Walkthrough

• Proceed to the spotlight in the dark room, where GLaDOS gives you the surprise. Afterwards just walk straight.
• Drop down to the test chamber and stay behind the Hard Light Bridge. Place a portal on the wall on the opposite side and another one below you.
• Once you've entered the portal place a portal at the ceiling where the Bridge ends.
• Place the other portal in the floor on the left, so the Bridge prevents the two Discouragement Redirection cubes from colliding in the air.
• Press the button and make sure that the two cubes do not get destroyed in the goo.
• Place a portal on the wall behind the glass wall and the other one on the wall behind you and enter the portal.
• Place the portal under one of the cubes, so that the cube enters the portal and fall near you. Then repeat.
• Turn to face the Thermal Discouragement Beam and place a portal on a wall near the Beam, so that you can take the two cubes safely near the beam.
• When you have the cubes near the beam, place one of them so the beam goes through two of the receptors.
• Take the other cube and use the beam coming from the first cube to destroy the turret on the other side of the room.
• Place the cube behind second receptor and aim it through the third one and the receptor in the wall to open the door.
• Place a portal in the ceiling in front of the Bridge and go stand near the exit.
• Place the other portal on the wall on the left side and use the bridge to get to the Chamberlock.
