Calypso Gateway is the beginners tutorial area on Planet Calypso after Crystalline Cavern and before Camp Icarus.

General note: The images in this guide will probably not show the visuals you experience because these are depending on graphics setting and time of arrival (there's time of day lighting).

How to get to Calypso Gateway

You can enter Calypso Gateway by leaving the Crystalline Cavern. You are not supposed to go back to the Crystalline Cavern, so you might want to make sure you have finished the Target Practise mission there.
