Did Halsin's Portal Disappear Because of a Bug?

-

Hey everyone, I’m playing through Act 2 for the first time and I reached a quest where I had to protect Halsin’s portal. However, the portal suddenly disappeared, and my character remarked something like, “Oh, Halsin must have died.” I noticed that the portal still had around 70% health left. Is this a designed event in the game or did I somehow miss something about the portal’s health? It’s really frustrating because I can’t remove the shadowcurse now, but I’m not into save-scumming. Just want to know if it was scripted or if it might have been a bug. (Apologies if my English isn’t perfect!)

Sounds like a bug to me, too. I’ve encountered quite a few glitches in this game. Keep an eye out for any weird behavior from NPCs or events as you play. Good luck trying to lift that curse!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll stay vigilant for any weirdness.

It’s not supposed to happen like that. If the portal still had health left, Halsin should have appeared. You’re probably right; you may have missed some enemy attacks or something might have bugged out. It has happened to me before where I had to restart a section because of weird glitches.

Yeah, I had a similar issue with the portal disappearing, and it really threw off my game. Definitely feels like a bug.
