The Impostor v3.0

Description
NOTE :
It's been a long time since I first posted this map. This test is still for Portal veterans, Olympians and war heroes exclusively. An impostor has infiltrated Cave's CBEAC (companion board of executive associate cubes). Can you find the hidden chamber and unmask him ?

UPDATE :
v3.0 is here, almost 10 years later. I widened most areas, removed an annoying recurring puzzle, changed the layout a bit and tweaked the lighting. Made the gel area less frustrating. This place got bigger and better! Enjoy the new version :)

v2.0 is a complete face lift of the original map. Changes includes :

- A long an intricate series of puzzles.
- Alternate path is now obvious from the start and leading to alternate exit.
- Bonus room now contains a bonus puzzle !
- Gels area almost totally redesigned.
- If you lose your edge less cube, you can now easily get a new one.
- Most puzzles are the same but should be less confusing.
- No more surprise death, no more shortcuts, no more getting stuck.
- Still plenty of ways to die so save often :)

Be aware that if you re-download this map there's no going back to the previous version.

Yeah thats it, you can choose wich way to go at the end. If you open the end with the ball, you go to a room filled with companion cubes.

You can skip the area with the gel altogheter, but you won't get the ball, so you won't be able to go to the companion cube room. But you can still finish the map.

It's like two maps in one. Don't worry about spoilers :)

I hope in a previous post, no really bad spoilers no? let me know if there is and I will fix or delete the post...

Well, the main thing is to get to the last room and shoot up at the portal, and can go in almost no hurry), and through the portal with the laser to bring the ball and the cube, and choose which way to go) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=910801661 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=910801661 and you mean to pass without blocking the laser in a room with companion cubes?

Oh I get it nevermind. Like I said alternate exit is opened with alternate puzzle elements.

Hello Godfather! You mean one ball is enough? It is actually meant that way. If you skip the area with the gels and the ball, you can still solve it by using the laser cube. It opens the other exit and skips the room with the companion cubes. The laser in that last room actually prevents you from getting out. Did you manage to exit the room without blocking it?

I just realized it's been four years already, thanks for playing, you make my day :)

I went through the room with the gel, brought the ball, one was enough to get into the room with the cubes, and the laser was not needed to exit : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=909956361

Major update on this map ! If you enjoyed it the first time around plz take the time to try the new version.

Yeah i did not find any satisfying angle that showed everything properly... too much going on in this thing hehe. And i did not want the final "bonus" room to show. I'll try and make it better.

And no you don't need the sphere to finish the puzzle...

But you'll get acces to a bonus room if you have it. It's just cuteness though, no puzzles in there. It's basicaly a display of companion cubes, with one being astray and replaced by a frankencube. You can throw the frankencube into the fizzler and restore the lost companion cube to it's rightfull place (it's the one you see behind the glass).

I had this concept in mind of having a hidden optionnal sidequest. It is not required at all to complete the test, but i think the "sewer" area you have to solve to get the sphere is even bigger than the main chamber. It should keep you busy for a while ;)

I actually managed to reason out that's how that would work after I slept on it. That makes me feel better about the puzzle, actuallty. However, there's still the question - is the edgeless safety cube at all required for solving the puzzle, or am I expected to get it to access more of it?

Oh, and you may want to get a better screenshot of the editro view so we can actually see the whole puzzle. The editor takes an automatic snapshot of your perspective when you publish it, so it's easy to only take a crop of the whole thing.

I already fixed it.

Go behind the grating and shoot a portal throught it to the only availlable spot, then drop down, place portal number two and get back into the chamber to get your cube. You will have to use the flip panel again to finally get the cube out of there.

I agree that this test chamber can be really deadly at times. Save often, especially in the hidden area !
