No Elements 18: Annexation

Semi-blindrun (at least 4 years since I've played, took a break starting from late 2019)
Probably the most interesting/hardest of the main No Elements series, besides maybe Potential Energy. You'll see the areas where I had to think about what to do in the above playthrough. I'm not so hot on the tough angle at the end, if that's even the intended solution, but still a great chamber all in all considering the "no elements" constraint. First time I played this I think I was stuck for a while.

Difficulty: 5.5/10
Enjoyed: 7.75/10

Nice one 18 down, 4 to go.

In this test I had to use the technique where I place blue and orange Portals on the floor panel next to each other, since my aiming wasn't so good.

Note how I said, I used that technique! Because the floor panels are always large enough to do this! There is no force whatsoever to do everything in one go. And it can't be avoided, that's the most important part. The floor panels are that large for exactly that reason. Oh, and probably also for optics, but that's a neat side effect.

OK, this one needed some pretty delicate timing. This is fine, because said timing is used for genuinely clever things, but it's a bit of a departure from what Mevious does in this collection. Then again, you aren't Mevious, and variety is good...

All of the individual tricks here I've seen before, but they're pretty neatly disguised here. Feels a bit like a summary of previous techniques at the end of a game.

Making that last shot through the grate was a fun touch. ;)

So I'm not sure I solved this chamber as intended. I've seen a few people using ninja moves to replace the portal on the ceiling on the other side of the room... , but I found this wasn't actually necessary. What I ended up doing was similar but here goes: I placed one portal on the ceiling, one on the floor by the tilted panel, I then jumped through the portal, swapped the one on the other side of the room (as intended I believe), then as I came out of the floor, I managed to land on the edge of the clear wall. I then replaced the ceiling portal on the other side, jumped through the floor portal and finished as I think intended. Great chamber!

This was pretty cool. The twist at the end took a couple minutes to notice / figure out.

Looks a bit overwhelming at first glance. Very fun chamber though.

weee shoot right through that exit door!
