Kingdom Hearts 3 Battlegates are special combat challenges players can complete. Fourteen spike-covered blue orbs float scattered throughout the game's worlds, appearing only after a player has finished the game, saved and returned.
Accepting a challenge from a Battlegate will place the player in combat with a bunch of enemies. The number and type of enemies changes based on each Battlegate's difficulty rating. Rewards change as well, but often include specific Synthesis Materials and Secret Reports. Here's where to find all of the Kingdom Hearts 3 Battlegates.
I really really loved my time with kingdom hearts 3 I really wish there was a bigger challenge than battlegate 14. Once you get ultima it's a breeze even on proud and I just hit 99 and checked it out again and I literally didn't even heal 1 time.
