World map

Area unlocks

Every blocked way on the kingdom maps of Verdantglade, Cinder Ridge, Aqualis, Loong Haven, Aethyris, Harpadia and Ignis: the vines, boulders, coral, sealed pillars and cloud bridges that take an item, and the gates that ask for a level, a rank, Power or an Affinity. Each kingdom below has its map with the blockers numbered, and the table says what opens each one and where you are standing when you meet it. The Maps page is the zone-by-zone view of the same kingdoms, with the statues; this page is the blocker-by-blocker list, with the gates that ask for a level, a rank, Power or an Affinity.

167blocked ways across 7 kingdoms

100of them take an item: always one, used up when you open the way

10different items, each sold by a kingdom shop for 3,000 of that kingdom’s currency

The items

Each blocker that takes an item takes exactly one. The kingdom shops sell them for 3,000 of that kingdom’s own currency; selling one back returns the same 3,000. The Gateway Key is the only one every kingdom shop stocks, because Sealing Pillars stand in every kingdom. Buy the others in the kingdom they belong to before you go looking for a blockade elsewhere: Harpadia has Boulder and Coral Blockades but sells neither the Magic Drill nor the Water Mine.

North is up and the cell numbers match the ones the game shows under the minimap. The thin lines are the borders between areas. “Opens” is the area the blocker stands in, and “from” the area you usually reach it from. Level, rank, Power and Affinity gates read their number from the area’s own level, so the figure here is the one the game’s table gives for that level; the gate itself shows the live value.

Aeperis is not here yet: its map pack is not in the build we read, and its blockers have no English names in the game yet.

How this is worked out

Every object on a kingdom map has a cell, and the blockers are objects like any other: the map packs place them, and the game’s object settings say which item each one costs (one of it) or which condition it checks. The item names, counts, shop prices and currencies are the game’s own; so are the area names, and the main areas Ignis has not named yet are numbered in order as on the Gathering map.

Two things are our reading rather than something the game states. Which area a blocker “opens” is taken from the cells it stands on and the area next to it, so a blocker on a border may be listed under either side. The number on a level, rank, Power or Affinity gate comes from the game’s level table at the area’s level, the same lookup the gate makes; a few gates in the later kingdoms have no entry for their level, and those say “shown on the gate”. Story-only copies of a blockade (the ones the story clears for you) are left out, and so are the bridge pieces a switch raises. Sources are the ones named in the shop, Battle Pass and event tables; the rest of the game’s reward lists are not searched item by item, so a key that drops somewhere else is not listed here.
