I have gotten the impression, over about 13 years of playing P2, that this map is probably the most notorious and renowned community map, is that right? It is the stuff of legend

"...it shouldn't be too difficult." And I suppose you call an alligator a lizard, too. Ha! Took me a while to figure it out. Very nice challenge.

A classic, made famous by mevious's take on it. Now I finally played the original. The best and hardest part is to save the cube in the first place by swapping sources .
Thumbs up :-)

I actually solved it. Took a while to get that cube. Very fun one

I was very tired and sleepy. I thought to myself I'll solve this one and go to sleep. The description and comment seems to suggest it's not too hard. TOOK ME 2 WHOLE FUCKING HOURS! For a long time I was just standing motionless in a corner thinking to myself how tf could I get that damned cube. I had to turn on the music so I wouldn't go crazy from frustration. Now I'm crying and mad at myself because I'm so stupid >A<

The best maps force one to ponder their next move even with few elements, and this elegant map excels at that.

Still brilliant.

Very cool map. Obtaining the cube definitely took a few minutes of thought. Thumbs up :D

Very clever puzzle. I got really mad at myself three or four times because I kept using the wrong portal when working on getting the cube . I like the alternating portal aspect , not many puzzles make use of that. Cheers.

VERY nice!

Well... People in comments say that it was the hardest thing to find out that you must
switch tracktor beam to the light bridge to get the cube stay in the exit room
and they say it was so fucking hard it took 20 minutes them to solve. Why, I totally agree: it really IS the hardest thing to find out in this test chamber. But it took ME A FUCKING 3 DAYS! 3 FUCKING DAYS OF MISERY AND FRUSTRATION! AM I THE STUPIDEST FEMALE TEST SUBJECT IN THE WHOLE PORTAL 2 UNIVERSE?:steamfacepalm:

Just came back to this puzzle after several months and playing the other versions of your excellent map. I don’t know why I didn’t add to my favourites back then, but have done so now.
bullfrog 2 Jul, 2017 @ 12:01am 
Brilliant puzzle. Even though I'd already played (and fav'ed) your "Azorae's Entanglement and Borders", it still took me a while to think of/remember the solution.
Spaceminnow 24 May, 2017 @ 2:16am 
Similar to I puzzle I played in your collection awhile ago. This puzzle plays great :)
Petutski 23 May, 2017 @ 3:36pm 
Great logical puzzle! For me, the trick was how to get the tractor beam into the exit room. Nice use of dual purpose elements, as well. Thanks!

zigzagtenniscoe 25 Aug, 2016 @ 11:03pm 
BTW no worries I did thumb it up now lol
zigzagtenniscoe 25 Aug, 2016 @ 11:02pm 
Apparently I never gave this a thumbs up meaning I never solved it.. surprised I never did so before. Very good map. Was quite challenging, not gonna lie, Getting the cube was the hardest part for me, I tried many different things for around 20 minutes till I realized I had to pres the button and get it into the funnel, then once it passed through the hole in the glass switch to light bridge, go back and put the light bridge below the cube from the area to the right, then bring it to me with the funnel again. After that I knew what to do with the cube immediately. Great job, Excited to play the other's edits of this map sometime.

When playing Azorae's maps, you can count on the minimalism to help you. Everything is there for a reason. Nothing extra is included. I always appreciate being able to simply look at everything in the map, and being able to think: "Why is this here?" I know it has been placed for a reason, and that it is a part of the solution. In this case, the fact that you can get both the light bridge and the funnel flowing through the portals at the same time is the clue to the solution.

Not too difficult? I'd hate to see what you call difficult! Great map, took me forever.

Excellent puzzle. Had me stumped for a good while.
Chelliste 7 Oct, 2014 @ 8:06am 
I spent the longest time thinking about how to get the cube off the button and into the funnel. The answer is simple and one that is often overlooked by players and deviously used by map authors. Duh. Out !@#$% standing map.
TS_Mind_Swept 18 Aug, 2014 @ 8:32pm 
Ok, well I couldn't figure out how to get the cube the first time, but thanks to the begining of KennKong's walkthrough, i was able to get it. I probably would have never thought to put the lightbridge back to stop the cube for running into the emansapation grill once it's through the hole it's so simple that you don't even think about it! >.< 2nd part was easy, but just getting that cube the first time was like @.@
Oh, and by the way, nice job with that big area on the side that had no use, it stole probably about 5 minutes or more with me trying to figure out why it was there instead of solving the puzzle. 7.5/10

I like the way elements of the puzzle seem to cross over to both sides of the test. .
spetzjalista 15 Oct, 2013 @ 7:09am 
Man. That was a hard puzzle. Excellent work.
Loveless 12 Aug, 2013 @ 6:36am 
Very nice. I kinda dislike cube destroying maps, but the first half of the puzzle, trying to get the cube, was awesome.
exr 27 Apr, 2013 @ 10:28pm 
Great brain-twister :D Very well done. A really good map.
Diego 15 Mar, 2013 @ 1:05pm

I played the Mevious edit of this - great level! I love how the room is so simply laid out and yet quite difficult to solve, the mark of an excellent puzzle!
dneufeldt 12 Jan, 2013 @ 10:02am 
This is possibbly one of the most difficult, genious designs I have come across yet. Wow, I had the box on the button, walked on the light bridge to the tractor beam again, and then my brain overloaded and I got stuck... then figued out you just do the same thing twice.

Thanks very much!!!
Azorae  [author] 28 Dec, 2012 @ 6:51am 
I actually used four different "pieces" of glass to make the large glass wall. One 2x5 piece makes up the bottom, two 1x2 pieces are on either side of the hole, and a 1x5 piece stretches over the top. The editor will combine all panes of glass that are touching into a single surface.
tuyuqas 28 Dec, 2012 @ 1:17am 
Hey, Azorae, can I ask a question? Could you PLS tell me how did you make that huge square hole in glass. I noticed that this is unavailable in regular in-game editor. But I need that soo badly for my latest test chamber! I beg you for help!!!
GraveNoX 24 Dec, 2012 @ 1:11pm 
Excellent map!

also. make some co-op maps. My friend and I can't find any hard ones anymore, everything's too damn easy
76561197963294130 13 Dec, 2012 @ 8:27pm 
Great map. Make things like this more
Pomko 5 Dec, 2012 @ 2:54pm 
Simply fantastic.
KennKong 5 Dec, 2012 @ 12:56pm 
This is the kind of puzzle I love: hard to find the solution, easy once you do. Brilliant!

Kony himself showed me this genius creation. Me at first. [ct.fra.bz] Me after I solved it. [i1.kym-cdn.com] Valve should definitely hire you if you're available.
Sriracha 1 Dec, 2012 @ 2:15pm 
EDIT: I SOLVED IT!!!! AZORAE YOU GENIUS FUCK YOU!!!
