Portal Advanced Map #18 Turrets

This is the turret room of Advanced Map #18 in Portal. This room seems to be the subject of many questions, so I figured I would post my solution.

Obviously dying while attempting this method is quite easy, however I was also a little bit more reckless than necessary. The nice thing about it is it's very easy to execute.

Note: a faster and harder version can be seen here:

Excellent method to get the cube, but couldn't you just jump right back down and come up between the button and door? You'd need to fling yourself over to the button again to place the cube, but you'd skip getting shot at and crawling under the moving platform's piston.

Yes that is a great idea, and in fact if you follow the link in the video description that is exactly what I do. :)

However, you'll find with this method it's difficult to go fast and not get killed by the sentries. If you're going for an easy clear, this video's way of doing it is very easy. If you want a faster clear, the other way is harder and less reliable, but it is definitely fast.

@spore3006 you could have used the energy ball shooter to take em out like i did, it made the whole thing easier

Thanks. This is the last one i need. I've wasted too much time trying to figure it out

Now I threw a portal on the wall in the left corner behind it and one on the floor below and jumped into the portal below and as i fall replace the wall portal on the floor also so i fling up and into the cube room.

Man I figured out a much harder way to do this (or challenging, however you wanna look at it).

What I did was took the camera off the wall and flung it up at the gun, if I missed i portaled behind the lowest turret and snatched it and flung it at the turret. If I missed both then i suicided and tried it again. Then the furthest turret and portaled to grabbed it and portaled back out. Leaving me with only 1 turret (the closest one to the end of the unstationary platform ending).

Nice, I actually did something similar to this when I was looking at a way to get past the turrets.

[Mindbleach]

Oh hey, totally missed that. GG.

Good work scrub, must faster than mine but I killed the turrets!
