Good puzzle, but like @jandlml, I'm also "just not fast enough with the mouse".

@Kuba Thanks for playing.

Brilliant map. One of the best ever imho.

@dire.fcs I don't quite understand how you did it in the whole. It would be great if you could provide a video. That way is not intended anyway. Nevertheless thanks for playing.

My solution in the ending: I and II . I did the jump to the laser barrier button area at same time as the cube, using bridge to land.[/url]. I did go to the observation room. Didn't found 2nd easter egg.

thats ok im just not fast enough with the mouse

Well, that's how it was done. Anyway, once again, thanks for playing.

oh well i cant do it. just not fast enough. i wish there was a little more air time and you went a bit higher.

im going to go back and try that. it is what i thought needed to be done just wasnt sure the way to do it. the new element of the exploding cube is pretty cool. i hope i can eventually accomplish it. i would like to try to fin ish the map

thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3nx4Vgb8mw this is not totally intended but most of the key moves is OK.

i actually figured that was what you had to do just didnt think it was possible . i would love to see a walkthrough to see it done

@jandlml Thanks for playing this rather old (actually 5 years now) and crazy map. This map can be very frustrating for some players... but I'm not sorry for that :)

nevermind if 40ozkilla is the way you do it, i will never be able to do it. too bad.

anyone still around checking this map. i have no idea what to do. iknow how to move the cube to either the gel button or the faith plate. i thought maybe i needed to launch myself up to the other funnel but i see no way to do that. i tried putting gel on the bridge but still cant get high enough and i see no use for the cube. please help

@bonjorno7 thanks for playing this old map. It's rather hard to figure out and execute. Read the comments below. There you can find some hints.

I couldn't even figure out how to get into that push beam in the second puzzle.. oh well I guess I'm not smart enough :/

Yes, you're absolutely right.

Thanks for the information, i found another way to sovle this puzzle. This time i got the cube into the air with blue gel, and then caught the cube with the funnel. I guess this is the intended solution of this chamber.

Cube sticking is a bag. I have used a complex mapping solution to prevent painted cube (in the intended solution) bouncing against the button. It worked then but something went wrong and now you're not the first one who experienced this.
As to your way I can see that you have used an exploit with painted floor near the glass at the enter area. I know about that flaw. But I don't have an original file of the map now and cannot edit it, therefore.

I have a question. Is that the cube can be stuck on the last button without the funnel?
FYI, this the scene how i put the cube on the button:

@MaDai thanks for playing this rather old map. The way you used is not intended and actually I cannot imagine how you did that. A video would be great.

Finally. i use light bridge and my body to push the cube onto the last button, i don't know is it intentional.
Anyway, this is a very great map!

@40ozKilla Thanks for playing. Yeah, the way you've got to upper funnel is totaly intended. As for the catapult in front a laser grid, this is for cube not for player. If you didn't use it at all then it was obviously unintended. Now you may want to solve additional challenges: BTS area Easter Egg and Side quest BTS Alternative solution.

Wow great map. Took me like 3 hours to figure out, damn! I don't know if I passed the intended way but I never used the faith plate in front of the laser death grid. The way I got to the high funnel in the first room was the craziest manuver I have ever had to pull off in a portal map, although after I had to do it a few times trying different things it got to be easier. Basically I got the blue gel in the lower left funnel then hit the 2 portals to use the laser to make the faith plate work, waited for the gel to almost hit the wall in the funnel, jumped on the faith plate then quickly made a portal in the middle, then one on the funnel with the gel then back to the light bridge to all hopefully land in the middle just as the bridge gets coated with gel. OMG that was awesome!

Where have your maps been all my life? Just as I thought I would never find a challenge in this game again.

But that's not the end.

The button that open the laser grid to the exit.

which button do you mean?

It's helping me a LOT. I can push it right on the button using only the light bridge.

The cube starts sparking on player approach and explodes if player pick it up - that's intended. So if you want you can push it, though it hardly helps to solve the puzzle.

The cube doesn't explode unless I pick it up. If I just touch it, it sparks, but doesn't explode, so I can push the cube. Is this a glitch or intentional?

I wrote something on the map's TWP thread.

I'm glad you're still trying. As for that failed jump - that happens. I know it's annoying to try doing the same over and over again. As you know what to do - keep on trying or just noclip to the upper funnel to go on. There will be more logic though not without execution.

Tried it again. The jump won't reach the funnel.

Tried this a few times already since it's release. I've watched the solution videos by Jose and Calmly Frenetic, but I guess the execution is too hard for me. Anyways, I really like this map, and if it was a bit easier, I'm pretty sure it would be one of my top favorites.

I don't know why some people rate a map down just for fact they are not able to solve it.

Judging by the ratings, you've probably given your fair share of test subjects some frustration (myself included). I managed the first part fine, but I have yet to get through the second.

@Calmly Frenetic I can give you a little hint: when you are in the BTS area you can see what you need (it is not hidden) though you can't just take it you have to GET it.

I never did work out what was intended for the "side quest bts alternative solution". Has anyone solved this task?

@Roflpwninator Thanks for playing and leaving your feedback. And you're on the right way to become a better player and mapper. Good luck.

Well done. Very tricky. I kept dying on the first jump, and finally gave up and watched the kamikaze video, which scared me away from the rest of the puzzle =). Even watching the video made my head hurt with all the remembering which portal goes where and getting the blue goop and cube placed correctly. This puzzle reminds me of the game I Wanna Be the Guy - awesome but I don't think I could actually complete it. Excellent job though anyway. I am trying to soak in the superior intellect from your puzzles so I can make better maps =).

thx :3

@Ace Ryder: Alas, I am stuck as well. I still think it's awesome though.

Music is Waiting For The Night by Depeche Mode.

What is that music? Awesome concepts!

I'm stuck on the second test....

This is amazing. Great puzzle, incredible concept, and the music is just plain awesome.

@AD_79 Thanks, I know about that texture pack. But I've created my own field much earlier and like it much more.

Oh, Depeche Mode!

Well, I liked the idea of a cube that you shouldn't pick up. I might make a map with a similar cube. As for the field that destroys physics objects but doesn't reset portals, you could've just downloaded the fizzler texture pack on ThinkingWithPortals. The Matter Inquisition field (Yellow) would do the same thing.
