FF7 Remake The Gate Won’t Open Discovery Solution

by

Side quests in Final Fantasy 7 Remake vary in complexity, but ‘The Gate Won’t Open’ – a Discovery quest from Chapter 8, ‘Budding Bodyguard’ – is surprisingly straightforward. Many players have found themselves stuck because they assumed it was more complicated than it actually is. Here’s a guide to finishing ‘The Gate Won’t Open’ in FF7 Remake.

How to Complete The Gate Won’t Open Discovery in Final Fantasy 7 Remake

You’ll find this Discovery while following the story during the ‘Through the Backstreets’ section. When you reach the purple marker on your map, Aerith will attempt to open the gate, but it won’t work. She’ll then suggest a different way forward: moving a large green crate that’s to the left of the gate.

You don’t need to explore much to finish this Discovery – just follow the main path in a circle until you can open the gate on the other side. There are some side paths with small rewards, but they aren’t necessary to complete it.

Your map shows a circular path that leads to the other side of the locked gate. You’ll encounter a few weak enemies along the way, and will need to do some walking and climbing. The route ends when you face a Smogger – a robot that’s especially vulnerable to lightning. Use spells like Thunder to defeat them easily.

After defeating the enemy, find the ladder in the arena corner closest to the Discovery objective on your map. Use it to reach the other side and unlock the gate, then continue with the main story.
