Where to Find the Gate

Please note: all credit goes to Shmoo!

Before you can open the gate you need to find the bloody thing!

If you head as far into the Indigo Quarry as you can, you will find a cave system that leads to a door, you will need to unlock it with a Slime Key.

Entrance to the cave can be found in the top right of the picture.

Opened with a slime key.

Now you’re in!

Now What?

Now you need to collect plorts!
You will need ONE of the each of the following plorts.
The pink plort is already there for you!

  • Rock Plort 
  • Rad Plort 
  • Honey Plort 
  • Tabby Plort 
  • Phosphor Plort 
  • Boom Plort 

Don’t come back until you have ’em!

I suggest collecting Tabby, Rad and Honey first (as you have limited carry slots) as they won’t be found as local to the area. Rock and Boom can be found locally in The Indigo Quarry and therefore will be closer and faster to obtain. Phosphor’s will spawn in the local caves (where there is no sunlight) or you can wait until dark!

Now Fire Away! (How to Open)

To open the gate you will need to ‘insert’ each plort into the correct Slime ‘slot’.
These are stone statues that can be found scattered around the area, each with a matching colour to their Slime/Plort.

When shooting the plorts into the slots I suggest getting quite close and aiming straight for the plort slot (diamond/kite shape) to avoid them bouncing around or you missing by accident!

Phosphor Statue Location

Straight forward as you enter the area, it is facing the cave system you exit from.

Rad Statue Location

As you enter the area, before you reach the Phosphor Statue, there are a pile (in a line) of broken stones. Turn left as soon as possible, and look up to your left. It is on a ledge.
