"Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways" is a permanent weekly combat game mode in *Wuthering Waves*, introduced in Version 2.1 and available during April 14–20, 2025. Below is a concise overview based on recent information for that week:

### Overview
- **Location**: Ragunna City, Rinascita
- **Type**: Roguelite-style weekly challenge
- **Reset**: Resets every Monday, with the cycle active during April 14–20, 2025, aligning with the weekly reset on April 14.
- **Objective**: Players enter the Somnoire through gateways to clear 13 Memory Zones, restoring corrupted zones affected by a "spiritual plague."

### Unlock Requirements
- **Union Level**: 30
- **Story Progress**: Complete the prologue of Chapter II, "Through the Sea Thou Break," to reach Ragunna City and activate the Resonance Nexus.
- **Side Quest**: Complete the side quest "Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways" (available since February 17, 2025) to unlock the mode’s location near Thessaleo Fells.

### Gameplay Mechanics
- **Team Composition**: Form a team of three Resonators. Weekly Dreamscape Aid Resonators (e.g., Camellya and Roccia for a prior cycle) provide a 150% Illusive Points bonus if included.
- **Memory Zones**: Progress through 13 zones:
- **Zones 6 and 12**: Memory of Rest rooms for exchanging Dream Fragments for Metaphors.
- **Zones 7 and 13**: Boss rooms where defeating enemies spawns Remnant Crystals.
- **Metaphors**: Buffs enhance Resonators (e.g., ATK, Crit, DMG). "Dreamscape Power" Metaphors boost the Lucid Dream state.
- **Lucid Dream**: Activated by filling the Dreamscape Energy gauge through attacks, granting buffs like increased Crit Rate and reduced cooldowns for 10 seconds.
- **Illusive Points**: Earn up to 6,000 points weekly (4,000 base, 6,000 with Aid Resonators) to unlock all rewards. Points accumulate across runs.

### Rewards
- **Weekly Rewards**: Up to 160 Astrite (enough for one Convene pull), tied to Illusive Points.
- **Remnant Crystal Rewards** (Zones 7 and 13):
- Cost: 60 Waveplates (120 for double rewards)
- Items: Unborn Echoes (choose Echoes from any Tacet Field), Premium Sealed Tubes, Premium Tuners, Shell Credits.
- **Note**: Rewards are similar to Tacet Fields but offer flexibility in choosing Echo types, though some players note fewer Echo drops.

### Tips for April 14–20, 2025
- **Check Aid Resonators**: The week’s Dreamscape Aid Resonators and buffs weren’t specified for April 14–20 in the provided data. Check in-game or community sources for the current rotation. Including at least one Aid Resonator ensures max Illusive Points (6,000).
- **Optimize Metaphors**: Prioritize Metaphors that synergize with your team and enhance Lucid Dream for boss fights in Zones 7 and 13.
- **Waveplate Management**: Use 60 Waveplates per Remnant Crystal claim, or 120 for double rewards, but balance with other activities like Tacet Fields, which are faster for Echo farming.
- **Community Feedback**: Players noted the mode is engaging but time-consuming (10–15 minutes vs. 2 for Tacet Fields) and suggest improvements in reward efficiency.

### Additional Notes
- **Access**: Interact with red gateways in Rinascita or warp via the Recurring Challenges menu.
- **Story Context**: The mode ties to the Somnoire, managed by the Ebony Gatekeeper (Cosmos), who tasks players with purging impurities in Memory Zones.
- **Player Sentiment**: Community discussions highlight the mode’s reset reminders and its value for Astrite and Echo EXP, though some find it less efficient than Tacet Fields.
