Played through the game with a friend all the way up until you get to the door dude that asks for your bloodstones. I imagine this is the watershed event that marks the beginning of the end of the game, but we apparently did not find all the necessary stones. We tried for a little bit to retrace our steps but couldn't do much before we gave up.

We want to start up playing again but we really don't want to backtrack everywhere we've been to find these things. Help?

Do you happen to have any unused blood stones in your inventory ?

There should be many guides somewhere on the internet where to find star and blood stones. If you sold them - I don't know if that is possible - no guide can help you because then you must find the trader you sold them to.

The door is actually checking to see if all of the portals in the homestead have been opened (except for the Forbidden Zone one).

You can not sell blood stones, and given their use provides experience, a full heal and resurrects any dead party members (plus used for a couple of side quests), even without the connection to opening portals in the homestead, they shouldn't be discarded.
The inert stones are not required, though if you keep them it does make it easier to keep track of how many blood/star stones you have found.

Check the homestead, make sure you stop the attack if you have not already done so, look for Zixzax and see if he is hanging around by the statue or a portal waiting for your main characters to open the next portal, or waiting at the last opened portal for you to enter, get the cutscene conversation with Astarte or the demon and leave through the portal to get back to the main section of the homestead. A map marker is added when a portal is completely open, so if there is an active portal with no map flag, that is the one holding up opening any further portals.


It is also possible to bypass the door in the Source temple.
Drop a teleporter stone in front of the door (I got it to work dropping on the left side, a few steps back), then drag and drop it from the past the door (rotate the camera to see; you might need to move the cursor around a bit to find a place where the pyramid is outlined in white and you can drop it).

Huh. Well, yeah, our homestead is still under attack, and by the looks of it, we still are missing quite a few portals. We've spoken to Zixzax before, but he isn't by any portals, and he doesn't talk about anything new. I have a feeling we might've compromised our homestead, as we've messed around in there quite a bit. For instance, I'm pretty sure we killed all of Zixzax's friends with a poison slug...

I don't know if that's pertinent, but yeah, we've definitely rolled through the End of Time enough to have uncovered anything to move us forward. I guess I'll try the portal stone trick and get back to you...

End the attack on the homestead, and portals will start opening again (for all the star stones found and blood stones used since the attack began).
In northern Luculla Forest, there is a large blood stone, which you need to destroy using tenebrium damage.
