This is your introduction to the weighted companion cube. It will accompany you for the entire chamber, providing any assistance you require. Throughout the test, GLaDOS will make odd remarks about the companion cube, indicating how it is not alive, as if you are very attached to it and insisting that it is going to talk or do things.

As you cross the platforms, you’ll notice the normal exit to the right is no longer there. Proceed to the left instead, and you’ll find an accuracy fling test. You can’t just fling from the top, as that will shoot you out too high. Instead place the portal on the seam between the top two panel layers. Drop the ball through first to make sure it’s accurate, and then fly through yourself. A simple portal on the wall to get up, and it’s off to the exit as normal.
