Story

Konpa Gate opens when the keeper recognizes a Gate Card in a visitor's possession.

The gate is used to control access to the Konpa Ruins; only those Adepts who have acquired a Gate Card by completing the Psynergy Training Grounds are allowed to pass. The gatekeeper lives in a small house next to the gate, and can be signaled via a small bell near the gate. However, the gatekeeper is often asleep, and is usually startled awake by the bell. When Matthew's party first enters the area, they see an Adept ring the gatekeeper's bell. After the gatekeeper confirms that the Adept has the Gate Card, the gatekeeper raises the gate temporarily, to allow the Adept to pass through. Matthew's party follows the same process, allowing them to continue to the Konpa Ruins.
