@Superchoco25: Thanks for playing this map still!! Thanks for spending that amount of hours in there! I'll try to record the official solution one of these days, and maybe also try to prevent the unintended ones that ppl have been posting. Cheers!!

Very cool and challenging! Took me and my friend nearly 3 hours to complete! By the way, there is an unintended way of redirecting the laser to the receiver which opens the exit doors of the first chamber. You can use the laser cube to redirect the laser from one of the player spawns to the other, but in a way that it reaches the white wall diagonally. By doing this, the blue robot can shoot one portal at this wall and another at the wall that is at the left of the stairs, making the laser pass through the glass and reach the receiver. This can be easily fixed by removing the glass near the receiver, but I don't think you still update this map XD. Also, like many others in this commment section, me and my teammate didn't use the last bridge of the last chamber.

Truly amazing map. Phenomenal job, tons of fun!

There is an unintended way to pass the last part, the last bridge was not needed.
Winnie the Mao 29 May, 2022 @ 9:48pm 
Took us 90 mins, really good design, but tooooo hard
欢喜qwq 10 Mar, 2022 @ 4:55pm 
Ha ha ! The author does not know the correct way to pass the level!:steamhappy:
josepezdj  [author] 10 Mar, 2022 @ 10:09am 
@欢喜: hehe, thanks for playing! I know that most of you never used the final bridge. The intended solution is quiet cool, but no one ever found it so dar. I hadn't ever time to record the official solution either... Lol, maybe I even forgot how to sove it haha. You are welcome to keep on finding it ;) Cheers!
欢喜qwq 1 Mar, 2022 @ 8:18pm 
I don't understand what the light bridge in the last level does, we didn't use it:steamhappy:
Dan 19 Sep, 2021 @ 8:04pm 
Absolutely a must-play level.
Smarties Jaune 5 May, 2021 @ 2:03pm 
Finally a map with some challenge ! Not for beginners, and some unforgiving timers... But a good adventure nontheless

TOO DAMN HARD
josepezdj  [author] 17 Sep, 2020 @ 11:28am 
Thank you so so much! :D Cheers!

The most difficult and prettiest map my best friend and I played. 11/10 would recommend every portal veteran.
runnr 2 May, 2020 @ 10:17am 
Great map, only found a shortcut in the last room that wasn't intended I guess
AureasAetas 19 Apr, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
Very tough maps, took me and my partner around 4h-5h to finish it. Great experience.
There is one big issue with it, no chekpoint system to avoid having to redo everything if we fail because of a mistake like putting the wrong portal.
At the end of the part 2, we used noclip to come back to areas already reached the legit way.
ChrisLP 14 Jan, 2020 @ 9:57pm 
continue my complaints... i hate this because...
7) the first time you solve the timer puzzle, you go there in vain, coz you don't know what's up there so you must die to only then try it tthe right away, that's of course, if you understand what those signages represent.
8) there are twon uncenecessary buttons on the walls at the start that disables the opposite player's fizzler, which only purpose is to confuse players coz there is a lrge wall on Atlas side.
9) it's RIDICULOUS that yu separate players like this, because the second player (P-Body) always have a lag delay, difficulting a lot some kind of moves like timing stuff right or working with cube holds. And the only way to switch sides, is to quit and ask the other player to host.
ChrisLP 14 Jan, 2020 @ 9:28pm 
Impossible. I can't stand a chamber where:
1) one of the playes don't have any portalable surfaces to enter.
2) you stand there looking at the very first thing to do and you don't do it coz it wouldn't make any sense either way.
3) you solve a part of the puzzle after many "let's see what this does" playstyle just to find that getting that first cube, for example, didn't actually change a thing, there you go stand looking at the chamber again pointlessly.
4) separating players like this is not actually co-op, each player do their thing whle the other wait for their turn.
5) dying during such hard puzzles are devastatating to the mind and patience of doing all of it again and again only because you placed a portal wrong or something.
6) having excursion funnels push you all the way to a wall when if you don't exit out of it in time, the ONLY way out, is to fall and die, that's bad design and is very irritating.

One of the hardest! Very good!
RentedGenius 4 Aug, 2019 @ 3:19pm 
No idea how some people here finished without using the final laser and light bridge , amazing map it's a 10/10 for creativity from me.
Big Beautiful Bill 31 Jul, 2019 @ 9:52pm 
Are we supposed to be glitch standing with the grate in the first room?
Hoagie27 6 Mar, 2019 @ 3:37pm 
Solved it, but did it without using the very last laser and light bridge at the end? Is this the intended solution?
ShadeLily 31 Aug, 2018 @ 1:38pm 
Nice secret and a brilliant map ;)
Rotation Cat 14 May, 2018 @ 12:10pm 
It was hard, I wish it lasted longer :steamsalty: 9.5/10
Mr.Mario.o 8 Apr, 2018 @ 3:50pm 
Thanks alot for these maps, played a million customs, but these were the best. Not sure if we solved them as intended. We stacked cubes for laser and we never needed lightbridge.
dimeade2 11 Mar, 2018 @ 5:20pm 
Hey so me and my partner found an unorthodox method to solving the first part of the puzzle. We used angled portals. Picture 1
Picture 2
sarinoa 27 Dec, 2017 @ 9:55pm 
yOU DEVIL people. I love and hate you at the same time! Was wonderfull and stressing, we spend almost 4 hours!! It is a really advance chamber. Thanks for share your devil creativity.

nice

lag city :/
KILLA KOBRA 10 Jul, 2017 @ 8:49pm 
Wasnt that hard. Maybe took about 38 minutes but in hindsight, not as hard as everyone said.
Map Difficulty ehh ill give it a 6/10. You know its nothing i couldnt do. Creativity 3/10, very basic mechanics needed to be used for a successfull escape. Was hoping for something more difficult. Ahh oh well...
wooberries 30 Jun, 2017 @ 10:14pm 
This map was absolutely phenomenal. It was more innovative and challenging than any other custom map I've played, as well as being the most satisfying to complete. It was two hours' worth of squinting my eyes, enthusiastic failures, and throwin' the cube into the water right before the end just to be a douche -- and I loved every minute of it. Thank you for providing us with this superb example of user-made content.

PS. On the very last step, we actually got both players across the pit without needing the light bridge that turns on when you use the cube to direct the laser into the final node. We had no idea how you could solve it with one player waiting to use the light bridge when it turned on.

@Martinch: Thank you, thanks so much for those words... those are exactly my feelings when I play a map that I consider special in some way and that I really enjoy playing, so it's quite rewarding to hear that from someone else :D

@Darth Khyll & Billy Pilgrim: there you go I hope that will help you to move forward... don't give up!! ;) Thanks a lot for playing! Cheers!! :)

@Sjonny: Hmmm.... I'll look into that. Thanks for pointing it out!
E-Ranker 3 Jun, 2017 @ 3:17pm 
This is honestly the best Portal map I've played in my life. The the puzzles, the amount of times I've wanted to rage quit, the emotions I got when we actually finished the map - it was trully magical. It used ideas I've never seen in other maps and it constructed beutifully. Thank you very much for the experience your team provided us, it was trully a pleasure :D
Sjonny 27 May, 2017 @ 11:49am 
I know this is pretty late but I have found a bug exploit. When you start and Atlas walks out spawn there is a screen right in front of you that blocks a spot for a portal that can be placed. But you can still shoot a portal behind the screen it if you shoot at the brokenheart icon. The one on the right to be exact.
Darth Khyll 24 May, 2017 @ 10:44am 
We can't get on the high up light bridge to get to the two buttons. jumping off the initial light bridge into a portal doesn't work because it won't get you high enough.
josepezdj  [author] 24 May, 2017 @ 7:53am 
There IS a solution for chamber 2, ofc! I never had the time to record it (again, because it's coop), and there IS a key move (that I wanted to be shown by someone in a solution video because it's cool when you figure out! however, that never happened :()... and now I would like to recheck this map carefully, to fix unintended moves, and to record the solution video... but on top of that, I'd like to help you out... so in the meantime I find the time to revise this map, would you explain where and how are you stuck, please? :)
josepezdj  [author] 24 May, 2017 @ 7:49am 
Hey Darth Khyll & Billy Pilgrim! Thanks for playing guys!!!! :D Hehe, I'm glad some finally found it difficult to solve!! It happens that many players did solve it but in an unintended way... and so far, no one made it intendedly. To be honest, due mainly to this is a coop map, I never found the time to check carefully with any other experienced player every unintended solution to fix it... and I'm sorry for that (I know I can play a coop map myself alone, but the truth is that 4 eyes see far better than just 2!).
Darth Khyll 23 May, 2017 @ 3:30pm 
I can verify that the second chamber seems to be impossible after every permutation was tried (3+hours)
Elios 23 May, 2017 @ 3:27pm 
The second chamber does not work, I tried referencing older videos and it's imposible.
josepezdj  [author] 23 Jan, 2017 @ 11:42am 
Thank you so much for such kind words. For a mapper there is no reward than making something that ppl like. Thank you really :D

I think this one is beyond the user-made room of Portal 2, it's a moving story itself instead. I'm truly touched from even imagining about the amount of your dedication. Terrific, I don't think it will be forgotten in my whole life.
KERI 23 Jan, 2017 @ 11:37am 
Most funny experience I ever had in portal 2 !:steamhappy:
