Ravencloud Gate is the gateway players find upon first entering Forbidden Valley. Only those with a Maelstrom-Infused Ninja Hood can pass the through, although there are two secret ways around the Gate. One is a bouncer on the right side visible as players come from the Launch Pad to the Gate, and the other is a series of floating, and some moving, rocks that the player must jump across to a ledge before destroying a smashable door to get to the other side. If the player misses one of these rocks, it is possible to double-jump and glitch through the bottom. The Ravencloud Guardian watches over the gate.
