• Pneumatic Diversity Vent

Hazards

• Falling to Death

Walkthrough

• After the cutscene and after Nigel opens the door, walk out of the room you're in.
• Walk to your right to see the room Chell wakes up in at the start of Portal 2. Nigel will soon fold it into the room though, akin to F-Stop.
• Walk out of the room, and then to your left. Follow the corridor until you reach the elevator.
• Press the button, then jump down the open elevator shaft.
• Jump down to the plank to your left, then turn around and jump over the gap, to the catwalk.
• Follow the catwalk to the Excursion Funnel, then jump into it.
• Fall down into the half-broken test chamber below where the funnel ends.
• Grab the Weighted Storage Cube and place it on the button.
• Walk across the Hard Light Bridge that has just activated.
• Push the Pedestal Button, and walk through the portal, into another Excursion Funnel.
• Fall down where it ends.
• Fling the Turrets off of the platform, then take the Aerial Faith Plate.
• Redirect the Thermal Discouragement Beam to its receptacle and the relays with the Discouragement Redirection Cubes.
• Grab the Paint Gun. The Pneumatic Diversity Vent will take you to the next chamber.
