Im on the the British Museum part. The quest says there is a hell gate here, but I cant find one. Ive cleared out the whole place 4 times now. Droped the quest, restarted the game and everything. Is there somthing inside the place I need to click on or a secret room or somthing? Please help me out, Ive cleared this place out so many times.. what am I missing? Wheres the hell gate?

I don't remember a Hell Gate in the museum. I do remember a Hellrift you had to go in and talk to an NPC. After you talk to the NPC, you must leave asap, it begins a timer to get out. Once you leave through the Portal back to the Museum, you have to Survive! It's a rough one at this point. Hope that helps.
It is in one of the rooms. There are several tho, to one of the cardinal directions a series of rooms tends to split off, like to the north you will go into a room and it will have a room to its east, west, and north, and from that north room it will split east, west, and north, and then again to the north it will go east and west. Be sure to walk all the way to the east and west. I once thought I had cleared the entire thing but did not find the gateway until I walked back across a lot of it and the gate did not seem to appear until I was close to it. It was hard to see (Or, could not be seen) from a distance even tho the rooms looked pretty cleaned out.
The Hellrifts are placed randomly in the dungeons. Look for the minimap symbol, sometimes my videocard, 8800 GTX, does not display the Hellrifts at all, so you have to trust the minimap.
Also what happens when you go through the Hellrift, is that you are faced with a bunch of mobs and a named miniboss that you have to kill. Then you have to use Fawke's device on an object in the Hellrift. After this, a boss with adds spawns inside the museum. After you've defeated this boss you talk to a Sage who reveals something about the plot along with a cut scene.
Yeah, like Melanoma said, it is just a rift (One of the red portals) you go through. Assuming that is the one you mean. Or if you have already done that segment, and then the "Survive" segment (Spoiler free for now) another portal does appear at the position of the "Survive" segment being completed, at the very location it was completed (Even if you did a bit of running around in the museum during, or died and had to come back to finish) and THAT portal I have notied be buggy for others, It is there but not visible to them, but walking over the spot does portal them. I imagine it is possible that the rift could be having the same graphical mislocation. If it is not appearing, try walking to the end of each of the hallways in the musem, in the center at the end I think is a stone block next to the statues. Try walking up to them and see if the rift is just not appearing for you for some reason.
I have cleared the place 5 times now .. Ive destroyed ever sing crate/vase in the place and walked over it many times. There is no NPC here to talk to. I have really walked over allmost every inch of the museum thinking that maybe i needed all the monsters to spawn (some of them would only spawn as I walked close to their spawn location) There is no rift or gate or whatever it is in this place. Should I try just leveling up another character?
I too have an 8800 GTX .. i will try looking for it only on the minimap.. though I have been looking at the mini map most of the time looking for anything i may have missed
The ploblem is when I first get to the museum. I kill all the monsters there and break all the stuff.. map the whole place out and then thats the end. No portal.
Sunder is absolutely correct. Just be prepared for an all out war once you return to the Museum.
sometimes the graphicsa glitch and the gates go invisibale it's at the back of a long storage room trey and wander inot it by trial and error. or maybe retasrt game.
The NPC won't come into play until after you breech and clear the hellrift, and the survive segment after. Best suggestion I can give is to go to each of those cardinal directions and clean out the rooms as stated above, and then walk straight on into the big marble block at the edge of each hallway if the portal is not showing. The rift is located a few feet out from the stone block, so coming from side to side may not enter it. Should come straight on. Try that out, and if it does not work let me know, I will bring on one of my characters and go clean it out fast for you and point out where the rift is since I will be able to see it.
Ok i cleared the place out again. I walked back and forth all around the ends of all the hallways and even back and for up to the marble stones all the time checking my minimap. Im going to try turning off DX10 and running through again.
I dont know if truning off DX10 had anything to do with it or if it was just time #7 made the portal spawn. But its there now .. It shows up on my minimap and i see it just fine. If it had been there and just not been visible before I would have gone through it. It just did not spawn untill my 7th try (or untill I turned off DX10)
Thanks for everyones help.
Gratz! I'm glad it was not one of those bugged quests that stop the game as some have reported.
8800GTX does show the hellrifts as i see them np and thats the card i using
I've had the same bug on DX9 with the 314's mind portal. It was there, I could run into it, but I just couldn't see it. It hadn't been drawn.
