Kingdom Hearts 3 | All Battlegate Locations

After finishing the Kingdom Hearts 3 story campaign, gamers have the opportunity to take on 14 unique Battlegate challenges. Each of these 14 Battlegates are situated in a different location within the Kingdom Hearts 3 universe, and offer different rewards upon completion. Among these rewards are new pieces of story content called Secret Reports, along with special items and selfie poses for Sora.

While the first few Battlegates can be easy to find, tracking all of them down in order can be a bit time consuming. Additionally, Battlegates have varying levels of difficulty ranging from 1 to 3 stars. While the 1-star Battlegates are easy, the 2 and 3-star Battlegates present a real challenge. Struggling to find one or more Battlegates in Kingdom Hearts 3? We’ve got you covered!

Below, we’ve put together a complete guide featuring all Battlegate locations in Kingdom Hearts 3.

Where to Find All 14 Battlegates in Kingdom Hearts 3

Your first introduction with Battlegates in Kingdom Hearts 3 comes prior to the end of the story campaign as you navigate through the Skein of Severance. Note that these introductory Battlegates are different from the ones we list below in that they don’t reward Secret Reports, and they aren’t hidden in previous Kingdom Hearts 3 worlds.

To unlock Secret Reports, you’ll need to return to Kingdom Hearts 3 after completing the story and take on the Battlegates in locations like Olympus and San Fransokyo. With that out of the way, we’ve listed where to find all 14 Battlegates in Kingdom Hearts 3 down below!

There, you’ll see your ship. You can reach the save point by boarding your ship and sailing right, or by using your fly ability to skim over the water.

Regardless of which method you choose, you’ll want to go right while hugging the island until you locate a cave with a tall, vertical opening. If you’re on your ship, you’ll need to jump into the water and swim inside. There, you’ll find a little sandy beach as well as the tenth Battlegate. Interact with the tenth Battlegate, then confirm to begin your next fight.

This Battlegate is ranked at a 1-star difficulty. Upon successful completion of the tenth Battlegate, you’ll earn a Water Cufflink as well as Secret Report #10.

Battlegate #11 - San Fransokyo, North District (Day)

To find the eleventh Battlegate in Kingdom Hearts 3, you’ll need to spawn into the San Fransokyo world at the North District (Day) save point. From the North District, scale a nearby building until you’re able to leap down onto the train rails that run through this area. Jump on the rails heading to the west, and you’ll be able to quickly slide over to the world’s border which naturally stops you.

Here, you’ll find the eleventh Battlegate. Interact with the eleventh Battlegate, then confirm to begin your next fight. This Battlegate is ranked at a 2-star difficulty. Upon successful completion of the eleventh Battlegate, you’ll Secret Report #11 as well as a Ying-Yang Cufflink.

Battlegate #12 - San Fransokyo, North District (Day)

To find the twelfth Battlegate in Kingdom Hearts 3, you’ll need to return to the North District (Day) spawn, then scale up the building to the left of the save point with the three circular landings on top. 

At the very top landing, you’ll find the twelfth Battlegate. Interact with the twelfth Battlegate, then confirm to begin your next fight. This Battlegate is ranked at a 1-star difficulty.

Battlegate #13 - The Keyblade Graveyard, Badlands

To find the thirteenth Battlegate in Kingdom Hearts 3, you’ll need to spawn into the Keyblade Graveyard world at the Badlands save point. From there, turn around and head out into the large, open area. In the center of this area, you’ll spot the thirteenth Battlegate.

Interact with the thirteenth Battlegate, then confirm to begin your next fight. This Battlegate is ranked at a 2-star difficulty. Upon successful completion of the twelfth Battlegate, you’ll earn Secret Report #13 along with a Celestriad.

Battlegate #14 - The Keyblade Graveyard, Badlands

The fourteenth and final Battlegate can be found in the same area as the thirteenth Battlegate, the Badlands area of the Keyblade Graveyard. To reach it, head back towards the save point, then go past it and out into the next large, open area. There, you’ll spot the fourteenth Battlegate. Interact with the fourteenth Battlegate, then confirm to begin your last fight.

This Battlegate is ranked at a 3-star difficulty, and will be the hardest one to complete. Because of this, you’ll want to come prepared, especially seeing as how Donald and Goofy aren’t able to help you in this fight. When we took on this Battlegate challenge, we were level 65. This should be sufficient if you’re playing on Standard or Proud Mode, though being a higher level never hurts.

We also made sure to equip our best keyblades and equipment before entering the fight. Items you’ll want to focus on include ones that boost Strength and Defense stats, especially Defense as the new Dark Inferno boss is extremely hard to dodge and deals an insane amount of damage. It may take you a few tries, but once you complete the fourteenth Battlegate, you’ll unlock the “Know Thine Enemy” achievement as well as a new selfie pose and the Crystal Regalia item.

The inclusion of Battlegates is a fun way to expand the story of Kingdom Hearts 3 through Secret Reports, while offering solid endgame content for completionists.
