How to unlock the You Made Your Point achievement in Portal 2 - Definitive Guide

At the beginning of chapter eight "The Itch" you'll encounter a room with box/turret hybrids, a frustrated Wheatley, and a single pressure pad. Put a box on the pressure pad and continue to the lift, at the top of the elevator you'll be in test chamber 01 with the word "TEST" written in large letters on the wall. Its a simple chasm with a button that releases a cube and a pressure pad.

Get off the lift to make Wheatley start talking, then make sure that you
  • DO NOT PRESS THE BUTTON
  • DO NOT STAND ON THE PRESSURE PAD
Just stay in this room for about half a minute and you'll get the achievement.

For the visual people I've attached a link to a video guide made by "batou9secti0n" for the PC version of the game (which has the exact same achievements).
It shows the room in question to avoid any possible confusion. Full credit for the video guide goes to him, not me.

EDIT: updated link as original video was taken down

Don't understand why anyone would negatively vote this, must be as dumb as Wheatley.

ehh I don't care. I was planning on deleting the solution if someone came along with pictures or a video. This was only meant as a temporary source of info because there weren't any guides out for the game when it was written.

Takes a lot less than two minutes - I was only stood there for about 30 seconds and it popped for me. Thanks for the guide though :)

Just a note, make sure you get off of the lift. Once you move away from that area, Wheatley starts talking, it will pop about 30 seconds after that. I sat on that damn lift for 5 minutes - because I am THAT stupid.

I let the game idle for an hour in the first first room in chapter eight cause Wheatly says he'll be back in an hour.... so idk who is more stupid :)

Altered the solution to make it more clear.

You cannot get this through challenge maps - start a new game and jump to Chapter 8.

Chapter 8; The Itch

You will come to a test chamber room with a button where Wheatley will tell you to do the test. Stand beside the button and do NOT press it. Wait 30-60 seconds and the achievement should unlock around when Wheatley say: Go on.

WARNING

**SPOILERS**



When you get back to Wheatley on chapter 8 'The Itch', he talks for a while, then opens a door next to you. Walk into the course, but instead of completing the course (easiest course ever) just stand still at the beginning and listen to him hinting how to complete the course for about a minute and boom! you've got yourself another 10 GS.
Note: this doesn't affect the mission in any way, after you've bagged the achievement carry on with the mission if you haven't already completed it.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Just to clarify, this is not obtained in the very first chamber you enter in Chapter 8.

The chamber related to this achievement is the one with TEST written on the wall, not the one with all the box/turrets running around.

When Wheatley tells you to solve the puzzle, simply wait for about 30 seconds without touching anything.

I couldn't get it to work in challenge mode however if you're post game you can do it in the 'developer commentary' mode, choose it from singleplayer, then pick the chapter called 'The Itch' and just follow any of the other guides it should work fine.

Well, all those guides are correct, I've checked for myself, BUT you can not do it in the challenge mode, you have to start from the very beginning of the chapter 8.

This as the description says is right at the beginning of chapter 8. This trophy is also obtainable here-

Portal 2Dual Pit ExperimentThe Dual Pit Experiment trophy in Portal 2 worth 18 pointsDo the same test twice


When Wheatley opens the next door and instructs you to start testing, continue through the door until you get to chamber 1. Step off the lift to trigger more instructions from Wheatley, then do nothing!!! Just stand there until your trophy unlocks.

On Chapter 8, you'll go into a test chamber that says 'Test' on the side. You'll need to walk up to a button to release a cube to solve it. Don't do anything for about 30 seconds and this trophy will pop. Note that this isn't the first "Test" in chapter 8, but the first "Test Chamber".

In Chapter 8, after you place the cube on the button in the room with the running cubes, a robot will appear. He'll chat a little and you'll move on to the second testing room. In this room, don’t do anything, just stand there and the robot will lose its temper, in a couple of minutes you’ll get the achievement.
