    [​IMG] I know that portals need keys to open them and that keys can be both physical and in your head if you know the right thought. Well sometimes I have seen a portal and gone through it but I never knew what exactly the key was. So far they haven't been anything spectacular like the portals to Pharod's Vault or the Siege Tower. It's obvious what the keys are for those portals, but I'm talking about the little places some portals take you to, where there are a few items to get or a few enemies to kill. It's not real obvious what the key was for those. Is there any way you can know for sure what key you had to use to get into a portal?

    What portals exactly are you talking about?There's only one portal in the whole game that you can't find info on key and so it can be opened on simple luck - that Trash Warrens one.

    Ok I remember the one in the Trash Warrens, it had a bunch of cranium rats. I thought I found another one in the Catacombs but I can't remember where. Maybe having cranium rat tails is the key for the one in the Trash Warrens.

    In catacombs there are two portals.

    1. Portal to Silent King - you must get Stale Mary to tell you the key.

    2. Portal to Lothar's place - you must get Lothar to activate it.

    About that Trash Warrens portal, yes, the key is something of rats - maybe tail, maybe a charm. Doesn't matter because you will have it in inventory after looting the whole area.


    Anyway, there's one curiosity. In the Burried Village was supposed to be a woman named Sheryl. She would ask you to find her father. Resolving this quest would get you an info of the secret chamber portal and keys to it (Candlestick to enter and Purse to exit). This ain't a bug - this is one of many things in this game BI left unfinished.
    A tip: use text editor and put "Sheryl" to search in DIALOG.TLK file to see what was supposed to talk with her, never activated in the game.

    Lothar's place? Refresh my memory, who was he?

    And the key to the trash warrens portal is a cranium rat tail, not a rat tail charm.
