Portal 2 – How to Find the Turret Wife Serenade

How to find the Turret Wife Serenade, a group of turrets singing.

Getting into the level

The turrets are located in Test Chamber 16, which can be found by playing through Chapter 3: The Return, or entering one of two console commands, being:

map sp_a2_laser_vs_turret

or, if you don’t want to disable achievements, load any save and instead type

changelevel sp_a2_laser_vs_turret

This will load you into Test Chamber 16.

Finding the Serenade

Now that you’re in the level, go forwards and use portals and the button activated laser to destroy the turrets in front of the cubes. Place the regular cube on the button and position the portals like so:

Using the laser redirection cube, kill the turret inside the vent, and the explosion will break the grate, and you’ll be able to enter.

And there you have it! A group of turrets singing, which can be seen underneath the floor as you crawl under the vents. Crawl a bit further and you’ll find a Rattmann Den with mural on the wall.

Notes

According to speculation on this reddit post, it is supposedly a nod to an early concept where Chell would stumble upon a lost tribe of turrets and they would marry her to one of them. As far as I know, however, it’s unconfirmed.
