"The dragonstones are the keys to unlocking the Gate of Finis. A gate that, if opened, can change this very world. Or so the legends say." —Heathcote


The Gate of Finis is a portal between the living world and the afterlife said to be crafted by Orsa's consort. Beyond the gate lies Galdera, the Fallen God.

The following section contains potential story spoilers!

The Gate of Finis is the end-game location of Octopath Traveler. It is located in the Highlands where Hornburg once stood.

The Gate of Finis is only accessible via the Ruins of Hornburg, which is only accessible as a fast-travel location activated for the side story At Journey's End.

In order to begin this side story, the following conditions must be met:

Players cannot leave the Gate of Finis once they go in, so they must be fully prepared before entering. There also are no save points inside, although interacting with the statue of the twin flags in the center of the ruins allows players to change their party and rearrange equipment.

Story[]

Approximately 1,600 years before the events of Octopath Traveler, the gods sealed away the Dark God Galdera beyond the Gate of Finis. From within, even with his physical body lost, Galdera created Lyblac to plot his own resurrection. He waited for the Gate to be opened, at which point he sent her to the world of the living. This opportunity came when Salomon opened the portal, allowing Lyblac to descend.

The Gate would eventually be closed and sealed by Odin Crossford through the Dragonstones. Eventually, however, Lyblac managed to gather and use said dragonstones to unseal it once again. Using Kit Crossford as Galdera's vessel, she rejoined her father, leading the eight travelers to battle and reseal Galdera in an epic battle for the fate of Orsterra.

Bosses[]

Eight bosses must be defeated before proceeding to the final battle against Galdera at Journey's End. Each boss will leave behind a journal that can be read once defeated.

Trivia[]

  • The eight shadow bosses are arranged in the order of the OCTOPATH acronym, with each boss appearing relative to its protagonist's corresponding letter.
  • Early concept art depicts a "Gate to Hades" that would later inspire the Gate of Finis, featuring an indistinct protagonist wielding a torch with a blue flame.[1]
  • At the end of his Chapter 4, Cyrus notes that "a traditional fairy tale from a certain region mentioned a gate of sorts," implying that the Gate of Finis has become a subject of Orsterran folklore.
  • According to Heathcote, the Gate of Finis is "a gate that, if opened, can change this very world. Or so the legends say."
  • Archbishop Josef refers to death as "passing through those solemn gates," suggesting that the Order of the Sacred Flame recognizes the connection between the afterlife and the Gate of Finis even if speaking in metaphorical terms.
