Red glitch Portal ?

[[HdF] Almut Grete]

Hi there.

Someone know what is going on with the red glitched portal in the labyrinth?

I thought it might be the way to the last area of the game, but it is not.

Devs have also stated no new campaign is needed and it can be done solo so this is untrue

Do you know where the dev said that? I'm trying to collect as much information as possible and I want confirmation since there's a lot of misinformation with so many secrets in the game.

Im seeing online that there are rare enemies in the labyrinth that can give the corruption status and im wondering if you can get lucky enough to have one spawn close enough to the door and get the debuff then use the 3rd invader perk "Reboot" that stores your health, stamina, among other things along with your negative status debuffs, run to the door, pop it and boom.

It would depend. When you reach Data Corruption status (the full bar) it locks your abilities so you cant use them.

If what you are suggesting is correct then a random enemy in Labyrinth would be blessed with the use of that status effect so you would have rng to check it out.

Though a friend of mine did get to the door with Data corruption status on him and still could not do anything. So there may be more steps to this.

i'm pretty sure its if you use the defrag mod on a gun, you create virus pools when you kill rock enemies. if you stand in the pool you become all glitchy looking

maybe it would have something to do with the corrupted lumenite crystals certain enemies drop?

That's what I was thinking. But how can we even use them?

[Sigs]

those seem to be specifically used for upgrading mutators at Dweeb the pan in town. Most of the silly new currencies have no secondary use except for their specific one.

Then perhaps the answer is to use a specific mutator on a specific weapon. That would make sense considering the dreamweaver staff is used to access a whole different area in the game.

[Sigs]

the mutators just give % stat changes or occasionally interact with other combat mechanics like shielding. They would have had to have put some effort in to make one of those open a door, but it's not completely impossible. I don't think I've even examined a mutator.

Whatever the key is to this is probably something we're overlooking, like examining objects to see if they alter or are interactable. The fact the door has no interaction range or anything means it's something sneaky.

Worst case, as apparently one of the devs drastically altered the puzzle last minute out of spite, they broke it and it won't get solved until they fix the other bugs (revivalist, achievements, etc. etc. etc.)

*edit worst worst case, it's cut/missing content that just isn't implemented properly or doesn't exist yet :v

Was doing some random testing with no results, but maybe it'll save someone time or spark a thought.
I managed to get corruption status and die at the same time, hoping it would make it permanent or something - nope
i also attempted obtaining repeat corruption status, hoping it would be permanent. it got up to nine seconds, but then it was back down to four. i did die a few times, so maybe that reset my buildup or -1'd it. or maybe the length just varies depending on how you receive the status

might still be a thing, later on you practicly drown in those ^^

The thing that confuses me the most is that the door is not interactable at all. That is something that never happens in the game, you can always "e" it but nothing happens or there is some hidden button in the ground somewhere you need to stand on.

Will start a new campaign and carry the master key over to that spot before i unchangeable use it on the teleporter. Maybe it will open some option up?

[Sigs]

someone's already gotten to the door with corruption status and nothing happened apparently.

i went to the door with the master key and you still can't do anything with it. I visited the door at each step of the labyrinth process and nothing changed.

It's some obscure combination of things, or something specifically designed to troll players.

Or like I said, that spite change broke it and the dev doesn't care.
