Cockblock Gates

Cockblock Gates are large stone gates that prevent the Breeder to access most of the locations in the game.

They can be opened by the Keystones. Every Keystone is guarded by a Blessed Nephelym, and the Breeder has to do some tasks in order to get it from them. There are ten gates in the game. Some of the Gates are sealed not only by the Keystone but by another barrier created by a Blessed, preventing that gate from being opened too early. For instance, the Hivelands gate cannot be opened until Monarch removes the honeycomb from it, nor can the gate covered with thorns be opened until Autumn's quest is completed. Even if you obtain both Mega Slime and Kybele's Keystones and use only one of them to reach Pleasure Pastures, Hivelands and the area leading to Cove of Rapture will remain inaccessible until after both Monarch and Autumn are satisfied.
