Whew. This one was a doozy. EASILY the hardest so far. Requires advanced forethought and, if you’re anything like me, LOTS of trial and error. As you’ll see in the video (if you watch through all 1 hour and 8 minutes of it) I screw up lots because my brain just can’t hold that many steps at once very easily. My short-term memory is really shitty 😂

Did not know what that trap was for though. I guess it might be technically possible to get out of without quickloading the way I was trying to do it but that’s what I did since I didn’t feel like quicksaving in the middle of a trap. Seems incredibly pointless and distracting from an otherwise great chamber.

It’s really a shame this game’s recording mechanics aren’t more precise because I was getting pretty frustrated when I was trying to do the final move and a few times in a row my clone’s portal just would not place. That wasn’t the solution I ended up settling on and it may have been unworkable anyway, but I did have to perform a similar maneuver for the solution I DID end up with, and I got around the shitty precision just by portalling a few times.

And yes, this chamber was apparently too epic for my laptop to handle and the game crashed at the end. Luckily OBS was still running and the file (or at least the end of it) appears fine. But right before it did you will see I did in fact make it through the door.

Also, I don’t hear the “laser noise” others in the comments are mentioning. I see this was updated in 2022 along with a bunch of other maps in the series, maybe that was fixed? If so, big thanks that I didn’t have to deal with that 😅

See someone mentioned that they didn’t need the funnel because of wall buttons exerting gravity - noticed that in the last chamber. Wonder if the exploit is still possible with it being far back. Not checking right now - do not want to go through all the steps again quite yet!

In any case, well done.

Чувак, этот лазер реально раздражает. Если ты думал, что это прикольный эффект "ошибки", "бага", вируса, краха системы и т.п., то это не совсем так

I also recommend to remove the background noise. It is just irritating.

Okay, first of all: AAAAAAHHHH, MY EARS!!!!! Also, did you forget about the fact that wall (and ceiling) buttons have their own gravity? Because I ended up not needing to use the funnel to get the cube to stay in the button due to this.

You build very good maps, thanks a lot !!!

What with that blinking laser ? X) It's not even used as a puzzle element...
Also I'm not sure if this is the way you should do it, but well, it worked :p

Why is there a cycling laser in the middle of the map ? The constant noise it makes is greatly annoying !
