Final Battle route opening through Stalagbite
Back to Drakath
On the Final Battle route, the Hero returns from the Underworld to the confrontation with Drakath. Gravelyn sees them alive and reacts in astonishment. The Hero's return interrupts the crisis left by her attack, but the scene does not supply a separate, fully reconstructed rescue of Gravelyn before turning to the two opponents.
The Hero claims Death's role and threatens Drakath with it. Drakath disputes the combination of identities, insisting that the Hero cannot simultaneously be the Eternal Dragon of Time, a god and Death. The Hero answers that they will become whatever is necessary to defeat him. Drakath counters with Chaos. These are their competing declarations in the scene, rather than a settled catalogue of which powers can coexist.
Their next clash injures Drakath's wing. The preserved scene account describes the Hero tearing one wing away; the native director includes the Hero's ripping motions, and Drakath declares that he does not need his wings to finish the fight. The dialogue and controls establish the reversal without making the static renders a complete reproduction of the injury.
Drakath calls Desolich to him and takes to the dragon. He sends the pursuit after the Hero. The community scene account describes him making copies of himself during this escalation, while the native scene supplies the summons, Desolich's arrival and the order to follow. The account's exact duplication effect remains qualified by the unexecuted animation states.
Stratos calls the Hero toward the Skyguard ship and orders its cannons trained on Drakath. The Hero warns that he is already coming to them. The scene account describes Drakath boarding and chaorrupting the Skyguards. His spoken threat is broader still: the entire world and everything the Hero values will submit to him. It remains a threat, rather than an accomplished conquest.
Sally takes Drakath's talk of skulls as an invitation. Her response is explicit in the native dialogue; the preserved scene account identifies the fighter she sends as Vordred and describes his attack on Drakath ending in his destruction. The native samples show Sally, the clash's effects and the following rain of skulls, but do not reproduce every part of that exchange. Drakath returns to Desolich and boasts that the Hero still does not understand his power.
Farewell, Stalagbite
The pursuit continues around the mountainside. In the preserved scene account, Drakath drags his sword along the rock and sends rubble down onto the Skyguard ship. The native sequence directs his scraping motion and the Hero's struggle to hold on, then follows with falling poses. The ship is no longer a secure refuge from the dragon-riding enemy.
Stalagbite catches the falling Hero and carries them back into the fight. The native scene's fall and dragon-riding states, together with the sampled dragon imagery, support the rescue described by the community account. The Hero's own wings are part of the presentation, but the sequence does not establish a general rule that those wings cannot fly or that Death's powers have already been lost.
The Hero jumps from Stalagbite toward Desolich. The preserved account describes the larger dragon trapping them in its mouth before they break free and reach a floating rock platform. Native jumping, capture and impact controls accompany that movement. The full escape choreography remains limited by the nested actor and camera states that the static extraction does not execute.
The farewell turns the rescue into a loss. The community account identifies Drakath's final energy attack as killing Stalagbite. The native director cues Desolich's firing sequence, and the inspected frames preserve the dragon imagery and attack's aftermath, but the complete strike and death movement are not independently verified by those frames. Stalagbite's fate is retained with that source qualification.
These four replays belong to Final Battle in the official travel metadata. The preserved story quests for that map require successive confrontations with Drakath, while the Confrontation hub's own linked quest page concerns the optional armor reward after the Final Showdown. The reward page is not the missing story progression, and collecting that armor is not an event this narrative requires the Hero to perform.
The hub links to several battle maps, and the historical release record describes multiple ending routes before the later Queen of Monsters confrontation. These chapters follow the four Final Battle bindings through Stalagbite's farewell. They do not establish a single mandatory order for every linked map, complete the remaining pursuit, or settle the later choice promised by the Finale announcements.
