[edit] After the Quest

This information was deleted from the article:

The entrance from the underground passageway can only be used during the quest; after the quest, it is again impossible to reach the upper levels of the palace.

But I'm confused as to how you're supposed to get back into the Imperial Palace after the Ultimate Heist is completed. You can return to the Old Way, but when I've checked, the gate in the Hall of Epochs (the one you originally open using the Arrow of Extrication) has re-closed and therefore it is not possible to get from the Old Way back into the palace. Also, the quest notes state that "You will not be able to get past the Hall of Epochs again after completing the quest." So if there is a way back into the Palace after the quest is completed, it's probably worth spelling out exactly how it's done. --Nephele^Talk 02:37, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Well that's odd, cuz when someone asked about it elsewhere (probably the quest page), I went back and was able to go through all the way without a problem. Maybe it's something from the UOP? I couldn't go through from the palace, I had to go through from the sewers, but had no problems going there and then all the way back out through the palace again. I'll triple-check, and if someone without the UOP (or on XBox/PS3) could check as well, that'd be great. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 18:32, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Seems you're right. I think I only went part-way and didn't realize that the gate to the Imperial Guard Quarters was locked (assuming you have the athletics to make the necessary jump without the Boots of Springheel Jak, that is). At any rate, I'll revert my changes and double-check where else we discussed this and see if changes are necessary there as well. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 19:04, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

The other discussion only pertained to The Old Way, which is where the confusion arose. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 19:52, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
