Gameplay[]
Battle for Rowgar[]
And so, the big battle begins. You'll be fighting a horde of enemies, but you won't be alone either. After defeating the first wave of enemies, Naaldir will resurrect all the dead orcs and dead guards. Then the fortress gates will lower, as behind it are reinforcements, including trolls and red dragons. Thankfully the Snowflake will fly in and drop the Hover tank, so hop on in, and take out the opposing force. After dealing with them, enter and turn right. Then go up the ramp. Picking up the Megasphere here, you'll notice Maarten, as well as an unknown character behind a gate, going down an elevator. Continue going up the ramp to the fortress wall. At the end, press the switch. This will raise the bridge, allowing you to get across. Now head left and enter the keep.
Naaldir's Keep[]
Order your squad to follow you and enter the throne room. Behind it is a door, which to open it, you'll need to collect 5 keys and place them on the pentagram here.
Purple Eyed Key – this one is in the same room where you place the artifacts. It's located on the table.
Orange Eyed Key – facing the door, go into the hallway to the right. Continue until you find a door to the right. Open it, face the Dark Avatar, and there's the Skull Crown on the table.
Red Eyed Key – facing the door, go into the hallway to the right. When you come across a hall with two rooms on either side, go into the one to the right. Head down the ramp and through the door. Go to the right, then enter the hallway to the right. At the end, head left, down the ramp to find the torch.
Blue Eyed Key – facing the door, go into the hallway to the left. Continue until you find a door to the left. Enter inside, dive underwater and deal with the Makaras. The Soul box can be found underneath the bridge.
White Eyed Key – facing the door, go into the hallway to the left. Continue until you find a library to the right. Enter inside, and the Dark Book will be found on the balcony. Just watch out for the Dragon that will spawn when you pick it up.
One you get all five artifacts, go back to the door, and place all the artifacts down on the pentagram where the candles are. After that... prepare for the boss rush.

Boss fight number 1 - Rusty Nails vs. Naaldir's Body. For this boss fight, you'll need to use the void bolts to curse Naaldir. After you curse him, use any anti-supernatural weapons, such as silver bolts, pulse rifle or plasma gun. Also, when using the void bolts, you can use purple mana for the void blast, as this will last longer than the regular attack itself. Also, keep in mind, the void archers can drop void bolts here if needed. Once you defeat Naaldir's body, it's time to move on onto the next boss.
Boss fight number 2 – Merlijn vs. Maarten. This fight with Maarten is similar to the fight near the Palace. Just keep attacking him until he kneels over. Once he does, it's time to move on to the next boss.
Boss fight number 3 – Sang vs. Naaldir's Mind. To start off the fight, use the Spellbook to summon a bunch of friendly Sorcerers. Then use any weapons that can harm supernatural beings. Watch out though, as Naaldir's mind can do an insta-kill attack. The only way to avoid this attack is to use the mirror orb (although you can survive the attack if you have Spirit Shield). Also keep in mind that Naaldir's Mind can also summon fake duplicates as well. After you beat it, we go back to Merlijn for the next fight.
Boss fight number 4 – Merlijn vs. Jedrik. This fight is tougher than the one with Maarten. Jedrik can throw explosive hammers at you, cast a lighntling spell, and can also summon Rage Heads. He carries a shield which can block most of your attacks. If you hit him too many times, you get stunned, and can't attack for a bit. To best way to attack him is when he's attacking (although you can't attack him when he's using the lightning spell). Once you take him out, Maarten is now back to normal (well, kind of). Now, onto the final boss fight.
Boss fight number 5 – Kagura vs. Naaldir's Soul. The final fight. To attack Naaldir's Soul, you'll need to kill enemies using Yo to charge him up. Once he's fully charged, throw a slash at Naaldir's Soul to damage it. Naaldir's Soul will start throwing powerful slashes at you. When it gets weaken, it will start doing a ground pound like the Trolls do. Then it will also summon Rage Heads. As you keep harming it, the more deadlier enemies will spawned. Also, check behind the portals, as some contains an Invincibility behind them. Once you defeat Naaldir's Soul, you've completed Episode 4. Prepare for unforeseen consequences and a shocking revelation...
