Okay, I’ve only been in there a few times and mostly died doing so. So the question is once I have killed the bosses in there how do I get out? 
I got the head for the Outcast the other day and ran around nearly the whole area and couldn’t find any exit. I eventually gave up and exited and restarted the session. I’m assuming it would be an Aetherial rift since that’s how I get into the area, but where does the exit hide itself? Or is it the case that once everything’s dead I can put a riftgate down?
You can only exit it when you kill the last boss of the dungeon, which activates a stone that teleports you out.
Only other way is to end the session.
Is there an onscreen message to say that? Because I think I killed all the bosses except for the ones in the Flames arena - didn’t do them. Would that cause the exit to not trigger?
I’m asking because I’m just about to try that area on Elite for the first time and don’t really want to have to exit the session again.
the only bosses you really NEED to kill are the three Stooges (aka Reanimated Councelors) at the end of Old Town. Can’t really explain how to go there but it isn’t like there was plenty of ways either :rolleyes:
There is an antechamber after the final boss fight Van Aldritch and his two counselors, where you will have a pylon upstairs for teleporting to the entrance, pretty much in a similar way as the Steps of Torment.
Um, must have missed the antechamber since I did kill the 3 stooges. 
Okay, thanks all. Now I know what to look for when I try it next.
Don´t forget to open the loot boxes on your way out. 
Don’t forget to look for any hidden doors before leaving so that you don’t miss any secret:)
Think I did loot the chests tsuelue, just didn’t find the exit at the same time.
Thanks fir the tip Chthon. I was more interested in finding a way out then secret area hunting. Will keep that in mind for next time.
The “exit” is just past the loot chests. In a very dark corner.
That might explain it. I’m blind without my glasses - can’t see clearly more than about 6 inches in front of my nose without them. I’ll make sure the lenses are clean before I go in there again.
I think Chthon was referring to the story “secret” there.
The pillar is honestly very hard to see depending on the orientation of your camera so I would understand you mid miss it. Honestly very similar to Step of Torment but hidden by the fact it is inside a building.
And I don’t recall ever getting a message like you get in SoT or BoC saying “something near you shakes” or whatever, the message appears when you kill the Dungeon boss
A message does appear. I think it’s “Something stirs nearby” or something was activated nearby.
Well, I rarely wander into the lower levels of SoT either since I die a lot in there too. But my Conjurer’s going great guns and has cleared SoT and BoC so hoping the build is going to stand up to Port Valbury in Elite.
I don’t change my camera viewpoint so that may also have been part of the problem. I think I do recall seeing that message Norzan, but expected another boss to suddenly appear out of nowhere (Crate devs can be sneaky like that you know :D).
Darn, came so close. Got as far as the 3 stooges in Elite, but didn’t get out of all the crap they were throwing at me fast enough and died. Did get Theron’s head though so completed the Outcast’s quest. Also did the Flames arena and the other boss up in the loop area so pretty pleased with how the pets are dealing with everything. They even took down my first Nemesis - Valdaran.
You get the message “A nearby monolith stirs” when you loot the largest chest in SoT. Unsure about BoC.
Come to think of it, what´s up with this moniliths anyway?
You rub them gently, and they transport you out? Why, how?
Who put them there? Somebody tell me!
Also: maybe they should be more visible. Or be illuminated when activated or something.
