Nihlathak question

I accidentally tagged the waypoint in the Halls of Pain. Does that mean if I ever kill Nihlathak, the red portal disappears and I can never kill him or Pindleskin again? Or is there some way around this to keep it open?|||Yes, the red portal will disappear then, but you can still access Nihlathak or Pindleskin through the waypoint. Pindle isn't worth it that way, however, it takes too long.

The only way to prevent the closing of the red portal is not to do both (i.e. waypoint + killing Nihlathak).|||or use another char to create the game with the portal, then switch to your other to kill pindle|||let the portal go and farm nili for Dkeys. Pays off more in the long run
