    If I remember correctly, the portal is the lower left of the map.

    I think you need some pebbles or obsidian shards or something to activate the portal.

    It's been awhile since I've played, but I vaguely recall running around wildly being chased by cornugons. :D

    I don't remember ever getting shards. I seem to remember finding something on a body, but I don't remember where. Maybe in the top right of the map.

    Again, it's been a while, but I would try either looking on the ground or killing a cornugon or something and seeing if they drop them. Something makes me want to say check out the middle of the screen, but that's just a hunch.

    Sorry, it's the best I can do. :(

    [EDIT: I'm assuredly not guaranteeing shards or anything(it's been at least a year since I played through PT), but I remember discarding something that seemed to have no real use and then having to run back and pick it up when I realized it was probably there for a reason. I still want to say it is dirt or pebbles or a rock or some other bit of the land.]

    Geez...

    This is the whole idea: you must be told by someone about the portal and the key.

    If you haven't asked that Fhjull already, you'll have to ask that Pillar and suffer some more to get an answer.

    When you learn about portal and key, you just need to go to straight forward to left corner - opposite the entrance to Pillar area and you'll trigger the portal automatically like the one in Ravel's maze.

    You DON'T need any "item key" in inventory.
    You CAN NOT trigger the portal if you weren't previously told about it.

    There is actually a way to get the Pillar to give you an answer without 'suffering' at all (although a lot of people will probably already know this). If your Charisma is high enough (simply cast 'Friends' or use charms if it isn't), you can lie to the pillar about Fjhull's location convincingly enough for it to believe you. Of course, you can only do this to get one answer, but that's pretty much all you need from the Pillar.

    Jimmy, he actually HAS to learn about Fortress of Regrets and Trias from Pillar. That means - he'll suffer at least once if he haven't sucked the portal info out of Fhjull.

    I realise that, but I'm just saying how to 'not suffer' if you've already gotten the info off of Fjhull...
    I ended up losing 15hp permenantly after my first go at negotiating with the pillar... boy was that a mistake (about 3 hits from the next monster killed me!)
    (Sorry, we've kind of gone off on a bit of a tangent!)

    Actually, the best thing to suffer in case you've got to, is to trade Morte, then to get him back (but for that you have to be "double-specialized" in one class).

    [​IMG] Any class!

    You just have to be THAT class when you press "level up" button for the first time to reach level 7 and level 12.

    So, if you reached level 7 as a fighter first, and level 12 as a thief - you won't be "double-specialized in a class" nor will be able to pull Morte back from Pillar.

    When I was at the pillar, I didn't lose any Hp as I followed Morte's advice and hid him around the corner near the entrance gate to the area. I actually can't remember what I gave in return for my question (I only asked about the Fortress of Regrets) but it wasn't the Modron Cube or any blood...

    All I know is that I saved Fhjull's life by lying to the Pillar:)

    Oh yeah, later, in Carceri, I convinced Trias to go home but Vhailor killed him:( Before he died, Trias said I was cursed because
    "The demon I tricked has been released"
    Then there was a little cutscene where Fhjull is freed from his curse- but nothing ever happened to me. Has anyone got any idea why its a curse to me if Fhjull was released?

    Ah, nostalgia.....

    [​IMG] 1. You don't lose anything if you were smart and asked Fhjull where's the portal to get away from pillar. If you skipped that, you must ask that the Pillar itself - and suffer.

    2. Cursed? You're not cursed, don't worry. Neither if you pissed Deionarra in the beginning - when she curses you... Right. Sure.
