Lost Ark’s deep blue seas are home to some awesome loot, but in order to access the mysterious Gate of Harmony and its associated co-op event, you’ll need the Key of Balance. Here’s how to get it.
Aside from the wonders of mainland Arkesia, Lost Ark‘s islands are teeming with fearsome foes and long-lost loot just begging to be taken.
If you’ve already tamed the beasts that have overrun the Tranquil Isle, you may have set your eyes on the Gate of Harmony, a vicious-looking whirlpool that is home to some fun co-op events.
In order to participate in the Gate of Harmony event, though, you’ll need the Key of Balance; so here’s a rundown of how to get it in Lost Ark.

How to access the Gate of Harmony
Now that you have the Key of Balance, you can head on over to the Gate of Harmony co-op mission in order to earn yourself some sweet, sweet rewards.
The gate is located right in the middle of North Vern and Arthetine, with the best starting port being Port Krona (see image below). From there:
- Sail northeast until you reach a huge, round chasm in the sea. This is the Gate of Harmony.
- Wait until the co-op event starts
- You are split into two groups and tasked with shooting undersea creatures. Whether you win or lose, you will receive the Chest of Harmony. Use the key to open it.
- You will be rewarded with Gienah’s Coin, and can use as many keys as you like if you have more than one
