GLITCH IN CH8 -> BE CAREFUL! <- (Spoiler)

[Free Beer]

Ok this is DEF good for you all to know. If you are going for the Smash TV achv. you have to be very careful when you get to Chamber 15. This video guide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYHxc57IGmM&feature=player_embedded#at=474) (which I used for the achv.) is floating around the forums. If you follow it to a T like I did you may run into this problem cuz this is how it happened to me. Ok here we go.

When you first enter chamber 15 Wheatly will be on the screen talking to you and he will say something about how there is no exit in the room. And then a few seconds later he smashes a wall off in the background to reveal the exit. If you break the screen he is on while he is talking and he hasn't revealed the exit yet then the voice prompt for his response to you breaking the monitor will start and then he wont go back to his original dialogue which prompts him to reveal the exit.

Basically if you cut him off before he smashes the wall, you're fucked. The test chamber will still work, you can still spread the orange gel across the ramp, and the ramp WILL take you across the gap BUT the wall that he smashes is STILL there, and you actually pass right thru the wall and land in a room behind it (the room that Wheatly WOULD have smashed away.) And the exit door is actually in that room, but it just sits there and it wont open and you can't get out.

The reason this happened to me was because I was just cruising thru as fast as possible to get the achv and I nailed him right at the beginning. So LET HIM FINISH TALKING AND REVEAL THE EXIT.

You're welcome :)

Thanks for the heads up. This is the kind of thing that needs to be in the achievement guide.

I smashed his smug face before he was done and I finished it fine. Got to the point where I was getting annoyed at the room, and kept stupidly dying. I'd die, then run into the room, smash the screen, and carry on... then finally realizing I was an idiot, and was thinking WAY outside the box for the solution. I know tho, when I finished the room, I ran in, smashed the screen mid sentence (had that part DOWN), and finished no time flat. Once you do it, it's easy... unless that asshole cube walks away on you... little jerk. :p

Probably a random glitch. Then again, most glitches are random.

Thanks for the heads up tho, for those who hadn't gotten there yet, or like me, are planning on playing this many, many times. :woop:

Same thing happened to me, I smashed the screen before he could move away that wall.

BUT:
This shouldn't be a problem at all, because the game always keeps the last to auto-saves. So, you only have to quit, and reload the savefile BEFORE you smashed the monitor.

[Free Beer]

Yeah you make a good point about the auto-saves. BUT It was just so crazy the way it happened to me, cuz I didn't notice it, you know? I had JUST beaten the game, so I really only was in that chamber one time before on my first run thru. So i didn't remember that he smashes the wall, so I was trying to beat the chamber and i was like WTF WHY AM I JUST PASSING THRU THIS WALL!? HOW DO I OPEN THE DOOR?! WTFFFFFFF! lolol But thats why y auto-saves got fucked cuz I progressed thru the chamber and poured the gel and everything, and it also gives you an auto-save after you smash the monitor, so I was fucked and had to go back.:mad:

[Aesir Renegade]

I never had this issue and i smashed him mid-sentence. But it is a good thing to watch out for. The auto-saves really help and I think valve does an excellent job of implementing these kinds of features so that their community doesn't f***ed over too bad if something weird like this does happen.

That explains why it happened to me. I did not mind doing it all again. I <3 this game.
