# As of Hotfix #4, the portal will be bugged and will not work if you have a mod that increases the level cap. A workaround is to reset your party to 1st level by talking to [[Withers]], and then perform the ritual. You can then level up again once you've entered the portal. (Fixed In Most Recent Patch)
