Do they exist thus far in game? If so, where can I find them? I must gather them all and destroy them before my friends find them >_<

To my knowledge no one has found them in EA, so I do not think they will be there. As for later in the game? Who knows.

I was wondering about that. For four players is there still a possibility of "teleporting" from one to another?
Since that was the main use of those, why not just add a "teleport to" option, I'm thinking only two pyramids will be tedious for four players.

I'm guessing the pyramids mostly are there for teleportation [to party members] convenience and to ensure parties without the teleportation spell can complete certain puzzles.
Based on the interface that appears once you interact with one of the teleporter pyramids there might actually be more than two pyramids later on in the game.

Then again since one pyramid teleports to another, I don't really see how more than two could work...

Right click your Yellow Pyramid and have a drop down like..
[Teleport to Red]
[Teleport to Blue]
[Teleport to Green]
[Drop]
[whatever else is in the typical right click drop-down lol]
Wouldn't that work?

I'd be surprised if they did more than two as the pair of pyramids has been a thing since Divine Divinity. And from a gameplay perspective, several would seem to be overpowered unless they do something like restricting them to only transporting the character using the pyramid rather than the whole team.

Looks like they are doing more than two. When you click on the Pyramids, there are slots for three other people.
Lore wise, two sets of Pyramids would make more sense than a quartet, but I understand that would make the game awkward.

I don't really feel that to be OP if we compare it with how teleport worked in DOS:EE. From anywhere you could go to any other portal. Except to solve puzzles, I never used Pyramids. I guess I could have left one near my Crafting spot, ...

I always saw the portals as an entirely different mechanism: same thing in e.g. Divinity 2 where you could warp back to the Battle Tower from anywhere and (albeit via a slightly convoluted route) get to a portal that would take you to any of the others. The pyramids were always their own thing. In DD in particular I usually left one next to a handy sleeping spot by the market unless I needed them both for something else. Edit: actually, D2 did have the pyramids, didn't it...? It's been so long since I did a full play-through and I have a terrible memory. I think that was the upshot of Zixzax's usual randomness, anyway. Further edit: apparently not, unless they've been cunningly hidden. Well thanks, memory, for being typically unreliable. <_<

I could be wrong though. Can't recall D2, I haven't played it too much. All I recall is the beginning was super hard and then WAY too easy even after switching the difficulty all the way to the max

All I recall is the beginning was super hard and then WAY too easy even after switching the difficulty all the way to the max The pyramids were quite useful in certain awkward situations, though for me their main use was a convenient route to an otherwise inconveniently-located merchant! D2 was quite absurdly difficult at the beginning. I think I died quite a lot at that first goblin camp before I'd even got away from the village. I was grateful of its comparative ease later on because I'm lazy.

Do we know what happens if we don't get the pyramid from the ship before it crashes?

Even if it is destroyed at some point and you did not pick them up, I'm confident you'll still be able to recuperate them somewhere.

Also, where the hell is the pyramid O.O I spent quite a bit of time but couldnt find it.

No, we are talking about the ship you'll use to leave the island.

I am talking of the island, where Fort Joy is located and you can leave the fort and get rid of the source collars with all your charakters.

I found the third pyramid! It is in the room behind the door which cannot be unlocked (there is a hidden switch) in Ryker's basement.

Hi Everyone, I am currently on Reapers Coast and did not have any pyramid I found. I went back to Lady Vengeance to look and no pyramid to be seen in Dallis' room nor was I able to find the secret chamber which I am assuming I may need to have at least one pyramid? Any help would be appreciated thank you

Hello
[spoiler]
4th Pyramid is located in Archives on Bloodmoon Island.[/spoiler]
Be aware of fact that Pyramid CAN BE DESTROYED by AoE skills and such while it's dropped on the ground. I had yellow pyramid dropped on the ground near source fountain in the basemenet so I can fast tp-in to refill my source points.
Then there was some fight in the basement and my pyramid got destroyed once and for all :( If you want to have fast tp to source refill place, put it into some cabin there.
