![]() The only difference is the aforementioned Time Portal. Since this is a mod for Portal 2 the gameplay is essentially identical to the previous entries in the franchise. Portal Reloaded literally adds another dimension to the series. The Green portal doesn’t allow you to access a far-off area in the Testing Chamber, it allows you to travel 20 years forward (and backward) in time. This game gives you your normal Orange and Blue portals that allow you to pass from one area to another instantaneously, but this time you also get a rectangular Green portal. You are an anonymous Test Subject in the long-abandoned Aperture Science testing facility and you have been tasked with assessing the effects of the latest in Portal technology. ![]() The basic premise of the game is identical to that of its predecessors. Even if you don’t have it yet, Portal 2 is €8 on Steam so it’s hardly going to break the bank. It's not SCS level difficulty where everything is AI based and, like I said, it's a bit cheap, but it's not a pushover either and I wouldn't play it on lower difficulties.Portal Reloaded came out on Steam a couple of weeks ago and is free to download for anyone who owns Portal 2. I found spiders particularly annoying because it seems like their web doesn't allow a saving throw at all, but I digress. Insane as a difficulty is a bit cheap, because it likes to throw hordes of enemies at you which spam you with spells you are bound to not make your saving throw due to the sheer amount of them, so you pretty much need immunities. I assume it's going to be a bit easier if you have perma-immunity to fear for the whole party, like that chest armor, but it's not the only thing to worry about. I made the fight more difficult for myself however, because I only had 1 thing against fear (a pot of clarity) which I gave to Corwin. Everything does tons of damage (I've removed the difficulty-based damage increase) and tries to either fear or charm you, Caelar likes to gulp pots of invisibility when she gets low, so if you want to take her down fast you need Purge Invisibility or similar. Belhifet summons either 1 Cornugon or 2 random other devils periodically who must be killed immediately or they WILL fuck you up. The arena begins with 1 Cornugon, 2 Abishai, 1 Bone Construct (? forgot the name), 1 Erineys and 2 other assorted devils. Just finished the Belhifet fight (with Caelar on his side) on Insane and it was utterly brutal. Last thing, on the final battle, it's pretty hilarious when Belhifet instagib Caelar (chunk of meat lol) and on the aftermath the uncle cries on some pile of meat (lol) On another matter, I still don't know the consequences (if any) if the PC self sacrifices and fails the answer, offer one companion (breaking romance?) and give the correct/bad answer to the riddle. Just accept it and force kill him, easy xp. ![]() The last one is before the elevator, it should be a Glabrezu or a demon (not devil, or the contrary lol) that turns immediately hostile and after some damaging (90%-95% hp) he begs you to spare him, not without some reward for the act (longsword +5 but 30 charges, after +1, pretty lame, and maybe something else, don't remember). Two possible outcomes: allying or killing, the latter does involve a great micromanagement because he/she has uber stats but lamely no loot. On this particular chapter there are two last spectacles encounters, one on the very beginning and it involves a celestial.
