Once I had both cubes I was thinking about sacrifices almost constantly... which is pointless since the cubes are both right beneath their pedestal button ^^
Well, I excessively overcomplicatd this one ;D

A couple of red herrings (unused elements) kept me confused for a while.

Interesting map! Thanks.

Fun to play and still challenging--at least to me.

Another good one. I was trying flinging to reach the funnel but the real solution was easier. Thanks

@Sariiger Yeah this is an old test riddled with exploits - my newer ones are much better ;)

Good puzzle, although I don't see how blocking the laser does anything for me, seem quite useless

Well, I liked it =D And used both cubes

Good puzzle, but pretty sure I did it by unintended method, especially after reading comments below.

another good one,didnt use the portal surface above the funnel or the one on the side wall

I also played the map one more time and discovered that you don't even need the normal cube to finish the map. I was able to complete with only the laser cube.

Nice map, but I found unintended solution:

You jump onto the main part of the map from the beginning. Press the button to spawn the cube. Using the funnel you can make you and the cube go up to the platform that leads into the laser room. Spawn the laser cube and point it towards the catcher that disables the fizzlers. Go onto the platform right outside this room and shoot a portal on the floor of that room behind the fizzler that's now gone. Take the laser cube off the laser. Go back to the platform, place the opposite color portal of the one you just placed in the fizzler room below you, and jump into it. You'll retain enough momentum so that when you come back to the side with the platform again you can get into the funnel. Place the portal to where the funnel goes, travel through. You're at the beginning again. Send the cube up to the button that bridges the gap between the exit and beginning room when activated and your done.

Nice one again.
wildgoosespeeder 24 Dec, 2014 @ 1:25pm 
Real solution please?
wildgoosespeeder 24 Dec, 2014 @ 1:25pm 
I exploited because something wasn't piecing together. If your chamber was based off of someone else chamber, link please? If not, tutorial section is needed! Tutorials are hard to pull off so they don't reveal too much of the solution.
wildgoosespeeder 24 Dec, 2014 @ 1:22pm 
Lag was due to something else unknown. Probably just me.

As for the exploit, I confirmed it is possible to bypass ever needing the regular cube, aerial faith plate, or laser for something else.
wildgoosespeeder 24 Dec, 2014 @ 1:55am 
First impressions: Lags so much! I see so many light strips that the light sources are too many and may be straining my video card! I'll try again tomorrow.

Can't solve yet due to laggyness but I think there may be an exploit that bypasses the need to use a bridge to cross over to the aerial faith plate as only one cube is needed and not both for different reasons. Uses advanced fling maneuvers.

@p0rtalmaster That would be great! I tried myself to put it in hammer but I found it too difficult... If you could put it in hammer that would be great! :)

This puzzle is better than you think (maybe I should do this one in Hammer too...)
Demon Arisen  [author] 5 Oct, 2013 @ 9:44am 
Thanks Toothless! :) I'll try and make a new chamber tonight or tomorrow....
Hazellius 3 Oct, 2013 @ 5:40am 
Solved it. Great, as always :)
kimist108 29 Sep, 2013 @ 1:07pm 
Thumbs up. Tried to use all of the portable surfaces. Did not use the one above the faith plate or the one that if used with the faith plate one would have shot me to the entrance area.
Hazellius 22 Sep, 2013 @ 9:11am 
Haven't solved it yet, but I found an exploit. Should be an easy fix: http://youtu.be/dFXNlpDP7KE

I hope you like this test more than I liked building it, because I didn't really have fun dealing with hammer.... Oh well, I've had this idea for a while, and it's not as hard as I would like, but it's clever and that's the main thing. Please comment and tell me anything you have to say, good or bad, it really helps me out. :) I'll make a better chamber tomorrow... Hopefully....
