Hytale: How to make Ancient Gateway
The Ancient Gateway is how you travel to special worlds outside the main map in Hytale. These worlds have new biomes, enemies, and loot, but you can only stay there for a short time.
To make the Ancient Gateway, you need to explore a lot first and unlock the right crafting setup.
What is the Ancient Gateway in Hytale?
The Ancient Gateway is a portal device that lets you enter separate realms. These realms are not permanent zones.
Each visit is timed, and you need a special item called a Fragment every time you want to travel. Once the timer ends, you are sent back to the main world automatically.
How to unlock the Ancient Gateway recipe in Hytale
Before you can craft the Ancient Gateway, you must collect 100 Memories. Memories are unlocked by discovering different creatures across the world. To record them, go to the Forgotten Temple and enter the Kweebec Hub.
Inside, interact with the altar to log the creatures you have encountered. You will need to explore multiple biomes to reach 100 unique entries. When you hit 100 Memories, the game unlocks the Ancient Gateway recipe along with the Arcanist’s Workbench.
How to craft the Arcanist’s Workbench in Hytale
The Arcanist’s Workbench is required to craft the Ancient Gateway and travel items. It becomes available after upgrading a normal Workbench to Level 2.
To craft the Arcanist’s Workbench, you need Thorium Ingots x10, Essence of the Void x20, and Linen Scraps x30. Once placed, this workbench opens access to higher level crafting recipes.
Materials needed for the Ancient Gateway
After unlocking the recipe, head to the Arcanist’s Workbench and gather the required materials. You will need Essence of the Void x10, Cobblestone x30, Essence of Life x10, and Thorium Ingots x10.
Craft the Ancient Gateway and place it at your base so you can easily return to it whenever you have a Fragment ready.
How Fragments work in Hytale
Fragments are consumable items used to activate the Ancient Gateway. Each Fragment is tied to a specific realm, and it disappears after one use.
Fragments are also crafted at the Arcanist’s Workbench, so you will need to restock them if you plan to revisit a realm.
Available realms and Fragment costs
- Windrider Valley requires Thorium Ingots x10 and Essence of Life x30.
- Dragonspire Weald requires Cobalt Ingots x10 and Essence of Ice x30.
- The Dread Wade requires Adamantite Ingots x10 and Essence of Fire x30.
How to use the Ancient Gateway in Hytale
To travel, place the Ancient Gateway, hold the Fragment in your hand, and interact with the Gateway. A prompt will appear allowing you to enter the realm.
Each realm visit is limited by a timer, usually just a few minutes. You can leave early by returning to the portal entrance, or you will be sent back automatically when time runs out.
