End game

[Talidus]

Just trying to understand. Once you clear through to the last map, you then need to make keys to open up the portal right? 2000x bones to make 1 key and similar materials to make the others, correct?

The game at this point felt like a hard drop off. I zipped through the content and did all the side quests in 6 hours and then 160 keys(?) to open a portal which I imagine, would take many additional hours of grinding to complete. I noticed some folks have a method as within a few days I noticed people were in the hundreds of levels of this new portal instance.

Anyways, just hoping I am tracking how progression works in the game, thanks!

Hey Talidus, you just need 2000 of 1 material to create a key, not each, so just go to the zone you have the most of or just grind that kabarian mire for like 30 mins and you'll have 1. Once you have that key, enter the rupture from your home fort. You'll find more keys in the rupture. See guide here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2015240/discussions/0/3767857092600237184/

Thanks ya the tool tip states you needed 40 of each of the keys to open the portal. At least thats how I read it and my mouth kind of dropped. Thanks for the help!

It's not easy to understand, I had to ask for the anwser on discord too.
Maybe you should "ungrey" the rupture portal keys (with key amount we have) to understand we can use it.
I've try the rupture and we gain a lot of ressources, most of them using disenchant the big amount of stuff we loot.
But I feel rupture so much hard than regular gameplay, especially on insane repop rate (even in rupture lvl 1). And finally, the only one strategy is to strike hard and go back to avoid to be struck by the pack and so strike again (not so fun after a while).

The UX is in the works. Thanks for the feedback.

What requires 40 of each key is the portal to the catacombs. The catacombs is a sort of bonus stage, it's not the end game.
So you use 1 key every time you are doing endgame content, you loot a few keys while doing the end game content, and when you have 40 spare of every key you will make a portal key to catacombs for bonus content :)
