Chapter 1's Intensity Gate.
Intensity Gates (ホンキ度扉 Honki-do Tobira, "Intensity Door") are special doorways introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. These doorways can only be found during the land battle portions of chapters and always contain loot in some capacity.
To open an Intensity Gate, the player must be playing at an intensity level that is equal to or greater than the number shown on the gate. However, players should exercise caution when opening them, as some hold enemies.
Chapter 1[]
Gate Level: 5[]
The level 5 Intensity Gate.
This Intensity Gate is found directly to the right of the fountain. Because this is the first Intensity Gate that Pit finds, Palutena will fill him in on what it is. Inside are a Crawler and two Gyrazers which must be defeated in order for a Treasure Box and some food to appear.
Chapter 3[]
Gate Level: 4[]
The level 4 Intensity Gate.
Near the start of the land battle, this gate can be found in the area with two Commylooses at the top of a small staircase. It will take Pit down a pathway, but players shouldn't drop off at the end, which will take them back to the starting point—instead, they should take a sharp right to find a Treasure Box. Turning around and going back the way they came also reveals a Souflee.
Gate Level: 7[]
The level 7 Intensity Gate.
This gate can be found in the area immediately after the mini boss fight with the first Hewdraw head, located to the left of the Monolith. Inside is a Treasure Box and two Wave Anglers.
Chapter 4[]
Gate Level: 5[]
The level 5 Intensity Gate.
In the small area with a jump pad in the center, players should walk past the jump pad and proceed to the door behind it. This will take Pit up to the Intensity Gate, which is located behind the elevator. Proceeding to the end of the path behind this gate yields two Treasure Boxes, though players should be careful, as two Reapers, a Boogity, a Souflee, and a Shrip will spawn on the return trip back.
Chapter 5[]
Gate Level: 4[]
The level 4 Intensity Gate.
Near the beginning of the trampoline area, past the place where the Monoeye is seen bouncing, there should be a green bounce pad to the right; past that will be another bounce pad, and following that will be the Intensity Gate. The room behind it contains three Treasure Boxes; the one on the left contains a weapon or power, the one on the right contains food and Hearts, and the one in the middle is a Mimicutie. Upon opening a Treasure Box or activating the Mimicutie, the remaining boxes will disappear.
Gate Level: 8[]
The level 8 Intensity Gate.
In the area with trampolines, where Pit encounters the second Specknose, he can drop down beneath the platform it is found on to reveal the level 8 Intensity Gate. Inside the gate is a single Treasure Box. As an easter egg, the room is textured to look like a store from the original Kid Icarus.
Chapter 7[]
Gate Level: 9[]
The level 9 Intensity Gate.
This gate can be found at the very beginning of the land battle portion of the chapter, to the right of the first room. The gate will take Pit to a room with puddles and an electric current.

Afterwards, Pit will be led back to a room filled with enemies.

In it are a Girin, a Sinistew, and a Hot Spring. There is also a Souflee hiding in the scenery to the right, and a Mimicutie down a small staircase next to the Hot Spring. If the Mimicutie is defeated, the player will be rewarded with a weapon or power.
