Did you ever hear someone might Love someone else and Hate him/her in the same time ??...that's my feeling after I solved test...I even don't know who am I feeling it about ! .. maybe You ?? : )

I'll never forget this beautiful map. I couldn't guess this last trick with funnel. then i went to shop and while i was walking I solved in my mind :D

lama Apr 20 @ 3:15pm

took a while to solve. very good.

Spaceminnow Mar 9 @ 5:47pm

This one had me for awhile... I am able to solve it :) Satisfying feeling after the solve. The very hard difficulty rating is correct in my opinion. This one is going to favorites.

SpielSatzFail Feb 15 @ 3:00pm

Oh - my - god... another great idea that needs your full attention... I suspected that there's something with thinking outside the box and remembering the first cubes, but I didn't make it that far and watched the playthrough - wow!
Nevertheless I found a tiny glitch: in the last room, I was able to put both me and the cube in the tractor beam (left side) by jumping from the cube into the beam and then pulling the cube up to me.

Sacrificing the Laser cube and getting a new one...the only reasonable variant :)

raizen_nrv Aug 23, 2015 @ 8:52pm

I made a video so you can understand my concern. I apologize for the awful quality, but I suck at making videos : https://youtu.be/8T80h2n9sC8

raizen_nrv Aug 23, 2015 @ 8:46pm

And trust me, I've sacrificed a lot of cubes but just couldn't get it to work. Another thing is, usually everything is always there for a reason, but it seems like there was a thing completely useless on the 3rd area (you can perfectly finish the 3rd area without interupting any fizzler except obviously the ending).

raizen_nrv Aug 23, 2015 @ 8:45pm

I wasted so much time trying to figure if there was something related with that "fizzler" on the 3nd area that would leads me to the solution. But no.

raizen_nrv Aug 23, 2015 @ 8:07pm

The first area : I didn't think I could portal the funnel from the ending of the 1st area. Thus getting my cube without moving from here... I was portaling "everywhere" til I could get the cube to the end but then I wasn't able to portal the funnel. Was stuck so bad. This is like the 2nd map I couldn't solve without the help of the playthrough... (1st was obviously Mevious)

Asha Man Aug 22, 2015 @ 6:12am

One of the best ever. You and Mevious are are scary good.

K1ndness Aug 21, 2015 @ 6:12am

Brilliant!!!Very very perfect!!!

Haslem #40 Aug 8, 2015 @ 11:44pm

So very minor spoiler on a game mechanic. I didn't realize you could pick up a cube through the chain link fence . I actually tried almost the exact solution I found on youtube before looking it up but it didn't work out because I didn't try to pick up the cube through the chain link fence, instead I jumped into the gravity beam and tried to push the cube against the beam then close the portal but that does not work. At least I think I would have gotten it had I known.

Legendary Jul 19, 2015 @ 9:33am

That map was awesome. :D I don't understand how it's considered "hard" though. I found it rather simple.

Ani Apr 10, 2015 @ 10:58pm

"very hard" Yeah, no kidding. Very cute. -_-

Tony Apr 9, 2015 @ 5:15pm

Thanks @quaternary

That was just enough clue for the ending bit!

danne11man Mar 7, 2015 @ 2:40pm

Good work keep it up :D

EuroSong Feb 18, 2015 @ 12:47pm

Wow. Had me stumped for a while before I finally got it! All the best puzzles are like that - and yours is right up there with the finest of them :)

D3M!5 Feb 14, 2015 @ 1:40am

If I win a billion dollars, I'll hire you and Mevious to lead some kind of creative company of your choice. That's a promise :-) One of the best maps I've played this is..

LoneWolf2056 [author] Feb 13, 2015 @ 9:51am

@jsCP94 Congrats on beating it in the end, hope I didnt drive you too crazy xD

jsCP94 Feb 12, 2015 @ 5:38pm

Without a doubt, the hardest map I have ever played; took me about 4 hours to solve. I was wondering why there was that lone panel in the second area. Anyway, kudos to you.

40ozKilla Jan 11, 2015 @ 4:28pm

Excellent map. Took me a while to figure it out. Not sure if I used the correct method. I didnt use the light bridge in the 3rd area for anything. I went back into the first room and respawned the cube there, exchanged that cube for the laser cube then used the funnel from the first room to get the laser cube again and continued using the first room funnel for the exit. Very challenging, visually appealing. A strong thumbs up with this one!

Kirdor Dec 5, 2014 @ 3:35pm

Oh man. This is this kind of map when you just have to yell when you finally get to the end with every cubes and you in the same room.
Good job on this, keep going please.

Chelliste Nov 29, 2014 @ 10:23pm

Outstanding. I don't know the minimum number of times various cubes must be re-spawned, but I'm sure I tripled it in figuring out the right combination and sequence.

xxtern Sep 29, 2014 @ 11:32am

Awesome chamber! Very nice and interesting puzzle.

quaternary Sep 1, 2014 @ 2:16pm

Hint for people stuck at the end - can you get the laser box again with a funnel instead of a bridge? there's 3 main areas and you solve five of them...

VΛ² Aug 13, 2014 @ 7:50am

spent hours. even me myself don't know if I used special ninja trick to spoil the map. seems not.

TS_Mind_Swept Jul 25, 2014 @ 3:53pm

well i was absolutely stuck, and i watched Selyp's playthrough and i was all "omt DUH!" that last part, you've dooped us all man! 8.5/10

YUKI_67 Jun 30, 2014 @ 7:04am

Résolu. Mais il faut vraiment bien connaitre le fonctionnement des funnels pour trouver la fin. Bon difficile test, merci !

tu7650x Apr 30, 2014 @ 5:45pm

What a great puzzle!!... Kept me thinking for a while.Thanks a lot, this is high quality work. BTW the lighting at the beginning of the map is absolutely exquisite

Fawty.Two Apr 5, 2014 @ 9:01am

Excellent. This is definitely the my favourite of the dilapidation series. You're a very talented map designer and test chamber creator. It took me days to work out the final piece of this puzzle.

May I shamelessly plug my latest chamber?

LoneWolf2056 [author] Mar 31, 2014 @ 5:35am

@TheDarkMuffin - Thanks, glad you enjoyed and congrats on solving, its definitely the toughest in the series :)

thedeliriousdonut Mar 30, 2014 @ 6:36pm

Wow, this happens to be one of those puzzles that has a sort of...strange, intuitiveness to it while still being difficult enough to make the solver feel like they're special and unique. I absolutely love it.

rob Mar 19, 2014 @ 12:08pm

Very, very clever. The last part was brilliant and very difficult. How do work theses things out? Great work!

enumag Jan 25, 2014 @ 2:54pm

One of the best chambers ever. Especially the final part, took me a while to figure out which funnel to use and which cube can be sacrificed.

Long Stride Dec 15, 2013 @ 1:27am

This is a brilliant map. You sir, have bested me.

TDK necron 2010™ Dec 11, 2013 @ 7:11pm

not sure i did the one chamber right but opening the final door took me a good half hour.

$HILLARY BENGHAZI'D MY EMAILS! Nov 14, 2013 @ 1:14pm

Wow -- what an epic, challenging, rewarding puzzle. One of the best I've ever played.

[ExR]-IAMV0LDY Nov 5, 2013 @ 7:19am

Great map! It's quite hard and the final part is incredible!
The only suggestion I can give you is to find a way to differentiate the two cubes (maybe put one companion cube?) since it's really easy to confuse em. I'm not sure if this really matters for the final solution since you are supposed to use the laser cube that's already different but at a point i ended up fizzling the wrong cube and this destroyed the strategy I had in mind and because it would take so long to recoer the cube you should hope to have a good save...
Anyway great job again, check my maps (expecially the "impossible" one) in case you too wanted to paly an hard map ;)

mechtakendall Nov 4, 2013 @ 5:16pm

Brilliant puzzle, pretty neat backtracking going on. Thumbs up. Design 9/10 Difficulty 7/10

shieldsy Oct 21, 2013 @ 10:55pm

I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very satisfying. On with life..........................

Garunas Oct 15, 2013 @ 9:11am

Awesome test chamber :) Could you try mine? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=180312984

da_adesso_tabjones2 Oct 8, 2013 @ 9:36am

Awesome. A very clever work. Only one problem: in the 3th room it's possible to bypass the lightbridge entering in the funnel jumping on the button of the cubes dispenser, maybe you can bring the button more away to avoid this . (sorry for my poor english)

Ale Oct 6, 2013 @ 8:08am

Great puzzle, thank you!

Relo@d Oct 2, 2013 @ 12:20pm

How can you dream up all these fantasic puzzles?? This is another awesome map. I never get dissapointed with your work. Really hard puzzle and beautiful design and surroundings! Far more tricky that the game and really so beautiful that I do not need Portal 3 (if its a plan for that) Hope the creators hire you for designing upcoming games! I only miss some friendly speaches from Glados since I feel lonley all the time it takes to beat your awesome puzzles! :-) *****

Mr Plow Sep 17, 2013 @ 1:11pm

Sir, you are the king of back-tracking. You could have worked on Tomb Raider with those skills. I like when you have to use an earlier element that you may have forgotten about to get to the final solution.

p0rtalmaster Sep 5, 2013 @ 10:16pm

...and finished! Great work!

p0rtalmaster Sep 5, 2013 @ 10:11pm

I'm pretty sure I trapped myself in the third room in an attempt to solve the test :P

Unowninator Sep 5, 2013 @ 4:16pm

Very tough, although I would like to say that I accidentally trapped myself in room 3. After bringing the cube outside the room, I wanted to go back inside for the funnel. But I accidentally took the wrong cube, so when I hit the dispensor (SP?) button, the red laser grid blocked the exit so I couldn't get out. I felt you should knoew.
