Ben172 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I hate this so much... i was only about 4 away from getting all gold then i tried this on the impossible ones. But i might have done it wrong and now it set my gold challenges to 0 and it made it so i can't do any challenges. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooklyn Banks Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 It works. All you need to do is save before the end, then start a new game, then relaod, then the game will load with the cheats off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftyK42 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 So you don't need to clear cache? that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentyu Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 nope works fine i got stuck on the last challenge for least portals (where you have to go up the 5 or so platforms above the acid/poison liquid) couldn't get the portals to go where i wanted them and had to do 4 moves with 3 portals so tested the portal anywhere cheat on that total bitch of a level and now i'm going to do the rest without cheats but for those who can't be bothered or just can't do it, it works 100% (at least on least portals anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundryman Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's not that hard to do it without cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Kyuss Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's not that hard to do it without cheats. That may be true but for others whose stats keep getting deleted (me for example) it seriously is a pain in the ass to keep doing over and over again. Props to anyone who successfully did it w/o the stupid glitch popping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilestBean Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I watched some of the videos on youtube on how to do the levels using least steps and OMG its looks soooo hard some of the levels are done so quick using the portal gun and also it would take me ages to know where to put the portals to get to a certain place or to get an item to a certain place, i can just about deal with the least portal challenges lol.

DevilGuy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks, this works well for the least portals, but what about the least time and least steps? Hehe, someone's gonna have to find a way to do those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androsmere Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks, this works well for the least portals, but what about the least time and least steps? Hehe, someone's gonna have to find a way to do those These cheats actually work really well for "least steps" because you can skip a lot of the level sometimes by placing a portal where you normally couldn't. On the "least time" challenges, when you start the level save immediately, like in the first second. Then take your time entering the cheats you are going to use. Then reload that save you made in the first second of the level. All of your cheats should still be active and it's like you didn't waste any time entering them! These cheats do not help at all on some levels, but on some they do. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Fiber Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Make sure you sign out of XBL if you're going to cheat, I was messing around spawning HL2 weapons and the game knocked out all the medals I had, plus I had to finish chamber 19 again to even access the challenges.

Dysitis Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 but the time challenges are a bitch though. even with videos i cant do the first time challenge That was the hardest gold me. I'd recommend saving it for last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spades12321 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I had to use a cheat for the last one, testchamber 18 timed. I used portal bumps and glitches to get through some of the hard test chambers but I could not do the last one without cheats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tym Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 This video makes it so tempting, but I can't quite bring myself to cheat. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Kyuss Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 For anyone actually attempting this. Chamber 13's Least Steps/Time will drive you crazy. That one was my last Gold I needed to get (Least steps iirc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftyK42 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 For those doing 16 chamber, use invincible cheat it alone helps you go through easier. And for 18 chamber just use place portal anywhere one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icypinksmurf Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 its good to know that 'cheating' is still possible or this would be totally impossible for me. i suck terribly at this ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamRLBaker Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I would think that people use it cause the gold medals are harder then hell and at times all most impossible unless your lucky or devote your entire life to geting them cause its not really believable when people say they got em in a day or on the first playthrough which has been said in this thread. but from what i've heard in the thread achievements aren't unlocked if you cheat, even if you do the save game after loading technique.

DrizztDourden43 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeah, but I still didn't use the cheats in Half-Life 2. Wow...Oh My Goodness...You Are So Awesome...Please Father My Children. Give them a break man, this is a thread about cheating...not about how you are so amazing that you could do anything in the world and never cheat once. I guarantee that you have cheated one time or another, so please for the love of God just SHUT UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeniun Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The title of this thread is very misleading, most of the time the cheats don't even help (especially since crouching will count towards steps...so there goes the box cheat) And I don't feel like spending the rest of my life trying to get these achievements, so I hereby award Portal with a little achievement of my own. http://achievements.schrankmonster.de/Achievement.aspx?text=5G%20-%20Most%20Annoying%20Thing%20EVER Thanks anyway though.

Sentyu Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 actually you can remap the buttons so you dont need to crouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeniun Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yea and if you move the left analog stick 1/1000th of a centimeter it counts as a step >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figgsy91 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 This does not help for the footstep ones. There must be someway around them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaji Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 its not really believable when people say they got em in a day I literally got them in a day, the ones I got stuck on I'd check out a video for, and the only one that was *really* difficult was the companion cube level least steps. It is possible to do, on the steps levels 20% or so is luck getting the jump steps right etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergashnurga Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You think so? My achievement was glitched so I was back to 0 and I managed to complete it in less than a day using those cheats. You can greatly reduce steps by using the portal anywhere cheat and you can actually skip great lenghts of levels in the time challenges by spawning an energy ball or swimming in the toxic liquid with invincibility. i just found the cheats today and i thought it would be wrong of me to use them but i couldn't stop myself. they're pretty useful in my opinion and not just for achievements or completing levels. the make me feel free to explore all aspects of the levels and it's just interesting to see what all portal has to offer. even if people don't intend to use cheats to get achievements i'd encourage the use of them just to fuck around. it's fun:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
