I seem to be stuck in Homestead Hall

[Exterus]

Hi!

Loving the game, but I seem to have encountered a bit of a problem. I'm around lvl 5 and I've just come back to Homestead Hall for the first time since first discovering it and the imp guy has just showed me the Hall of Heroes. But now I can't seem to get back to the "main" world. The only portals that are activated lead to the Hall of Heroes and the Observatory. And in both those places, there are no ways of getting back either. I tried using the pyramid (I put one of them in the inn in the first town), but it just makes a little sound and then nothing happens. I've talked to everyone and looked around as best I can.

I have no idea what to do. Have I missed something glarlingly obvious? Any help you guys can provide would be appreciated.

Yes you have. There's a quick travel button under the minimap that you can use to travel to waypoints.

[Exterus]

Doh. Of course. Thank you. :)

Haha xD you were not the only one with that problem :P

Ha, I'm only level 2 and stuck here! thanks for the tip! I'm guessing I shouldn't be here yet. Except I can't see any quick travel button under my mini map

[jakena_xilo]

Hmmm, Please help. Why can't I find the quick travel under the mini map someone said to use? If I open the map, I have nothing under my mini map at all apart from waypoint coords. Should I just load an old auto save. I've been stuck here ages.

speak to all the npc's, the imp unlocks the option after covnersation, after you speak to the weaver.

[jakena_xilo]

hmmm, I think its because I haven't properly descovered any waypoints before coming here.. I've gotten the exploration bonus for discovering them, however, i thought that was it, i'd discovered them, but on looking, I haven't becaue I didn't click them. Kind of sucks

[Seigensi]

don't need to click if you get the xp the waypoints are unlocked.

[Seigensi]

you can't get to the homestead without passing at least the waypoint at the harbour, that means that in the homestead you didn't speak to the npc's to get the rift travel option, failing that it might be a bug but I think it's unlikely.

[Syrris]

You don't open your map. It's part of the standard HUD. You do need to talk to the Weaver and then Zixzax while there since he'll give you the first teleport pyramid and transit rune; the latter is what enables the HUD element.

Waypoints don't need to be clicked. As soon as you get the explore XP for moving near one, it's active. You can't get to the homestead without first enabling the Cyseal Harbor one AFAIK.

Ahh cool, I thought i'd finished talking to everyone, clicking on everything! Thankyou ^^ I've been trying everything for a couple of hours!

I know this reply is two years after the fact, but no less of a solution.
When I got stuck in Homestead Hall, Zixzax, of course, had not given me the red pyramid either. However, I opened my main menu, accessed Waypoints, transported to Cyseal-North Gate and was immediately greeted by the Wizard Arhu who gave me the red pyramid. It seems that he and Zixzax are agents of the same purpose. Use the pyramid to find the other. Pick the other one up and be on your way.

I hope this helps.

Yes, that was changed in the Enhanced Edition, to make getting the pyramid more explicit, since some people skipped though the dialogue in D:OS Classic, or just missed the comment and pyramid / instructions placed in the inventory in the homestead.

@sweetheart OMG thank you! i'm so blind :D
