Goodbye, creepy test chambers! Hello, creepy back rooms! Things are really falling apart back here, if the staircase is any indication.
What do I do?
Do you really need to use stairs to get around?
Hmm...
Remember, the walls might not look as clean as usual, but you can still create portals on them.
Help me out.
Use a portal to reach the top of the stairs, then press E to open the door you find there.
Some sturdier stairs, and a door on the other side of a chain-link door. It's padlocked, too. Hmm.
Hmm indeed! Help me out.
You might not be able to squeeze through the holes, but your portals can.
Create one next to the door, then make another in a spot you can reach. Remember to press E to open the door.
