- Take the camera out of the room and place it in front of the button door.
- Open the door so that the camera gets wedged in the door, then step off the button.
- Go over to the door and, through the opening, shoot a portal.
- Shoot a portal outside and go through it.
- Complete momentum puzzle as normal. (I think you can do something with the camera that launches you but I’m not sure if that’s source unpack exclusive, but I remember seeing someone get launched across the room) If none of that made sense, watch one of my inbounds runs. It’s one of the few tricks I utilise.

The reasoning for allowing this is to make the ne
