===Easter egg (alternate solution)===
* In the [[Rattmann|Rattmann den]] located behind the activated [[Piston|portalable piston surface]], you can find block that should be in the wall that are on the floor.
* You can actually transport the broken blocks through portals and drop them onto turrets.
This can be interpreted more as an Easter egg than a solution because it is not that practical because you can't grab the blocks or interact with them in any way other than moving them with portals.
