Profile
"The Gate of Shadows is an ancient ruin located east of Octam. It's called a gate, but there are no roads there leading anywhere. Some say an ancient treasure is hidden there, but nobody knows for sure. If only the Mist weren't there, I'd go check things out myself."
- Hunter in Vidna
The Shadow Gate was created many years ago, but by who and for what purpose is unknown. However, it is said within the Book of Prophecy that the Gate of Shadows holds the path to Rem's bosom. The Gate of Shadows received its name from the god of the sea, Tohn. It is said that the sound of ocean waves can be heard when pressed against one of the four stone faces in the area.
Story
Obtaining the Star Pearl
The Ra-Seru heroes meet a priestess of Hari named Sashia in the town of Vidna. She tells them of Hari's prophecy telling her to wait for three saviors wearing Ra-Seru and about how to obtain the Star Pearl. The Ra-Seru heroes then travel to the Rem Shrine in Octam, learning about the four keys in the Gate of Shadows and reading all four volumes of the Book of Prophecy.
Reading the Book of Prophecy in its entirety reveals a hidden passage underneath one of the pedestals in the Rem Shrine. They investigate and find an elevator underground, as well as a shifty-looking female thief, named Cara. She tells them the elevator is locked due to a safety precaution and that all the citizens of Octam are living underground. Before taking off, she lets them know that she pawned the Star Pearl off on Zalan, the jeweler in Jeremi,. The Ra-Seru heroes return to Jeremi and obtain the Star Pearl from Zalan before journeying to the Gate of Shadows.
Ancient Path Revealed
As the heroes enter the Gate of Shadows, they are stopped by a male ninja who comes out of a ball of smoke on top of the Stone Flower. He expresses how pitiful Zeto must have been to get beat by kids and before long challenges Vahn to a one-on-one battle. However, he is stopped by another male ninja and a female ninja who come to notify him of other matters. Gala asks who they are and they respond by posing and shouting their names: Gi Delilas, Lu Delilas and Che Delilas. The Delilas Family leaves in a cloud of smoke, prompting Noa to imitate Lu Delilas's special pose.
The Ra-Seru heroes solve the riddle of the Shadow Gate by pressing the correct element keys on the stone statues. Once they input the appropriate keys, the Stone Flower blossoms to reveal a pool of liquid in the center. Vahn throws the Star Pearl inside the pool of liquid and it expands to be large enough to walk through. As they walk through the expanded liquid, it sucks them into the Stone Flower and teleports them to an underground pathway which leads to Octam (Underground).

Trivia
- The Shadow Gate is called the Torn Gate in the Japanese translation. Torn is referred to as "Tohn" in the Official Guide to Sightseeing in Sebucus, and it is said that the Shadow Gate is named after him. The connection is not clear in the English version due to the name change in the localization.
- Inputting the element keys incorrectly will prompt a monster to come out from the last key pressed and attack the party.
