I found a place to get this achievement a couple tests sooner:

- Single Player
- Chapter 1
- Test Chamber 4

This test begins with some smooth jazz to calm you down.

You'll walk straight onto the button you're going to be aiming for (with the Orange portal on your right.) Straight ahead of you is a cube that is released from a cage. Place your Blue portal directly under the cage. The cube's momentum will launch it out of the Orange portal and should land right on the button.

Edit: Video removed as it is no longer available on YouTube.

Yep, This is also how i got mine. If you don't get it right off the bat, you can just make it loop to gain some momentum and then remove the portal and it will fling right on the button.

No idea why you have negative votes. This is the best solution here.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure it doesn't help that the video I used got removed. People love their videos...

Just make sure you rush into the chamber once it opens. Move towards the pit where the cube will fall into, aim blue portal in pit. Should work first time, did for me. Thanks Finknuts for posting this, was going nuts doing this.

The trick worked perfectly, but didn't get me the achievement unfortunately.

Just got it, had to check if this place was being mentioned among the guides.
Nice to get it such early, I first stared at the achievement with a lump inside of my neck.

So I did this today and after failing to get to the position in time before the drop I discovered it's totally possible to do without the drop (though perhaps a tad harder).
Simply put one portal on the wall across the button, use the 2nd to bring the box up. With it now sitting a couple feet from the button just keep putting the 2nd portal under it moving closer and closer to the button until it lands. You gotta be quick, but if you want to try it this way instead of restarting the level, it's an option.

Chapter 2: The Cold Boot. Test Chamber 6.

When you make your way to the button, press the button once so GLaDOS releases the garbage. Now across from the button where the angled platforms are, shoot a portal on the RIGHT one. Now above the button to your left shoot another portal. Now press the button and GLaDOS will release a cube and the cube will land on the button without you touching it.

To go directly to this level load up Cold Boot - Trust Fling in challenge mode. All three achievements for Chapter 2 test chamber 6 can be achieved this way.

Load up Chapter 2 and get to Chamber 6. Use the Arial Faith Plate to get to the platform with the exit. Place a portal on the Panel which you go into first with being launched. Then place a portal over the button.

Chapter 2 Chamber 6. When you get to the button to release a cube when you first press it glados will drop a load of crap out of it including a radio and a turret required for these trophies-

Portal 2PturretdactylThe Pturretdactyl trophy in Portal 2 worth 26 pointsUse an Aerial Faith Plate to launch a turret

Portal 2Final TransmissionThe Final Transmission trophy in Portal 2 worth 27 pointsFind the hidden signal in one of the Rat Man's dens


so do those trophies first!

Now that you've gotten those two out of the way put your first portal on the first light grey slope and the other on the ceiling above the button that activates the door. You've now moved cube to button without touching it! Trophy unlocked

You can do this as early as the very first test chamber. When you get in the room, do not pick up the box - run into it until you push it onto the button. :)

Alternatively, Maka's guide has a wonderful video tutorial for test chamber 6 of chapter 2.

This can be done in Chapter 2, GLaDOS Test Chamber 06. When you push the button at the end of the level, garbage will fly towards you which you can ignore. Ensure your blue portal is setup as shown, then shoot a new yellow portal on the white ceiling above the button. Next, push the garbage release button with . A cube will drop and begin to jump on the faith plates which will go through the portals and in-turn drop onto the button without you having to touch the cube.

Easy to do in Chapter 2 in Challenge Room 6. Get to the button on the platform on the other side. Shoot the tilted plate to create a portal. Place another portal above the large button. Now press the button and the cube will fly out of the pipe along the air panels through the portals and land directly on the big button.
