Portal Camera Locations

I’m seriously addicted to Portal at the moment. Seriously addicted.

One of the things I really like about the new games included in the Orange Box pack is the new achievements system, essentially an achievement is a form of challenge within a game such as killing an enemy in a certain way or amassing a required amount of something. The achievements range from quite easy to accomplish to automatically happening at certain points in the game to being downright fiendish.

The achievement I’ve noticed people having difficulty with is the Camera Shy achievement, which amounts to knocking thirty-three cameras off the walls by creating portals behind them. Here’s a complete list of them all with pictures.

Warning: If you haven’t already completed Portal there are spoilers ahead!

Update: A few people have contacted me about this one. You do not have to take down the cameras on the metal walls that you cannot place a portal behind, they don’t count towards the achievement.
