Portal 2 is a great game. The levels were hard enough that I couldn't figure them out straight away, but could still noticed the solution after 5-10 minutes. Games like Modern Warfare 3 couldn't hold a candle.
Portal 2 Walkthrough

Return to Aperture for further testing. Our Portal 2 Walkthrough provides a walkthrough for story mode, tips for co-op, and unlockables.
The Surprise
Floor 1
Get into cover behind the light bridge and fire your orange portal at the white wall on the other end of the room. Quickly move into the alcove on the left and fire your blue portal here. Next fire your blue portal at the end of the light bridge and your orange portal in front of the reflection cube dispensers. Press the switch to your right and if the bridge is placed correctly it will bring both cubes down to the main area. Fire another orange portal behind yourself and return to the main area. Grab the two cubes, using your orange portal and light bridge to provide cover from the current. Place one cube under the laser so that it hits the first two nodes. With the second cube align it near the turret so that it explodes. When it is save move the cube to the far right edge and align it with all three of the laser nodes. Fire an orange portal on the left wall to bring the bridge near the door, leading to the elevator.
Floor 2
Drop down to the main floor and place your blue portal on the ceiling above the first reflection cue. Put your orange portal on the ground drop through to grab the first cube. Drop back down and place your blue portal in the small alcove where the laser is shooting from. Place one of the cubes here and reflect the laser into the first node. return to the bottom and place a blue portal above the jump pad. Drop the next cube into the orange portal so that it bounces against the jump pad. When the cube is far enough above the orange portal, place your blue portal on the wall above wall to the right. This will launch the cube next to the second node. Now repeat the same process but instead of sending a cube down, enter the orange portal yourself and slam against the jump platform. When you're far enough above the orange portal place the blue portal on the same wall to reach the node and cube. Place the cube so that it hits the third node and return to the main floor.
Enter the orange portal drop-blue portal jump pad again for a second time, but this time fire the blue portal onto the wall on the right side of the main entrance. This will knock the third reflection cube, placing it near the entrance. Put your blue portal back at the entrance and drop down the orange portal. From here use the cube to destroy the enemy turrets on the other end before pointing the laser's flow to the final node. Return down to the bottom and place your blue portal back above the jump pad. Once again take the jump pad ride one more time, this time firing the blue portal at the far corner just right of the main door. If placed correctly you'll land right near the main door way.
Floor 3
Place your blue portal on the pillar to the right so that it faces all three of the nodes. Return to the main room and place your orange portal on the wall where the laser touches. Arrange the next two reflection cubes so that the lasers enter the orange portal, hitting the nodes on the right and center. With all three nodes in operation, the elevator entrance will open.
Floor 4
Shoot your blue portal on the wall on the right and your orange portal on the panel above. This will drop a box onto the light bridge. However, the power will shut off and the test will end. Follow Wheatley through the new door, but be quick as poison gas will start to flood the area. Head down the catwalk and across the light bridge to the right.
Floor 5
Keep following Wheatley and take cover to avoid the enemies. Sneak behind the three turrets and take them down to clear the area. Place your orange portal against the wall on the right, then turn to the left and fire your blue portal at the pillar through the small hole. Enter through the portal and follow Wheatley along the linier catwalk. You'll eventually come to a lift leading to the next chapter.

Kurtis Seid is a sadomasochist for games. He’s clocked over 200 days in a Final Fantasy entry but isn’t sure if he’s actually a fan of the series. His ideal game would somehow involve the harshest elements of King’s Quest, Team Fortress, River City Ransom, Ogre Battle, and Dark Souls.

Such a great game, the level design shows Valve's creativity. I wish companies like Infinity Ward would take a few hints while making mw3 and its levels. Modern Warfare 3 could use Valve's "touch", just look how great this and Team Fortress 2 is.
Brilliant game. Wish I had bought the first one before I played this one, but it's so good it doesn't matter. Excellent voice acting and brilliant puzzles - keep it up Valve!
i wish there were more videos because i keep reading to make sure where i am and i cant even tell at all 0_o
@ icepop4who: If it's so easy and you don't need a guide, what are you doing here? Hmmmm.... Kind of strikes me as an 'I'm better than you guys statement to me'. The truth seems to be, I got stuck somewhere and needed a little nudge in the right direction.
I think this is a great game. but sometime u have to spend an hour on a single floor in the later levels because it gets a bit hard.but still a very good game
1 Like I just dont understand the point of listing the trophies if you are not showing how to get them step by step? I mean its a guide right?
Hey gamespot...u think ur actually gonna finish the guide or do u guys just not care?
lol this is the easiest puzzle game ever. As long as you're not ADD or something, you don't need a guide. Just take your time with it.
Who writes this stuff? It's "levers", not "leavers"! Portal is the bomb, tho' (GLaDOS made me say that)
I love this phreaking game. Right when I thought it was going to end, it keeps on going! I thought it was more of Portal 1, then it goes nuts! The levels are organic, believable and atmospheric. Look out for my review. Incredible game.
What kind of idiot would actually use a Portal walkthrough? Solving puzzles is literally the only thing to do in this game. It's like paying money to have to read and follow a guide.
Without photos can be as frustrating to understand as some parts of the game. Try the youtube hints if you are really stuck.
Didn't play the first one but am really enjoying this game!! Worth the money if you like brain teasers.
If you liked the first Portal, you will love this one.. it has a good story and about 7hours of pure puzzel thinking. Some stages where way to easy and some took me a while to figure out. I also loved the twists of the game. To all of you that have played the game i only say "Im in space!" It was great fun.. Thinking of buying the game for ps3 aswell..
@Maxxramman ... *gag* there are three words I bet no one on this planet EVER expected to hear in a sentence: "amazing" and "will ferrell." WOW! I'm intrigued by how stupid parts of this game make me feel at times. To help with that I went and bought the first one. STILL have no idea how or why i'm blasting holes in walls just to be tested by this badly auto-tuned android! HOPEFULLY there will be sometime soon in the game where the greater meaning is revealed (I'd settle for the point ; ) Its also a little strange that the character you are supposedly playing as is a female. Hmmm maybe this is how a female feels if she chooses to play a FPS, i.e. CoD. Interesting.
@Kos1c & @XsickGamerX10 - It's more than just a puzzle game. It has a great story behind it and it ties itself with the Half Life Universe. I think it's a great game. It's better to have played the first one before playing the second.
@XsickGamerX10 I didn't know much about this game, and i got it yesterday. The game is a huge puzzle game, it's great fun, just sadly it's not as long. I've already completed it, took about 4-6 hours to do. But still one of those titles worth checking out. An easy 9/10 for me.
There has been a lot of hype about this game so ive looked at some trailers and I just cant see what all the fuss is about and it looks quite boring. So i have preordered LA NOIRE. But please if u have the game tell me what is so good about it
@djball They are hardly holding your hand. It has happened to me that I had no clue where to go due to an obscure portal-friendly surface.
@bigkahunabuger portal 2 does not have a singleplayer section...only a game mode you can play by yourself...that shows gamestpot doesn't have a clue about games.
The achievement for the propulsion gel is "Stranger than Friction", not stranger than fiction, like the amazing movie with will Ferrell.
I would really discourage the use of a walkthrough for Portal 2. Its charm comes (at least partly) from the satisfaction of solving the puzzles, and being told what to do diminishes your experience of the game. I guess using one section if you're really, REALLY, stuck would be okay, but please go back and be sure that you need the help before seeking help.
@illuminatirexx Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, thank you, havent had a laugh like that in ages. wow. just wow. how can someone be so........hmmm whats the right word? stupid? its tame but it will do.
I have Portal 2 and in my opionion it is to easy, I completed it in 7 Hours. The puzzles are good enought but there is only 1 way to solve a puzzle and it is easy to find the solution. The Story is realy great it has some realy good twists in it.
