Semi-blindrun (at least 4 years since I've played, took a break starting from late 2019)
Kinda discovered the solution by accident. Dumb that I didn't see it previously. :P
I, and many others it seems, strongly disagree with the below comment however. It's slightly quick, but most people with the dexterity required to play video games in the first place can perform the move even given just a few tries. It's far from a "ninja" move, which mapmakers like Mevious strive to avoid as much as possible.

Difficulty: 3.5/10
Design: 9/10
Enjoyed: 7.25/10

I did not care for this puzzle, due mostly to the final sequence that has to be done in 1 go. That is a ninja acrobatic move that most will tire of trying, even after watching the video.

This is a fantastic puzzle! You can kinda airstrafe under grey columns and hit your head to reduce speed. It seems like a red herring and detracts from the map's elegance (maybe make grey columns higher so you can never bump them).

Cool puzzle, you can skip the first room by shooting a precise portal on the white panel in the glass tube while flying over the glass platform

That was ridiculously cool, another simple puzzle with a surprisingly out-of-the-box solution. Love it!

That to longer than it should have done, again! :steamthumbsup: 11/22

Honestly, I like your maps in this collection the most. This one is great as well! Got stumped a bit on the second part, but managed to figure it out on my own. Very satisfactory one.
StackSmasher789 19 mai. 2022 às 4:22 
Second one needs a bit of quick movement but overall fairly easy

Loved it. Short but sweet.

You had all the makings of a good puzzle, so that was a bit disappointing when it was kind of bad :/

When less is more.

I wish I could've solved this on my own. Sadly, this is another map from Portal Pro (actually two combined, Momentum and Momentum Advanced) and in that mod I solved both of them by waiting for air resistance to slow me down... then I watched the intended solution on YouTube later.

At that time, I didn't know there was a Portal 2 version. Note that waiting for air resistance won't help you here, since the engine works differently. At least that seems to be the case for me.

A very unique map where you have to *reduce* your momentum, which is not commonly seen in flinging maps. Recommended, even if executing the last bit is slightly tricky. ;)

Big fan of the No Elements series. I share the solutions along with some other solve techniques in the video link below. Thanks Mevious

nice idea !
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm 25 jul. 2019 às 6:25 
A year later, yet again. Might actually have been even breezier.
Galactic Jack 23 abr. 2019 às 23:40 
Clever!
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm 11 jul. 2018 às 13:34 
Tried it again one year later. I remembered that I had to reduce my momentum, but not how. I probably had the solution in the back of my head though, 'cause it was fairly breezy.
jandlml 17 jun. 2018 às 20:23 
yay im learning. i got it by myself. good one!
XYHC 18 abr. 2018 às 14:18 
Great puzzle! It was pretty easy actually. Had to mess with all the stuffs in the room a couple of times to figure it out :P
bullfrog 26 fev. 2018 às 11:25 
Clever, but I didn't work it out, looked at the walkthrough :(
Секретариат 18 fev. 2018 às 5:31 
Это пока лучшая карта, которую я проходил в этом году
DarkCloud 21 jan. 2018 às 4:24 
Thanks for the map. My favourite in the series: Elegant design, challenging concept. Great work.

реально неожиданно. спасибо
MmmmmmhHHHhhhhhhmmmm 27 abr. 2017 às 5:44 
I would never have figured this one out if I didn't look at the walkthrough. I've NEVER come across a map where you'd have to REDUCE your momentum.
adamu 23 nov. 2016 às 0:22 
...and got it. That required a method I'd never used before, nice.
adamu 23 nov. 2016 às 0:12 
Walks into second chamber, *mind blown*. And also, stuck. Going to have to come back to this one I think. :-)
zigzagtenniscoe 28 ago. 2016 às 16:25 
One thing tho, on the walls beside the large pit instead of the portalable surface only going up by 1 it go up by 2. Why is that? I even tried using it as a way to solve the test but then I found out the intended way...
zigzagtenniscoe 28 ago. 2016 às 16:24 
This one actually took me a while to figure out! Unique in the way that you actually have to control your momentum rather than going full blast. I was stuck in the second chamber for a while because I couldn't figure out how to get the momentum I needed without being in a place where I couldn't shoot anything decent... but then I realized there is in fact spaces where you can get the original momentum from dropping into the large pit and keep it, these are the portalable floors with no portalable ceiling above them, That was my missing key, I'm glad I found it now. Very nice puzzle, I honestly didn't think these could get much harder but I guess they could! Forces you to think about all the spaces you can use at all..
Dr_Sensei 18 jun. 2016 às 20:00 
Love the puzzles you do, I'm about 30-40% successful without having to look on a Mevious puzzle; very nicely done.
Petutski 20 mai. 2016 às 14:58 
Excellent demonstration of controlled momentum. Played this map two years ago and called it "ninja not logic". I take that back now as once the logic was planned for, the portal placement was pretty easy. Show what a little experience can do. Thanks!

Nice, as usual. I think this is the only room where I've seen this momentum.
Pamsy 12 dez. 2015 às 21:46 
Terrific! Like the invention of negative numbers. Hint: Don't hit the ceiling, go through the ceiling.
Ultimaximus 6 dez. 2015 às 12:34 
There are so few maps where you have too much momentum and you need to reduce it, rather than vice versa
don caballero 23 ago. 2015 às 17:59 
So great...

Great No elements test again. This is a great series of maps. This map no different. Thumbs up!

excellent chamber!
lfairban 8 jun. 2014 às 13:32 
This one is really tricky. It took me a while to exicute the solution once I figured it out. I did quick saves while swinging throught floor portals.
HeliGungir 6 jun. 2014 às 20:21 
I managed a ninja way (placing a ground and an angle portal in a split second) before I realized the easy way shown by Metzger Ben's video: http://youtu.be/Hn8-zgPgd8M

Then I beat it by pit -> bunnyhop across the room -> place portals for the jump
Then by pit -> vertical jump -> airstrafe to plaform
^_^
tu7650x 26 mai. 2014 às 20:53 
Brilliant, as usual. The hardest so far in terms of reflexion required to solve it. Totally kicked my ass for a while but finally solved it. Loved it.

PS: nowhere near ninja.... You just have to think and the solution is not hard to execute once you figure it out.
Petutski 23 mar. 2014 às 12:08 
Very cool.... but not logic....ninja.
7uk454n 7 mar. 2014 às 10:17 
genius. took me a long while to solve that 2nd part. momentum!!!!
stormsend 25 fev. 2014 às 14:52 
I liked it. Once you figure out the physics, it's a snap. Of course that's easier said than done. Thanks.
«[ČĻĻ]» pino 24 jan. 2014 às 8:20 
Solved it like ken.roberts. Nice map, but not one of my favorite ones. Thanks.
luckylluck2 19 jan. 2014 às 12:27 
amazing! first time i overshot something !
MetaMagi 15 jan. 2014 às 18:21 
Solved this, but I have no idea if I did it in the intended way. It felt a bit glitchy, the way I did it, involving weird game physics near portals.
