Each Battlegate has a difficulty rating, and completing them rewards you with specific Synthesis Materials and Secret Reports. Here are all 14 Battlegates locations in KH3.
These Battlegates are blue, spiky orbs that you’ll be able to recognize instantly – they stick out like sore thumbs. Approach them to accept the challenge, which is usually a basic fight featuring multiple enemies. There are 14 Battlegates.
Battlegate #1 – Mount Olympus[edit]

- Tips: This challenging battle starts you against the Bahamut-like mechs without a mech of your own. You are going to want to keep distance between you and them with magic, Links, team moves, and attractions. Use the shelves and other environmental items for cover when necessary. In the second half, focus on one mech, take it out, and then take it over for attacking the others.
Battlegate #6 – Kingdom of Corona[edit]

You are going to want to use huge moves like strong magic spells, team moves, and Links to quickly make short work of the overwhelming number of enemies. Marshmallow will be a huge help with the boss fight at the end.

Battlegate #11 – San Fransokyo[edit]
- Difficulty: 2

- Fast Travel Point: North District
- Rewards: Ying-Yang Cufflink, Secret Report 11
- Tips: You are up against the giant metal Heartless as well as the normal big Heartless. You want to take care of the adds quickly so you can focus all your energy on the giant one. It will use armor at one point so be sure to demolish that quickly so you can take out its health again.
Battlegate #12 – San Fransokyo[edit]

- Location: Keyblade Graveyard – Badlands. Go to this save point and head north. You can’t miss it.
- Fast Travel Point: Badlands
