How do you unlock the portal in elementary evil? Or is this a glitch?

[Sum Lil Dum Kidd]

While I was running from Agatha and that shadow enemy, I managed to get to the portal but it was STILL locked, how do you unlock the portal to escape?

Is there a way or is it a glitch?


Note - Yes, I had to ring piece and all the soul shards but when I was running back to the portal, it was grey and locked and had to lose all of my lives after running back to it again.

Did you speed boast through the door leading to the portal?

During the Malak (Agatha's "dad") chase, you must first go back to the area where Agatha welcomed you.

*SPOILERS*

The door leading back to the portal you came in should close and Agatha will teleport infront of you. Bierce will notify you that the doors are open and run back to the portal

If those never happened, then that could be a glitch

EDIT: I was replaying the game because it's fun. I encountered the glitch. I just stayed in the area where you're suppose to be met by Agatha after escaping Malak.

Well...the door that was leading to the portal was open, naturally in the game, it should've closed then had Agatha appear there before behind me and so on.

But for me, it was open, Malak was RIGHT behind me, the door did not shut in my face, it was still open and I ran through the open door and when I got to the portal, it was still locked. I took a screenshot of Malak and the portal but the radar blocked the locked portal.

I did all of that, however the door that lead back to the portal did not close, it was left open. All other info is on the other comment but I think I figured out the bug.

I think it's because Malak was too close that the door closing did not commence, I think what I had to do was circle around Malak in the portal room, ran back into the school area, circle him again then go back to the door if he's far enough. I think that's what I had to do.

If malak is too close to you it will stay closed. I learned that the hard way.
