Portal questions (post BOOM!!) (possible/probable spoilers)


Recommended Posts

I destroyed the portal but I had a few questions about the processes that were set in motion. There were three distinct phases in the destruction, hairline cracks placed in two pylons, setting up the test run, and finally using the onyx scepter to close the portal. The only step that seems to have no possible variations is the control room step, it is the only way to start the process of destroying there portal.

1. but what happens if only one pylon was chipped?

2. neither pylon is chipped?

3. what happens if you aren't carrying the onyx scepter, or if you leave without closing the portal?

I think you only have to break one of the pylons to successfully destroy the portal; I don't think breaking more than one makes a difference. If you don't break one at all, when you operate the controls the portal will just briefly open for a few seconds and then snap shut again, which doesn't achieve anything useful.

 

As for what happens if you don't close the portal... well, you should try it. It's pretty interesting. Just don't save over your main file when you do.
