Overview
Core is the final map before going to old Aperture as well as the final map of the chapter Escape. Also the last map GLaDOS is in control of the facility until the ending cutscene.
General Route
Core starts on a L shaped walkway B-hop up the walkway and around the corner and shoot either portal to the portal surface to the slight left of your 90 degree turn, there should be another corridor that has a portal surface in view. After shooting that portal there is another portal surface to your right shoot the opposite portal to your right and go through it. During that process there shouldn't be a need to stop moving. You should be in the next corridor turn right and walk forward a small bit until you can see the portal surface under the platform across the pit which would be about a 45 degree turn and shoot a portal to the portal surface under the platform across the pit. After shooting that portal turn directly 90 degrees to your left. and shot a portal and go through it. You should end up in the box with a cutscene that lasts about. It's important to note that this is a faster route than b-hoping through the corridor and shooting the portals at the platform and to your side although it saves very minimal time and isn't a necessary route.
Now you're in the box. This is about a 1 minute and 20 second cutscene and cant be skipped. Once wheatley comes out of the tube grab him ASAP and directly on the opposite side of the chamber where the box is should be where wheatley's injection terminal pops up wait for just keep trying to shove him in until the trigger loads so he can go into it.
