# Ancient Portals

Ancient Portals are found in the central portal frame in Ancient Cities. The structure has been modified to always include all 4 pedestals in front of the portal frame.

Activating the portal requires lighting the 4 Ancient Pedestal blocks that sit on top of each pedestal structure. Ancient Pedestals require enchanted items with a power level > 10.

Once all 4 Ancient Pedestals are lit, the portal will activate and the items deleted. This portal is a permanent portal to the Alterworld, unlike the Fractured Portals found in temples.
