Gateways To Eternity FAQ

Right-click a Gate Pearl on a solid block to place and activate the gateway. Once placed, the wave encounter begins, so make sure you're geared up and standing where you want to fight before you use it.

Dying ends your run and you lose the rewards from that gateway. The gateway itself doesn't follow you, so you'll need another Gate Pearl to try again.
