The Altean Army arrives at the floor where the Dark Pontifex Gharnef resides. Marth demands to know where his sister and the other clerics have gone. Gharnef tells him they will serve as a sacrifice for Medeus' awakening, and that their souls have been broken.

After defeating Gharnef, Marth and his troops climb more stairs to get to Medeus.
