You can't get into Spire Fortress until later. For now, keep doing other missions for the Castle.

Exactly. Daunting (it was to me at least), but that's how it is.

In case that wasn't clear, yes, you should try going west of Fort Remote.

Ok, I must not be as bright as the previous poster. I have been through every area that I can find west of Fort Remote. I have chased off Rentar and have gone back to the Castle and been given the mission to hunt down Rentar, but I still cannot get anywhere.

At this point the only remaining quests are:

Hunt down Rentar
Darkside Loyalists
Metal for Dawdy (bug)
Go to the Castle (been there done that, still there)
More Chitrachs (bug)
Abyss Report
Message: Spire Fort
Liberate the Spire
Message: Bargha

Essentially all of the remaining missions require you to be able to get into Spire Fort and the Abyss, but I simply cannot do it. I am missing something, but not sure what.

Thanks

Metal for Dawdy is not a bug; you can, by design, bring him as much metal as you desire and the quest never goes away.

Okay, so if you've removed Rentar from her fortress west of Fort Remote, then you should've been told by Starrus to speak with Rone about getting to the Spire Fortress.

Rone should tell you to speak with Vidrain in Fort Avernum, who will calibrate the portal to launch you over thataway.

Thanks, Ephesos. I knew there was something simple I was missing and that must be it.

A4 forum needs a FAQ link. That way the questions that most people have can be more easily answered. It seems like once a week someone wants to get into the spiral fort, or Erika's tower or Rentar's Keep.
