Thank you and well done for solving this to the end!

nevermind! outstanding map thumbs way up and awarded and favorited. thanks for the patience!

so to understand correctly you have the blue cube in the exit area but you don't know how to get the red cube back? Destroying the red cube is correct so don't worry about that. But, there is a way to get the red cube back. Pay attention to how the exit surface, the red-cube-laser-relay and the red cube dropper are all aligned. Second hint the funnel is useful in receiving the red cube.

oh boy, im moving just real slowly. so i i have the blue cube on the side of the exit room with the portal surface. in order to do this i had to destroy the red cube. now im stuck trying to figure out how to get it back. i can redirect the laser to get me back to the other side , but then i cant get to the cube fast enough. i thought if i had the platform raised i would be able to get there but that didnt work so now im stuck.

ok great.

yes!

ok so i placed the cube on the grated platform near the cube dropper. is that the right place? i can still use it to redirect the laser

ok i will keep trying lol

ok I understand the cube on the yellow marking is correct, but the other cubes position is incorrect - you don't want it near the button. Hint: That hanging platform with the big sign under it is designed to attract your attention.

ok im not quite understanding. so i have both cubes at the top. at this point i have one(i can switch if necessary) at the yellow square upside down and one over near thew button redirecting the laser coming out of the surface behind the yellow wall , to the cube. which in turn moves the panel on the ceiling. from here is where i get lost. i can go into the exit area and respawn the cube , i can even make the piston go up but i dont know how to get the other cube into the exit area so i have that one to take with me and climb on to get to the door.

I imagine it's one of two things you have missed: Either you have the two cubes set up wrong on the top layer Hint The 'guy-grabbing-cube-through-grating' sign hints to the correct setup. Or You haven't found a way to use the piston-platform in the exit/entrance area after respawning the red cube. Hint You can stand on the platform and drop a cube on the laser to raise the platform.

ok i am at the top i have one cube redirecting the lase to the cube that is now upside down facing the trigger to move the ceiling panel. so i can go and fling myself into the exit room but i cant see how that helps me. i can respawn the cube in there but there is no way to get the other cube back.

thanks

You first need both cubes on the top layer of the puzzle. The yellow/orange square and the black ∩-shaped bar is a hint on how to progress from there. Otherwise, you are correct that you need both cube in the exit area. Keep at it, you are almost done!

finally able to get back to playing. so im stuck again. i have gotten to the top. i can see all kinds of stufff to do but nothing leads to the finish. i have the blue cube on the second bridge button. the other cube is at the other bridge. so i have two bridges and no idea what to do with them. i thought i needed to get both cubes in the exit area but i cant figure out how to get the second cube on the necessary side of the room

my screw up i didnt notice the plate moves

thanks

The faithplate will always send you to the bullseye, even if it moves. Another hint Follow the antline-laser to know what to activate, then take the faithplate. It will send you into the second cube area.

i know how to drop the cube but not how to even get in the room. what should i be looking for?

Your next goal is to get the red cube out of its starting area. Doing that doesn't require the top layer of the puzzle but it is a lengthy and a fairly challenging sequence.

ok well i have the cube and i can create the bridge. im not sure if what im trying to figure out is the nest move. im trying to use the lift. but the dropper doesnt have a timer. i cant figure out how to delay the drop so i can move down the tunnel before the lift starts to ascend . any hints

thanks i will keep at it

Great update!

@jandlml Have you noticed the portal surfaces? If you are having trouble spotting them, you can look at the first 30 seconds of the solution video.

Puzzle has been updated, thanks to skosh for pointing out a few skips!

well what an amazing looking map but i have no idea how to even start. i have been able to bounce way up and see all kinds of things but it looks like everything i need to progress is behind the glass. any hint as to how i should start would be a help.

You did the alternative ending that SpKi was (hopefully) referencing. It's not all that different from what is intended, but since I'll have to do an update, I'll see about patching that. Otherwise, the different sequence you did revolving around the upper layer is logically good and slightly better than what I had intended. But since I decided to prevent the alt ending, I'll also patch that sequence. But the move at 0:50, no idea how to fix that but I'm up for the challenge.

Thanks for the insightful video!

Finally got the first cube the correct way. Very clever method. Great map, but I solved the rest of it in a somewhat different manner. Starts at Time 4:25 in your video ... https://youtu.be/BuqEwmgI3eY

No thats not intended, but how does that even work? At the end of the video, I see the laser flicker. Did you manage to bring the blue cube down enough to block the laser for a fraction of a second?

I am still fumbling around. That glich does not seem to help much. I managed to get the second cube, but it does not feel right. I had to position myself just right to get it.

To help avoid it, I noticed shooting a portal above or below the laser changes the micro-positioning of the portal.

It's not. Sorry, I'm not sure what is happening there. I even went through the effort to make that surface smaller and I added a portal magnet to avoid something like that.

Can I assume that this is not intended? ... https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/13275699137441413581/6A790F863BB0D4477429F473342B2658B3A7F597/

@Spki thanks for solving! Yes, there is a little bit of leeway with the ending area. I discovered the alternative very late in the process and decided it wasn't different enough to prevent.

fun stuff. i found two different ways to do the final small shuffle, im unsure if that part is known to allow some freedom. enjoyable nonetheless. i got stuck for way too long at the sequence with one cube, which is ironically enough harder to me than the double rc bit afterwards lol

Making a 2/10 named "Ma's Alt"

@NLuziaf thanks for your review! Let's make a 2/10

I can say one sequence is 2/10!

dawg please make a 2/10 or something

Is the poem in the description finally a trend? Oh boy yes please :3

Anyways, here is my honest review: It’s more like a 7.5-8 to me due to its length and how you crammed a bunch of creative moves into one single map. The part where you have to diagonally align the laser cube is something that’s not on my Bingo Card but it’s expected when I see the layout at first. I saw a bunch of parts you’ve taken from our previous collabs too, one of them is respawning the cube at different levels from OSoM . This chamber is definitely an odyssey and it deserves what it should get: a thumbs up and a favourite.
