HEY EVERYONE,
I have defeated the EVIL !!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> But why the game ended so abruptly???Is it how it ends?That Janus (or whatever)didn't say even a word! It's not interesting I was expecting a name of champion for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />

I would have never thought that the language of pure image is so hard to understand. We have to think about that in the future...

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ascension "Blessing" cutscene
After you got sacrificed by the council of seven your spirit awakes in a divine realms on an altar. Around you the ideas of the seven gods are manifesting. You can roughly separate impish, human, elven or orcish gods...
Everyone of them grabs into their chest and puts a small part of the heart into your weightless shape. After you received all blessing the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> in you is fully developed and so her wings grow and she flies up to the mortal plane where she descends as the reborn hero into the wastelands.

Extro scene
You see the demon of lies dying. In fact you see the mutiliated body of janus ripped into pieces and the leftover, the sword of lies, remains. It comes closer and tries to seduce the hero. The hero is tempted to take it but refuses and sends it back to hell away from the mortal plane.
Then the hero hears the cries of the baby. Knowing that it is the lord of chaos inside the child he/she draws the dagger to kill it. In the hero's moral struggle to kill a neborn innocent child the scene fades out.
Much later you see the hero walk out victorious into the swamp area. He carries something. Loot? The child? You don't know for sure...
Somewhere on a distant hill Arhu and Zandalor watch you coming when suddenly the statue you lifted up in the sky while entering the katacombs of aleroth comes down finally...(side joke, nothing more)

Did the demon die or stand with fire coming out of his chest? Did you have the CD in the drive? No-CD hack?

Did you use freeze or scorpion traps? In the end it sometimes freezes up if the demon is killed with freeze or scorpion traps sometimes even with stun.

See if you have a recent save an try again.

Did you see the video during the blessing ceremony? After killing the Demon of Lies, did you see the credits, or did the game just exit or return to the menu?

Strange. If the demon keeps on standing and fire comes out of his chest: this is the endgame bug, I'd retry the fight then.

If you have your CD in the drive, have seen all other videos before, not tampered with your config file and no NO-CD-crack you should have seen the end video.

There should some *.bik video files in the '\disc3\static' folder of the play CD; the 3 20+ MB files should be for the blessing ritual and end video. You can downloaded the RAD Video Tools to watch the video if you can not get the game to play it.

Raze, thanks for the description of the "cut-scene". It all makes much clearer to me. I didn't know it before ( I don't read regularly here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ).

Anyway, I might add a BIG spoiler :


Please don't read if you think you will lose things in reading this ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />



In an Interview about Riftrunner : Beyond Divinity (that's my personal title) , Lar revealed that the child grows up to a point - because he said that there are two : The Divine One and the Damned One. He stated that the first one is the hero from <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> 1 and the second actually the baby from the end of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> 1 .


When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

I agree 100% about the abrupt ending. I wasn't even sure that the game had ended until the Larian credits scrolled. Even more confusing was the entry in my Quest list saying that since the Demon of Lies had completed his summoning, the world was lost and ".... all that is left now is revenge."
