ok, i know that by plot design (albeit a rather weak one IMHO) the pyramids are removed from the inventory by some deus-ex-machina-type device as of the beginning of Act IV. while i don't see the reason for this at all, I wonder:

Do they show back up in your inventory after you finish the game?

In other words, does your character get to use them for all future battlefields type quests? Because its really going to suck if you don't and you can't. I find running back and forth extremely tedious when there is a known easier way, which was denied for mysterious and apparently unjustified plot reasons.

(hm, if this is the case I may actually have developed a reason to use the missing item hack and put the pyramids back into my inventory so that i don't have to run back n forth. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

Or does the ability to open rifts solve that problem?
