How can "No Elements" maps in Portal 2 be so hard?

Almost all Portal 2 puzzles in the workshop contain at least one testing element, be it a laser, a light bridge or a funnel. However, there is a whole subgenre of puzzles dedicated to achieving highly interesting puzzles without using any elements whatsoever. In this short video we explore some of the ideas behind these puzzles and showcase some solutions.

Disclaimer: don't let maps with just portalable surfaces trick you into thinking they didn't spend months deciding where to put each surface

[@slyceth]

Well doesn't that take away all fun in freedom?

[@ImDaRealBoi]

@@slyceth not really. The freedom is in figuring out where portals go. They themselves are a very complex element, and when you take out all other ideas and gimmicks, you can focus on building a map that utilizes surfaces, sightlights, momentum and paths to their fullest. No extra stuff, just portals, but when you ask a poet to describe the house in front of him, he will not just say it is a house. Essentially, investing more time into one elememt makes the experience with it much more complex and interesting than one note and dull Or you could just, y'know, watch the video

[@Saposhiente]

Putting portal surfaces on a noportal field requires you to apply as much thought as putting actual portals on it.

[@rocketrifter]

This is inspiring from a game design perspective: there's this expectation that you need a slew of mechanics to make an engaging experience. But as exemplified here, you can do so much with the bare minimum! It goes to show that it's not about how many mechanics you can put in a game, but how you utilize them.

[@slyceth]

Well you can look to Baba is You for the best example of this

[@FluxLemniskat]

@@slyceth I liked BIY, but tbh. it added a TON of new mechanics, therefore I don't think it really fits what OP said. A better example IMO would be a true simple Sokoban game.

I love no element maps because it really makes you focus on the geometrical and mechanical leverage that portals give you in a more standard scenario. This makes learning and relating the mechanics of portal to real life much more fascinating.🤩

[@whyiwakeup6460]

One problem with these (and probably the reason the “official” campaigns didn’t do similar) is that it requires high reaction speed and sometimes long reset times, which lowers the accessibility a bit.

[@FluxLemniskat]

That's not entirely true. You can build a No-Elements map where high reaction speed is needed, but you can also build one where it is not necessary and players can do everything without haste. I don't think that was the reason you can't see that in the campaign.

[@Timeward76]

@@FluxLemniskat the reason is most likely that they wanted to actually use all those elements they spent months to years working on in their game, which is very fair.

[@FluxLemniskat]

@@Timeward76 Probably. A pure no element campaign wouldn't appeal to a mainstream audience.

Have you ever thought that a cube with legs could be more useful if you think about it? They can be like a timer, for example, you put them against the button, and while it crawls up to it, you need to do something. That's a cool idea!

No. The frankenturrets will automatically stop moving if they approach a button.

[@solutionchanneliguess2899]

Super exciting to see a No Elements video! I know you repeat it several times in the video, but I'll underscore in my comment how incredible, entertaining, and educational the No Elements collection is. I remember it teaching me so much about the general language of tons of Portal 2 puzzles, even those with plenty of elements! More than just flings (which are important and show up everywhere already), the collection taught me to ask questions like "When do I want to connect these two distant areas?" and "When do I want to keep a portal on this particular surface?" It's as if the act of reducing to 'no elements' exposes the skeleton of so many Portal 2 puzzles that can be seen everywhere. I encourage everyone watching this to go play that collection and think about the moves described in the video - it really opens the door for all kinds of Portal 2 maps!

[@champswim8622]

Ahh, Mevious, I remember playing a handful of his puzzles years ago, and they all made me feel stupid (in a good way) by how stumped I would get on seemingly simple puzzles. Thanks for making this vid, went back to the game and played through the 20 puzzle collection and loved it. Props to the creators!

[@IroAppe]

I am now at map 14, so I haven't watched the video further. The No Elements collection demonstrates the Core Portal experience to me: With a wormhole portal, distance doesn't matter. Surfaces and momentum don't have to be locally close to be used. They can be anywhere in the room. The experience to fling yourself into a portal at one end of the room, fly through multiple portals on angled surfaces over a water pit in a completely different room, just to place your portal in the air to the right position and end up somewhere else with the momentum needed. That shows the potential of the concept of Portals more than anything else. And: It shows my favorite puzzle type. I tried to find out what the "element" of these puzzles is, the concept that makes it interesting. It's still difficult to describe that "Portal Management" in clear words. Sometimes you have to set portals on accessible panels near the floor next to drops to save that for later. Floor-accessible panels are way more important in this map collection than you think at first. They allow you to go back and forth and reset portals somewhere else. But sometimes you need to gain momentum in one room to then achieve another location in the other room. And sometimes you have to replace portals while flinging in the air to get them where you need. Maybe if I think a bit about it, I'll be able to describe it more in a general, abstract, way. Maybe it's just the counter-intuitive way of portals that connect places and their possibilities, that we are not used to in that complexity. Nevertheless, it's what makes Portal, Portal.

[@grabelli]

[@kakyoindonut3213]

so it's one of those genres of creativity where instead of expanding stuff, they instead use it's own limitation to create something new

[@Imaproshaman7]

I'm glad to get underrated videos in my recommended. This is really cool.

[@HumanoidDerpling]

I've recently been getting into Portal Pro, and although it's quite an old mod its puzzles are so... good. Many of them have very few, if any puzzle elements, and yet they are fascinating and very challenging.

[@Crow_Rising]

I kinda really like the idea of a re-imagined main campaign with all new puzzles that introduces movement concepts through no elements puzzles and then utilizes this movement in follow up puzzles that do use elements. A basic back and forth cycle of doing a no elements puzzle, then at least one if not several puzzles with elements that center around the same movement theme. Movement that the player has already learned could then return at any point in later puzzles, slowly but steadily increasing the difficulty curve, until finally your final gauntlet is an advanced puzzle with no elements in which you must use every form of movement you've learned to progress.

[@LB_]

Yess, finally some appreciation for momentum storage!

[@concentratedcringe]

I did what you suggested and finished the maps first. I'm back, 6 months later, and I can say with confidence that this map pack is fantastic. I felt like a genius every time I solved a chamber 😌

[@MRFAB1]

No elements maps are my favorite ! I have played so many of them and now there's no more :( Also the difficulty of these moves are nothing compared to the "Jumpator" series made by Polux (I know it's not a true no elements but it's close enough) Polux pushed momentum to the limit something that I don't recommand if you're not a veteran !

No elements is definitely a great concept. However, I do not like the idea of smashing your head against the ceiling to slow down, or you whole body against a wall to stop. If Valve cared to be more realistic, that would injure or kill Chell. Oh, and I love how GLaDOS comments on test subjects in one of her chambers wanting crash helmets because of the chamber designs I just mentioned.

[@sud1881]

Oh but don’t worry, Cheli is wearing long fall boots which will (obviously) remove Chell’s head to prevent motion sickness, flip over Chell’s body in the direction needed to prevent damage and… voila! Chell’s head is reattached (along with some bonus science bits) all in less than a second. Honestly how hard is this to understand?

[@LaughingThesaurus]

This is very cool and elegant, as something of a game design enthusiast, but I wanted to pose something for people who might think that elements are absolutely unnecessary-- Elements in the base game's puzzles probably exist to highlight solutions a bit more clearly-- Each puzzle is going to be another new way to use a hard light bridge, or excursion funnel, or so on. It sort of automatically conveys to the player what the expectation is. That, and course elements just look flashy, and can keep people who may not be dedicated puzzle gamers involved in progressing the game. Puzzles without elements ARE very cool, but probably don't suit a campaign experience quite as well for those reasons. There's a use for everything!

I actually found these maps on the workshop while looking through Mevious' submissions, so I subscribed to the whole set thinking to myself, "This is gonna be so easy. I'll get to breeze through level after level soaring around like an eagle (piloting a blimp)..." I ate those words on a plate once I had to look up a walkthrough for stage 6. I really overestimate my problem solving skills haha 4:10 that level actually taught me that strategy, and I love using it ever since. It's so nice putting a portal exactly where you wanna fling out, instead of blindly shooting the general area. I don't know how I never thought of doing that before, and just the other day I was screaming at the screen when the guys from Deadwater didn't use that strategy to get into the vent in that old Russian Portal fangame they played recently lol

Self therapy blogpost, ignore me, I just wanted to think outloud (so to speak). Sadly, I think this video made me realize I actually hate solving puzzles. I tried out the maps for myself and realized I don't enjoy any of the puzzle aspect of it at all, but instead took enjoyment in just moving around in the air and such. In terms of a mentally challenging task, they were indeed interesting, but I've come to terms with myself that I actually don't like thinking of some complex solution to a problem. In fact, the only enjoyment I've gotten from community chambers in general has been when I beat them in ways they aren't intended for (with air strafing, bug abuse, and bhopping). It would also make sense with how all my of my own chambers are incredibly simple and make use of easy momentum sections, or depend on the execution of an obscure bug (such as the excursion funnel flying glitch) or air strafing from a high but short distance aerial plates, or bhopping off of a stair to jump a large gap. Thank you for this video, seriously, I think I can quit playing Portal 2 now.

[@solutionchanneliguess2899]

Though making a solid No Elements puzzle still isn't easy, I found that it was actually more approachable when starting out! No elements to be confused by - just exploring the interactions of a few surfaces and seeing what happens. Might be worth a try!

[@ctddied1637]

sometimes,you just need little less elements.

[@glorgy.]

They're called puzzles because they make you puzzled. 😎

[@CrispyMendowan]

the problem with most no element map they require timing and (most of the time) precise portal placement. precise portal placement in on itself is not a problem, the problem is portal is kinda janky when it comes to matching the crosshair and where the portal is being placed. for example in no element 10 : espouse, in a jump between 2 angled surface more often than not the portal will land in anywhere but where you aim your crosshair. the timing and precise portal placement also adds additional challenge to the maps, which could be both a bad thing and a good thing depending on your preference, but for me the essential aspect of portal puzzle is figuring out how to do it rather than trying to execute it.

[@Mikeastro]

Valid concerns, but I don't think they typically require very precise portal placement. An angled panel comes with a placement helper, a "portal magnet" so to speak, so the portal should always be put in the exact same spot without any additional effort from the player. These placements are precisely so that certain flings work out perfectly when done with the correct amount of speed. I do fully agree with your final statement though; the solving process should never be overshadowed by the mere execution of the solution!

[@username5155]

Now we’re finally thinking with portals.

[@bastian_5975]

I love the idea of these maps, but holy hell can they be torturous to complete sometimes just because of how long it can take to retry a puzzle if you fail it. I get the whole point is to not use any elements, but the overall experience would be improved immensely if some were added that just made retrying faster without effecting the logic (ie, a button to reveal a staircase, replacing most staircases with aerial faith plates, coating some surfaces with speed gel, etc.) The puzzles are functional without the elements, but in most of them I end up toggling noclip on and off throughout just to make it so that failing doesn't mean I have to do the entire god damn puzzle over again or take 30 seconds per attempt walking from point A to point B when I have no clue what I'm doing. The momentum based nature of these puzzles is already very conducive to having to restart a whole section just because you failed one thing, so having that frustration compounded further by having to walk all the way back to the start on top of that often robs a lot of the satisfaction of completing the maps.

[@FluxLemniskat]

I don't think that toggled stairs etc. would be faster than noclip etc. I recommened to use f6/f7 to restore puzzle states, as well as key bindings for noclip, host_timescale 2.0 (or other values) and so on. All that can drastically reduce the needed time to recover. :)

[@bastian_5975]

@@FluxLemniskat the point is I shouldn't have to use noclip

[@ldidok]

@@bastian_5975 There are puzzles that involve plenty of clever moves and sequences with the sole goal of achieving something such as getting your portals in a specific location. Accidentaly shoot the wrong portal, and you're 50 moves back. In a well designed puzzle, where differences between states are so subtle, it's impossible not to be tremendously punished by making a small mistake (execution or logical). If reaching an area gives you a permanent button as a checkpoint, then the subtlety is gone, and progress is obvious.

[@bastian_5975]

@@ldidoksorry if this is rambly, I'm pretty tired, but I also know that I will forget half of what I have to say by tomorrow. it is still a good idea to try as hard as possible to minimize the cost of failure because of how much of puzzle solving is just seeing if something can work out in a specific way. With good puzzle design, there will be specific moment(s) where something clicks in your head, allowing you to understand what you have to do, and if you aren't allowed to experiment without losing all of your progress/having to take 30 seconds to try again, it can feel like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle without being able to touch any pieces that won't immediately connect to what you already have solved. In some cases nothing can really be done, but in almost every single map I got frustrated at losing progress, there was something that could have been done to lessen either the progress that was lost or otherwise decrease the time it takes to try again. Usually that thing would just be aerial faith plates scattered about to make it so that you could move around the pieces of geometry placed to block your shot while you were flinging so that you didn't have to walk everywhere (or coating certain walkways in propulsion gel), or a button that will open up a path (either directly or by activating some check to see if your portals are in the right place) to allow you to get back to where you are without having to do everything again or re-place your portal where it should be at the start of a section. Granted, a large part of my frustration has been alleviated by the existence of quick saving, which I didn't know about because I assumed that the lack of an option to save from the menu and lack of any mention of any option to save in community test levels, but I still think levels should be designed as if they didn't exist so that you're not training people to be overly reliant on them, on top of the fact that if something can be done just as conveniently in an immersive way, it will usually feel better.

[@ldidok]

@@bastian_5975 what you're describing reads more as a linear progression map rather than a puzzle. When you say "people should try to make it less punishable", it's not that I don't think creators should put more care in their puzzles; it's just that a well designed puzzle and no-punishment experimentation doesn't get along. If the puzzle state that you're at looks the exact same than 50 moves ago but with portals in another place, you WILL get punished if you shoot the wrong portal. No way around that. There's beauty on the subtleness of the puzzle state. The map "nemesis" is a very good example of that.
