Portal 2 - Chapter 8, Chamber 11 level skip via flying glitch

UPDATE! DemonStrate went OoB with this glitch shortly after my discovery. See it here:

Just found a neat trick where you can fly via crouching, getting stuck in the ceiling, then jumping. It might help in speed runs. I'm not sure if anyone else found this already.

sweet!

experimented a bit after reading this ... turns out crouch-flying works even if there's no ceiling button, as long as you can ride the funnel to the ceiling ... like in the upper chamber of wheatley's first test ("Funnel Intro" in challenge mode) ... so you can just float over and grab the frankencube instead of portaling (did this on the 360, btw)

@hermeticks yea, there's been a lot of work done with this glitch after I first found it. You can fly out of horizontal funnels, and you can even activate a state of zero gravity that carries over between chambers. The funniest part is that this glitch still works even after several updates, even though other big speedrunning glitches like reportal have been patched out.

Does this work on the Xbox 360 version? I haven't been able to get it to work.

@SSBMaster11 I only have played the PC version so I can't confirm, but Paraxade has used the glitch for speed tricks on the PS3 version so I see no reason why it wouldn't work on 360.

My fuck, man. The game hasn't even been out for a week, and you're already casually breaking shit >.>;;

This is why we can't have nice things.
