Portal 2 Player Doesn't Think With Portals, Wins Anyway

[DaHero]

He just looked at things objectively.
Everything's better with lazers!

CAUTUION! LASERS!

 

[Charli]

Really people found that one hard? That was one of my easier ones. But then I probably found ones that others found to be a piss take stupidly difficult as well.

 

[Svenparty]

The way the title reads makes it sound like he NEVER used Portals....That is the ultimate challenge.

 

[Digikid]

Well poke me with a portal gun and call me cooked....

That was very well thought out.

 

[jakefongloo]

Well, that was damn clever.
This one was pretty difficult, but for some reason, i solved it really fast.
I'm not sure why, but i just looked at the 3 lasers and then randomly made a portal, and another one.
To my surprise, it actually worked.
Blind luck indeed, especially when playing with lasers.

Same On any other day this puzzle would have been hard as fuck for me. But i was just in the right mindset when I did it I guess. bang bang choo choo train done! The white gel however... 34 minutes i spent trying i guess a ninja solution, then when i did figure it out I probably had the best wtf moment on my face.

So is a 'No Portal' Run possible now? Not sure

Not even. You might find a few chambers like this that are possible for no portals, but you can't do the entire game without portals, not without cheating uber hard.

That puzzle took me the longest, iirc.

I think I managed it with my first portal placement (practically walked straight through the room without thinking). My stupidity factor did come to life later in the game though, where it took me 20 minutes to work out how to get from one ledge to another.

Solution? Blue portal on my side, orange portal on the other side.

I was concussed from the /headdesk that occurred a few seconds later.

Haha. Don't worry. I did the exact same thing near the end of the game with the room with the evacuation funnel and three turrets. Took me half hour to remember how portals work even though I been using them for the past 6 hours.

Spoiler: That was a shamelessly low and repugnant way to exploit the mechanics of the game and the trust of the helpful AI supervising your test...

...........I MUST HAVE HIS SECRETS!!!

 

[Sporky111]

I was expecting something more spectacular, really.

 

[duchaked]

LOL wow...had to laugh when I saw what the guy in the video did x.X

 

[WorldCritic]

A game called Portal where you don't even have to use portals to solve a puzzle. A bit ironic.

 

[infohippie]

most guys who think this puzzle is hard just got stuck on the obvious for too long.
when in fact, the obvious here, is wrong.
most people just assume you need to place the portal on the wall with the laser heading right for it.

Well, that's what I assumed too, and it worked. I placed the portal with the laser heading right for it, and the other portal in front of the middle receiver. Then I saw that the two cubes could be used to direct the other two lasers through at angles to hit the other two receivers.

I was hoping you'd make a funny joke.

At first I thought this was gonna be a story of how a guy went through the whole game without using on portal, or at least a very small amount of portals.

Sorry but the thing is...
<spoiler= Making a good pun is like trying to mind trick a Toydarian>
You just can't force it!

There you go!

Glad to see you haven't lost your touch.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

It was already an easy chamber to begin with. Still...thats a neat trick

 

[TerribleAssassin]

I'm shocked how many people found this puzzle hard, this was one the easiest puzzles in the game for me...

...I'm being "that guy" again arn't I?

I did as well, took me about two sets of Portals to get which lazers needed Portals.

And this is impressive, wonder how long it took him to work it out.

 

[stuhacking]

I am required by law to warn you that that last solution was looking pretty good.

The one with the blue gel too? Because that's the one I'm on about I think xD

I was losing my mind. Even when I eventually got across, it took me another 20 minutes to work out that I needed to drop down from the funnel to gain momentum.
