Did you complete Anya's quest?

In act 5 Anya opens a red portal and you go in and there is an area where there are tons of already dead mobs.
You get like 5 secs to summon all your skeles then they start to come to life, and you have to kill them, then the boss that is inside the building then you go into a hall. All leading to kill the guy that froze Anya.

I have been putting it off, because on normal I completed the quest and the red portal poofed. Thus cutting off the easiest, fastest ways to pop in somewhere get all your skeles up and go kill everything alot ease. Well it's a lot easier than running around with merc and golem trying to find a grp while on your way to where ever and fighting and summoning... I guess that's pretty easy too, just slower.

I am wondering on hell if you do that quest if the red portal will stay up in act 5.

No. Portal closes once quest is done. Its a bit of a double edged sword that quest. "the guy that froze Anya" drops one of the keys you need to finish the keyset, so if your gonna go uber hunting you will need to kill him (or buy your keys).

Personally I havent done the quest in hell as its the 1st port of call for my MF fishy, pindle (the unique monster through the portal) also drops some good gear. The reward for completing the quest isn't great so I see no point in completing it as I can run for keys with another char.

That's what I was afraid of, I'll probably just trade for whatever key it is. My necro follows the fishy build too. Actually I think the reward from that quest is where you get something personalized. I never turn in anything for that anyways.

Portal only closes if you get the waypoint. Otherwise, it stays open.

I think I'd get the waypoint anyway. If I need corpses then the Cold Plains is an easy-enough place to make them.
