Gate Guardian	comment	Gates are important, protecting entrances to regions, cities, strongholds, portals, treasure, etc. and thus must have a guardian to protect them. These guardians can be solitary or numerous, human or animal, normal or mystical, but will always serve as a tough impediment to any who try to cross the gate uninvited. If one desires to pass through them, one might need to beat them up in a fight, either to incapacitate them or prove to them that he's strong enough to pass. Or one may need to answer their questions or quizzes the right way. Or one may just bribe them with the right amount/thing. Supertrope to Angry Guard Dog, and not to be confused with Threshold Guardians, although a gate guardian can also be one of those. A gate guardian often invokes You Shall Not Pass! by nature of his job. Related to NPC Roadblock. Compare and contrast Locked Door and Kill Enemies to Open. Compare Win to Exit, which may overlap with this trope, given that both involve completing an objective to get to a different area.

Gate Guardian / int_1869a077	comment	One episode of Samurai Jack has Jack discovering a working time portal, and a guardian who is sworn to not allow ANYONE to use it unless they are worthy. Jack's repeated pleas that he needs to use the time portal to defeat Aku is met with general apathy from the guardian. Jack finally decides to take the portal by force, and battles it out with the guardian. After a long fight, the guardian absolutely pummels Jack after giving him one last chance to give up (which Jack refuses), but before he can land the killing blow, the portal tells him to stand down, and the guardian sends the unconscious Jack off on the back of a dragon-like creature. The guardian looks into the portal and sees an older Jack leading an army against Aku. He says that Jack wasn't worthy of using the portal. Not yet...

Jidanbo is a giant who is not a fantastic fighter, but his massive girth is necessary to open the gate, which only responds to physical force and resists spirit energy.

Gate Guardian / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire has several gate guardians. The Night's Watch guard the passages through the Wall, a 700 feet high and 300 miles long structure that separates the North from the the lands beyond the Wall. They fight off repeated assaults from Wildlings attempting to invade Westeros, but the true threat they guard against are the Others. The Bloody Gate, the entrance into the Vale of Arryn, is guarded by a small garrison under the command of the Knight of the Bloody Gate, who traditionally asks "Who would pass the Bloody Gate?" to any who seeks passage through. At the start of the series, the position is held by Ser Brynden Tully, but he resigns the post to fight for his grand-nephew in the War of the Five Kings. He is replaced by Ser Donnel Waynwood, who is directed by Lady Lysa Arryn to prevent any outsiders from accessing the Vale while the war is going on. Also in The Vale are the Gates of the Moon, which protects access to the Eyrie, the seat of House Arryn. The defender of the Gates of the Moon is given the title Keeper of the Gates of the Moon. Lord Nestor Royce holds the title at the start of the series, and in A Feast for Crows, the title and position are made hereditary to his line. Access to the region of Dorne by land is restricted to two mountain passes: the Boneway and the Prince's Pass. The Boneway is defended by a castle at Yronwood, seat of House Yronwood, with the head of the house given the title Warden of the Stone Way (the colloquial name for the Boneway) and is tasked with defending the gate at the end of the pass. Their sigil (a black portcullis) and house words ("We Guard the Way") reflect this duty. The Prince's Pass is similarly defended by House Fowler from the castle of Skyreach, and they are given the title Warden of the Prince's Pass.

He's stopped by Pepe Martinez, one of Sheriff Sanchez's deputies. Pepe is stationed on the cliff with a rifle to stop and search anyone riding into town to reduce the chance of anyone breaking the outlaws out of jail before their execution.

Gate Guardian / int_be5569d	comment	In The Return of the King, the Tower of Cirith Ungol is guarded by two huge three-headed statues called the Watchers, that are apparently somehow sentient. If any unknown or unrecognized person approaches, the Watchers stop the person from proceeding into (or out of) the tower by sheer force of will. Sam is only able to get past the Watchers using the Phial of Galadriel and his own determination to rescue his master.

Gate Guardian / int_c564dcf0	comment	Moving Pictures, a pastiche of film history, has the golden man, an obvious Shout-Out to the Oscar, who is at first is taken by the characters to be some kind of dangerous god sealed away behind a gate. Then they realize that the text with this information should be read right to left, and he is in fact standing in front of the gate, i.e. as a guard against the Eldritch Abominations on the other side.

He doesn't actually guard the gate, he's just waiting for the gate to open, so he can enter it himself. Anyone else he meets is just unlucky to cross paths with him.

Gate Guardian / int_d14c3aa1	comment	In Ghostbusters (1984), Zuul (who looks like a large demonic dog) is the Gatekeeper of the dimensional portal that Gozer the Gozerian arrives through. Its counterpart, Vinz Clortho, The Keymaster, also looks like a giant demon dog. They hatch out of statues of their likenesses, proceed to possess humans then bring Gozer into the world before transforming back into demonic dogs who then guard the entrance for Gozer. Ghostbusters: Afterlife: The final act reveals that Egon spent the ten years before his death using proton packs to force back hordes of evil spirits whenever they try to get through a dimensional gateway in Shandor's mine. Even after his death, he leaves behind several automated proton packs that continue to render the gateway impassable.

More often than not they are beneficial as they have a habit of covering entrances to boss battles and tend to drop items that replenish high quantities of health and ammunition.

At the town of Benning (where the Postman is already inside) the two men stationed at the gate refuse to let in the Holnsit militia when they arrive looking for the Postman, shooting arrows out them and yelling for the bandits to "Drop dead and go to hell." This causes the Holnists to attack the town in force.
