[[File:P2 sp goo.jpg|right|230px|thumb|Goo as it appears in ''[[Portal 2]]''.]]
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|The subtext of that acid pit is acid. The content of the pit is also acid. I'll let you fully absorb it.|sound=GLaDOS_dlc1_mp_coop_art_death_acid01.wav}}

The '''Goo''',<ref>[https://plus.google.com/u/0/102090447927900488343/posts/cYPbCtbkkuh Name according to Valve employee, Steve Kalning]</ref> also known as '''Toxic Water''', '''Acid''', and '''Hazard Liquid''', is a common environmental hazard in both ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''.

== Overview ==
Goo is usually present within testing chambers in order to provide a penalty for failure, and to ensure that test subjects are precise with their movements and positioning of their [[portals]].

Objects that have fallen into the goo are irretrievable. In such cases where testing elements like the [[cubes]] are needed to solve a test, a replacement will be issued immediately if the first one was dropped into the goo. On some occasions during ''[[Portal 2]]'', objects in the goo can be heard [[Material Emancipation Grill|fizzling]] immediately after falling in.

Appearance-wise in ''[[Portal]]'', the goo appears as a mixture of red, green, and brown-colored liquid with a swirled appearance. Any contact with the goo will result in continuous damage that would eventually result in killing [[Chell]] within a few seconds upon contact. As of ''Portal 2'', the goo appears to be mainly brown, often with smoke swirling around its presence like in ''Portal''.

'''''Portal 2''''' is the sequel to the award winning and hugely successful ''[[Portal]]'' developed by [[Valve|Valve Corporation]]. It features a single-player story set after the events of ''Portal'''s story; and a brand-new [[Co-op]] game mode, featuring additional [[test chambers]] designed specifically for Co-operative play. ''Portal 2'' was released April 19, 2011 on the Steam platform. Retail release in North America started on April 19, 2011; and later, Europe and Australia on April 21, 2011.

== Plot ==
{{main|Story}}
{{Spoiler|''Portal 2'' takes place an indeterminate amount of time after the events of ''Portal'', which saw [[Chell]] destroying the sentient computer [[GLaDOS]], and landing outside the facility, only to be dragged back inside of [[Aperture Science]] where she was ultimately placed in a [[Relaxation Chamber]] for the indefinite future.}}

{{Spoiler|After considerable time has passed, [[Wheatley]], a [[personality core]], that has helped to maintain Aperture Science during the absence of GLaDOS arrives at the room of the awakening Chell. With a desire to flee the crumbling facility, Wheatley and Chell begin their quest to escape Aperture Science to return to the real world. After separating from Wheatley and completing a series of tests revisited from ''Portal'', Chell reunites with Wheatley and head to what they believe will be escape. They must cross through the chamber of GLaDOS who lies broken and dismembered on the floor of her chamber, they enter the breaker room looking for a way out, and instead accidentally reactivate GLaDOS. They rise up through the floor just in time to witness GLaDOS pulling herself back together and taking over the facility again. Chell and GLaDOS quickly reunite, culminating with GLaDOS using a robotic arm to drop Chell into the incinerator, and guiding her back towards a new series of tests that GLaDOS intends to force Chell to run continuously until she dies.}}

{{Spoiler|Meanwhile, Wheatley attempts to find a way to get out from under GLaDOS and continue their attempt to escape facility, with Chell's help, he intends to disable her turret production line, disable her [[Deadly Neurotoxin]] and then shut her down once again to facilitate their escape. He reunites with Chell and they escape through the bowels of the building. After achieving their goals and enter GLaDOS' now rebuilt chamber, the computer system detects an alternate core and begins the process of a core transfer, which GLaDOS promptly refuses, prompting the Stalemate Button to be activated. Chell works her way to the button, finally hitting it, which then swaps out the cores of GLaDOS and Wheatley. Wheatley, corrupt with the power from the entire facility of Aperture, quickly turns on Chell, and shoves GLaDOS into a potato battery as revenge. He knocks them down an elevator shaft where they fall to the remnants of the previous incarnation of the Aperture facility.}}

{{Spoiler|GLaDOS (in potato form), has now informed Chell that Wheatley was designed to make extremely poor decisions, in order to turn GLaDOS into somewhat of a moron in an effort to control and dampen her homicidal tendencies. She informs Chell that Wheatley's lack of stability is going to cause the destruction of Aperture Science killing everyone and everything inside the facility. Before Chell can decide whether or not to help, GLaDOS is swooped away by a [[bird]] and Chell heads off to attempt to find a way back into the primary facility.}}

{{Spoiler|Chell uncovers the remnants of a 1950's Aperture Science guided by the voice of the now deceased Aperture Science founder [[Cave Johnson]]. She enters a series of tests, often having to navigate between them in unconventional ways due to the deterioration of the lower facility. At this time we learn of Cave Johnson's secretary/assistant, [[Caroline]], of which Cave is rather fond. Chell reunites with GLaDOS in the nest of the bird that took her. GLaDOS, insistent that she can't lie with only 1.1 volts of power, implores Chell to take her with her to put her back in her body and stop Wheatley from destroying the facility. Chell ultimately agrees and attaches GLaDOS to her [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]] and they continue to try to find a path towards the upper facility.}}

{{Spoiler|As Chell continues to run through tests from the 1970's, and 1980's, GLaDOS becomes curious about Caroline and Cave who she keeps hearing in the recorded guidance in test chambers. She comes to a realization, that she chooses not to share with Chell, and they head towards the newer Aperture facility. In an effort to get back up, Chell must turn on pump stations Alpha, Beta, and Gamma which connect [[Repulsion Gel]], [[Propulsion Gel]], and [[Conversion Gel]] to the newer facility. Repulsion and Propulsion Gels were Apertures attempt at a dietary supplement, whereas Conversion Gel, made from crushed up moon rocks which ultimately lead to the death of Cave Johnson, is used as an ideal portal conductor. When painted on any surface, the ASHPD can be used as designed. They reach the newer facility where Wheatley has taken full control.}}

{{Spoiler|Wheatley, now in the body of GLaDOS which has a built in euphoric response to testing, forces Chell to begin a series of tests to fill Wheatley's new found insatiability for testing. These begin with a rather weak attempt by Wheatley to create a test chamber, but ultimately lead to test chambers stock piled by GLaDOS and shoved together crudely by Wheatley. Chell passes through these chambers, and once again finds her way out of the control of Wheatley and into the bowels of the facility. They arrive at Wheatley's test chamber which, he says, has been designed with the entire purpose of not allowing Chell to defeat him. Chell causes Wheatley to destroy a pipe containing Conversion Gel, allowing portals to be used in the chamber which ultimately leads to his destruction. With help from GLaDOS, Chell attaches corrupt personality cores to Wheatley.}}

{{Spoiler|Once the cores are attached to Wheatley, he becomes corrupt, initiating another core transfer. However, in one of the most intelligent premeditated moves Wheatley performs, he has booby trapped the stalemate button, launching Chell back into the chamber, a single portal laying under Wheatley's hanging body. Alive despite the explosion, Chell reaches for her Portal gun, and, remembering that moon dust creates an ideal portal surface, aims it through a hole in the ceiling at a full moon high in the sky. She fires, causing the space core, the adventure core, Chell, and Wheatley still attached to GLaDOS' body flying into space. GLaDOS quickly regains control of her body, knocks Wheatley into space, and pulls Chell back into the facility. GLaDOS monologues regarding no longer having the desire to kill Chell, and instead just wants her to leave the facility forever. She sends Chell up an elevator, past a chorus of turrets singing an opera directly to Chell, and out into a wheat field. Moments later the [[Companion Cube]], burnt and beaten, is thrown up after her and lands on the ground next to Chell.}}

{{Spoiler|Now in space, a remorseful Wheatley comprehends the choices he made, and what he might have done differently. Wishing he had, instead, helped Chell to escape rather than wind up in space.}}

{{Spoiler|The game concludes, yet again, with a song sung by GLaDOS surmising the events of the game. The song, [[Want You Gone]], written by Jonathan Coulton indicates that, despite claims that Caroline has been deleted, is still present inside GLaDOS, and that deleting Chell from her memory bank will make GLaDOS feel better. The song concludes with GLaDOS simply telling Chell she wants her gone.}}

== Development ==
Development on ''Portal 2'' begins shortly after ''[[Portal]]'' was released. It originally was planned to not include any portals in the game, utilizing a new mechanic called '''"F-STOP"'''. ''Portal 2'' was also planned to be set in [[Aperture Science]]'s earlier days, specifically during the 1950's era. When asked one of the members that worked on ''Portal 2'' that the game wasn't going to include portals, and how would the game be a sequel to ''Portal'', and more specifically, use the ''Portal'' title. He replied with, "We'll deal with it later.", hinting it was to focus on the game's mechanics first.

''Portal 2'' was also conceptualized as set after the events of ''Portal'', and [[GLaDOS]] would test the new subject, named [[Mel]], similarly to how it was with [[Chell]]. After playtesters were disappointed after GLaDOS didn't recognize the player as the one who killed her in the first game, Mel was rejected as a result.

Mel also appeared alongside Chell in the co-op mode of ''Portal 2'' for a while before both being ultimately replaced by [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]].

There was also going to be a fourth [[Gel]] planned for the game. Also inspired by "Tag: The Power of Paint", the fourth Gel was named [[Adhesion Gel]]. Bearing a purple texture, it originally allowed Chell to walk up walls. It was canceled due to playtesters became too disoriented and often had motion sickness while trying to pass a [[Test Chamber]] with Adhesion Gel. The coding (although it does not have any texture and bestows no effects on the surface it was painted on), is left in the game files.

Perpetual Testing Initiative

2014-04-04T14:37:46Z

SkairulGames:

{{stub}}

The '''Perpetual Testing Initiative''' is a gamemode and campaign which introduces the concept of multiple alternate universes, simply shortened as "the multiverse". Set entirely on testing chambers created by the ''[[Portal 2]]'' community on the [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse?appid=620 Steam Workshop], the player once again has to fulfill the role of test subject - this time as silent stick figure [[Bendy]].

The test chambers in the DLC are completely user-generated, using the simplistic in-game testing editor " [[Puzzle Creator]]", a much simplified version of Hammer.

It appears that [[Cave Johnson]] still lives in the multiverse and {{spoiler|as healthy as he was before he was poisoned after contacting Moon rocks in an attempt to create [[Conversion Gel]] in the main Earth, as}} Bendy can hear Johnson talking to him from a microphone as he navigates the test chambers. Also, every Earth in the multiverse results with [[GLaDOS]] being abolished {{spoiler|after she tries to flood the [[Enrichment Center]]s in the various Earths with deadly neurotoxin.}}

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.|sound=GLaDOS_13_part1_middle-2.wav}}
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|I think that one was about to say 'I love you.' They ARE sentient, of course. We just have a LOT of them.|sound=GLaDOS_sp_a2_pit_flings06.wav}}
The '''Weighted Companion Cube''' (often referred to as the '''Companion Cube''') is a recurring object in the ''Portal'' universe. It appears almost identical to the [[Weighted Storage Cube]] but with a pink heart replacing the [[Aperture Science]] logo.

In ''[[Portal]]'', the Companion Cube was given to [[Chell]] in order to aid her in completing [[Portal Test Chamber 17|Test Chamber 17]]. {{Spoiler text|In order to progress through the exit at the end of the chamber, the cube was dropped into the [[Emergency Intelligence Incinerator|incinerator]] to be "euthanized". [[GLaDOS]] used this moment to taunt Chell during their confrontation. However, the Companion Cube can be seen prior to the end credits next to the [[Cake]], suggesting that it survived.}}

The Companion Cube makes a prominent appearance in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic, in which it speaks with protagonist [[Doug Rattmann]]. This appears to reference ''Portal'', in which GLaDOS states that the Companion Cube cannot speak and, if it does, its advice should be [[Media:GLaDOS_13_part1_middle-2b-2.wav|disregarded]].

In ''[[Portal 2]]'', {{Spoiler|GLaDOS briefly torments Chell by repeatedly destroying Companion Cubes in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 7|Test Chamber 7]]. It is at this point that GLaDOS claims that the Cubes are in fact [[Media:GLaDOS_sp_a2_pit_flings06.wav|sentient]], which suggests that they possess some level or rudimentary intelligence similarly to [[Turrets]]. The Cube also makes an appearance in the [[Co-op]] campaign but is inaccessible, preventing the player from interacting with it. After Chell leaves the facility upon completing Portal 2, a scorched Companion Cube is ejected after her. This Cube is not the newly-designed Portal 2 Companion Cube, but is the same as the cube from ''Portal''. Valve said that it's the exact same cube the player euthanized in the first ''Portal'', that is given back to the her <ref>[http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/27/valve-on-portal-2-spoiler-interview-part-one/ Valve On Portal 2: Spoiler Interview Part One] on [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ Rock Paper Shotgun]</ref> . The Companion Cube in ''Portal 2'' hums an excerpt of [[Turret Opera|Cara Mia]], which can be heard when it is nearby.}}

SkairulGames: /* Discouragement Redirection Cube */

{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|If you think trapping yourself is going to make me stop testing, you're sorely mistaken; here's another cube.|sound=GLaDOS_sp_a2_future_starter01.wav}}
[[File:Portal1 StorageCube.png|right|250px]]
'''Cubes''' are common testing elements throughout the ''Portal'' series.

== Cubes ==
=== Weighted Storage Cube ===
[[File:Portal2 StorageCube.png|left|100px]]

The '''Weighted Storage Cube''' was first introduced in ''Portal'', and remains prevalent in ''Portal 2''. In ''Portal 2'' however, the cube is given a blue ring in the center instead of a blue cross, and can turn yellow when placed upon a [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Super Button]].
{{Clr}}

=== Weighted Companion Cube ===
[[File:Companion Cube.png|right|100px]]
{{Main|Weighted Companion Cube}}

The '''Weighted Companion Cube''' was first introduced in ''Portal'', and remains prevalent in ''Portal 2''. Similar to the Weighted Storage Cube, the Companion Cube possesses a different design in ''Portal 2''. The Cube functions in the same way as a Weighted Storage Cube, being differentiated to encourage test subjects to feel attached to the Cube. {{spoiler|A feature to the new Companion Cube in ''Portal 2'' is that it is able to sing.}}
{{Clr}}

=== Edgeless Safety Cube ===
[[File:ESC.png|left|100px]]

The '''Edgeless Safety Cube''' was officially introduced in ''Portal 2'', where it is used only in the [[Cooperative Testing Initiative|co-op]] campaign. However, it also appears once in the single-player campaign as garbage. The entire name is given out of irony, however it still retains the coloring scheme and patterns present in the designs of the other cubes.

The Edgeless Safety Cube did have an appearance in a ''Portal'' Challenge Map, however it was unnamed and also did not have an accompanying receptacle, thus is not widely considered to have its first appearence until ''Portal 2''.
{{Clr}}

=== Discouragement Redirection Cube/Weighted Pivot Cube ===
[[File:Portal2 ReflectionCube.png|right|100px]]
{{Main|Discouragement Redirection Cube }}

The '''Discouragement Redirection Cube''' or the '''Weighted Pivot Cube''' was introduced in ''Portal 2''. Its main purpose is to redirect the [[Thermal Discouragement Beam]] to other places or through [[portals]] if necessary. However, the cube has a second use as a Weighted Storage Cube, as it can be used to activate the Heavy-Duty Super Button.{{Clr}}

=== Scalable Cube ===
[[File:Scalable_Cube.png|left|100px]]

The '''Scalable Cube''' is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 Sixense MotionPack DLC|Portal 2 Sixense DLC]] Test Chambers. The only way to scale the Cube is with the [http://www.razerzone.com/minisite/hydra Razer Hydra] Controllers, a feature supported by the [[Handheld Portal Device|Portal Gun]] in the DLC. The size of the Cube changes simultaneously with its mass. The Scalable Cube can be used to build bridges between gaps or to crush [[Turrets]].
{{Clr}}

=== Contraption Cube ===
[[File:Portal_2_-_Contraption_Cube.png|right|100px]]

The '''Contraption Cube''' is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 - Education Version]] [[Puzzle Creator]]. It has adjustable mass, friction and elasticity. The minimum mass is 1kg, maximum mass is 85kg. There are 5 levels for friction: frictionless, slippery, normal, sticky and very sticky. There are also 5 levels for elasticity: no rebound, slight rebound, normal, bouncy, very bouncy. The default feature is 40kg, frictionless and no rebound. Different feature will have different outlook.
{{Clr}}

=== Frankenturret ===
{{Spoiler|[[File:Portal2_MonsterTurret_b.png|left|100px]]}}
{{Main|Turrets#Frankenturret|l1=Turrets}}

{{spoiler|'''Frankenturrets''' are bizarre [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Sentry Turret]]-[[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids created by [[Wheatley]] in order to complete test chambers when he had no test subjects. They are present in the single-player chapters, ''The Itch'' and ''The Part Where He Kills You''.}}

{{spoiler|Frankenturrets do not speak, and instead emits incomprehensible chirping sounds. They act as Wheatley's replacement for Storage Cubes, their only difference being that Frankenturrets will hop around aimlessly while not placed on a button. When picked up by [[Chell]], they retract their legs inside their cubes. If they fall over on their sides or upside down, they will wave their legs trying to get up.}}
{{Clr}}

== Receptacles ==
=== Heavy Duty Super Button ===
[[File:Portal 2 Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button.png|left|100px]]
{{Main|Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|l1=Super Button}}

The '''Heavy Duty Super Button''' is a receptacle that can be triggered by the weights of player characters, [[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]]s, [[#Edgeless Safety Cube|Edgeless Safety Cube]]s, and [[#Frankenturret|Frankenturret]]s. The button was introduced in ''Portal'' and remained prevalent in ''Portal 2''.

An older prototype variant from the 50-70s era of the Super Buttons can be seen in the ''Portal 2'' single-player chapters ''The Fall'' and ''The Reunion''.

=== Weighted Storage Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Weighted Storage Cube Receptacle.png|right|100px]]

'''Weighted Storage Cube Receptacles''', as obvious by its name, serves as a receptacle only for the [[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]]s. This receptacle is only present in the co-op campaign of ''Portal 2''.

The Storage Cube must be placed securely inside the receptacle in order for test subjects to proceed. Although its appearance is similar to the [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Super Button]], it cannot be activated by the weight of test subjects or any other objects being placed upon it.
{{Clr}}

=== Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle.png|left|100px]]
{{Main|Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle}}
The Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle is a receptacle for the [[#Edgeless Safety Cube|Edgeless Safety Cube]], introduced in ''Portal 2''. The Cube must be placed securely inside the receptacle in order for the player to proceed.

Edgeless Safety Cubes and their receptacles only appear as testing elements in the game's cooperative campaign.
{{Clr}}

=== Contraption Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Contraption_Cube_Receptacle.png|right|150px]]

The Contraption Cube Receptacle is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 - Education Version|educational version of Portal 2]]. Even though it is designed for the [[Cube#Contraption Cube|Contraption Cube]], the Receptacle will not recognize the Contraption Cube and won't activate any puzzle elements which are connected with it. Additionally, it appears entirely black in-game, when the model itself has different colors.
