Achievements

From the Portal Wiki
(Redirected from Achievements (Portal))
Well done. In fact, you did so well, I'm going to note this on your file, in the commendations section. Oh, there's lots of room here. 'Did.... well. ... Enough.'
GLaDOS

This is a complete listing of all achievements available in Portal, Portal: Still Alive, Portal 2, and their mods.

Achievements are sets of challenges or goals (from finding a secret room to finishing a test chamber in a certain time or with a limited number of portals) that give a acknowledgement to the player for this special action while playing the game. When a player obtains an achievement, a HUD notification will be shown on-screen.

Achievements can be completed at any time in the game, as long as cheats are not turned on. However, certain achievements are story-related and can only be unlocked when reaching a certain point in the scenario.

Trivia

  • The "Transmission Received" achievement for Portal was added on March 1, 2010, and began the Portal ARG, eventually leading to the announcement of Portal 2. The update on March 1 also added 26 hidden clock radios to Portal test chambers that delivered coded messages, further hinting toward the announcement.
  • The "Talent Show" achievement for Portal 2 was added on July 7, 2011; completing the achievement would earn you a ticket for the Steam Summer Camp.
  • The "Pit Boss" achievement for Portal 2 won the "Most Original Achievement" award on the Xbox360Achievements.org website, at the 2011 Achievement Awards.
  • The "Narbacular Drop" achievement for Portal 2 is a reference to a game of the same name, which the Portal series is based on.
