Rainbow Palace Question
Quote from Cooper on March 28, 2008, 5:56 amHey, just a quick question about the Rainbow Palace map by Duffedwaffe. In the room with the exit and acid pit, I couldn''t figure out how to get myself across by flinging, so instead I decided to see if I could just hop/swim across the pit. I managed to do this, and complete the map.
The actual question is what is the actual orthodox way of getting past this obstacle? I read in the posts on release thread for Rainbow Palace that this wasn't the way that Duffedwaffe intended the puzzle to be solved. Anyone care to shed any light on the proper solution?

i think its actually covered in that thread, and this shoulda been posted there too (imo) but if i get time later i'll make a video of how "i" beat it. and i think my soultion is close to the "right" soultion
EDIT: here ya go

now this is not how i did the final fling the first time, i saw that the gap could be swam across. but then reloaded from a previous save and found a way to fling it. (cuz i like to try to beat maps with the intended solution (especially for contests)) but after replaying it to make this video for you, THIS solution seemed like the easiest and most likely. my way involved portal tunneling back anyway it was much harder. this should be easy.
