Square Enix's "Final Fantasy XVI" is a beautifully crafted single-player experience that takes players on a journey as Clive Rosfield in the world of Valisthea.
The game features a ton of enemies, bosses, and challenges that will test players' abilities and skills on the fly. After the release of The Rising Tide expansion, Square Enix added a lot more content for players to experience, including Kairos Gate.
This guide talks about everything you need to know about Kairos Gate, including what it is and how you can complete it yourself. If you are struggling to finish this challenge yourself, take a look at some of the recommendations in this article to see what can help you.
What is Kairos Gate
"Final Fantasy XVI's" Kairos Gate is a new mode where players will face off against some of the most difficult battles from the main story back-to-back. You will be able to unlock new equipment after each fight, but you are required to defeat enemies within a certain time, according to Screen Rant.
Kairos Gate features 20 different battles that are indicated by a numbered circle in the menu. All of these fights must be completed in one run, including the waves of different enemy types and four boss battles.
How To Unlock Kairos Gate
If you want to challenge yourself, you can unlock Kairos Gate by progressing enough in the base "Final Fantasy XVI" game to the point where you can play The Rising Tide DLC. After completing the main story, you get an invitation to unlock this challenge mode.
You then need to go to the Hideaway and interact with The Arete Stone to trigger a cutscene that features Ultima. This would signal the end of the base game's story and will unlock Kairos Gate through The Arete Stone.

Tips To Beat Kairos Gate
When you actually start challenging Kairos Gate, there are some recommendations you should follow to make your runs easier to manage. You should know that you can use any Eikonic Abilities you have already unlocked when taking on this challenge, The Gamer said.
However, you are not allowed to change your equipment when you actually start Kairos Gate and have to stick with what you have. It is recommended that you buy Enhancements and Boons to increase your overall power.
The best Boons you can use in Kairos Gate are Timely Strikes, Timely Evasion, Timely Focus, and Timely Assistance. They all provide the same effects as Timely Accessories and cost zero BP.
Rewards for Beating Kairos
The first time you complete Kairos Gate, you will be rewarded with eight Creator accessories. You can use these to buff Ultima's Eikonic Abilities and Radiant versions of "Final Fantasy XVI's" Eikonic blades.
You will also get four pieces of Eludium, which you can use to craft the Eludium Belt and Wristlets. These are arguably the best pieces of armor that can be acquired in the game. If you are playing Final Fantasy mode, you will also get Opportunity.
The latter is a very rare crafting component that can be used to craft a powerful sword called Original Sin. On top of all the items you get, you will also receive Rhema for every Circle, which you can sell for 2,500 each, according to Game Rant.
