Idk about this one, if this difficulty is the standard for the rest of this sadly i think the bulk of players wont find this enjoyable, and instead a think for 5 minutes doing nothing and looking up the guide.

WARNING! THIS MAY NOT INCLUDE THE PROPER TEXTURES FOR THE PELLETS. as this creator said they couldent get it to work however if you go https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Portal_2_Energy_Balls you can download a enegy pellet file that includes everything you need.

I tryed cheating, it didn't work

Nice puzzle but you should put something on the ground to put the cube on because this simple task is too tedious.

Finally figured out how to get all the pellet paths. Took a pass on the cube re-direct. I never could get those. ...it's why I could never get the achievements for completing the "advanced" maps in Portal 1

I understood that u was supposed to make two 45 angles to make a right one, but it was frustrating to do in practice. When I got the box, I was looking for a button....no button. I guess I'm supposed to use the box to bounce of the pellet, but that was too tedious so I quit the map in frustration.

Pro tip: Test your maps and make sure your solution is consistent. Second chamber was frustating and he didn't even deliver the line well.

Soundtrack doesn't fit in my opinion. Why put a happy song after you almost die by a energy ball that can literally vaporize you? Should have had a more depressing tone.

(I guess re-exporting everything with default settings also re-compiled all maps found recursively in the directory of given game .exe)

(I did this after subscribing to the maps, so that they appeared in my list of community chambers of others, of course.)

I managed to fix this bug by downloading the latest version of BEE2 (+packages), then running {location of extracted folder}\BEE2_4.34.1_win\BEE2.exe, choosing Portal2.exe as the game to modify, leaving the name as it was, then in the Export Options window I clicked the [Export to "PORTAL 2"...] button and then restarted the game. So far it seems to me that it works like a charm, nothing else is affected.

So, the exact versions I used are: BEE2 4.34.1 (Application) and BEE2 4.34.0 (Packages).

Nice mod btw, I'm creating a gameplay video to YouTube rn about it, otherwise I probably wouldn't even have thought of ways to fix this.

Looking forward to episode 2!

It took me 20 min to catch that last energy ball

Good grief! Solving that last step took me a while to figure out. I wish now I had paid more attention in geometry class. I suppose random hits will do the trick, but there's a faster, more reliable way to do it.

Solving things with random trials and error it's not a puzzle. Frustrating and boring.

Last part after getting the cube I solved with totally random luck so I doubt I solved it as intended. Anyway, thanks for mapping.

If you're having trouble with the angle, you're probably not doing it right. I got it on the first try after figuring out what to do.

I loved how the angled panels were used to change the angle of the pellet. That being said, I did not like using the cube to change the angle of the pellet. It took too much trial and error.

Clever, this level more than makes up for the boring 2 and 3. Narrator's annoying, though.
Also, lol @ all the people saying it's impossible. Looks like you need to start thinking with portals.

Ok. I got through most of this easily enough. However, there is one chamber where you have to bounce an energy pellet through a small opening that I just can't do. The pellet comes in just a fraction too high, and there's no way to fix it. I have tried every angle I can think of but all of them just send it further away. I appreciate the added difficulty over the last few maps, but I think that, due to the pellet being missing and therefore cube-shaped, it's throwing off its trajectory. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

OK, I don't know what "execution based" means...as a term critics of this map are using, but I'm an experienced Portal'er, and the first three maps of this series were very innovative and smart.
This one is maddening and (I think) impossible. Skipping it.

The energy ball was a missing texture...

That last testing chamber was very hard! The game was lagging, voice crashed and for some reason moved to different section and the test was so hard to solve! I was like: ,,C'mon develepors! Can you leave this thing from Portal (that I will play soon) behind? Using the cube to move the circle (what is it?!) is so unfair! I don't know where it will go... ''

The energy ball is not packed (missing texture)

i also have this issue
that sucks because i basicly solved that part of the puzzle but i cant progress

This is the first point where I'm getting annoyed. I got the pellet to pass in front of the last catcher like it's supposed to be done but I've been trying to bounce this freaking energy pellet into the catcher for the past 10 minutes and it WILL NOT bounce in no matter what angle or timing I try. These things are not following the same physics as Portal 1 where it will accept it just by touching the outside of it, if it's not perfectly centered it doesn't work...

Not fun. Not hard, just annoying. Why? You put a lot of effort into the worlds. Work on the puzzles. If you have to resort to execution based then it probably is not worth it.

Agree - not a fan of execution based maps. No rating, sorry.

Just for fun. Place the cube in the space where the pellet comes out. Fireworks!

boy did that take me a long time to get that final move. not sure what explosion you are talking about

No idea!

Easy to see but difficult to execute. nice.

I really don't get it, like Valerka273, I don't understand how to get the pellet to the next room to ubnlock the cube.

one fckn room harder that entire portal stories mel :/

I take issue with the penultimate sentence, and not just for the wrong apostrophe. The final move of the map is remarkably finicky. Rexaure fixed that with stands. At the very least dropping the catcher to floor level would remove some of the lethality, without compromising the puzzle. I do like the concept though.

I agree with sass, I thought that last chamber was really hard until i realised I just had to make the pellet go straight, fire a portal on that one other white wall in the chamber, and redirect the energy pellet with a cube. Luckily, only took 2 tries.

The explosion was neat but everything else kinda let it down.
Execution based tests are the worst, followed by tests with no puzzle at all, follow what Portal did rather than emitter and catcher side by side.

Holy fuck, that explosion scared the shit out of me.

This one gave me some of that sweet solution euphoria. It's actually not that hard. I only spent as long as I did on it because I completely forgot how I straightened out the energy pellet the first time.

i'm not gonna lie, puzzles shouldn't be "execution based" , and i left a thumb down on this one, i tried +10 times with the energyball, without success. Seems i'm not alone in this case..

Who knew that Aperture Laboratories could harness the all powerful missing texture ball.

Just finished it! Did not take me too long to figure it out. I left a comment before saying that a walkthrough is needed and I still think so because I probably would have never guessed that if I did it on accident. For those that want a hint for the last chamber:

You have to be quick on the draw in the fireball chamber

It was going perfectly fine, but that last part of the puzzle made me rage quit so bad that I gave that map a dislike and unsubscribed all of the other maps. If I can't finish one level without cheating, then this map really has a problem with me. I'm sorry, but this map is getting a -2.5/10 rating for me

I was unable to solve last puzzle. Is it correct? Even with fireball from another room .
