I'm not googling this on purpose, because I don't want spoilers :)

I've sometimes spent ages trying to solve a puzzle only then to go :slap: on how simple it was. Other times I solved a puzzle very quickly and it'd have been very complicated.

I tend to go for the complicated and overlook the simple.

My problem is that I am stuck at Chapter 6: The Fall, here's a screenshot of the "entry point" so you'd recognize it:


What I want to know is this:

1) Is it one of the difficult levels ? (Yes or no?)
2) Do I need to put a portal high up and another on the floor and need momentum to jump? (Yes or no?) -- I've been trying this but perhaps I'm not finding the right angles.
3) Do I need to shoot portals while in the air (Yes or no?)

Please answer only yes or no to the above, I don't want too much info :eek:

Thanks.

I'll have to go back and play that level, because I honestly don't remember it just by the screenshot.:laugh:

Edit: In the mean time here is a spoiler free walkthrough that might help: http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/portal_2.txt

Obviously, only use it in situations like this where you are really really suck, otherwise it makes the game kind of unfun...

However, if you don't want to use it for the solution, and just want a hint, give me a few minutes and I'll run through the level again and give you hints, but not the solution.;)

If it can help you remember, as soon as you enter that enormous hall part of the "aperture" logo hanging from the roof falls down to the ground. (It's the part which looks like an atom which falls down). If you zoom the pic you can see the dropped part very near to my in-game cursor, slightly south-west.

Gerelt got it.

Another hint, you fly through the Apeture logo to get to the end.;)

Thanks!

That's enough hints for now. I've been trying to fly through the aperture logo actually... didn't get the correct angle.. probably :)

This was the exact level I was having trouble with. I always had the portal at the wrong place but had the idea right. I didn't find out until I asked a friend...

Yup, I got stuck there as well. Took me like 40 minutes and then it clicked. I was determined to not look up guides or hints for it.

Same with me, I did it now, I had the right idea what to do but always put the portals in not exactly the right places!

The effect of doing this one was so cool I replayed it like 4 times :)
