Hey there

My name is Tiard and I recently started to learn speedrunning portal. Ive taken it chamber by chamber but now im stuck in test chamber 07.

Its pretty simple its the one where you need to jump in the orange portal and while in the air shoot one the wall to the left and fling out on the platform.

The problem is that I can't seem to get enough speed and I always land right on front of it. Also probably worth noting is that when I jump in the orange portal for the first time I crouch aswell because otherwise I hit the side of the portal and then I can't land in the portal again. I don't know if this is the problem but I can't seem to make the jump otherwise without hitting a side of a portal.

I watched some people do it and looked at several vids but I still don't seem to get enough speed.

Maybe someone knows the problem?

Edit: I quickly recorded it. Sorry about the quality

In your case, you'd need to move further down the staircase to jump into orange and yes you do crouch.

Also are you using portal funneling or not, that can sometimes affect falling into orange the second time.

I new to this game to. What ive found is if you stand between the bottom and second bottom step and jump in the portal you get enough speed to make it

Hey there

Ive been trying it out now I got it once :D And also do you play with funneling off or on?

If you have portal funneling on you have to hold W the entire time in a fling otherwise you get pulled to the ground and loose heigth.

'What ive found is if you stand between the bottom and second bottom step and jump in the portal you get enough speed to make it' LOL, it's been known for quite a while. Place a portal as shown on many videos With portal funneling on, jump from the stairs, crouch midair, shoot circa 30 HU below the ceiling midair as soon as you pass the orange portal.

@Tiard

late reply, but i find playing 06/07 inbounds without portal funneling makes it easier for me so i'd recommend that.

Audio requirements

Startong today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
