Portal 2: Hard-Light Surfaces walkthrough

If your skill levels differ: Both bots carry the same kind of portal gun. Pings let you mark spots and time moves without talking, and failing costs little because a destroyed bot is rebuilt within seconds. How to split the roles

1. AtlasBlue on the bridge's wall point plus purple on the left wall extends the bridge across the goo.
2. P-bodyFollow across, then place orange on the bridge wall and go through it to the next platform.
3. AtlasAfter P-body is on the faith plate, a purple portal on the wall below catches P-body on a bridge.
4. P-bodyGo back through the blue portal and hit the pedestal button to drop the ball.
5. AtlasPick up the ball and carry it to the receptacle to open the exit door.

1. AtlasBlue where the bridge meets the wall, the other on the adjacent wall, extending the bridge down the corridor. Do not stand on it yet.
2. P-bodyAt the bridge end, place orange on the left panel, then swap the blue portal for red at the junction and climb up.
3. AtlasThrough the red portal, place blue on the panel to the right; then replace red with purple and follow it to the end.
4. P-bodyOrange on the bridge-struck panel, red on the wall to the right; go through orange to the dual door.

1. AtlasPurple on the panel ahead, then stand on the emitter and shoot purple so the bridge extends under the dispenser.
2. P-bodyHit the pedestal button, then take the blue portal after Atlas.
3. AtlasCatch the ball, walk the bridge and set the ball in the receptacle; the exit door opens.
4. P-bodyCarefully walk past the faith plate to the wall edge, then shoot orange at the bridge-struck panel and red on the ceiling panels.
5. AtlasStand behind the faith plate and walk into it to bounce off the light surface into the exit alcove.

1. AtlasBlue where the bridge meets the wall; P-body steps on the faith plate; purple directly under blue on a lower wall catches P-body.
2. P-bodyWalk through the purple portal, then replace blue with orange, which closes purple and removes the lower bridge.
3. P-bodyAt P-body's apex, shoot through the light bridge to swap purple for red, restoring the lower bridge under P-body.
4. P-bodyLook up at the angled panel above; the red portal is moved there to extend a bridge down to the platform.

1. AtlasBlue goes on the floor next to the up arrow and purple above the faith plate; the plate then drops you on the platform.
2. AtlasStep on the plate and, mid-air, shoot blue at the wall to create a bridge underneath.
3. P-bodyRed goes where Atlas's first blue portal was; take the plate to the platform and walk into purple.
4. AtlasShift blue to the panel at bottom left: the bridge under you vanishes and a new one appears at a right angle.
5. P-bodyRoles reverse: P-body swaps blue for orange and places red to bridge the room for Atlas.

1. AtlasPlace a portal where the vertical light bridge meets the wall and another on the panel beside it to block turrets.
2. P-bodyPut a portal on the clear wall next to you and orange on the panel left of the stairs, then walk into orange.
3. AtlasPurple on the panel right of the next stairs, blocking the right-side turrets.
4. P-bodyRed where the light surface strikes down the corridor blocks the remaining turrets; later a red on the alcove's rightmost panel extends a shield, after moving red to the left panel.
5. AtlasMove purple next to red to form a bridge behind the shield; quickly press the button, step back, then put the ball in the receptacle.

1. AtlasStay behind the glass; purple on the bottom-right panel shields P-body from the turret.
2. P-bodyOrange goes on the ceiling over the faith plate and red on the slanted panel next to the turret; the plate throws you over.
3. AtlasQuickly move purple one panel up to shield P-body; the glass blocks the bullets aimed at you.
4. P-bodyThe pedestal button throws two balls and a cube through the red portals into the turrets; do it again for the next row.
5. AtlasGet off the button, take the cube and set it on the button to keep the panel above open, then portal across to P-body.

1. AtlasWalk through the fizzler to grab the ball from the horizontal dispenser; hold the ball up to the panel without touching the fizzler.
2. P-bodyFire a portal through the grate over the fizzler onto the panel near Atlas, then wedge the ball into the alcove to break the laser.
3. AtlasThe button halts the conveyor. Blue goes on the hard light panel and purple on the beam panel to bounce the balls; then move purple to the slanted panel.
4. BothThrow both switches at once, using the ping tool's timer.
5. BothAtlas portals the panel and P-body fires through the hard light bridge; you both get thrown across to the platform with the exit.
