Neo City prequest (Time Gate)
Neo City is a future-themed area behind the 
Time Gate in Tera Forest Time Gate. You unlock it with the short
The Truth Behind that Man chain (The Suspicious Wanderer → Andy the Time Traveler). Then each era (2021 → 2099 → 2215 → 2216 → 2230 → 2503) opens
after you beat that era's Gatekeeper Nex. All of these are regular v83 quests, unchanged on BeyondMS.
Requirements
- Level 70+.
- Quests: The Suspicious Wanderer, The Wanderer's Whereabouts 1, The Wanderer's Whereabouts 2, Andy the Time Traveler.
- v83 quests involved: The Suspicious Wanderer, The Wanderer's Whereabouts 1, The Wanderer's Whereabouts 2, Andy the Time Traveler, Nex the Time Guard, Nex the Time Guard, Nex the Time Guard, Nex the Time Guard, Nex the Time Guard, Nex the Time Guard (regular quests are unchanged from v83, so each one has its own full guide)
Walkthrough
From Leafre → Leafre : East Forest → Minar Forest : East Border → Tera Forest Time Gate

Needs in-game check
The Discord guides don't settle these yet. If you know the answer, please update data/sections/bosses/neo-city.md.
- Are the Time Gate unlocks and the Nex fights unchanged on BeyondMS? Neo City isn't a boss prequest, but it's listed under #guides.
