

Blue should shoot their purple portal at the end of the hard light bridge and their blue portal at the wall on the left. Walk along the bridge and drop down to the second patch of gourd. Face left and move your blue to this white wall. Orange should walk along the light bridge into Blue's portals and out the other side. Fire one portal on the wall ahead and the other on the wall to the right. Both players can now walk through Orange's portals to reach the gate to the next zone.

In this next room Blue will have to place their purple portal at the end of the light bridge and the blue portal slightly below the grill overhead. Use the jam pad and slam into the bottom of the light bridge--as you descend back down place your blue portal further down the wall to land on the bridge. Blue should then enter their blue portal to wind up at the light bridge source.

Blue will then next need to move their blue portal out of the way and allow Orange to use the jump pad. Once gain, when Orange descends down Blue should place their blue portal so that Orange lands on the hard light bridge. Now on the bridge, Orange should shoot one portal at the other end of the bridge and the second portal near the button on the left. Head through these portals and press the button release a sphere at the ground level.

Orange will need to head back down and pick up the sphere, use the jump pad, and return to the light bridge.

Once orange is up top, head over to the node and use it to exit the floor.

The light bridge will now pass through all four portals, right to the floor's elevator.

Floor 3

Blue should first fire their portals to arrive on top of the light bridge. Once there, Blue should switch their portal so that their purple is at the end of hard bridge and their blue is below the sphere dispenser. Orange should move onto the bridge and fire one portal at the opposite end of the blue portal, and their second portal above the sphere sensor node. Blue should now hit the switch on the right, dispensing the sphere, which Orange must catch as it falls. Enter Orange's portals and drop off the sphere in the node to move on to the next area.

Orange should now shoot one portal on the opposite wall from the blue portal and another one in the small patch of light in the ceiling. This will create a wall directly in the jump pad's path. One at a time, both players should use the jump pad and enter the blue portal to the top of the light bridge. Once at the top, Blue should move their blue portal above Orange's portal on the wall. With the bridge now aligned towards the exit, move through the purple portal to finish the level.
