Great puzzle, definite intended solution ?

I know that fact too. Conversion gel may be hard to control. The point is to leave no option but to use the blue gel as part of the solution to get out...or...delete the blue gel dropper and go with only the conversion gel :)

@Spaceminnow
The conversion gel is not easy to 'handle', that's why this is the only map i have with it; i probably will remake this little map in hammer to prevent these unintended solutions.

@Spaceminnow
Ok, that's too much work spreading conversion gel, but i think i'll make another update; using the blue gel is really much easier and faster. Thanks for the video.

Hi Dire, I have played it again. I have made a commentary video for it. Please copy and paste the link into a browser to view it. The Steam tool they use doesn't seem to work at all.

Map updated.

excellent laser map!. iguess i voted this down the first time i played it. sorry dire learned alot since then. dont vote thumbs down just because you can solve it. favorite!

I enjoyed this puzzle too. I turned on the blue gel...didn't know how to use it. I found another way to solve it with out using the blue gel.

@kimist108
Well that seems to be true (conversion gel is a 'unfriendly' element); anyway the blue gel use is an easy move. Thanks.

Have not read all comments, but this looks like there is more than one way to escape. Did not use blue bounce gel.

@Andi
there is another way to get the conversion gel: see stormsend's video (very cool and easier, the rest of the map is still the same)

@stormsend
Thanks for playing and for your video. I just saw your video, and that is a very good alternate version; I used the blue gel on funnel and then fire a portal to the bridge, spreading the gel in it to get the last cube; I only use one conversion gel bubble in a quick shooting portals ; yes I know the conversion gel is very 'dangerous'. But your move to get the conversion gel is very cool, easier than mine (I may have to rethink about that in this map).

Great map. Everything is right there in front of you. You just have to figure out how to put the elements together. I spent a lot of time playing around not getting anywhere. Then I had an aha moment. Probably didn't solve as intended but what can you expect with the gel/funnel combo. Here's my solution. Thanks.

@Traveler807
Thanks again for playing!

@Andi
Sorry, no video; but it's not that difficult to switch/change the portal from funnel to bridge, I think, after getting the gel bubble on funnel

This chamber is not for me. Unless I'm doing something wrong, this chamber relies on everything being aligned very precisely and as for the conversion gel, you must be very very accurate and you only have about a half second to do it right. I'm not accurate or good under pressure... i.e.. less than a second to place two portals. If I’m wrong then I’m to stupid to figure this one out, sorry.

Can you post a video? I have to see it otherwise I won’t understand.

Ok I think I know what you intended Top cube in the funnel and bottom cube on the button pointing up , but using the cheat below made the timing much easier. Thumbs up, very chalenging map:)

@Traveler807
Thanks!

Getting the 3rd cube was a very nice puzzle:) I didnt make it to the exit yet, though I feel like I'm close, its just a matter of finding the right laser path. Will have another go later

@Andi
Look well to see what is there and how to use it.

Everything needs to happen inside the cage... you can't put a portal where it needs to go.

@Andi
Are you sure about that? How come you can't get the third cube?

No idea. I can get two cubes and acitavte the bounce gel but nothing else.

@jokmaster
I think I removed all your unintended moves (at least to exit; thanks

@jokmaster
I try to avoid the conversion gel, and maybe I'll remove it from this map; good thinking with the funnel!

Look : you give funnel + reverse polarity + white gel... This is sure there are unintended ways ! Making map involving white gel is a complicated task. Anyway, i never using fast portaling for apply the white gel, just blue and orange tractor beam.

@jokmaster
You are one map breaker (the conversion gel move is suposed to be the most difficult task so only neede to make it once; but you a very fast shooter, so it's easy to get that gel and try other ways...but ok!)

I solved again only with 2 cubes, bridge (activated by defaut) and funnel then of course first laser and white gel.

@Jade BGE
There is one difficult move in the map (Ithink that's the most difficult; and if you don't want anyhints, then please don't read any previous comments because the intended moves are all in there.

Not yet... I must try again...Don't help, not yet.

@Jade BGE
Thanks for playing! Could you finished it?

You're alway so hard for me...
I wish my brain would twist this way...
I try...

@Brave
Thanks for playing!

Challenging but clever puzzles... thumbs up!

@Ganymede
You can press the final fizzler button before crossing the fizzler (while standing in the bridge); I changed the pedestal button but if you moved the portal bridge you could reach that button.

Ran through this again. Three things come to mind now:

SPOILERS

1) If I walk through the fizzler at the end, even with the button, there's no way to get out. There are no portable surfaces anywhere in the room or opposite the room to place a light bridge out.
2) The pedestal button you moved is now unreachable from the light bridge without the aid of a cube to stand on. Was this intended?
3) The white gel would be a lot less frustrating if the laser catcher was slightly higher. As it is, the redirection cube has to be angled down just slightly, and it's really easy for it to get missaligned after bumping into the wall a couple times.

Other than that, this map was much easier than I remember. I think part of the reason it was so hard was because it was 1:00 am by the time this popped up in my queue and I had already played through a dozen other maps. I'll attribute it to puzzler fatigue. That's not to say it's an easy map. It's just not as tough as I may have said it was.

@commander2005
your unintended move is fixed now, thanks

@commander2005
Thanks and that was a previous version, that fizzler shouldn't be there; and the other picture is not intended.

@jgaultney
Thanks for playing.

@Ganymede
Thanks for playing; there is a lot more difficult and better maps than this one; even so I agree that this one is not that easy and has a simple design; thanks for your words but there better authors than me.

This was, hands down, the most difficult Portal 2 puzzle I have ever played. And I have played and analyzed nearly 150 maps by now. Please, for the love of GLaDOS, update your description to reflect this!

SPOILERS

Every task I performed in this map, from placing gel on a light bridge, to triggering a laser receiver with a redirection cube AS it was travelling through a funnel, to the timed sequence revolving placing the white paint, to placing a redirection cube at another cube without the help of a laser to see what I was doing, all combined to make this one of the most grueling, advanced, and rewarding map experiences I have probably ever had.

I could go on and on about why this map is so polished and represents everything that is good puzzle making, but I think I will let the map speak for itself. That is praise enough.

A really great puzzle! I loved how, with every step of progress I made, I would uncover
yet another devious 'twist' in the solution :) Thumbs up and favorited.

Big thumbs up!

Genious puzzle, but also me stucked in the end. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=318953126
look at this, I hope this was intended :D https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=318953018

@Requiemsoul
Thanks man, for the support!

Small and very clever chamber. The task to press the upper pedestal button is fantastic.
Easy/Medium.. well , it´s harder than your previous puzzle IMO xDD. I used each element and I felt very intended my solution. Well done!.

@Polux
Sorry I forgot to remove the fizzler when publish the chamber (didn't play the publish version yet) but it's fixed now.

Yes, but there is a fizzler at the end..

You have to put some white gel on the floor to the ceiling button

I'm stuck just in front the exit door :(
I do not understand your trick...
