#PORTAL RELOADED FINAL CHAMBER MOD#

Hint: Do you need another Weighted Storage Cube to open the exit? Well, if you do, then thankfully, there are portal-able surfaces near your location so you can quickly relocate them.

Hint: If you’re stuck getting the Weighted Storage Cube, you’re probably thinking too hard about it.

Hint: Just like the last chamber… you don’t need another Aerial Faith Plate, since you already have one in the present.

Hint: There are portal-able surfaces on both of the ledges with the Thermal Discouragement Beam Emitters.

Don’t worry, you have another one in the present.

Hint: The future Aerial Faith Plate is disabled.

Hint: Good news: normal portals aren’t affected by Time Portal Activation Grills.

Now figure out what to do with the other three.

Hint: Notice that there are four angled panels in this room.

The two points being, the second Thermal Discouragement Beam Relay and the second Thermal Discouragement Beam Receptacle.

Hint: A straight line can be formed from two points.

Hint: There is a portal-able surface behind the first Thermal Discouragement Beam Relay.

You must use them both to get to the Discouragement Redirection Cube.

Hint: There are two Thermal Discouragement Beams.

Hint: The Material Emancipation Grill should be a non-issue since you have time portals.

Hint: This puzzle can be solved with just Thermal Discouragement Beams aligned along the basic cardinal directions (ie.

Hint: Your portals in the future are necessary here.

Good, otherwise you would not be able to solve this puzzle.

Hint: Thermal Discouragement Beams travel through time portals.

Hint: The only situation where you need to be holding the future cube is when you move it to the Heavy Duty Super Button that opens the exit.

But maybe there’s something else that needs a bit of good timing. This is completely redundant and has nothing to do with the puzzle.

Hint: Look at the blue clock next to the button, which ticks down after you press it.Hint: After pressing the first two buttons, travel to the future… then back again to get to the third button.So you need to be quick! Well… not really, if you have your portals in the right place. Hint: There’s not a portal-able surface on the ledge with the button, but you don’t need one there to travel between timelines easily.They give great indication on what you are supposed to do. Hint: Not enough momentum? Using three portals instead of two may help in gaining some more.Hint: Use portals in the future to relocate yourself without moving portals in the present.Hint: Moving through a Material Emancipation Grill in the future does not affect your portals in the present.It made me feel like I was just playing Portal 1 for the first time again, because it all felt new and confusing!įor fans of Portal 1 and 2, this is a fantastic additional map-pack that offers a rewarding challenge. The music is quite subdued, but sits nicely in the background as you wrap your brain around the puzzles.įor fans of Portal 1 and 2, this is a fantastic additional map-pack that offers a rewarding challenge. It also changes subtly as you move between the 2 timelines. There's also a brand new soundtrack by the developer, which sets the tone nicely and seamlessly loops as you play through the chambers. Shooting the third 'time' portal has its own customizable key-bind, and there is a new UI button that displays all of your portals and cubes across timelines in the world. Every portal now emits its own light, so your portals light up the area around them.

The mod also features some neat custom scripting and asset work.

If you mess up, you can restart in seconds, so it isn't frustrating. There are some time-based puzzles where you need to be fairly quick, but the time given is fair, and nothing ever requires 'ninja' reflexes to solve. Environment design is great, transitioning seamlessly between shiny, pristine present chambers, and dingy overgrown future ones in real-time through the time-portals. Puzzle designs are very clever, and all the chamber elements are logically laid out before you, subtly guiding you to where your attention is needed.

The game also offers hints and reminders if you get too stuck early on. Each step of the way it teaches you how the new mechanics function, setting you up for the rest of the game. The intro chambers do a great job of slowly building up the difficulty. I performed the Announcer voice for the mod, but was only able to play the final release, and it has been a blast to play through blind along with everyone else. Portal: Reloaded was created entirely by a single developer. Solving the puzzles with not only the usual 2 portals, but a third 'time' portal, and by extension, 3 and 4 future portals, will definitely provide a challenge, but it's very rewarding and filled with 'aha!' moments.
