10 More Secret Video Game Shortcuts You DEFINITELY Missed

Portal is one of the beloved games in Valve's pantheon of games. As Chell, players use the portal gun to complete numerous objectives given by GLaDOS. These levels test your puzzle-solving skills and are the reason why the game is so memorable.

Though inventive and addicting, these puzzles can also be very difficult.

Thankfully, one way to circumvent these levels is by using the game's physics. By combining portals as well as Chell's momentum, players can propel themselves in specific directions. One great example of this feature is in Test Chamber 14 where you have to complete a series of objectives while avoiding stage hazards.

But if players are feeling a bit impatient, this area can be bypassed entirely.

If Chell is on top of a platform, she can place a portal below while placing another one near the chamber's exit. By jumping off the elevated position and into the first portal, she can propel herself to the other side and skip the level.

The use of the game's physics engine is not just exclusive to Test Chamber 14 and can be utilized in other levels. Mastering these mechanics is crucial to surviving Portal.
