After cutting their way through wave upon wave of shadow knights and magma beasts, the player reaches the temple just as the Shadow King is nearing the end of the ritual, and witnesses the Avatar of the God of Destruction kill him, and turn on the player. The player defeats the avatar in an epic battle, and is declared the King or Queen of the land (because "who else would rule?"). The final movie shows all the major settlements happily recovered and the land prospering.
