20 - Final Transmission

Final Transmission

20G Bronze Trophy Icon

In Test Chamber 6, the trash released on the first button press contains a working radio. The same arrangement of portals used to send the box to the button will also save the radio. The Rat Man's hidden den is above the slanted panels, on the side nearest the door. Going inside with the radio will trigger the transmission and unlock the achievement/trophy.

24 - Schrodinger's Catch

Schrodinger's Catch

Catch a blue-painted box before it touches the ground

20G Bronze Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory. As the box's path is random and can cause a significantly decreased frame rate as it bounces wildly inside its cage, this may take multiple attempts.

25 - Ship Overboard

Ship Overboard

Discover the missing experiment

10G Bronze Trophy Icon

Near the area where GLaDOS is found, a door hidden behind some objects leads to the docking area of the Borealis. The achievement triggers automatically by walking up to the life preserver near the gate.

26 - Door Prize

Door Prize

Examine all the vitrified test chamber doors

20G Bronze Trophy Icon

27 - Portrait of a Lady

Portrait of a Lady

Find a hidden portrait

10G Bronze Trophy Icon

After the first Propulsion Gel test, there is a room blocked by a locked gate in the small area between the last chamber and the next. Portals can be used to access it. Examining the portrait of Cave Johnson and Caroline within causes GLaDOS to comment on her familiarity with them, unlocking the achievement.

28 - You Made Your Point

You Made Your Point

36 - Iron Grip

Iron Grip

Never lose a cube in Chamber 6 of the Mass and Velocity co-op course

20G Bronze Trophy Icon

This achievement is unlocked by catching the cube in chamber six on the first try.

The achievement counts for both players, regardless of who catches the cube.

37 - Gesticul-8

Gesticul-8

Perform all 8 Gestures of your own volition in co-op

38 - Can't Touch This

Can't Touch This

Dance in front of a turret blocked by a hard light bridge in co-op

10G Bronze Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory.

Party of Three

Find the hidden companion cube in co-op test chamber

25G Bronze Trophy Icon

The Companion Cube is in the final chamber of the course, to the left of the building containing the security disk. To reach it, the player must use the Excursion Funnel to send themselves past the building. A wall will open, showing the cube, before pushing the players into a spike wall. This achievement and "Still Alive" are mutually exclusive.

41 - Narbacular Drop

Narbacular Drop

Place a portal under your co-op partner while they are gesturing

25G Silver Trophy Icon

This can be performed in most chambers, but the Hub or the first chamber of Team Building present the most convenient locations. The gesturing player has to fall through the portal to activate the achievement, but unlike Empty Gesture does not have to be killed afterward.

42 - Air Show

Air Show

Perform 2 aerial gestures before touching the ground in co-op

20G Bronze Trophy Icon

This is easiest to perform within an Excursion Funnel or infinite loop.

43 - Portal Conservation Society

Portal Conservation Society

Complete Chamber 3 in the Hard-Light Surfaces co-op course using only 5 total portal placements

20G Bronze Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory. The total includes portals placed by a partner. The achievement will unlock for both players regardless of who places the portals.

44 - Four Ring Circus

Four Ring Circus

Enter 4 different portals without touching the ground in co-op

25G Bronze Trophy Icon

To unlock this achievement, the player must physically enter each colored portal without touching the ground. Entering one portal in a pair only counts as one portal. All four need to be entered without passing through the same one twice. This can be accomplished in Chamber 1 of Team Building. Place the yellow and red portals on the floor next to each other. Then place the blue and purple portals above and to the right of the floor portal on the right. By entering the purple portal on the floor, the player will pass through the purple and red portals, hitting the ceiling. Upon falling back through the yellow portal, the blue portal can be switched for the red one, allowing the player to fall through and earn the achievement.

45 - Triple Crown

Triple Crown

Solve 3 co-op chambers in the Mass and Velocity course in under 60 seconds each

15G Bronze Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory.

46 - Rock Portal Scissors

47 - Professor Portal

Professor Portal

After completing co-op, complete Calibration Course online with a friend who hasn't played before

75G Gold Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory. This will not work if the player befriends a random new player during Calibration Course. To activate it, the player must befriend then invite someone who has never played before.

48 - Still Alive

Still Alive

Complete Course 4 with neither you nor your co-op partner dying

15G Bronze Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory.

49 - Asking For Trouble

50G Silver Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory.

51 - Talent Show

Talent Show

Never lose a cube in Chamber 6 of the Mobility Gels co-op course

Bronze Trophy Icon

Self-explanatory. To catch the cube, place one portal under the Vital Apparatus Vent and the other on the slanted portal surface opposite the ramp. Trigger the cube and have the other player run up the ramp at the same moment to catch it in flight. Once the cube has passed through the portals, move the portal from the vent to one of the two platforms at water level, sending the cube-holder into the air. Then move the portal from the slanted surface to the remaining platform. This will put the cube-holder into a loop so they can destroy the turrets guarding the exit. Once the cube-holder has destroyed the turrets, place a portal on the slanted surface opposite the exit to launch them to the door. Once both players have reached the door, the achievement will activate. The achievement counts for both players.
