A6 - Great Portal Papers?

[schulkdog]

Hey I can find the great portal papers under the portal, please help!

[Lilith]

Enter the underground area near the portal (the entrance is a little to the northeast). It's full of demons now, so watch out. Head southwest, then north. The papers are in the northwestern room, guarded by sentinels.

This was a tough quest. I had to come back several times.

 

As I recall, it's downstairs and through the dining hall. You then come to a T. Go right (East) from the T and battle your way clockwise until the end. There will be a pedestal with the papers.

 

I believe a Piercing Crystal is required to enter the last room. Personally, I had Dispel Barrier long before I could handle this quest.

[schulkdog]

ah, I have one dispel barrier crystal. I'm doing this guest for that spell.

I finished it, and I had three people- a level 18 fighter, lvl 17fighter/priest, and a lvl17 archer/mage. With the use of several energy potions and several scrolls and one scribbane, I made it through and killed all the demons. (I had to reload several times though.)

[Ephesos]

When I first did that quest, I was also doing it in order to learn Dispel Barrier. I battled through the demons easily a dozen times, only to realize I did not have a piercing crystal.

 

...pretty sure I edited myself up some skill at Dispel Barrier, retrieved the papers, then un-edited myself. Yep. I did find more piercing crystals later, so I didn't feel too much remorse.

I probably did this quest a little early, but I was able to complete it once I realized that I didn't have to destroy the two sentinels. It's a smash and grab, not a search and destroy.

I found it was a long battle but do-able once I figured to take the sentinals one at a time.

You didn't have to kill them?. If I had known that it would have saved me some time.

Your quest is to get the papers. If you have Adrenaline Rush it's very easy to just run in there, grab the papers and get out. If not, you may have to sacrifice a character to cover the rest of the party's retreat.

If you sneak in, you can attack them one at a time. Crowd around blue first, I think red has a good ranged attack.

 

The worms were the worst thing in there.
