Shoot a portal next to your friends portals and the other one on the ceiling facing one of your friends portals. Fall through your portal and when you go through one of your friends portals, you'll be facing the ceiling again. Then you must shoot the portal on the ceiling to the place where you are about to go. Then wait for a while as you are falling through the portals and the achievement will appear. Alternatively. in Hub, let your friend place portals next to eachother on the 2 by 2 floor. Go through friend's portals and keep poping to friend's portals. While you are in mid-air, places portals where friend's portals placed on. Can also be done using a reversible Excursion Funnel, just like Air Show.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Narbacular Drop|Easy

}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Party of Three|Easy
| In the final area of the excursion funnel section of co-op mode, you will be outside the official testing track. In one of the many times you and your partner are floating through a funnel, if you look straight to your left, (on the same wall where your partner shoots Hard Light Bridges) you will see a portal conductive surface that you would not normally pay attention to. Shoot a portal there so that the funnel is coming out of it and you float through the funnel. If you look to your left you will see a companion cube behind doors that will open. You will then hit a spike wall and die, so don't try this while attempting Still Alive. To restart, use {{code|changelevel mp_coop_tbeam_end}}.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Final Transmission|Medium
| When at the switch near the exit of [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6|Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6]], hit the switch and wait for all the trash to fall. Retrieve the radio from wherever it landed and go back to the switch. On the left wall at the opposite end of the chamber, there will be a portal-able surface; remember where this is. Portal back to the start of the chamber with the radio. Place a portal on the portalable-surface mentioned earlier and the other portal on the portalable surface the Aerial Faith Plates will throw you into, jump on the Aerial Faith Plates, and you will fly into one of Rattman's Dens—taking the radio in here will get you this achievement. This achievement is a direct follow-up to the ''Transmission Received'' achievement from the first game.

}}

| There are two sets of three {{W|vitrification|vitrified}} doors in Chapter 6.

}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Schrodinger's Catch|Medium
| On [[Portal 2 Chapter 6 Enrichment Sphere 3|Chapter 6, Enrichment Sphere 3]] save the game before dropping [[Repulsion Gel]] on the cube. Release the gel and try and catch the cube; if it hits the ground, load the earlier save. An alternate method of obtaining this achievement is to drop a little bit of Repulsion Gel on the cube, and then before it breaks out of the glass, drop water on it to stop the bouncing. Simply walk up to the cube and pick it up without touching the ground to get the achievement.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Triple Crown|Medium
| For this achievement you need to complete 3 of the 8 stages of the Course 2 in under 60 seconds. You do not need to do them in a row or in any specific order. Stages 1, 2 and 4 are very easy to complete within that time. Make a plan with your partner on who does what on the stages and practice the stages you and your partner find easy. Then make your attempt on the achievement.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Iron Grip|Medium
| In the area within this test that gives this achievement its difficulty, timing is everything. Make sure you and your partner know what you're doing before attempting this. If you lose one box, have the host (Atlas) type {{code|changelevel mp_coop_multifling_1}}in the developer console to reload the map.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Talent Show|Medium
| Self-explanatory, but make sure you and your partner know what you're doing. If you mess up, have the host (Atlas) reload the map by typing {{code|changelevel mp_coop_paint_red_racer}} in the developer console.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Overclocker|Hard
| Self-explanatory. Keep practicing [[Portal 2 Chapter 3 Test Chamber 10|the puzzle]] until you are confident at the sequence of puzzle elements and how to maneuver quickly to each one. You can do this in [[Test Chambers#Challenge modes|Challenge Mode]] for easy restarts (and to be on the leaderboard), or use {{code|changelevel sp_a2_ricochet}}.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Smash TV|Hard
| In these test chambers in chapter 8, Wheatley's TV monitors are able to be smashed in the following ways:
 
* '''Test Chamber 1''': Lift up a box using the funnel (make sure you are on the lower section) and, using its now gained height, fling it at Wheatley.
* '''Test Chamber 2''': Do basically the same thing from Test Chamber 1.
* '''Test Chamber 3''': The same as Test Chambers 1 and 2, but make sure you are in the first section of the chamber.
* '''Test Chamber 4''': Pick up the turret behind the button and aim it at Wheatley. It will not shoot until you let go, setting it upright.
* '''Test Chamber 5''': There are two monitors in this chamber. They both are smashed by lifting a box in a funnel and flinging it, but the exit portals are in two different locations. The first is on the wall in which the funnel is being projected on, around the center (This will take experimentation.) The second is on the very right of the angled surface that you go through on your way to the exit.
* '''Test Chamber 6''': Launch yourself on the Aerial Faith Plate.
* '''Test Chamber 11''': Burn him with the Discouragement beam and the Redirection cube. you will need to use the box to get the beam on a portal conductive surface, then use portals to get the beam to hit Wheatley.
* '''Test Chamber 12''': When you are in the place where you would normally use the cube to open the door, burn the monitor.
* '''Test Chamber 15''': Do the same thing as Test Chambers 1, 2, and 3.
* '''Test Chamber 16''': (Tip: this is extremely hard to get in one try. Save at every point noted.) Do the test normally, however at the part where you coat turrets in [[Repulsion Gel]] (save before this) You must only coat '''two''' of the turrets, leaving one alive. (save now as well) Then, using one of the portal surfaces on each side of the turret platform, jump on the platform while pressing the crouch button to avoid bouncing on gel. Grab the one remaining turret, and use it to shoot Wheatley and earn the achievement.
 
There is still one more monitor in the penultimate map [[Portal 2 Chapter 9 Morton's Fork|Morton's Fork]], but it does not count as one in this achievement. You have to destroy '''all the 11 monitors above''' to unlock the achievement. While Wheatley is informing you of your death option, place one portal underneath the Pneumatic Diversity Vent where the bombs come out. Put the other portal on the wall to your left facing Wheatley's TV. When you press the button, the bombs should fly through and destroy the TV, causing Wheatley to immediately stop talking ("All right, I'll take that as a no, then.") and leave.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Portal Conservation Society|Hard
| This achievement takes place on [[Portal 2 Co-op Course 3 Chamber 3]], and is possible to obtain with only one set of portals. Place one portal at the receiving end of the Hard Light Bridge, then place the other portal on a nearby wall. Enter the portal on the wall and walk over to the bridge emitter. Move on the emitter so that you can see the white surface of the overhead panels, then fire a portal so that the Hard Light Bridge runs under the Vital Apparatus Vent. Press the button in the center of the wall by the Light Bridge and have your partner catch the ball that drops out of the vent. Place the ball on the receptacle and proceed into the next part of the chamber. Fire a portal at the receiving end of the Hard Light Bridge, then line up the second portal on the ceiling so that using the Aerial Faith Plate bounces you off the vertical light bridge and into the exit area. To reset, use {{code|changelevel mp_coop_catapult_wall_intro}}.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Still Alive|Very Hard
| Get through the excursion funnels course in one run... with no deaths. Watch out for test chambers:
* '''3''' Voice chat, the timer, and a clear understanding of the course/practice are highly recommended.
* '''6''' Make sure you do not make a very common mistake. Do not go into the spikes at the end of the excursion funnel/practice.
* '''8''' This is a trust test so do not fool around. It's easy if you try/practice.
* '''9''' Do not shoot the wrong portal whether you are doing the Hard Light shields or the funnels... practice. Also, don't try to get Party of Three (see above).
 
Practice on all of these stages! That cannot be stressed enough! If you mess up, you can save a little bit of time by having the host type {{code|changelevel mp_coop_tbeam_redirect}} in the developer console to reload the first map instead of going back to the hub.
}}
{{Show achievement|Portal 2|Professor Portal|N/A
| Find random partners online, and immediately leave the game if you do not see the opening film. When you find a beginner, exit the game, friend them, and invite them. This will take a long time depending on how lucky you are. Alternatively, this achievement can be very easy if you already have friends on Steam who have ''Portal 2'', but haven't done co-op mode yet.
