Kingdom Hearts 3 Battlegate Locations: all battlegates battle portals for unlocking secret reports
Once you finish the main story of Kingdom Hearts III, your journey with Sora and company isn't really over unless you want it to be. There's lots of extra content to explore - including Battlegates, the KH3 equivilant of high-end end-game raid content.
Each battlegate basically puts you up against a range of enemies from that area of the game in an encounter designed to really test your skills to the absolute maximum. Battlegates are rated between 1 and 3 stars, and some of the 3 star ones are by far and away some of the most challenging fights in Kingdom Hearts III.
In order to survive these fights, you'll want to grind out the rest of KH3 to have the best gear and chance possible. You'll want to get all keyblades and craft Ultima Weapon, improve your keyblades using synthesis materials, complete the Photo Missions to unlock more accessory blueprints to create and equip and finally make sure you use KH3's cooking system to buff your party.
Once you've done all that, get ready to challenge these powerful fights - in the process unlocking even more powerful equipment and the intriguing plot-thickening secret reports as rewards.
