Three Mage Gate

The Three Mage Gate in Inner Horutoto Ruins.

The Three Mage Gate is found far into the Inner Horutoto Ruins. The basic way of reaching it is entering the (J-7) tower in East Sarutabaruta and making your way West to the gate at (H-9) on Map 3.

Reaching the Gate

Here's a composite map showcasing the multiple paths available to reach the gate.
The "optimal" way to reach the gate will depend on what method of opening the gate you will go for.

Opening the Gate

There are multiple ways to get past the Three Mages Gate. If this is your first time trying to get past this gate, it will take some time and maybe help from other players, check your options below:

With Another Player's Assistance

• The intended way: Assemble a group with 1 Black Mage, 1 Red Mage, and 1 White Mage to stand on the circles that match their name. This causes the circles on the floor to light up and it is a sight to see!
• Have someone who already possesses the Portal charm obtained in Written in the Stars open it for you.
• Die in front of the gate and have someone who can get to the other side of the gate cast Tractor on you, then Raise you once you accept it and get transported to the other side.
• Having previously unlocked the Home Point or Survival Guide in Toraimarai Canal.

Needless to say, you'd better unlock that Home Point or Survival Guide the first time you get there if you have someone help open the door.

Solo

• Complete Written in the Stars using the 3 Rusty Daggers method. (Check the Mission's page for more info.) This requires you to initially skip this Mission, and come back later after completing the The Final Seal Mission. As a result, your Home Nation Rank will be higher, unlocking this alternative objective.
  • This is the easiest solo way if you're able to purchase the daggers on the Auction House, but requires you to skip the Written in the Stars. If you're not in a rush to obtain the Portal charm, go for this option.
• Complete Written in the Stars after receiving the Rhinostery certificate during the Quest Toraimarai Turmoil. You can go straight to the Toraimarai Canal and use this shortcut, but won't be able to open it from the other side. Past the gate, an ancient teleporter at (E-6, Map 4) can return you to the magical seal.
  • Due to the quest prerequisites, this can be time consuming. But if you're solo and wish to obtain the Portal charm as soon as possible, or if you don't want to skip the Mission, or if you already accepted the Mission by accident... go for this option.
• Having previously unlocked the Home Point or Survival Guide in Toraimarai Canal.
