Karma Gate

Karma gates are massive doors that separate the regions of Rain World and restrict where the slugcat can explore. Passing through these gateways is the only way to travel between regions without a Passage.

Function
A karma gate consists of two chambers, each separated by an elaborate metal shutter. At every karma gate, karma level symbols are shown on the walls above each entrance. As you enter into a chamber, if you have a karma level greater or equal to that of the symbol on the wall, then the gate will open. Otherwise your current karma symbol will flash red and nothing will happen. The opening of the elaborate lock takes several seconds after the symbol disappears, and can be cancelled if the chamber is exited quickly enough. A particular karma gate can only be used once per cycle.

Tips and Trivia

 * The slugcat technically enters the new region as soon as the first metal shutter has been closed. The mind map will show the new region throughout the opening process, allowing the player a brief window to find their bearings.
 * When playing as the Monk, the conditions of a karma gate only need to be met once in order to make it available for the rest of the game.
