Hi. I just noticed, in the final mission of the "Forging the Blackwand" SA, it has 'Portals (3X)' under notable npcs. I did this mission once, and found..I'd estimate in the 30's or 40's of portals, in, as the article says, random places. Unsure if this is intentional or not...

Also note; The portals spawn Behemoths which can see through all forms of stealth and invisibility, including Hide.

I was the one who added that note, I remember those portals.

As we all know, these portals can spawn in regular Oranbegan maps, but only in one room (the infamous portals room, which has ten or so of them). In this mission instead, those portals could be anywhere: regular rooms, corridors, boss rooms...anywhere. Their behavior was not strange: they spawned the same old demons (behemoths) as regular ones do. They auto-agro on nearby players, just like regular ones, so nothing strange there. The location is the strange part here. I did the mission twice, with a different char each time, and both times I saw three of them. I don't know if I have understood this correctly: Have you found like 30 or 40 of those portals in this mission? Or is that the level? :-?

Forging the Blackwand Mission

(PORTALS: For some reason, this mission tends to place Portals in places where they shouldn't be. They are in random rooms and even in corridors, and act just like regular portals, spawning Behemoths just the same way as the regular Portals do. Just be warned that they can be placed anywhere. I have no idea if this is intended or a bug.)
