Source Temple

[Theinvoker]

it's really hard to go in
i don't want to watch the solution no youtube this time but i want a little help. after completing the things about Zandalor in ....that town, i have found the rune to enter the temple defeating Balberith but i all i know is that the rune would let me go in. now i'm at the temple and there are a lot of closed foors
i saw the symbols of the 4 elements
i saw that one of them can be reached using a portale but other 2 portals i have found odon't bring me there

I would like to know if there are some instructions to read somethere,if i have to find a book or something

[Theinvoker]

ok i unlocked 3 of 4...only air is missing now.
Just tell mewhat i have to look for,but don't say exactly what i have to do

Hitting Alt can help you spot keys that can be on the other sides of gates, which you can get with Telekinesis or a teleport spell (maybe throwing a teleporter pyramid through a gate... never tried there).

[Theinvoker]

i tried the pyramid launch but i couldn't find a place where it was allowed. i used teleport. but i read that this was an alternative method. is there no way to open the doors from outside?

ps: using key to highlight things is strange in this game. why can't i see everything? containers are not showed

[Raze_Larian]

You can get the key with Telekinesis from outside the gate.
A higher perception will reveal more items with Alt. Some items are excluded because they were meant to be hidden, or would just fill the screen with tooltips in some areas if all containers and scenery items, etc, were included.

[Theinvoker]

yes. tooltips are not a great idea. highlight the item would be better,
I know that tooltips explain what you are taking but they also cover the objects. Looting is a bit frustrating

Ok now i'm in the temple,but i didn't do much because i'm in front of a door that says i have to remember more. More what? i mean i did almost all i have to do.
The quests still open are only main or very minor:
A Source Hunter's Journey
Inside the Source Temple
A Voice in the Wilderness
A General's Story
A General's Tale
The Missing Threads
Follow the Wizard
Cordelia, Reanimator

You need to open the remaining portals in the homestead (except for the Forbidden Zone) to get the inner door in the Source Temple to open.
Use blood stones if you have any in your characters' inventories, or find more blood or star stones.

If the homestead is still under attack, you need to end that before more portals will be opened.

If Zixzax is standing around by the statue or a portal (you can run around looking for him; keep an eye on the mini-map for green dots, if you don't see him otherwise), you need to enter, proceed far enough to trigger a conversation and return to the main section of the homestead through the portal. Zixzax should then keep going an open more portals, if you've found additional start stones or used additional blood stones.

A map flag is only added for portals that have been completely opened, so if there is an active portal with no flag, that was the last one opened, and the one holding up more from being opened.

so i have to use the stones even if i don't have to heal? i saw that sometimes they ould be useful to finish some quest,to heal animales or humans that needed. so i didn't use them all

[rn_archl0rd]

I can only think of three times when you would use the blood stones to heal someone/something other than yourself and they occur in Cyseal and Luculla Forest. None of those three are absolutely necessary to advance the game but provide some XP. So there is no reason to hoard stones.

[Theinvoker]

They are absolutely ncessary. i used the last stone i had for nothing and then i passed the door.

You misunderstood. You need the stones to open rooms in the homestead and get to the final portal but you don't need to use them in the three instances I refer to unless you want to do so.
