Dual (Advanced)

Description
Hey guys, I hope you will like what's coming up next, but first things first: if you haven't played Mikeastro's Dual (Remake) already, go do that right now because it is an awesome, ingenious little map that is very satisfying to solve. So return here when you're done!
....................................................................................
Now, wasn't that nice? I hope you liked it, because you'll be seeing a lot more of Dual in the forthcoming. You could call it advanced, you could call it stolen or you could call it just adding a whole third island to Dual and calling it a day... Wait, deja vu, anyone? That's right, do you remember when Mikeastro made an advanced version of my "Moth" map called "Butterfly"? Now we've turned the tables. This time I made the advanced version of Mikeastro's "Dual (Remake)" called "Dual (Advanced)". So in the description of Dual (Remake), Mikeastro wrote that the third cube didn't really add that much to the original puzzle. Well, today it will make its grand return. And by that, we don't mean we're gonna throw some magic sparkles in the air and tell you there is a thir...oops! I don't want to spoil the surprise! It turned out that quite some interesting things could be done with it. I hope that you enjoy it!

Also, I know what your thinking. You might ask "Atom, Why haven't you published this map around the same time as "Dual (Remake)"? To be honest, I deeply apologize for that. When I first played "Dual (Remake)", this small map became my inspiration to make it advanced version. So I sat into my desk and create a diagram of my inspiration. After the diagram was done. I realized I didn't have the elements that the original puzzlemaker didn't have. Feeling a little sad, I decided to delay it. That is when I finally installed beemod in the late December 2020. After making so many maps in beemod, I realized the project I delayed 2 years ago. So I keep talking to myself "It's been a long time since I made this diagram. Will I ever to redeem myself from this diagram that I delayed 2 years ago? Will it ever be reborn? There's only one way to find out." After quite some time, I had a chance to redeem myself to get this map in the workshop. Again, I deeply apologized for the delay.

But now, It's finally here! The moment you all been waiting for all this time. here's my version of "Dual (Advanced)". Also, go check out Mikeastro's Workshop. He make really good maps and makes really cool custom music. And one more thing, this is first time I made a custom thumbnail in this map thanks to Mikeastro for letting me in for tips, let me know what you think. Good luck and enjoy!

Estimated difficulty: 6/10.
Please post your solutions, especially if you think you have done anything unintended.
Music composed by Mikeastro.

NOTE:
- The full-auto reset is NOT part of the solution. Only use it when you're trapped.

Hey!!! I loved playing this map! It was so hard, but really rewarding! I might have found another solution too! https://youtu.be/lu0TM87BqBU I would really appreciate it if you guys checked it out! @Mikeastro @Psychological Atom thanks again for the great mind bender!

@Riishuu Yeah, I think you need to redo it again. Cause right now I don't have a special flip panel in my palette to replace it.

I found some pretty big cheese. Never used the far section at all. I did this by bringing the laser cube to the exit section and aiming it at the exit lift receiver. I then stood on the exit lift and shifted the portal slightly so the laser just misses the cube raising the lift. Maybe a portal snap on that surface would prevent this

Excellent map :steamthumbsup:
A bit like the precursor to Self-Isolation #14

@Captain Unhook Long time no see. Glad you enjoyed it. Haven't fixed the middle panel cause I was so busy. I'll get back to it when I have time. :)

What a map! This one took me a long time to solve. There has been one step I just couldn't figure out and I even considered looking at one of the playthroughs in the comments at one point.

Glad I didn't in the end, because it felt very satisfying when I finally solved it :D I think I solved it intentionally, because I used everything (multiple times).

I liked everything about this map: layout, lighting,music, logic and also the thumbnail. Favourited! :)
