Subterranean Gate

Media:Subterranean Gate.webp Subterranean Gate as seen on the adventure map.

Subterranean Gate is an adventure map location, that enables heroes to move between the surface and the underground layers. At the beginning of the map the gates will be paired, and they will lead to the other layer's gate nearest to the corresponding point. If two gates are at equal distance from the corresponding point, the northmost gate will be paired, and if they are at the same "latitude", the westmost gate will be paired.

If a gate cannot be paired, because there are more gates on one layer than on the other, or the map has only one layer, a hero visiting it will see the message "Just inside the entrance you find a large pile of rubble blocking the tunnel. You leave discouraged."

Unlike most other structures, Subterranean Gates cannot be located on water.

In Armageddon's Blade or The Shadow of Death, press the space bar to move between the surface and the underground without spending any movement points. This also works with other adventure map objects with repeatable actions.
