Portal: Chamber 17 Portal challenge gold

[97kevinhuanle]

EAR RAPE!!!!

[iRuvHateMair]

did it with 0 portals, bitches :D

wall jump without script ftw

[Sim155]

what about opening a portal in the room where are 4 cameras on the ground? ... i think 4 does more than 2 :P

"It's possible to do it with none, but that requires abuse of a physics glitch."

No it doesn't. It's true that most people would just wallclimb, but there's a vid by nubSawace of doing an absurdly difficult ball deflection, then another one. Then he jumps on there without cameras or the third platform. It's insane. But legit.

[guitarguybassdude]

You are NOT thinking with portals.

[armheadflujab]

i threw myself in, to save my cube...

[PeterFox1Punkt1]

lol

[juanmonchis]

i was trying to get thorugh this level without killing the COMPANION CUBE! so i got all the cameras and stucked them in the door to the button that opens the death chamber... and after i pushed the button i tried to grab one of those cameras so i could throw it inside instead of the my companion cube! but i died! i was electrocuted D:

[sassymouth41]

With the Companion Cube, anything is possible.

[LinusManning]

This is not the only way to do it with two portals. I put a blue portal at the first wall being hit by the ball(in this video it is behind the player at 00:37) then placed an orange portal at the protruding wall in front of the stacked cameras. Then I used the cube to bounce the ball in to the slanted receiver and the receiver in the black room. Then I used the cube and opened the doors to let the ball hit the last receiver. Then I walked through the orange portal and out blue portal upstairs.

[LinusManning]

I actually thought that was how to do it until I saw these videos with the camera stacking.

[enricokorderos]

Dear Christ! My speakers!  They just.....exploded!!

[phantom260]

use the cheat "create portal anywhere"... its easier.. here's the cheat for xbox360

y,a,b,a,b,y(2), a,left,right

[MCRmauricionvp]

this is the only correct way to do it

the glitch one doesnt count

great job!

[KewlxMunky]

I saw a video of someone who was jumping and pulling the cube up with them as they jumped and eventually got up the ledge with the cube.

[omnidye]

if the "abuse" of the "physics glitch" he mentions in the description is the one to which you refer, i don't see how his method is any more "legitimate."

[kman5473]

is that really the only way one can do it?

[pyramid07]

toooooo loud ---- my EARS>>>>>>>>

[rossmallo]

Just for the information of everyone having trouble doing this one - use your allotted portals to get into the room with all the companion cube photos - there's four cameras there, which can make it easier by making sure the camera pile doesent fall over.

[thecool1168]

you cheeter.. now I am going to try that.

[KrakenKid]

Great! Much better than those glitch abusing!

[RemoteLawl]

just finished this level thought i would stack the cameras lmfao it worked! looks like it worked for you to =)

[KakashiSensei925]

I never would have thought of using the cameras... can anyone confirm if this works the same on the 360?

[TheWh4T]

It can.

[dlind70]

Companion cube destroyer :'{

[mrpopztommygnosis]

HEY YOU DID IT TOO!!

[llNeevall]

Thanks alot for that one, because the other "jump glitch thing" doesnt work for me...

[Keukenhufter]

Very clever nice job

[UltimateRAGEX]

nice i'll try that but on my xbox 360 version!

[AnEternalEnigma]

Jesus Christ, learn how to encode audio.

[DaiSekkou]

I never bitched about the cube-jump glitch; I actually think it's kinda cool and resourceful. However, this one here is even more beautiful. Nicely done. (now I feel like an idiot because of all the time I spent hitting the ball with the cube in order to beat it using 2 portals)

[scrolldownscrollup]

the jump can be made with only raising 2 platforms, no need for the third

[ELkuken]

Did you know compressing the sound doesn't save much file size?

[Jetsetlemming]

It's FRAPs fucking up the sound, not anything I did to the video. I don't know why it records in such bad quality. Since the Source demo recorder doesn't work with Portal yet, and I couldn't get GameCam to work either, I didn't exactly have an alternative option.

[bitcoredotorg]

That nasty noise you hear is clipping - not compression EG: the sound is to loud and the peaks are being digitally shaved off into maximum level = DC bursts = nasty sounding. Turn your audio levels down on the selected recording device - typically it should be around 10% to record levels equal to what they were in playback.

[AntiOwnage]

You can get more cameras by going into the place behind the platform thing.

[discjockykid]

O__O wow it was that easy... my way was much more complicated XD. I put a portal on the first wall the energy ball hits and one on the wall that is extended. Then I got the ball in the bracket thing in the one room by bouncing it off the cube. The next one I did normally, stick it on the switch and stand on the other. The last one I had to position the cube JUST right so that it would it it, and bounce around enough for me to grab the cube and get on the last platform before it started moving.

[MasterNorris]

this is the right way but show us how to do it in 1:27 to get gold!!!

[Jetsetlemming]

I'll work on the time challenges next. Don't expect to see me doing the step challenges ever, though, I hate 'em. ;)

[MasterNorris]

^^ I figured out a good way of doing the step thing with just one camera - you can actually put the camera upside down on the floor instead of just putting it sideways on the ground - it will be still high enough and a good base for the companion cube - try it once

[tomninetythree]

this is the best way i've seen so far. the box jumping way is just exploiting to hell, and the reflecting into the catcher is very long and complex. this is beautiful.

[nicklitt]

This one will last. This is better than using the box-jump bug. I wonder how else you do it, like legitimately, without using cameras as stairs or the box jump with only 2 portals

[TomTheEgo]

You place a portal at the first wall after metal stairs and one on the extended wall at the bottom. You have to use the box to hit the particle into the reciever on a slant then you can make it to the exit.

[mflux]

LMFAO!!! NO WAY!! :D Finally.. someone found a use for the cameras in the puzzles. Big props!!
