A portal assembling a Jelleton

Portals are a type of Jelleton appearing on the Spire of Order's Floors in Side Order. They do not attack the player directly, instead spawning other Jelletons.

Defeating a set number of portals within a given Floor is one of the possible objectives during a Spire run.

Description

Portals are inky orbs each encased within a larger semi-translucent orb perched upon thin, stacked Jelleton pieces. Various disassembled Jelleton pieces "swim" suspended within the translucent part. They seem to be made of the same black/grey ink used by Jelletons.

Other portals, which cannot be harmed, resemble Gushers.

Strategy

  • As a portal is attacked, it rises further up above while being covered in the player's ink. When defeated, a portal explodes with a very large radius similar to a Booyah Bomb in the player's ink, harming nearby Jelletons. Collecting three Disc Pieces to enable Pearl's Step-Off Song temporarily disables portals, stopping them from spawning Jelletons.
  • Portals come in both small and large varieties, with larger ones having more health. Portals usually regenerate their health when not under attack, but their regeneration can be stopped if their bases are inked.
  • There is another kind of portals resembling active gushers that are indestructible. These objects appear on Floors with objectives other than destroying Portals. They cannot be destroyed, but the Step-Off Song can still disable them.
  • They cannot be destroyed via only damage near their base. The final hit must be done by the player in order to destroy them.

They'll regenerate any amount of
damage if you let them. So once
you start attacking, don't let up
until the job is done.

Actually, my research shows they
won't regenerate if you ink the
ground at their base. If you have
Poison Ink, you can even damage
them further that way.

It's the best feeling to watch 'em
go BOOM! Get splatted, all you
fishy freaks!
Conclusion
At least ink the base!
