Zillvr Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Throughout the beta, I always wondered what that odd thing is, in front of the first portal our characters appear from. The way I see it, it's another receptacle like the Moon Stone or the stand for the Divining Rod in Don't Starve's adventure mode. Anyone got ideas what else it could be for? A keyhole maybe to other realms. But where's the key now...? (cue dramatic sound effect): dun dun dunnn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage156 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I actually wondered that myself but didn't think about it too much cos... y'know fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlZalph Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Perhaps when the Forge goes live the final boss will drop a staff or somethin' to shove in there to start some puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffinBy Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 From Pugna's quotes, I think he has the key. Spoiler BOARLORD_ROUND4_END = { "Know this, Gatekeepers:", "Once you are dead...", "We will activate the Gateway.", "We'll return to the hub and destroy the Throne.", "My warriors are proud and strong.", "And we will end this all, for good.", }, BOARLORD_DEFEATED_BATTLECRY = -- Players win { "No!", "Eons of training, only to be felled by the Throne's lapdogs.", "Please. No more, Gatekeepers. We surrender.", "The day is yours, as is the Gateway.", }, BOARLORD_PLAYERS_DEFEATED_BATTLECRY = -- Players lost { "At last, our realm returns to glory!", "Warriors, rekindle the Gateway...", "Today we take the Throne!", }, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillvr Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 "The day is yours, as is the Gateway." If Pugna has the key, then maybe its at this point in his monologue that the key appears and we activate receptacle line The Wooden Thing in adventure mode then a pop up appears. Do we get to select either The Constant or The Hub? such is the question... hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fimmatek Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I read many of the characters' speechfiles, Spoiler and so I'm quite sure that it is a keyhole. I also noticed that there are normal and "full" quotes for it, and the lavaarena portal, through which we came, can be generic or "on" (I never heard the latter in-game yet). That's why I assume we will get the key from the Boarrior as part of his loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I know I asked this before but does Pugna has his own magic? Is that how characters keep poofing out of existance? IF that's the case, Pugna might have the power to make that hole work. Wouldn't be surprised if devs put the keyhole there just so we could speculate.

Xedlord Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I always thought that that was how the keyhole part of the ancient gateway looked on this side. And that the people in the Forge had they're own version of the ancient key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmattack Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 If they have the key why didn't they just leave before we got here? They seem to want to leave and fight the nightmare throne so badly, go do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to fight on your own turf y'know? Then once they're out of the way the true goal is "free" for the taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't pass through a room when the exit or entrance is locked you need both to be unlocked at once for it to happen. Hence why the Metheus Puzzle was all about two players connecting to eachother. Because putting humans through agony is worth making an obscure reference to a miniscule lore element that doesn't come into place at all until months later.

Then how do the pitpigs get from one block to another? Does Pugna throw them like footballs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
