Divine Gates become accessible after obtaining the Fulcrum Mark from the Wheat Field Wac-A-Mole side quest. They are optional high-difficulty dungeons scattered across the world. The game does not mark them on the map — you must discover them through exploration. Return to clear Divine Gates after acquiring core weapons and sufficient healing items. They contain rare weapons and gems not available anywhere else.
Several areas contain hidden reward orbs that require cliff jumping or returning from a different angle to reach. Since there is no collectible tracker in-game, mark these locations on your mental map and backtrack to collect them when you have the necessary movement abilities.
The quest at Stone Call Inn is not implemented in the current Early Access version. Do not waste time trying to trigger it. This content is expected in a future update. Check the official Radical Fish Games roadmap for release timing.
