The Gates in Creature Isle

[Hammer]

While playing Creature Isle, I noticed the gates from Land 1 in Black & White. They are over by the Celtic village, Gate Stone Pedestal and all.

Is there a way to open them in Creature Isle? If so, does opening them even do anything? Or are they just there because Lionhead felt like putting them in?

i think lionhead put them in for cosmetic reason only, but i could be mistaken cause i havent played it in so long

It's been many years but I think they only open when your creature or Tyke walk near them.

I think they may be cosmetic, because I just tried having both my Creature and Tyke walk near it, and nothing happened. I also had my Creature interact with the Gates, but nothing happened.

Maybe you have to beat a certain Trial first. Or all of the Trials.

I don't think the Gate Stones would happen to be on Creature Isle. I think they might be just there.

Any other ideas on how to open them?

EDIT: My mistake, guys. It turns out if you take the town, the Gates open when your Creature walks by them. You were right, fenton_pat.

Although my Creature refuses to walk through the Gates when I try to get him to. I think he's simply too big, because he tries to get to the spot, but his pathfinding takes him around the Gates. Oh well. I guess Tyke can use them.

The gates are there to use as 'cheat' for the race - if you captured the town.

This is why they open for your creature / tyke only.

A shrink creature is advised - same as with the normal non town cheat path

Huh, I never knew those gates could be used to cheat. I've known about the other shortcut for forever, but the town one is new to me.

I guess I know what they're for now. Thanks guys.
