Gateway of the Ancients

Par time | None

**Gateway of the Ancients** is the main hub of Amid Evil. This is where you select difficulty and access every episode.

## Areas

### Spawnpoint

After introduction scene the player appears on a round platform with stairs going down to the long hall that leads to difficulty selection room.

### Difficulty selection room

This is a big round area with three paths leading to each difficulty option: easy in front, medium to the left with a pit, and hard to the right with a section of levitating blocks which the player should go through in order to enter the portal that will teleport them to the first area.

### Long pool hall

It's a long hall with a pool in the middle, two rooms with portals in them, one of which is closed, and a giant entrance to the main area which is closed too until the player completes first two episodes of the main campaign in order.

### Main area

Main area consists of three floors: top floor, middle floor with an obelisk at the center of it and rooms with portals to The Sacred Path and Arcane Expanse episodes, and bottom floor.

### Top floor

Top floor has an empty area with a message on the wall and a walkway that leads to Solar Solstice and The Forges episodes.

### Bottom floor

Bottom floor isn't as big and doesn't have any messages on it. After completing the sixth episode it breaks and turns into portal to The Void episode.
