After days of playing this great game...
I cannot activate the main panel in the Keep of Rentar. I crushed her minions, and before that i
redirect the beams in the lower level (the four places). Perhaps i pushed some button twice...
In that case, how can i reset the beams or how could i know if the beans are properly redirected.
And where is Erika when i need her??
Thanks to anyone who could help me to finish the
game!

There should be a reset button on Rentar's control panel. Redirect the beams, and Erika should come when all the beams are in place. Follow the standard procedure from there and voila!

If you got Erika's amulet and she doesn't appear when you enter Rentar's great hall, then you made a mistake with the buttons in the basement. If you don't have a saved game that takes you back to the point where you start with the basement buttons, you can reset the buttons from Rentar's control panel by pressing the top left button. You will have to endure being teleported away from the control panel about five times before you can reach it. After you do that, I suggest saving the game and labelling it "Rentar's buttons" so you don't have to deal with all the teleporting if you make a mistake again.

Thanks for the advice, buddies.
I will fight her until she can't teleport me any more.

Umm ... that's a bad idea. You won't be able to get to the control panel until all of the beams are in working order. You just need to go back down to the four basement areas and check to see that all beams are pointing to the middle.

How? I can't see the middle! I thought I'd gotten it right finally and sure enough, there was a new message in Rentar's Hall that said she "nervous" about the pit or something but Erika still doesn't show and when I get near the panel I get teleported out.

I've gone outside to reset the panels to start over from scratch but that doesn't work, does it? Oh boy...

Do you have the amulets, and did you remember to have Erika activate them for you? If not, you'll have to suffer through a few more teleportation episodes before you can reach the platform, assault far too many vahnatai and their summoned underlings, and finally fiddle with the control panel.

—Alorael, who can no longer remember for certain if Rentar-Ihrno continues to teleport your party indefinitely as long as the beams are not properly aligned or if she only gets five teleportations total. He suspects the former, but he's not sure. So if you can eventually reach the platform, chances are good that everything is arranged for the grand finale.

Rentar cannot teleport you out after five times, even if something is not right. If everything is right and you have the amulet activated, you won't even be teleported out once.

The thing is that Erika and Rehntar summon so many creatures it can make it hard to move. Sometimes (not often) it is quicker to get teleported away a few times instead of trying to crawl through that pit of seething minions.

I have the Amulet but I can't recall if I ever got it activated or not. I suppose a visit to Erika would tell me....?

Yeah, if you have the amulet juist go see her and tell her youve got it. If you havent got it ask her where it is, its in one of the rooms (i wouldnt explore, its kinda hazardous.)

if it says rentar is nervous etc, youve done it right.
from there on, youll just have to try to get to the control panel.
your amulet is definately activated if erika has helped you before. like when you go down into vahnatai lands, she will blow away some walls for you.
even if its not activated, it doesnt really matter.
just let yourself get teleported away a couple of times and dont get killed.

Well, Rentar has punted me twice already so maybe I'll just go that route. But I was hoping to see the showdown with Erika... :(

She dies anyway, obviously, to make the story complete for both ends. Say for, if Jeff had wanted to make an Exile 4.
