File:Portal 2 Co-op Course 3 Chamber 8

This is the twenty-third level in Co-op mode of Portal 2 and the eighth level in the course. The chamber requires advanced knowledge the Hard Light Bridges, timing skills and Flinging. Falling to one's death is present as the primary hazard.

Summary

This level consists of three rooms taking place outside the official test chambers. The first room isn't much of a challenge to figure out, retrieve the Edgeless Safety Cube and place it in the small space next to the door. In the second room the players must utilize the Hard Light Bridge twice for the Safety Cube and that requires some timing skills as well as thinking about how the Light Bridge could be used there. The final room is not obvious at first glance. The spaceous room hides the correct place for the Light Bridge placement well. Solving the room requires the players to use the Light Bridge along with Flinging technique.

6	Walk to the left to the activation button and put a button on the wall on the right. Put the other portal on the pillar above the Emancipation Grill (the one further away from you).	Go through the Emancipation Grill and shoot a portal on the pillar on the right. Place the other portal on the pillar straight above yourself (nearest to the transportation tube).
7	Press the activation button and turn to face the pillar on the ceiling. As soon as one of the Safety Cubes hits the vertical Hard Light Bridge going through your portal, place the portal from the ceiling pillar to the pillar right next to you. Wait for the Safety Cube to roll on the Light Bridge next to the button and take it to the Discouragement Beam near the door.
8		As soon as your partner has the Safety Cube you can head for the door near the Discouragement Beam.
9	Proceed through the door to the next one with the two Circuit Breakers. Activate the Breakers simultaneously (the use of Timer Ping is recommended) to open the door and gain access to the next room.
10	Go along the catwalk to the left and shoot a portal on the wall where the Light Bridge ends and put the other portal then look at the pillar further away where you are facing. Put the other portal up to the pillar, so that the Light Bridge goes across the big area. Go through the portal and walk until you are on top of the second platform.
11		Go through the portal on the left and stop above the first platform. Fire a portal to the platform and put the second portal on the angled surface of the pillar on the left of the final door.
