* The film ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', the TropeNamer, involves 9 needing to go back to the room where he and the other stitchpunks were created in order to stop the Fabrication Machine. The talisman that allowed them to be created is most commonly termed "the Source" by the fanbase, as it did transfer the stitchpunks' souls into their bodies. Though in the movie, 6 was implied to actually be referring to the scientist who used the Source to create them...

* This trope is a necessary to become a true Concept in the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries''. While not necessary to becoming an Alicorn, taking the next step requires returning to Fauna Luster, the Mother of All Things. Fauna Luster's title is NotHyperbole: she's ''literally'' the mother of every living thing that exists as all souls come from her. It's unknown if Draconequi works the same way as mortals ascending to become them are nigh nonexistent.

There's also a bit of a subversion: Once you get the MacGuffin, you have several choices of what to do with it. One is to bring it to Myst island, which seems appropriate as that's where the series began; however, doing this will result in a bad ending.

* In Chapter 4 of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', while exploring an ancient African ruin, Chris Redfield stumbles upon a long-abandoned dig site with decades-old equipment belonging to the Umbrella Corporation. It turns out this dig site is where the founders of Umbrella discovered the Progenitor Virus, which would be the basis which they derived all their viral research from: specifically, the virus was originally from a rare flower that grew only in the Kijuju area. It was a rite of passage for ancient kings to ingest the flower and survive days of torment: if they did, they were fit to take the throne.
