Blood/Inert Stones?

[jasongreen06]

Reading through various forums, I am still unable to access the Source Temple and have things to learn, but unsure what. I have 7 Blood/8 Inert and have done all quests apart from Zalandor (messed up with initiation and killed Loic before 2nd stone?). All forums say I have enough and have gone through the list and cant achieve anymore? Really want to finish..

did you do all dialog at homestead? esp with zixzax and various npcs in rooms? you need to acquire knowledge to progress story in general.

7 Blood Stones? You didn't use any of them?

[Dragon]

Blood stones and inert stones are two different things, not two equivalent things.

You need to use some of those blood stones.

Blood stones don't count for opening rooms in your Homestead, and they also don't count for entering the Source Temple, and they also don't become inert stones, until you use them.

[Reality]

you have to use some of the blood stones to turn them into inert stones - this can be done by putting them in the hotbar (like a potion) or right clicking them and picking the option.

You need to have turned 12 stones into inert (don't need to carry them around) and then view all homestead memories to get past the door. Any stones after 12 you can keep or save as flashheals during the final boss gauntlent.

the door can also be passed with a physics exploit... you can't throw a teleport pyramid through it from the inventory but if place the pyramid on the ground and then throw it without putting it in the inventory you can toss it through the door with no problem.
