Help! I think an Astral Plane Portal Bug has ruined my Honor Mode run

-

Hey folks, I’m really worried here. I’m currently playing through Honor Mode and I just made it to the end of Act 2. After defeating Ketheric and going through the fight in the Astral Prism, I logged off quickly because my wife needed my attention. I looted everything available and clicked to exit while still inside the Astral Prism. Fast forward to today, I loaded my game and the portal to return to my camp is missing! I tried talking to the Emperor again, but he only suggests I consume the Astral Tadpole, and doesn’t reopen the portal for me. I can’t reload an earlier save since I’m in Honor Mode. Is there any way to fix this? Did this bug completely ruin my run?

Wow, I’m in a similar jam! I just cleared the Astral Prism and when I fast-traveled to my camp, it glitched me to some 2D camp map where nothing works. It completely locked my save. I’m looking into mods to unlock fast travel points, but I’m not sure how safe that is.

I feel you! I’m hesitant to use mods too—worried they’ll mess with getting achievements in Honor Mode.

This has been happening a lot lately. I read that some users found a solution involving a mod (you’ll need script extender for achievements). You might want to file a bug report with Larian as well, although I’ve heard they don’t usually help with this specific issue. Note, though, my link’s about a different issue, not directly yours.

This really sucks. Have you thought about trying some mods? They might be able to help fix these kinds of issues.

It might be worth a shot to reload your game! Even though it’s Honor Mode, I’ve heard that sometimes just closing the game and reloading the exact save can trigger some events. Also, checking your game integrity could help. Oh, and there’s this odd glitch with the pixie bell from Act 2; if you turn the pixie into an animal, it could help you with fast travel where it shouldn’t normally work!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into the pixie idea. I have already closed and reloaded the game, but the portal is still missing.

One thing you could try is jumping back up to the place where you entered the plane. I had success with that once and it opened the exit for me.

Are you talking about the floating stones? I did try that already, but the portal still doesn’t pop up.
