The Challenge Gate can be summoned in the Inscription Book when you put in Dark Magic Stone, Water Magic Stone, Wind Magic Stone, Thunder Magic Stone, Fire Magic Stone, Light Magic Stone, and Earth Magic Stone. You have the chance to produce one of the three different Challenge Gates once the summoning is done. Each of the three Challenge Gate has its own color, size, and summoning rate. The numbers of players and tames allowed to be teleported through these Challenge Gates also vary.

Once the Challenge Gate is summoned, the dungeon challenge is not activated yet. Players will need to obtain Energy Stone, craftable in the Alchemy Stove, and place them on the Challenge Gate to initiate the portal to the Ancient Wyvern King. If you want to challenge the Ancient Wyvern King for another time, you will have to place Energy Stone to create the portal again.

Out of the three Ancient Gate, only one can be activated via the Teleportation Platform at a time. A cooldown of 24 hours will be attached to players who have taken on an Ancient Wyvern King challenge.

New Subspecies
Puffer (Deep Ocean)
Poor disadvantaged Puffers have always been prey, constantly falling to the fate of being hunted down, despite being armed with spiky fins. However, the Deep Ocean Puffer subspecies that feed on poisonous food have managed to escape this doom! Their diet makes them far more toxic than their regular counterparts, naturally intimidating and deterring would-be predators. Explorers have discovered that this tamed Puffer subspecies has the ability to turn Carrion into a special sleeping potion!
 
Angler (Deep Ocean)
Living within the deepest depths of the ocean, the Angler uses its light gland to allure smaller fish, biding its time in an attempt to grasp their prey off-guard. As swift as Angler may be, smaller fish, usually vigilant about their surroundings, are not always an easy catch. This chase-and-flee dynamic between predator and prey has helped some smarter Anglers to evolve the ability to emit the energy conserved inside their light gland as static electricity, allowing them to paralyze their prey for a short period of time.
 
Megalodon (Deep Ocean)
Megalodon are the notorious top predator in the deep ocean, hunting down every creature they can land their sharp teeth on. Always ready to fight, Megalodon will continue to challenge any creature that dare cross its path, despite any accumulated injuries. Some extremely ferocious Megalodon have mutated and mastered the ability to go into a fury state, allowing its attack to get stronger the more damage it has taken.
 
Holiday Dodo (Event only)
Holiday Dodo is dressed up and ready to enjoy a wonderful summertime in the Grassland!
