While I was getting the 'Transmission Received' achievement, I actually learned that Chamber 14 will trigger the 'door explodes' prevention if you throw the radio through the door. So either they only accounted for this one instance for some reason, or that prevention is just triggered by any physics object landing in that area.

The Stanley Parable is a game made in source engine about a man named Stanley, who follows the story given by a narrator. Or not. It’s up to you. If you choose the most disobedient path possible, The Narrator decides that if we hate his game so much, we should play a different game. So he takes us to Test Chamber 00 in Portal. This version actually has better softlock detection than the real game, as no matter what way you get the cube stuck behind the door, The Narrator will berate you for somehow failing the easiest puzzle in the world, and will decide to not give you a replacement cube. The only thing you can do now is restart the game. This is not available in the Ultra Deluxe remake, as the Portal section was replaced with one based on Rocket League.

11:11 Player of that IL here. What makes this easier isn't just being good at timing the shot but more so understanding the crouch timing. If you uncrouch while on top of a floor portal you will be near instantly teleported to the other side because the standing hitbox has a lower teleport area than the crouched hitbox. This is what makes it possible to go through the portal before the new one lands, but it can still be made easier with some more crouch tech. Instead of needing to do a very precise uncrouch input, it also works using the uncrouching animation as you walk over the portal, which makes it play more as an easier buffered input and you will always go through the portal as early as possible too.

It would have been really funny if they added gradually-progressing dialogue for if you activated all of the softlock failsafes throughout the whole game, like what they have for destroying the cameras. The last one could have been like "congratulations on your ability to ensure that the Enrichment Center will be required to discard your testing results as a statistical outlier. The Enrichment Center apologizes for whichever miscommunication is responsible for your misunderstanding the purpose of the tests, which resulted in a colossal waste of everyone's time."

My favorite Softlock prevention in the game is the one at 25:03 because, instead of just opening the doors, they instead made this entirely unique 'escape hatch'. Also, I learned on my own that, in Chamber 14, the 'door explodes' prevention at 23:45 also triggers if you throw the chamber's radio through the door; no cube required (I learned this while I was getting the 'Transmission Recieved' achievement).

16:18 "This portal copies the data it already had. This is completely pointless, but allows this softlock" I can GUARANTEE that during testing with multiple fixed portals (and maybe even just player portals), there were nightmarish bugs early in development due to portal link detection not being robust. This reeks horribly of spaghetti having been ironed down flat into non-existence, and it's likely the devs got used to making maps in ways that avoid the bugs before the safety net code even runs.

There's actually one more softlock in Escape 02, although it technically happens after beating the game/the speedrun ends. If you defeat GLaDOS, then open the incinerator and jump into it, you die. But because the game doesn't reload an autosave until you press a key or mouse button, you can let the ending sequence play out. You end up outside, except everything is extremely overexposed and bright white. You never get dragged away and the credits never start, so technically it prevents progressing.

27:40 technically, if you leave the cube in the hallway like in the video, the orb will continue to slightly push it until it reaches the trigger. it just takes like 10 minutes at host_timescale 200 lmao. luckily you can balance it on the stairs just before the trigger at the end of the hallway to avoid that and still softlock. or you can get the orb stuck in an infinite portal loop somewhere to prevent it from respawning

One of the best had to be not for the actual game, but a player created mod called The Gary Hudson Project. Gary created it for his then girlfriend, to propose to her. Aa far as I know, Ellen McClain actually recorded custom voice lines for it, dropping hints throughout. In one softlock that traps you in the middle of a ring of the launcher plate things, GLaDOS rescues you, saying that it woild be awful to be stuck with someone for the rest of your life.

11:35 there is actually a far easier method to solve this chamber without the cube! by stepping on the button, opening the door and placing a blue portal below the door, you can step off the button and the blue portal wont be fizzled, and since the portal is longer than it is wide, you can jump into the blue portal from the inside of the chamber, and jump again into the orange portal to the exit.

This video was very well-made. I myself encountered the softlock that causes the game to crash on the final escape chamber in my first playthrough so many years ago and always wondered if there were any others of similar stature. Thank you for taking the time to compile all of them into one place!

11:20 an easier method to clear this room without a weird fling is holding the door open on the button and placing a portal directly underneath the door on the floor, so you can jump in one half and put the other

I set this video on "Watch Later", played & beat Portal 1 for the first time in 3.1 hours, then went back to watch this video so that I could understand the rooms and their softlocks. Quite fun to wrack my brain on certain levels, then find out how to absolutely break them. Also, bravo for inspiring me to play a true video game classic!

this video is awesome!!! i really really appreciate how you went into remarkable depth with the explanation of the chamber 10 softlock. as a former portal speedrunner, i knew lots and lots of the logic behind the game, but that explanation was something i had never encountered. i dont think i've ever seen a video about a somewhat surface-level concept go into so much detail that you have to explain pointers and structs. 10/10 video!!! :3
