room will be a room with and energy ball. 

Stand right in front of the force field that is in front of the platform. Now
shoot a blue portal above the platform and an orange one to the right of it
where the black mark is. As soon as the energy ball goes through the portal,
you need to go through the force field. Shoot a blue portal at the wall where
the energy ball will move to and the orange portal on the ceiling with the red
glow. If done correctly, the energy ball will go into the energy ball receiver
and the platform should be lowered. Get on it and to the next room.

This is similar to the first room, but you can't shoot a portal right below
you. Shoot a blue portal up at the indented wall behind you. Go through the
door on the right and up the stairs. Get to the edge of the pit and shoot an
orange portal onto the floor and jump in. You will be lauched forward, but that
isn't enough to get over the wall, so quickly shoot an orange portal at the
floor where you are going to land and this time you will make it over. Turn
left and look up. Just do the same thing and you will be over on the other
side. Shoot a blue portal on black mark to the left of the angled wall and an

platforms going in the opposite direction of which you are suppose to go.
Standing in the doorway, shoot a blue portal to the wall in front of you. Turn
around and shoot an orange portal anywhere. When you see a platform through
the orange portal, go through it. Now you have to do the same thing around the
other corner and you will be in another room.

As you enter, a platform will rise. Get on it and there will be a red button.
Before you press it, shoot a blue portal to the room at the opposite corner and
an orange portal right behind the red button in your current room. Go through
the portal and shoot a blue portal right behind the red button in this room.

down. Continuing forward will be another turrent. Shoot a portal anywhere not
near you and the other right below the turret to take it down. Keep going and
there will be a turret to your left. Portal behind it and knock it down or you
can just avoid it by portaling to the other side. As you continue, there will
be two cubes and a turret behind a glass window. If you go up the the window,
crouch and look up you can see a red X on the ceiling. Shoot a blue portal
there and the orange on a wall. Pick up a cube and drop it through the portal
to knock down the turret. On the other side is another turret. You do the same
thing with the other cube to knock it down. There will be more turrets, but you
can drop cubes onto them to down it down. There won't be a X on the ceiling so
you will have to aim it yourself. In the room with the red button, knock down
all three of them and put a cube on the button to open the door. Don't stand in
front of the door since there is another turret behind it. Grab a cube and
crouch down so you won't get hit by the turret. Shoot a portal above the
turret and throw a cube through it to knock it down. On the right side is a
fench. Portal to the other side. Pick up the turret and bring it to the force
field to vaporize it and get into the elevator.



---Test Chamber 17---

use it to get up the steps. Once you are up, pick up the companion cube and go
through the narrow space with the cube in front to protect you from the energy
ball. Go through the other narrow space, but you have to walk backwards so the
cube can protect you. Just make sure an energy ball hasn't been shot before you
go through it. Shoot an orange portal to the angled wall in front of the ball
receiver. Turn around and shoot a blue portal at the black mark on the wall. Go
forward, drop down, and into a dark room. Use the companion cube to deflect the
energy ball into the receiver. No go into the room with the red button. Put the
companion cube on the red button in the back of the room. Now shoot a blue
portal onto the indented wall and go all the way back to the narrow space area
to get the last energy ball. Shoot an orange portal onto the wall with the
black mark and run back to the red button. Stand on the red button, but crouch
and as far to the side as possible so you don't get hit by the energy ball.

companion and get onto the platforms. Jump across all the platforms and follow
the pathway. Put the companion cube on the red button. Go through the opened
door and press the button. Quickly get your companion cube and throw it into
the fire. Now the door behind you will opened leading to the elevator.

other side and another for you to go through. To your left or right is another
platform you need to get to. Shoot a blue portal near the middle on the left
side of the ceiling. Go forward to the edge and shoot an orange portal onto the
wall in front of you, but put it lower so that you can jump into it. To the
right is another platform. Shoot a blue portal to the ceiling above it and jump
back down to the previous platform and into the orange portal. To get to the
next one, shoot a blue portal at the indented wall and an orange right below
you. Now walk to the edge and look down. Shoot an orange portal down there and
jump into it. You will be launched into a platform with a red button. Go
forward and into a room with a small red button. Press it and a wall will move
forward. Go through it to a room with turrets.

To get rid of the turrets Use the energy ball. Shoot an orange portal at where
their laser is at and a blue one at any of the four black marks on the wall.

this you need to be quick. From where you came in, turn left and get into the
corner. Shoot an orange portal at the indented wall in front of the receiver
and a blue one on any of the four black marks on the wall. From the corner look
up and the red button will be up on a pillar. You need to shoot a blue portal
at the wall in front of it and an orange one right behind you, BUT you do this
only after the energy ball comes out from the orange portal. Go through the
orange portal and as you fall, keep pressing E so you can pess the button. Once
you get the ball in, the platform will be moving. Get on it and get to the
other side. You won't be able to get to the top part where the cubes are. You
need to get to the bottom part with the red button. When you press it. The wall
from where you came from will move forward. Once it is up, shoot a blue portal
at it. Turn around and shoot an orange portal on either sides of the wall and
go through. You won't be launched far, but quickly turn right and jump off
while shooting an orange portal at the floor. This time you will be launched to
the area with the cube. Now go to the area below it and press the button again.
Get to the other side and back to the area with the big red button and place
the cube there. Go through the door to the next area.

Go forward and shoot a blue portal at the lowest platform in the sea of toxic
waste. Turn left and shoot an orange portal all the way down at the floor. You
will be launched up high enough to see the higer platforms. Shoot an orange
portal at that one. Once you go through the blue and out the orange, shoot a
blue portal at the next platform and an orange at the next higher one. Once
you are on your fourth platform, look for an angled indented wall. Shoot a blue
portal there and shoot an orange one at the second platform and jump into it.

---Test Chamber 19---
Go forward and turn right. There will be two pieces of the floor at an angle.
Shoot a blue portal on the on one below the thing that creates the balls and
an orange on on the other one. Once the energy ball comes out, shoot an orange
portal somewhere else so the ball can get into the receiver. Get on to the
moving platform. Once it makes a right right, there will be a opening in the
wall. Press the red button and the door will open, but only for a short time.
Shoot a blue portal to the other side of it and an orange one right in front of
you. When you see the platform through the portal, go through the portal. Once

right. Get it to go somewhere else by shooting a portal at the wall with the
black mark. It will make another right turn. There will be a wall in front of
you. Shoot a blue portal at the wall and an orange to the left side, but behind
the wall. As the platform approches the wall, slowly go into the portal, but
not completely through. Wait until you can see the platform and go all the way
through. Now it will make a left turn toward a pit of fire. As you approach the
fire, crouch down and look at the wall in front of you. Shoot a blue portal
there and an orange to your left or right. Make sure the orange portal is below
you so you can jump into it. Now turn around and shoot a blue portal all the

portal to the left above the fence and go through it. Now shoot a blue portal
in front of the broken walk way and an orange on the floor and jump into it. Go
up the stairs and into the tube that will carry you to some place. Once you
stop moving, go through the hole. You will be in one of the earlier test
chambers so you should know how to get through it. Get to the elevator hole and
jump down. Look at the fence and shoot a portal at the cramp little area and
the other portal at where you landed. Get out from under there and get to the
machine pillars things that are moving up and down. Get on the one that moves
the highest and shoot a blue portal on the top of the thing you were under. Get
back under there and shoot an orange portal and jump up out of there. Find a
red picture of a person and arrow and get there by going on the pump thing.
Shoot a portal through the fence and get to the other side.Now you will be on
top of a clear tube. Look up and shoot a portal where you can and jump through
the other. Keep moving forward and you will be in a room with five pumps going
up and down. Get on the one on the lower right or left. Shoot a blue portal to
the ceiling right above it and another at the wall right above the broken
ladder. Keep moving and you will see two more pumps going up and down. Look
left and shoot a portal at the ceiling and the other right above the pump that
is going up and down. Go look for a red drawing with a arrow pointing up.

Go up to the door with all the barrels in front of it. When a door opens, there
will be a turret behind it. Shoot a blue portal under it as soon as you can.
The next door that will open is the one to the right of it and then the last
one will be opened as well. The room that was opened last has a claw hanging
down from it. Look up and try too shoot a portal at where you can and get
there. There will be two turrets on the other side of the fence. There is only
one that is active so knock it down if you want, but don't have to. Shoot a
portal right above the tube and get on top of it. Jump across onto the walk way
and go towards the light. Crawl into the duct and below you is a turret. Jump
down on it and knock it over. Move forward and a the wall will open. Move

orange portal in front of the window and get the turret to destroy the window.
Go through the window, turn right, and look up. You will need to the turret to
destroy the tube. Get an orange portal up on the wall in front of the tube
behind all the pillars. Get the turret to lock onto you and when the missile
gets through th orange portal, you must shoot a blue portal behind you and then
arrange the height of the orange portal so that when the missile goes through,
it can hit the tube. Pick up the cube and carry it to the went and use it to
help you get into it. Crawl through the went and there will be a fan. You have
to shoot a portal between the blades and onto a wall and go through. Getting
through the sewers will be easy and when you hit a dead end, look up and shoot
a portal through. Once you are through, you will be in sewage. Shoot a portal
up and once you are up, a bunch of turrets will appear. Jump back into the
sewage so they can't hit you. Find which crevice they are in and portal to them
and knock them down. Once they are all gone, get into the highest crevice.
Right across from it is an angled wall. Shoot a blue porta at it and an orange
one at the floor and jump in. When you are airborn, shoot a blue one at the
angled wall in front of you. As long as you get a portal onto that one, just
shoot an orange portal anywhere and jump in. As soon as you jump in, you will
be falling again, so shoot an orange portal below you and you will be launched
across to the next area. As you move forward, two turrets will be brought down.
Shoot a portal under them to knock them over. Shoot an orange portal at where
the turrets were and head back to the edge of the area. Shoot a blue portal
all the way down to the floor and jump into it. Make sure you don't hit the
angled wall. You will be launched up into the next area where you have to walk
across a long walk way.

Navigate your way around the place and you will find a door that you can open
and through it is a force field. Move up to the computer. After it talks for a
while something will drop. Pick it up and bring it to the furnace which is
closed. Shoot a blue portal right next to it and an orange portal to the left
of where you came in. Press the red button and the furnace will open so throw
the thing into it. Now go 90 degrees right of the entrance and set up the two
portals. One is at ground level and the other should be around the same height
as the computer. Now wait for the missile turret to come out. Let it lock onto
you and launch the  missile through the portal. You might have to adjust the
top portal a bit to the left or right so the missile will shit the computer. If
the computer is hit, one of the round core things will drop out. Get it and
dump it into the furnace. Repeat this for three more times and you beat the
game.

Enjoy the ending and song. What you can do now is try to get all the
achievements or go to the advanced and challenge maps.

OH YEAH! Enjoy your cake.
