Test Chamber 1
Lift a box using the funnel. Note: Make sure you are on the lower section. Using its now gained height, throw it at Wheatley.
Test Chamber 2
Same as Test Chamber 1.
Test Chamber 3
Same as Test Chambers 1 and 2, but make sure you are in the first section of the chamber.
Test Chamber 4
Pick up the turret behind the button and aim it at Wheatley. It will not shoot until released, setting it upright.
Test Chamber 5
There are two monitors in this chamber. Both can be smashed by lifting a box in a funnel and throwing it, however the exit portals are in two different locations. The monitor first is on the wall in which the funnel is being projected on, around the center. This will require some experimentation to get. The second monitor is on the very right of the angled surface that you go through on your way to the exit.
Test Chamber 6
Launch yourself on the Aerial Faith Plate.
Test Chamber 11
Burn him with the Discouragement beam and the Redirection cube. You will need to use the box to get the beam on a Portal conductive surface, then use portals to get the beam to hit Wheatley.
Test Chamber 12
When you are where you would normally use the cube to open the door, burn the monitor.
Test Chamber 15
Do the same thing as Test Chambers 1, 2, and 3.
Test Chamber 16
Note: This will require several attempts. Do the test normally. Save the game before the part where you coat turrets in Repulsion Gel. Only coat two of the turrets, leaving one alive. Save the game again. Using one of the portal surfaces on each side of the turret platform, jump on the platform while pressing [Crouch] to avoid bouncing on gel. Grab the remaining turret and use it to shoot Wheatley. Consider going behind the black strip of wall in front of the turret after you bounce the other two. Wait for him to begin shutting down then run out and grab him. By doing this, you can get him during the time required to close himself and re-open.
How to Get The Co-Op Action "Hugs"
To get the co-op action "Hugs," head to the last level of the Hard Light Chamber (just before you insert the disk) where you must launch each other in the air and collide. Pull this off and the robots will hug.
Lyrics to End Song "Want You Gone"
Want You Gone (Jonathan Coulton)
Well here we are again, It’s always such a pleasure, Remember when you tried to kill me twice? Oh, how we laughed and laughed, Except I wasn’t laughing, Under the circumstances I’ve been shockingly nice.
You want your freedom take it, That’s what I’m counting on, I used to want you dead but, Now I only want you gone.
She was a lot like you, (Maybe not quite as heavy), Now little Caroline is in here too. One day they woke me up, So I could live forever, It’s such a shame the same will never happen to you.
You’ve got your short, sad life left, That’s what I’m counting on, I’ll let you get right to it, Now I only want you gone.
Goodbye, my only friend, Oh, did you think I meant you? That would be funny if it weren’t so sad, Well you have been replaced, I don’t need anyone now, When I delete you maybe I’ll stop feeling so bad.
Go make some new disaster, That’s what I’m counting on, You’re someone else’s problem, Now I only want you gone, Now I only want you gone, Now I only want you gone.
Secret Room in Chamber 17
As you enter Test Chamber 17 in Chapter 3, look at the black wall high up to the left. There's a retracted plate there and you can portal the lightbridge to get over to it. Behind the retracted plate lies a mysterious, secret room filled with cups. There's also some art and a poem on the wall.
See Peabody (the Co-op Robot) in Single Player
As your progress through Wheatley's tests in Chapter 2, on test 15, zoom into the area where he is "making" an exit for you. By the door you can see Peabody become startled and run through the exit door.
There is a turret inside a ventilation grate just past the elevator in Test Chamber 16. Jump over it, get the Refraction Cube, then use the laser to destroy that turret to open the grate. Enter the new area to find four turrets singing a song.
