|---|---|
| 2 | Continue forward, taking the detour around it. |
| 3 | Head toward the gate from Nuts 'n Bolts HIlls and unlock it. |
Tips
Climb the ladder in Nuts 'n Bolts HIlls
There isn't much to this discovery quest, simply go around the gate and open it from the other side. Continue forward with the story, and after spotting the ladder right after entering Nuts 'n Bolts Hills, climb up it to unlock the gate.
This gate is very useful as a shortcut for for completing Odd Jobs in the chapter, so be sure and open it up when you have the chance.
