Phase Portal
A Phase Portal is one way to get alot of money. you start by killing a Beast by the name of phase..... When you kill the Beast it will open up a phase portal. There will be alot of mobs in there but it is worth the risk. if you die in the phase portal and dont finish it you need to reaturn to the entrence of the dungen. The phase portals are random generated and you will get a diffent one each time. Have fun.
What you will find in a Phase Portal
You will find lots of beast and loot in the Phase Portal. Its a big risk going in the Phase Portals but rewarding to find lots of loot.

Note that the "Vanquish your foes with haste" does not give you experience. Meh.

I did the Act 2 Choose A Door challenge the other day, and the door I chose released a few enemies. I'm not sure whether the lack of a reward means I picked door (a), since the released enemies means that there technically wasn't "nothing" behind the door, but if that was door (a), it might be worth mentioning those enemies in the reward description.

Phase Beasts are randomly placed when a map is generated or reset (repopulated and fog-of-war blackout returned). The challenge map is randomly set when the beast is spawned. If you backup your character before slaying it, its portal will lead to the same challenge every time you restore and slay it. If the map resets, a new beast will be spawned elsewhere on the map with a new challenge (which can be the same by chance).

To find a specific challenge, leave the map where the beast was found long enough for a reset (minutes or hours depending on where else you travel to), then back up your character and return to the map. If it hasn't reset, quit, restore the backup, and wait longer. If reset, find the new beast, slay it, and enter its portal. If the challenge map is the one you want, then quit and backup. You can repeatedly play the same one by quitting before using the exit portal. If it's the wrong challenge, then quit, restore, and enter the map again to trigger repopulation.

You are incredibly right. It is a great risk, but with great rewards. I went in and almost got destroyed by hordes of spiders, but it was woth it in the end.
