Portals are special access points located throughout Ancaria.

There are three types of portals:

  • Main portals: They allow you to transport to other main portals you have already activated. There are two sets of main portals; the Ancarian main portals and the Underworld main portals. You cannot move from an Ancarian portal to an Underworld portal, nor the reverse. In multiplayer both sets of portals also let you go to the Haven Isle.
  • Two-way portals: They come in pairs, each of these portals only connect with the other portal of their pair. Sometimes the two-way portals are deactivated and the player needs an specific portal rune in the inventory to activate it, the rune will be consumed automatically when the player is near the corresponding portal.
  • One-way portals: These are portals that don't transport you to directly to another portal.

One-way portals

All the portals opened by Shafeera during the Ancarian main quest and the portal at the beginning of the Underworld main quest are one-way portals.

All the portals located on Haven Isle are one-way portals. There are three portals above ground, and several more in the basement of the tower. The three above ground are:

  • A portal into Bellevue which places you in the center of the garrison.
  • A portal to the last location your character occupied before death. If your character has never died, or in "Hard Core" mode, this portal brings you back to Haven.
  • A portal to the beginning of the Underworld Campaign, near the Dwarven Ruins. This portal is located at the far end of the peninsula opposite the tower.

The portals in the tower basement are (clockwise starting with the portal immediately to your left at the foot of the ladder):

  • To the Valley of Zhurag-Nar (just to the north of the Valley of Zhurag-Nar portal)
  • To Silver Creek (on the road towards Bravesbury; just past the road sign). If you step straight west, you will trigger the Minotaur.
  • The next room contains no portal.
  • To the lava plains of Alkazaba noc Draco, just north of the path up from the desert.
  • Into the desert, south of Urkenburgh.
  • Into the swamp, near Gloomoor.
  • To Mascarell
  • To Icecreek Pass, north and across the creek from the Icecreek portal.
  • To Braverock Castle, near the path down the hill at the south end of the castle area.
  • To the solitude of Shaddar-Nur (the western entrance to the "Spider Desert".)

The three portals to Zhurag, Icecreek and Mascarell place you very close to a regular portal.

The two portals to Mascarell and Braverock Castle are "safe", in that no enemies will be encountered upon exiting.

Through the double doors to your right are six more portals to the Underworld regions (continuing clockwise):
