Once you get past the first few robots, you must start dropping the boxes on the robots heads so that they fall over. In the little place that you find the first two boxes, crouch and walk behind where the boxes were. You will find a little room with odd music playing and graffiti on the walls that says things such as "The cake is a liar". There also seems to be an Xbox 360 with a pot inside of it. The Xbox 360 is overheating and boiling the water. Box head pictures: ------------------ On the level where you get the companion cube after you run past the energy balls and are in the room with the three elevators, there are two doors leading to a catcher, and a platform that is pushed out of the wall. Walk up to the platform that is pushed out. Crouch behind it and walk through the opening. On the left hand side are a group of pictures of people with boxes for heads and hearts around them. Alternate title screen: ----------------------- Successfully complete the game to see the cake title screen. Using cheats and unlocking achievements: ---------------------------------------- There are achievements that you can get for completing certain tasks, however if the sv_cheats code is enabled the achievements are disabled. There is a way around this. There are a few command strings that can be bind to keys which allow you to enable or disable God mode when desired, get all equipment such as weapons, plus the better portal gun. To do this, use the bind [key] "sv_cheats 1; wait; god; wait; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0" console command. For God mode use the Bind [key] "sv_cheats 1; wait; Impulse 101; wait; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0" console command. Cake Recipe: ------------ 1 (18.25 oz) package chocolate cake mix 1 can prepared coconut frosting 3/4 cups vegetable oil 4 large eggs 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened 2/3 cups granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all purpose flour 2/3 cups cocoa 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cups water 1 to 2 (6 oz each) vanilla frosting Completing Chamber 18 easier: ----------------------------- At the end of the advanced map for Chamber 18, you will have the same raised platforms as you did in the normal one except now after you leave the lower one, it falls into the toxic water. This forces you to be more precise with your portal jumps. However, you can get past this easily. Do the platform jumping as usual, but if you miss, just land on the platform you came out of. You should be able to fire an opposite color portal at the wall where you entered this area, allowing you to go back to the start. All the platforms rise again, and the portal is still where you left it. You can now fall into the pit again and be able to portal jump to the next ledge. This take longer but does not require precise timing. Still Alive song: ----------------- Listen to the radio in the room you start out in. If the music sounds familiar, it is because the song is an up-tempo version of the "Still Alive". Spawn huge error text: ---------------------- Enter the console then type npc_create npc_zombine or bind [key] "sv_cheats 1; wait; npc_create npc_zombine; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0". Press the bound key if you do not want to get kicked from the server (it will not allow you to earn achievements, etc.) Hint: ----- Submitted by: beastlykyle182 If you get to the end of the game one of the little robots that come out of that robot will say the cake recipe. Getting Upgraded Portal Gun Early In Game: ------------------------------------------ Open the developers console by pressing the ` button, and type in "upgrade_portalgun". This will give you the portal gun and allow the use of the blue and orange portals. Portal "mirror": ---------------- You will need the fully upgraded Portal Gun for this trick. Enable the sv_portal_placement_never_fail 1 and sv_portal_placement_never_bump 1 codes. Place a portal on a flat surface and the second one on top of the first one. The second will cover the first and you will be looking at yourself as if in a mirror. Fun with turrets: ----------------- You can pick them up, toss them around, make them fall indefinitely through two portals, drop a cube on them, etc. Also try the following. Use the incandescent particle field in front of the exit. The computer voice said before that all objects other than yourself and the portal gun will be destroyed. Pick up a turret and toss it into the energy field. The turret will say "ayayayay" as if being electrocuted and disintegrate.

The cake - For real!!: ---------------------- Submitted by: Teddy A pretty funny glitch, this. Type "noclip" into the console window and you will be able to go through walls and fly everywhere. When you fight GLAdos (the boss) fly around until you spot a basement area with loads of shelves all with metal spheres on them, and the companion cube next to a table with the cake on. Now turn "noclip" off by typing it in the console again and you can walk around witnessing the ACTUAL CAKE! New Title Screen: ----------------- When you beat Portal, you will get a new title screen for the game, consisting of a birthday cake sitting atop a table. Companion radio: ---------------- Start the game and wait for the voice to stop talking. Before you go through the first portal, take the radio on your table. Carry it with you until you get to the first elevator. Carry it through the particle field and it should get destroyed. Play until chamber four as usual. In chamber four, a radio should be dropped down through the tube with the box. It will end up lying in the pit. * Leave it in that chamber, and do not destroy it. * Play through chamber five for a strange surprise. * Activate the two buttons and the door should open as normal. * The radio will be sitting in the center of the floor in the next chamber.
