Yeahhh it's pretty bad and very hard to execute but I figured since you put "experienced players only" there was the smallest chance mayyybe it was intended, though I've seen a couple of your other maps before and I felt you weren't really the kind of mapmaker to force such maneuvers on your test subjects. And it turned out you weren't :P

I discovered this on my own one day (a long time ago), just toying around, I thought too that pressing inwards wouldn't be enough to overcome the push closing a portal gives you but was surprised when, if you time it just right, it's actually possible and fairly easy once you get used to it. One of Gig's old maps relied on this move as well.

@zigzagtenniscoe well I'll be damned, I've never seen that particular exploit before, in like, any Portal 2 map. I figured doing that would just push you out of the portal xD
Thanks for playing my map, and for the video. Always a delight to see blind runs

Blindrun of the ninja solution
Yep, did it the cringe way the first time. It was only when I went back to quat’s remake (which I played just before recording this blindrun) after having an epiphany that I realized I was making it much harder on myself than it needed to be. The intended manner is a lot more fun.

I didn’t record a run of the intended way because I thought it’d be rather obvious, and while the second part is basically the same as quat’s the first part was quite fun to figure out. Unfortunately I don’t have footage of me going through those motions, but oh well.

As I said in my comment on quat’s this really isn’t that difficult to execute for me, I mess up a couple times but overall even though this is a slightly cheesy mechanic and many people who can see/execute this will also see the ninja way to do it, this is actually quite fun.

Difficulty: 4.5/10
Enjoyed: 7.75/10

Clever move, but tedious to execute, and very frustrating to mess up.

@sparklecharmer that is so flattering to hear! Thanks for playing. Very glad you enjoy my No Elements maps so much

you're responsible for making two of my favourite maps of all time, this and connection. it's so satisfying to finally piece everything together, and replaying is enjoyable just because of the way it all unfolds!

Great chamber though I did get a hint from Libby's post. He may be right about the height, but 2 would make it more obvious. I don't know what the purpose of the stairs and the portable surface above is other than to distract from the solution.

I agree with Libbybapa; I didn't find it that hard. Still, fun map. Thumbs up.

The concept was pretty clear and straightforward to me. My only gripe is the stairs at the far area are only 1 block. It seems you could make that height difference 2 squares and save a LOT of repeats of the exact same move.

Watched the walkthrough; very clever/hard; too hard for me, but maybe one day ;) - thumbs up

got it with a one second hint. excellent no elements test.

Stumbled on this one. Thanks Hazelius! I didn't solve without the walkthrough, but it's still challenging to do.

Nice one, good use of advanced classical move :) I don't know if that can help or not, but I checked it for curiosity purposes.. and stupid portal glitch through glasses work, even with light strips.

Damned ! i was suscriber to this map and i saw tan remix by Quaternary, so i decided to play the original first...Excellent test chamber, no alternative solutions, no useless elements, very well done, i hope i will going better in no elements style in playing map like that :)

That's incredible. Agree with camerson, climing the wall at the end was super fun.

@pheno I should probably do something about the not being able to reach the ledge sometimes. Other than that, I'd like to keep it the way it is now because I just thought it was an interesting idea. Thanks for playing though!

p.s. if you find yourself not being able to make a ledge but just barely, usually crouching while trying to move onto the ledge will do the trick :)

p.p.s. Here are two chambers that use the same idea that you might enjoy more:

Painfully tedious, especially the second part, and the momentum is extremely undependable - in the first part I had to noclip back up to the alcove because I couldn't get high enough, even with the intended solution (I checked the walkthrough). It is a unique idea, though, and I'd like to see it used some more if possible.

I think this may very well be the hardest no-elements map on the workshop (one of the very, very few I can legitimately call hard). Amazing portal momentum tricks, but no special skills or angles needed. Look back at the title of the test if you're stuck.

I solved it (without the walkthrough). That was the weirdest, yet most ingenious way of momentum building I've seen yet. o_O My second favorite No Elements map for sure! (surpassed only by Connection) :D

Wow..... That's ridiculously confusing.... Very clever though, thumbs up! :)

Solution video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj3Moizz3Xo You should consider watching this, I'm pretty sure you wont be regretting that :P

Yup, I'm almost totally confused. :P
Another good one, well done.

I'm going to regret attempting this, aren't I? ;)
