How in the world do I go through the portal of power????

[VGAglory]

I keep landing on the portal of power, but there appears to be no way to select to roll two dice against strength or craft????? My only option is to roll the dice and move on?????? Help!!!

[VGAglory]

and i have the talisman! Unable to proceed through the portal of power!!! Help!!!!!

Are you doing a Warlock quest? If you are on one, you have to finish it first. Regardless if you have a Talisman already.

[VGAglory]

never mind, stupid rule I had already accepted the warlock quest, even though I had a talisman it didnt count, seems a really odd rule......

[Brickmoon]

That happened to me before...the only way I found to fix it is to give up that game and start a new one....

A tutorial pop-up does appear to warn you before you accept a warlock quest that you won't be able to go through the portal until you've completed it, but most people have switched the tutorials off it seems.

It is a strange rule, but it can be used to your advantage in Frostmarch - there is a spell which forces someone to go on a quest, so if someone looks like they're heading through the portal you can cast it on them and slow them down!

Yep, but also this Spell can be used at someone who already is in the Inner Region to hope that they will finish the quest and will have to teleport to the Warlock's Cave.

I know this is extremely unlikely but I feel like mentioning it anyway so that people don't lose hope completely. There are 2 cards (so far) that allow you to bypass the portal of power completely.

The Magic Portal (if you can roll a 6)
and the Pit Fiend (If you can defeat it and it hasn't been killed already)

Just to be clear the Portal is in the base game and the Pit Fiend is in the reaper expansion.

Never give up!

The other reason a player might not be able to move through the portal is if Cerberus is at the entrance. He has to be defeated before he will let anyone pass through. Oh, the Magic Portal will bypass Cerberus.

Never give up! :dice2:

If you've got an incomplete quest and roll a 6 for the Magic Portal or defeat the Lord of the Pit you still can't go through =p

Oh dear.. maybe this was a bug previously and I didnt realise it had been fixed.

Sorry for misleading anyone.

[ToothlessNightFury]

How come Tyr???

[Artaterxes]

Huh? You can't teleport to the Inner Region with an incomplete quest???
I thought pg 17 says you just can't open the portal of power...

[ToothlessNightFury]

"The Warlock will prevent any character who has accepted a quest from opening the Portal of Power until he has first completed his quest."

This means of course that a character may land on the Plain of Peril by way of the Magic Portal or by defeating the Lord of the Pit. It does not matter whether or not you have a quest, as you are not opening the Portal of Power!!!

[Artaterxes]

Yeah exactly...sorry Tyr I'm confused lol.
I was counting on those things in Frostmarch in case someone forces a quest on me with that spell, haha

[Maelstrom]

I don't know if that is working as intended but I wanted to see for myself so I created a game with 3 AI players and kept playing until the magic portal was revealed.

Only one AI player was left and she was on the crown of command, the warlock quest I picked was to take one life (so I couldnt complete it accidentally) and although I was able to roll a 6 and the plain of peril was flashing, after I pressed continue my turn ended and I did not move.

I was not able to complete the quest or "cheat" using those 2 cards so I was stuck and had to quit the game which is a shame as I had 17 STR and 17 CRAFT and would have slaughtered the remaining player if I could get there.
