SERESGENUS EPHEMERALITY Home Portal: Where It Is, How to Set a Heart and Travel

Quick answer

The home portal is the large stone frame with diamond-shaped slots that stands in the base area at the starting area. Hold out a world Heart at it and hold F to set the Heart, then walk into the portal once the slot lights up — the screen names the destination, e.g. 'Step into the portal to travel to Frost Veil'.

• Where: the base area at the starting area — a big stone frame lined with diamond-shaped slots
• Set a Heart: hold out the world's Heart at the portal and hold F until it slots in and lights up
• Travel: step into the activated portal and you arrive in the named next world

Where to find the home portal

The home portal — the game treats it as your base portal — is a large stone frame with diamond-shaped slots, and it stands in the base area at the starting area. In one group session, players who were hunting for it were pointed to the starting area ("di tempat awal", as the chat put it), the same spot where the group was building its crafting table.

So when you need it, head back to where the run started and look for the stone frame rather than a small device or a menu option. If you are still finding your feet, the beginner guide explains how a run is structured from the start.

How to set a Heart in the portal

The portal only becomes a travel surface once a Heart is set in it. The sequence works the same way every time:

1. Hold out the world Heart you want to set. Each destination needs its corresponding Heart, and the Verdant Heart is the one you set first.
2. Hold F at the portal. The in-game prompt reads "Hold out the Verdant Heart at the portal and hold F."
3. Watch the slot light up. The Heart is inserted into one of the diamond slots and the portal surface becomes a travel surface.
4. Walk into the portal. The screen tells you where you are heading — for example, "Step into the portal to travel to Frost Veil."

Each Heart fills its own diamond slot on the frame, and in a completed run the same insert-and-travel sequence played out for every Heart in turn: Verdant, Frost, Dune, Elder and Magma. For the Hearts themselves in more depth, see the hearts guide and the dedicated how to set a Heart walkthrough.

The pairing was shown for every Heart across one full run: hold out the Heart, hold F, watch the slot light, then step in.

The six-world route through the portal

In one completed solo run, progression moved through six worlds in this order: Verdant Isle, Frost Veil, Aridune, Elder Forest, Vulkaris and The Abyss. Each new world was entered through the base portal right after the previous world's Heart was set, and the run's completion screen confirmed "6 of 6 worlds opened". That is the rhythm of a full run: earn the next world's Heart, set it in the home portal, step through. The how to win a run guide follows that route from start to finish.

Going back to world 1

The portal is not only for pushing forward. In the group session above, players who needed to get back to the starting island returned to world 1 by stepping into the portal again.

The Heart Setter badge

Setting a Heart is a milestone the game itself tracks: the "Heart Setter" badge is described as "Set a Heart in the home portal". Third-party badge trackers put it at roughly 24% of players — about 11K awards as of their snapshot — so plenty of players have already made their first trip through the portal.
