Gates act as entry points into the Clockworks. Although certain Boss levels are consistent within the gate they are assigned to, gates vary in their strata themes, levels per depth, and level rotation time, so that taking the same path through a single gate is not always likely. The gates themselves rotate like the rest of the Clockworks and are shifted along every two days (as there are four active gate slots, each gate remains accessible for eight days).

  • release 2011-03-17: Arcade columns improved to show stratum. Wegner and Feron have been stationed here. Wegner has replaced the Arcade Assistant.
  • release 2011-04-19: Wegner's dialogue has been improved.
  • release 2011-08-02: The Coliseum was released. Sullivan and the Krogmo Alcemy Machine can now be found in the Arcade.
  • release 2011-11-07: Gates in the arcade will now automatically activate when you walk up to them.
