9.5 / 10
Took me 1 hour. Brilliant and beautiful puzzle with funny gimmick.
Strongly recommend to solve it by yourself. (always, if it's from this designer. :3)

Solving Step Hints
1 : place 3 gel drop first, and then 4th one
2 : keep that drop in the air !

я подозревал что решение будет связано именно с этой областью на карте и то что основано на этом принципе. но что бы оно было именно таким... этой какой то новый уровень головоломок для Portal. напоминает головоломки the talos principle. мне так показалось. иронично то что the talos principle вдохновлялись Portal)) Mevious ты гений. карта кайф

Mevious turns out to be able to make you angry. I don't believe that you can only get to the platform with the gel button by jumping over a cube from a square filled with gel. This is simply not Mevious' style. I haven't been able to leave this room for three days.:steamfacepalm:

Simply brilliant. Like others, having played "Stasis" was a big help with this challenge.

Holy shit, like how do you even come up with stuff like this? I figured the final step(s) would involve having to place the gel in a stasis of some sort , but this is a truly unique way of doing so. This is an incredible successor to a certain one of your previous maps. Layout is more my style as well as compared to the past few from you. Well fucking done, devious genius.

Do note there’s a ton of brainrot in my blindrun not seeing obvious connections so I’ve sped it up to ease viewing it somewhat. Not like anyone watches them anyway.

Difficulty: 7.75/10
Enjoyed: 8.75/10

I'd call that an "edge exploit", but very clever nontheless!

Thanks HermanitoII... that tip made the solution so clear. I can't believe I didn't see it before lmao... embarrassed to say how long I was stuck on this, especially because I just replayed them all. Big ups to Mevious as always, I get like 95% of the way there and then feel like a dumbass for a few days.

It's masterpiece, man. Thank you!
klaus.sfc01 31 May, 2023 @ 2:45pm 
really amazing it took me wayyyy too long to get that final move just about 2 years ;)

Although I am two years late to the party, fantastic map! I was really happy to see another map from you, and this one definitely did not disappoint.
romaingallo 15 Mar, 2023 @ 11:30am 
Amazing solution ! It took me a while, but I finally did it !

Я успел добежать до выхода прижимаясь к стене (так больше скорости) и поставить портал) раза с 30ого получилось. Только потом понял что можно было проще)

Great puzzle! Thanks! One tip to fix unintended solution: I was able to jump to platform where the gel button is. You just need to put a cube on the very edge of the platform, where the excursion funnel and other stuff are, and then jump and bounce from the gel square, land on the the prepared cube and bounce from it to the other platform. If you have prepared portal near the exit before, puzzle is solved.

Probably the coolest solution I was able to discover myself. Loved how you trained us with the first half to learn how to use the normal block
HermanitoII 28 Jan, 2023 @ 12:48am 
Another 5 star map!!

For beginners (if there are beginners at this time playing portal after 10 years) I recommend playing first Stasis to get a clue for the final trick.

Thank you again for this great work!

Such a satisfying solution!
brloh81 11 Dec, 2022 @ 6:21am 
Took me a couple days.
The solution is by far the most creative thing I have ever seen someone do with portal mechanics...solving this was the best experience with a workshop map for me...ever.
Great job, definitely an underrated creation.
lfairban 24 Oct, 2022 @ 12:52pm 
Great chamber, very creative. Not too hard, only took me a couple of days.
Retiylh 17 Oct, 2022 @ 6:05pm 
Ngl had to cheat but the answer blew me away..I thought it was gonna be something ridiculous but it's pretty creative.
hd42 5 Sep, 2022 @ 6:53pm 
Hardest test in this entire game.
anpy 1 Sep, 2022 @ 4:18am 
Incredible!
233 27 Aug, 2022 @ 4:01am 
very good , you need take some time to figure out.
hd42 13 Jul, 2022 @ 7:43pm 
Are you friggin kidding me? A pulse generator!!?!?!?!! I couldn't solve it, had to cheat. Blew my mind. For the first time every I'm glad I looked at the solution because I was NEVER going to get this. Had no idea that was a thing in this game.
jandlml 9 May, 2022 @ 9:30pm 
excellent!!

Fanstatic!

Awesome puzzle. My experience was very similar to @Talisac's in that I could tell by the layout that I needed gel over there, or that I needed to bring this cube over here, so figure out how first and why after whereas it's usually seeing why first and figuring out how after. At least that's what I think I mean, since I confuse myself now and then, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, thumbs up and added to favorites.
ezr2remember 17 Mar, 2022 @ 9:40am 
so clever, Master Mevious.
Dark Rozen 6 Mar, 2022 @ 12:06pm 
Cool idea
Talisac 1 Feb, 2022 @ 2:02pm 
Great puzzle, only thing strange is that I was solving it without knowing where I was going (blind step by step, "blueing" everything obvious and wondering how it would bring me to the exite). Thanks to layout, and "clues" (lights, plateforms,..) you know what to do next and last move was a "ah yes, of course" moment ! thumbs up!
Bujm 6 Jan, 2022 @ 8:14am 
Не смог пройти. Сейчас посмотрю подсказку и буду, вас всех кто прошел сам, ненавидеть.
mechtakendall 5 Jan, 2022 @ 1:13pm 
Very well done. I got confused with the cube for a bit before realizing what needed to be done. Thumbs up!
nock 30 Nov, 2021 @ 1:53am 
I know you were there at the time of solving, but once again a fantastic map and loved the ending

Another awesome Mevious puzzle...even after being stuck for some time. I've learned after playing a number of your puzzles to never look at a solution, since they are all so well thought out and the "ah-ha" moment will be so satisfying. I saw what had to happen at the end reasonably quickly, but figuring out how to get the laser cube from its initial position to its position near the exit to set up the oscillator took quite some time. One of the things that opened things up was finding that the gel would be redirected by the faith plate -- I thought it would just splat. After that (which allowed gelling up some other area) it finally occurred to move the laser cube closer to the emitter so the beam passed through the cage area. Once I saw that, the rest fell into place. Thank you for another fantastic submission.
SpielSatzFail 20 Nov, 2021 @ 6:12am 
Thank god I knew "Stasis" :-O
On a different note all the other steps were equally hard for me :-/ every corner I looked at would raise more question than giving inspiration ^^
I don't know what it is, the more I play Portal the less I seem to understand things and the more I'm getting irritated by some design details... I might remember incorrectly, but in my memory your older maps (most of them) were easier to analyze...
I'm glad I finished your workshop for this year ^^ yet thanks for coming back ;-)
Docentti 20 Nov, 2021 @ 4:06am 
I tried solving this yesterday evening for almost three hours, couldn't figure out the final move. Today, I got it in 10 minutes. What a relief! This was an amazing puzzle although there was no use for the portal surface between the cratings where you leave the cube first time when blocking the laser. That had me confused. .
BehindPortal 13 Nov, 2021 @ 3:53am 
did same as @omega end move style is my personal fav. but took little time to figure out. ended up with both cube to exit. fav :p2cube:
Mr Fab 7 Sep, 2021 @ 5:33am 
Great puzzle and a nice use of every element !
waghihgaghhhhn 6 Sep, 2021 @ 8:57am 
your map is so creative that....
lapicidas 4 Sep, 2021 @ 9:19am 
That was fun :steamhappy: excellent :steamthumbsup:
Mordecai 31 Aug, 2021 @ 9:51pm 
Creative solution! But I found a way to complete the map without using the weighted cube to block the laser. Which is getting both of the cubes, stacking them next to the wall closest to the exit door, grabbing the cube on the bottom and shaking the cube real fast underneath, and jumping onto the ledge to exit the level.

For some reason some of the maps in my queue crash the game to the main menu screen, including this one, so I had to play it on my brother's computer. That means you'll see one unique visitor less in the map statistics. Sorry about that. Great level though.
VeryThickBoy 20 Aug, 2021 @ 5:55am 
great one!
shaperones 9 Aug, 2021 @ 8:41am 
well, this map was very pleasant to play. thumbs up!
mabelpines 7 Aug, 2021 @ 9:49pm 
I could easily solve it by playing your old map Stasis
Thumbs up!
racknae 29 Jul, 2021 @ 12:38am 
Took a bit of thinking to figure out how to use the second cube. Great test.

Jumping off the stairs in the middle of the map sends you way higher than normal, by the way. Weird bug.
Andy T 27 Jul, 2021 @ 11:24pm 
Oh use Weited Cube for interference to laser, transfer that to perpetual funnel flipping, and transfer such force to delay movement learn a new move everytime you put out a map, I'm still flabbergasted but at least this time I get this far.
henpitts 25 Jul, 2021 @ 8:01am 
WOW. I never would of that way to delay the blue goo.
Miami Mike 24 Jul, 2021 @ 7:05pm 
Did anyone else notice that sometimes, when you stand at the very top of the stairs below the laser catcher, there's an earthquake?
Bean Sidhe 24 Jul, 2021 @ 6:49pm 
I was able to finish it by shuffling both the cubes under my feet and jumping >-<, I would make the final platform a smidge higher.

Your maps are always amazing, I look forward to replaying and throwing my brain into a meat grinder for another few hours.
