Gate of Finis is a location in The Sundering Sea. Originally labeled "???", this island contains several rare chests and what appears to be an empty wall.
After three certain quests have been completed, the Gate of Finis becomes available, and the blank wall transforms into the gate. Entering the area beyond the gate's doors allows the player to fight Galdera in Octopath Traveler II.
The Gate of Finis only becomes unlocked after completing a chain of side quests:
Upon completing the side quests above, the side quest A Gate Between Worlds will become available, enabling the player to enter the gate and battle Galdera.
After Galdera's defeat, the Gate of Finis is permanently sealed shut, returning to a blank wall.

Trivia[]
- When entering the area, the location name after "Gate of" is displayed in the font used throughout the series to mimic Orsterran text. This script is also visible in the artbooks, as well as on the newspapers seen at the end of Partitio's Chapters 2 and 3 and on the screen seen when beginning and ending a Traveler Story in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.
- 100 years ago, the poet Kaie wrote of this gate, "On an island lost in sea split twain, lies a portal to an alien place. Beware! Be warned! Ye fools who'd approach, for none should draw near, this gate encroach."
- The layout beyond the gate's doors mirrors that of the original Gate of Finis in Octopath Traveler, with the exception that this gateway to Journey's End is automatically open and not tied to a separately loaded area.
- The island's chests contain three Herb-of-Grace buds and a skystone, both of which are references to items in the original Octopath Traveler. Herb-of-grace is the remedy used by H'aanit to ward off Redeye's petrification, while skystones are the minerals that Tressa bought and sold in her second chapter.
- During the Journey for the Dawn, the Gate of Finis reverts back to its "???" form. Its gate is replaced by an impassable wall, preventing the player from confronting Galdera until the Journey for the Dawn is completed.
