Quick Guide to Golden Gate
This guide provides a simplified overview of the Golden Gate system and its progression.
What Are Golden Gates?
Golden Gates are repeatable endgame boss encounters. Opening a Golden Gate consumes 1 Gold Crystal, summoning a powerful boss. Defeating the boss rewards:
- Rank S (Legendary) weapons
- EX-MODs
Golden Gate enemies are designed for endgame players. The weakest enemies start at Level 60 and can scale with the player’s level, so proper preparation is recommended.
How to Obtain Gold Crystals
Gold Crystals can be obtained by:
- Opening chests on Floor 2
- Defeating enemies (random drop chance)

Important Notes
Golden Gate vs. Crafted Legendary Weapons
Golden Gate Legendary weapons are different from crafted Legendary weapons. They have their own item pool and are the only source of the highest possible EX-MOD values.
Maximum EX-MOD Values
Golden Gates are the only way to obtain weapons with the maximum possible EX-MOD values. When an EX-MOD reaches its maximum value, its text is displayed in blue/violet, making it easy to identify.
