Can't get past Source Temple Door

[Monty <3]

So apparently I haven't gotten enough star/blood stone to progress, i've looked at the list and gone back through and im sure I have all of them except the one you get from making the decision between saving the old guy or the young guy at the start of the game becuase I forgot about that quest and didn't do it before I killed Evelyn and Therlyon. I might have missed the one between Cyseal and Luccula forest but I doubt it, I just don't remember picking it up. Help pls

You can cheat your way past that door so it seems, and Larian has no intention of fixing it...

Throw your pyramid on the floor in front of the door and then drag it to toss it to the other side of the source temple door and then use the other pyramid to teleport behind the door and to the waypoint...

Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh...

The door isn't checking the number of star/blood stones you've found, but the number of portals opened in the homestead.

Blood stones will not open a portal until they are used.

Where is Zixzax? If by the statue or a portral, enter the last opened portal, proceed far enough to trigger a cutscene conversation with Astarte or the demon and return to the main section of the homestead through the portal. If a portal has not been completely opened, it will not have a map marker yet, so if there is an active portal with no marker, that is the one holding up the remaining portals from being opened (besides the Forbidden Zone, which can not be activated).

If you don't see Zixzax, run around the homestead, keeping an eye on the mini-map for green dots. He is likely waiting beside a portal for the source hunters to show up to open it.

If the homestead is still under attack, it is by design that no new portals are opening.

Ugh I had no idea that you opened portals by using blood stones, it's one of those things where I kept them in case of emergencies and never used them haha, like hoarding potions in skyrim. Thank you, im dumb.

Not Dumb, just unawares of the game mechanics first playthrough. Learn by trial and error since there is no manual for EE as yet. The manual for Classic gives you the general idea but a few things are very different in EE.

wait
what

I'm at the source temple door, so far got into 3 instances, where my XP bar was at ~97% and I needed next level badly, only to be solved by activating Blood Stone?
I feels stupid now.

There is only one quest where you need a blood stone (in Luculla Forest) so there is no need to hoard them. Save one for that quest and use the others in combat if you are really low on health.

[Ssenkrad_II]

There are actually two quests in Luculla Forest that use a blood stone!

My bad, must be early Alzheimer.

Yes, there is. In the library select D:OS EE and in the middle of the Links column on the right, click Manual.

Double the Alheimer. Forgot to check for updaes in the library since I got this game. And as to the blood stones, you really don't have to use either one and can let the NPC expire if you are so inclined.

SAVIOR!! I too was locked out of the Source Temple and scouring the interwebs to find out why I couldn't proceed.

Two things I want to point out:

1: you DO NOT need to carry your inert stones around
2: simply return to the End of Time (assuming you activated enough Stones) and make sure you explored all the new chambers there. Zixaxis will be standing next to the portal. The newly opened portal will be white in color as well, indicating its unexplored.

Source Temple door will now open!
