Where you go, I go
What you see, I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand

Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall

Finally done! Definitely the hardest chamber I have attempted so far, and really glad I managed to finish it off as it was VERY satisfying to finally put it all together. I did most of the chamber quite quickly, but I could never ever find a reason why the lift needed cleansing, honestly the biggest mystery I had ever seen for a while there lol. At one point while staring from afar I just saw the setup in front of my eyes and was immediately sure that that was it. I never got bored of thinking about this chamber, which is rare for me when playing chambers this hard. Absolutely wonderful! ;)

Thank you for the kind words Khan, I'm glad you enjoyed the map :)

Bro, this is beyond genius or any other word in the dictionary. This map has more creative moves than any other map i've played. And it not only has creative moves but so much reuse too. The solution requires all the moves i could and couldn't think of in this layout. Anyway, in all seriousness, i think this is your second best map because it almost beats Nemesis ;)

I have been thinking too much in the wrong direction. I thought the gel didn't fall far enough to fall into the water.

Getting the blue gel there is intended, though if you used your method you showed earlier then its not intended.

I successfully jumped up here this time. Is this the correct way to solve the puzzle? This map is really amazing, it's like brainstorming！！！

Yeah that's not intended, I didn't even know that would be possible to execute.

Because the laser will prevent the gel from passing through the door, I used a box to block the laser when the gel entered.

I am a little confused the context of that image, but it doesn't seem like you did it intended. Is it possible for you to either show a video of what you did or describe what you did for the final portion in spoilers?

Is this the correct method of unraveling?

It's too difficult, I'm stuck in the last step.

That's the antline showing the piston in the goo is connected to the floor button. Since there's no floor around the piston is hard to get antlines directly to it.

The laser receiver under my feet confuses me. What is the device it can activate for?https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3223120023

Yeah that's not the end, however it is good progress :)

At present, it can be confirmed that this is not a solutio.

I am certain that I am trapped. I have successfully transferred the box to the outside. When using the laser, the force field was indeed eliminated, but I cannot go up. I need to think more

If you made use of a lodged cube then you probably did it correctly. I added it because I saw the opportunity to make use of it and just had to be greedy with adding as much as I could since everything worked out so well. Thanks for playing :) Ill get around to posting a solution video here sometime.

I'm not sure I solved the end the intended way. The last bit was unique and a bit cheap imo, but overall this map is now in my top 5 and I've played about 1000 maps. great job and thank you so much!

excellent map!! i had to cheat , i actually tried a version of that move but wrong version. i dont think i would have ever come up with that. oh well

im so frustrated. i want so badly to finish this on my own. but im just missing something really significant. i just cant see how its possible to be able to put a portal on the wall opposite the fizzler and be able to make the cube respawn that needs to be on the button that brings the piston down and up. the only thing i see that i can do with the piston without the gel is to move a cube out of the room. but i did that at the beginning. i cant see what the change is now that would help getting me and portals in position to throw the gel

if anyone out there would mind watching me while i play this map to see where im going wrong i would greatly appreciate it. when you are on and are willing to help give me a shout out

i have tried so many things i couldnt say just one. i have been all over the map with all kinds of moves here is where i am right now. just kind of staring at the whole map trying to think of something i havent done https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561197998387666/screenshot/2274947649184981573/

What was the one way that you tried? Here's a vague hint: The goal is to be able to shoot a portal on that surface behind the fizzler (the one opposite the gel laser catcher) while also getting up to the gel drop area. Essentially, this requires you to delay the rise of the platform, so that you can shoot a portal there and then have the platform come up under the gel dropper. The fact that you've cleansed the platform basically allows for one new possibility — setting something on the platform without it bouncing away. How could that help?

i used the cleansing gel but i dont know why. i can do that same things with the gel as without the gel. i am trying all kinds of things. i thought of one way that may have worked but it didnt do what i hoped it would.

lol that was going to be y next question. whether it was necessary for the solution. ok thanks

@jandlml, you're actually very close to completing that step. You're goal should be to make use of the cleansing gel next

well this is what i have so far. now i can move all over the map . but still cant get the move i need. ive been trying to work from what i know is the last couple moves but i cant get the move that i need after putting a portal on the wall and dropping the blue gel. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561197998387666/screenshot/2274947340413190852/

Very nice map with some very nifty moves !

@jandlml Well, yes, duh. There's no another way. But you need a specific portal configuration. Fiddle around with the piston, figure out the end move.

this is the hardest map ive payed in a long time. i hope i am close to finishing. can you tell me if what i think what is needed to finish is right? do i need to drop gel through a portal on the wall in the piston area. so it hits the floor in front of the door?i am close to do that but i just cant find a way to raise the piston after putting a portal on the wall .

My playthrough, 11 minutes: https://youtu.be/MHeO5iI6K_o

hmm ok thanks

@jandlml dropping the blue gel onto the piston is the next step, your next goal contains making use of that.

@mark yeah nobody no one discovered that way first as well, thus why i kinda want to patch it out, but there are so many restrictions in the map that simply moving stuff is not so easy. Either way thanks for playing :)

@SteemStream Thank you for confirming that the first move was actually intended. I revisited the second move, and in fact it is actually ~4 seconds before reaching the goo (~5 sec - ~1 sec to push the button). I miscalculated piston speed and goo level, so my number was ~2 sec, and I had to think about appropriate mouse speed. So for me, it was ~0.5-1 sec 120-degree shot vs. ~0.2 sec easy shot, and the difference was not 100% clear. With 4 seconds, the distinction is indeed very clear. My mistake. So technically, no need for fixing, but I will add that the second move was easier to discover.

well looks like i need a hint. i cant seem to get anywhere.. i have both cubes on the bridge side. i can either drop blue gel or open the top fizzle wall. neither seems to do me any good. opening the fizzle wall is no good because i can only do it from the laser side and while im on the floor. dropping the blue gel just doesnt seem to offer me any possibilities to advance. is either right? and i just need to keep trying

@mark I am aware that it might be considered a controversial move, perhaps some would go as far to call it gimmicky due to it seeming almost paradoxical, Im glad the move didn't hurt your feeling towards the map, I wanted to include as many moves as I could think of within that piston lightbridge setup. For your second comment The first move you do in the video is the intended way, the second way I am aware of and trying to think of how to fix, though it doesnt skip much it does hurt the map I consider the first move to be fine on timing because you can sit there for nearly 3 seconds before the cube reaches the goo, for the second method, notice the cube falling into the goo hits the ledge causing it to slow down, as well as the cube bouncing off the button for a split second, you shoot the surface as soon as possible and the rc just barely makes it on the lightbridge, if you are half a second slower you miss it which I find to be pretty tight.

I don't fully understand this part of the puzzle. I'm not sure if both moves are "tight timings" or not. I did not spend a lot of time searching for an alternative because I don't know the exact definition of "tight timing" and both moves are easy to execute.

Great puzzle.
Sometimes it is not possible to go through the jail bar if one portal is on the piston. But resetting the portal solves the problem.
The main move is counter-intuitive. My brain interprets the fact that cubes don't go through lightbridges while pistons do, with something like "well, I guess, pistons apply a stronger force (compared with cubes/player weight) or something," and with this intuition, the main move is impossible. This is not a complaint, because I'm aware that, unfortunately, it is ok NOT to describe moves like this as gimmicky, but I still want to point it out because this thing stole an hour or so from me.

well ive gotten a bit farther. ive gotten the laser cube out of the laser side

can you give me a hint?masalt. the only thing i could think to do was angle the laser cube on the stairs to point the laser at the activator. but that didnt work. the only portal surface that is given where there is access is covered with bars. so im out of ideas

nvm i did it

how the hell do i get progress after getting both cubes on the normal cube side what the hell, im stuck with you @jandlml

nice to hear someone else is as stuck as i am. lol

The same here @jandlml

all i seem to be able to do is drop the laser cube. i cant find anyway to advance

won’t exist until the contest ends

Wise words. MASALT, ILL REMAKE YOUR REMAKE OF THE UNIVERSE
