Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Source temple - how do I get inside the outer door

Killed Balberith, talked to shaerea, got the magic stone. But how do I enter the door with the elemental symbols, guarded by the firespewing sentinels? It's locked, along with each and every single gate sorrounding the temple.

God this is literally driving me insane. There is obviously a lever puzzle involved, but how? The stone doors surrounding the temple remain locked, unbashable, unexploitable, unskippable.

The only thing I have been able to do, is to switch off the fire in the area with the lava tiles.

For those wondering, this is the door that dooms my progress.

Please

Is the amount of bloodstones you have available relevant to entering the outer doors of the temple? Right now I am sitting at 12. Also, sorry for bumping, but after spending another 5 hours trying to figure this out, I am losing my sanity.

Could someone, who has entered the temple and is obviously smarter than me, please direct me?

Hey Cavemandiary,

I'm stuck at the same door. I'm playing on DOSEE and I think it must be different from the original. I've got the fire, air, and earth levers switched but can't find the mirror to get to the water(snowflake) lever.

I hope someone who's passed this part can share how to do it!

I've been running around in circles for 5 hours now!

How did you manage to flip those switches in the first place? all doors are locked in my game, no way in.

GO right above the swamp portal, that is, north east to the swamp portal, you will find an area covered by black bricks and a totum that will MUTE you units, DON't step on to them just yet cause they will explode... you need a way to detect invisible traps. And you also need both air-mege teleport or rouge teleport.
1) kill the totum, that will allow your teleport skill
2) try throw a grenade(don't throw) and hove the circle around and you will detect invisible mines, or try to cast a area spell, that will work too.
3)teleport your unit on to one tile that will not explode.
4) teleport again to the lever[behind the totum], the right door will unlock.
5) pull the lever and the traps will fail,bring your party in, and enter the area behind the the central square, that is to the top part of the map.
6) there you find a altar and a lever, to unlock it you need to find three statues that match the three glowing patterns around the altar, bring them in and place them on the pattern, pull the lever, and boom, comes the portal mirror to the WATER element switch.

Thank you Banananana, that was most helpful. I will try to see if I can find those statues. Are they around the source temple entrance, or scattered around the entire phantom forest?

I found a statue named "Worshippers statue" as well as "knights statue". Knights statue makes sense, given that one of the symbols is two swords, but the other two symbols on the altar is a fish and an insect. How does that relate to worshipping? Am I even on the right track?

Okay, turns out that the insect was worshipping once I looked closer, but I am no where near close to finding the water/fish statue, despite looking all over the map. Tips?

How did you unlock earth and air? I found fire/water really quickly, but I've spent HOURS trying to get the last two. I feel like I've probably hit that wall where you've looked at something so much you just can't see it, but if someone could let me know or at least give me a little nudge in the right direction for those I'd be super happy. :(

If you still need this, the fish statue should be a little north of the statues platform in the northeast most part of the forest (where you placed the other two statues and one of the elemental symbol doors is located). There will be some fish on the ground. Here's generally where I found it.

OK, to get the water/snow lever:
Go to the place with the three statues then drag them all onto their respective images on the circular stone. This will allow a portal mirror to magically appear. It transports you to the snow lever.

Finally go through the door.

Not running around like a headless chicken anymore ;p

How did you get the air switch??

To get the air switch you need a character with 5 points in telekinesis. If you stand in front of the gate (with the air switch visible a little way further), you'll see there's a gate key beyond the gate to your left. Grab it with telekinesis. It'll open the gate and you can walk to the switch.

I just teleported a companion through the gate lol

That actually works, too

Of course, it will lower that person's attitude towards you. No idea what happens if you do it too often. A mutiny of sorts?

Can't lower the main characters' attitudes, can it?

Gate Key will not Teleport. Telekinesis is at 8. Any Answers?
