Plot

Main article: Taking the World Tree/Script

Lianna and Rowan are amazed to see that the World Tree in their mother's story turns out to be real. Marth however notes the large number of Outrealm Fiends and Gristonne troops, to which Caeda, Navarre, and Tiki voice their support in defeating them. Marth then expresses concern over Caeda's safety to her, who responds that she choose to fight beside him. Nearby, Gharnef see the arrival of Marth and his new allies, declaring that he will make sure they never reach the resting power in the World Tree.

During the battle, the group is seemly able to defeat Gharnef, only for him to reveal that was just a shadow. More shadows of Gharnef began to appear, with the real one hiding among them. However the group is able to track down and defeat the real Gharnef, forcing him to retreat. After doing so, the ivy blocking the way to the top of the tree clears away, allowing the group to access it. There they find the two swords Enliron and Facinna. Rowan and Lianna take each sword respectively and pulls them from their pedestal as all their allies watch and encourage them.

Summary

The party arrives at the World Tree only to find it under the control of the Gristonne army. They break through in a push for the Divine Dragon's power but are confronted by strange shadows.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

After defeating the first Gharnef, shadows of him will appear across the map. The real one will always spawn next to Trident Ruins. You can easily deduce the real one by attacking them: shadows will retreat at critical HP, while the real one will verbally reveal himself if he has less than half his HP. Likewise, all the shadows will disappear if all the Mages are defeated.

After this battle, the History Mode map The Dark Pontifex will become available.
