Locations where you want to fling an object.Tossing a turret or cube at another turret in chamber 16.Using only the first cube in chamber 13 for least portals.Try it from different locations and with different throwing methods to get used to it. If you get the timing right, the cube will begin to fly through the air. Rotate yourself towards the button and up, and while doing so, release the cube. Start facing diagonally away from the button. Grab the cube and stand a little distance away from the button. You can practice this any time you have a cube. Moving can be useful if you need to drop something into a portal that is not quite directly below it, and also to help create more speed while turning. Turning is usually better for having to throw it a distance or upwards.

All you have to do is move or turn, and while in the process, release the cube (or other object) you are holding. While there is no button or key to specifically throw something, the concept can be achieved due to momentum being programmed into the game. The idea is that you want to get a cube (or other object) somewhere without actually going there yourself. Get your hands used to exactly how far you need to move.Īdvanced techniques Cube throwing DescriptionĮasy to try, difficult to master. Know ahead of time (or learn for next time) which way you need to move after you’ve gone through a portal so you don’t have to spend time reorienting yourself.If you discover another method while trying to do a different challenge, consider using it here, even if it uses more portals or steps than your best method. Note that if you are constantly jumping, changing direction will be harder, so you may need to temporarily stop jumping. If you absolutely must walk, jumping constantly will get you there faster.If you need to take more than a few steps to get somewhere, portals may be faster. Portals are the fastest way to travel.This will take a lot of experimentation to get the correct angles, but can be really impressive when you get it. Momentum applied at an angle into a portal can get you a lot further and help you take fewer steps when steps seem necessary. Floor portals are the most useful way to get around without stepping. If you travel straight up through a floor portal, and then shoot that color portal elsewhere, you might not gain a step for landing if you are only traveling a small distance upwards (see No-step movement, below).A step and a hop can get you there in 2 steps. Place one of your first portals right in front of the elevator.Don’t step on objects like cubes (unless absolutely necessary) you’ll rack up steps for no reason.You want to maximize the amount of time that you are on the ground in between jumps, while still only gaining 2 steps each time. Alternating stepping and hopping, if done with the right timing, gets you farther per step on average than normal walking.

If you can shoot a portal while falling where you can’t on solid ground, try it. If you can find a tiny corner of a surface to get a portal on, try it.

Experiment! Explore every possibility.

It’s fun, and gets you places you couldn’t normally get to.

Make your portals as accessible as possible.

It is much easier to sail through this way.

Turn portal funnel on in the options, and look down when falling into floor portals.

You can jump on them, hit pellets with them, or even knock out turrets.

Cameras are seemingly useless, but can really be very helpful.

The game automatically reloads when you die, but not if you don’t die, and not necessarily where you want it to.

Save your game after anything tricky or long, especially in the advanced chambers and challenges.

Not all of the steps listed in the walkthrough are necessary to complete a chamber some parts of a chamber or level can be skipped.
