[[File:P4 Number Gate.png|thumb|250px|A numbered gate in the [[Secluded Courtyard]].]]

'''Numbered gates''' are [[gate]]s in {{p4}} that open once a certain number of nearby objectives have been cleared. Typically they require the player to defeat a given number of [[Enemy|enemies]], but some in the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]] count the number of [[treasure]]s collected instead. Their purpose is to make sure the player can't proceed until they've bested a challenge, so they are typically encountered in [[boss]] battles.

They are made of metal and have a dot-matrix display on the side for showing a 2-digit number. This number starts by showing how many are required and will count down by 1 when an enemy is defeated or treasure is collected in the region before them. This will also play a "ding" sound. Once the number reaches 0, the gate will move down into the ground, allowing the player to pass.
