Ashitaka recovers and finds Tataraba besieged by Asano's samurai. The boar clan is annihilated in battle, and Okkoto is corrupted by his wounds. Jiko-bō's men trick Okkoto into leading them to the Forest Spirit. San tries to stop Okkoto but is swept up in his demonic corruption. Ashitaka saves her and the Forest Spirit euthanizes Okkoto and Moro. As it transforms into the Daidarabotchi, Eboshi decapitates it. It bleeds ooze, which spreads over the land, killing anything it touches. Jiko-bō steals the Spirit's head. The forest and kodama begin to die; Moro's head comes alive and bites off Eboshi's right arm, but she survives.
