How to unlock the Like a Rat achievement in Portal: Still Alive - Definitive Guide

I think the way I did this was fairly simple compared to the videos posted. It was on level 10, the one where you get the second portal gun, to enable you to fire orange portals.

In the room there's a button next to you and the portal gun is spinning and firing in different directions. You push the button to open the hatch across the room and fire a portal through it into the room beyond. Then wait for the gun to fire the orange portal next to you and jump through it. You're now in the room beyond the hatch (this is where you are going to be trapped).

When the orange portal opens directly across from the orb activator thing, fire a portal at the wall that the orb is hitting. This will activate the moving platform outside the room. Now fire a portal in the wall of the room and wait for the orange portal to open at the moving platform and jump through on to it then get the gun. It's important that you don't fire your blue portal anywhere else at this point as you want it to stay inside the room.

After getting the gun, get back on the moving platform, fire an orange portal at the wall, jump through it back into the room through the hatch and you're trapped. Like a rat.

You're trapped because you could fire the orange portal inside the room at the end and you wouldn't be able to get out. For some reason, the achievement just unlocks a bit early before you've done that.

I still don't get it, I can just go through the blue portal out of the room and onto the platform again, what's the deal?

OK, so after following the solution you are in the room, and the blue portal is in the room. The orange portal is outside the room, so as you say, you are not technically trapped yet. You could just go through the blue portal and out the orange portal to get out.

But, if you didn't go through the blue portal and instead you fired the orange portal inside the room too, then you would be unable to get out because both portals are inside the room. For some reason the game realises early that you could get into this situation and the achievement unlocks before you even fire the orange portal inside the room.

Thanks for helping out with this. However, there must be a glitch, because I did manage to get out and finish the chamber.

Yep definitely test chamber 11. Test chamber 10 is momentum and throwing yourself onto the higher platforms.

This achievement requires you to trap yourself in a room, so that GLaDOS has to help you escape. The first place where you can do this is in test chamber thirteen.

Below is a video demonstrating how to do this:
