Overview
Forbidden Gate is a main quest in Chapter 12: The Abyss of Crimson Desert. It marks the transition between The Final Battle arc and The Void arc. Kliff and his remaining allies breach a sealed gateway that leads into the deepest layer of the Abyss. This gate has been sealed for centuries, and opening it unleashes the darkness that has been building throughout the story. The quest involves both puzzle-solving using Axiom Force and intense combat encounters.

Navigate through the Abyss corridors leading to the Forbidden Gate
Solve the Axiom Force puzzle to unseal the gate mechanism
Defend against the wave of enemies that emerge when the gate opens
Pass through the Forbidden Gate into the Void
Walkthrough
The approach to the Forbidden Gate is linear but filled with environmental hazards. Use Axiom Force to manipulate the gate's locking mechanisms, similar to other Abyss puzzles encountered earlier in the game. Once the gate begins to open, a wave of Abyss-corrupted enemies will pour through. Hold your ground and defeat them before passing through into the unknown darkness of the Void. The Abyss Nexus nearby can be used as a fast travel point before entering, so consider saving and preparing here.
Tips
This is the last safe point before the Void sequence. Make sure you have stocked up on all necessary supplies.
The Axiom Force puzzle at the gate follows the same principles as earlier totem puzzles, but with added complexity.
Enemies that emerge from the gate hit very hard. Use crowd-control abilities to manage them.
