Homestead rooms not unlocking

[costanzojt]

So, in our adventure we've made it to the source temple awaiting entrance to the trials. We're told by the "face in the door" we need more star stones to enter. Now I'm not sure how many we've collected over the course of the game but it's a fair amount (at least ten, maybe 14).

However, we haven't unlocked very much at the homestead: just the hall of heroes, our bedrooms, one of the elemental halls, and the place of secrets. And the homestead is still getting attacked by meteors. Quickly checking a guide online, I found that apparently there should be a bunch more opened up. Did we do something wrong, or is there (gulp) something wrong with the game and we can't continue?

We've been playing for at least 80 hrs and would hate for us to be blocked from finishing....

Who cares man. I care about maximum damage or DPS. What kind of build do you have ?

Check if you have unused bloodstone in your inventory. You have to 'use' the stones to open more rooms. All you need to do you use them is right click and select use. Bloodstones can be used to heal your SH to 100%.

Each time you use a stone it opens another room. I'd do 1 stone at a time and talk to Zig Zax after using each stone, just to make sure a room opens, then reapeat process.

You also use bloodstones for quests like healing alphie or Frederick, but just using them yourself will do the trick.

To get the meteors attack to stop you need to destroy the bloodstone. See below:

The temple where the void demons are has a bloodstone that can only be destroyed with a tenebrium weapon. You would have to have done the ques tthat gives +1 tenebrium skill already. This temple is in the northwestern edge of the desert (past all the spiders) The demons their are immune to everything so its best to take the left path where there are only immaculates. Then go into the green mirror and go invisible past a few void demons and destroy the blood crystal.

I think this mission might be mandatory, though not positive. There are a few extra bloodstones in game so you may be able to skip a couple missions that lead to bloodstones.

It is in fact mandatory. You must stop the attack on the end of time before you can open all the rooms. And only then can you get into the source temple.

Thanks, guys... this is what I needed! I've accomplished most quests in the game to this point, but crucially missed the "black gate" section of Luculla. Truthfully, I thought that location was going to come into play near the end of the game on account of all the invulnerable enemies. So I skipped it at the time. At any rate, guess I should have read my log a little closer. Off to take care of that blood stone...
