Edit: This is how I solved it on my first run... Some setups can be made much easier,

Heh, glad you shot one cube out from under the other... It's in that gray area where I wonder if I've missed something much more obvious ^^

Jacu: wow there's some unexpected stuff in that screenshot. I think Xtreger was doing something like that in pre-testing but I never understood it until now. I've followed your recipe to raise the ramp but right now I have no idea how you restarted the laser from there. Very curious about that.

marKiu: also very unexpected methods in there. Mine is a bit different, without throwing or shoving. Easier for noob players like me to execute

I surrender - this is a bit much. Not used to very hard puzzles in Portal 2 yet Just you wait though, I'll practise with other hard maps, and then solve future maps like these!

Anyway, great map. It certainly fulfills the purpose it was built for. I'll try out your previous maps (or you can recommend which map of yours would be good practice)

Ok here is my solution video. Lots of small differences from what you guys have done, but the general idea is the same.

I just solved the first room and I enjoyed it a lot. I currently have one of the cubes from the first room in the second and portal with laser with me. I still haven't managed to turn the second laser on and I will continue this later.

Great challenge and really well thought out map.

I'm curious. How do you manage to make maps of this difficulty? Do you plan things in advance very well or how do you do it?

5/5 from me and I will try to finish it later.

That sure is a nice map you got there. It would be a shame if someone broke it.

Haha, you make it look so easy! Seeing it done properly, there's a beautiful almost machine like quality to the last bit.
Don't suppose there's any real reason to post my part1 solution, but I've been bored...
