Portal 2 Walkthrough: Chapter 8: Smashy-Smash in Wheatley's Test Chamber 16 (in 1080p HD)

Portal 2 Video #35: Chapter 8 (The Itch): Smashy-Smash in Wheatley's Test Chamber 16 (Single Player)


Welcome to my Portal 2 walkthrough in 1080p HD! For best viewing quality, click the fullscreen button in the YouTube player, then select 1080p, or "original" for even better than 1080p.

This one is a real stumper. I have an excursion funnel with a reverse button, along with blue repulsion gel separated by a 5000-meter dropoff. Three turrets guard the exit, which is way over on the other side of yet another dropoff. I use an excursion funnel to shuttle repulsion gel, and I hop into the funnel for the ride... I get back to the entrance where I need to be, then I reverse the gel, then realign the exit portal, then reverse it again to plop it on the turrets and bounce them into oblivion. I also show you how to SMASH the Wheatley monitor in this one (It's very tough!)

It’s pretty crazy how many generations is gonna get stuck on this level and look this up.

6:16 - Thats the moment when I though "ok, level done...wait, what? Angled? Fsck!"

[JackAttack]

the first level i got stuck on... thanks

The most interesting part was your persistence attempts for breaking Wheatley's monitor.

[willsighner]

That's so simple! I tried covering the entire level in blue gel and trying to bunny hop over to where the turrets used to be. It was an extremely frustrating process. Thank you very much Culveyhouse.

Aperture runs on Windows 98. Make of that whatever you will.

After 11 years i watch this video, because I CAN'T FINISH THIS LEVEL.

FYI: When bouncing the turrets up, catching them in the orange beam doesn't work. Caught 2 turrets but they were both broken. 😩 Thought I was doing something wrong even when leaving that one turret. If If go into that back corner away from the last turret it can't hit you when you go up.

This is the shit where I have been stuck for four years...

[tortellini]

Thank you, this chamber was difficult for me.

Wow. This was the only chamber I got totally stuck on. SUPER frustrating! I had no idea the gel would make the turrets start bouncing when they were just sitting there. It doesn't make sense - Chell doesn't start bouncing if gel falls on her, only when she jumps. I guess the bouncing cube from way earlier was supposed to teach us that, but I totally forgot about that - only remembered after a comment on another video. And I didn't think of jumping into the funnel BEFORE the gel - so there was no way I could reverse the funnel direction. All I could think to do was use the funnel to fling myself through a portal to the side of the three turrets, and hope I could take all three out without dying. I tried like 20 times, but it never worked, so I figured I must be missing something.
This was a badly designed test chamber, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, since it was the last proper test chamber. I never needed a walk-through for a chamber before this, and I was looking forward to solving the next one myself, but then it was just the end.

only level i got stuck on now i feel ashamed of checking a yt tutorial it seems so easy from your perspective

[draagon]

I came here after getting stuck when replaying the portal games after a few years... turns out I already had this video liked. This chamber really is hard as hell!

[gamespace]

Thx man after 10 years first time getting stuck

[pmd]

I love the batman style home made sound effects when you place any gel on a surface. I think "Splarf" is my fav.

[adamparlett]

Holy mother of god I couldn't figure this one out. Thank you sir. I hate that I had to cheat but I was losing my shit lol

[hommeboy]

I feel like shit having to look up a walkthrough, but this one had me truly stumped...

[baileyswitalla]

Not tryin to be wierd but my firemds and i call the repulsion jell 'smurf jiz'

[RemoEzeWindowsFava]

0:55 oh shut up in a distored microphone

[ZGURemixer]

I DIDN'T THINK USING THE GEL TO KILL THE TURRETS WOULD ACTUALLY WORK. THANK YOU.
