Reclaiming back the powers of the Iop God, Sadlygrove was able to save the Sadida Kingdom by lifting the whole place above the tidal waters. However, his next decision is the most daring ever, as he plans to put an end to the entire threat to the World of Twelve by fighting Ogrest, the source of the flood. Knowing that not even with his newfound godly powers he's a match for the being who forced the gods into hiding, Yugo is determined to save him, but the only way he can think of is using the Six Eliatrope Dofus, just like Ogrest is using his Six Dofus.

Remembering Lady Echo's warnings about the risks of the clash of Dofus destroying the world, Adamai opposes Yugo's plan and tries to advocate a different solution, but Dally's life is in danger, more and more with each passing second, and Yugo is determined to risk the safety of the world to rescue his friend, much to Adamai's disgust, who forsakes his brother after a harsh fight.

Helped by the Dofus and Otomai, the Eliatrope King rushes to join Sadlygrove in the hardest battle ever, with the fate of the World at stake. As the Zinit quakes and the Six Dragons roar, will our heroes be able to save the world... or they will only accelerate its destruction?


Tropes:

  • Anti-Gravity Clothing: When Yugo "equips" the Six Eliatrope Dofus, they start rotate behind his back, forming a luminous Wakfu-blue ring hovering on his back.
  • An Arm and a Leg: At the peak of the battle, Dally gets his right arm bitten off by Dardondakal, nearly losing consciousness from the trauma and weakening his divine aura.
  • The Atoner: Otomai is willing to join the fight to stop Ogrest and rescue his "son", all to atone for the fact that his creation, which he left unchecked, caused so much destruction and forced the gods to abandon the world.
  • Beam Spam: During the battle against Ogrest, Yugo fills the sky above him with a dome of portals which then proceed to unleash a carpet bombing of lasers on Ogrest. It's impressive enough to give the monster pause and possibly injure him.
  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • Yugo zapping to Mount Zinit to join Sadlygrove and help him fighting Ogrest.
    • When both heroes are exhausted and a furious Ogrest is about to finish them off, Otomai manages to remove the Dofus from the stomach and make him puke them, depowering Ogrest for good.
    • Goultard's telepathic message to Yugo gives him a way to avoid the destruction of the world.
  • Bittersweet Ending: The world was ravaged and the Zinit destroyed, stranding the Eliatropes to the World of Twelve, and Yugo's fight with Adamai has put a wedge between them, with the latter even joining the Siblings. On the bright side, the world is saved, and Ogrest's threat is no more. Plus, Dally and Eva are finally married.
  • Black Comedy: After Otomai manages to save the heroes and stop Ogrest, Dally says that he would gladly applaud him, but his missing arm prevents him to do so.
  • Breath Weapon: The Dragons, of course: Ignemikhal breaths fire as expected, while Dardondakal and Grougalorasalar uses concentrated beams of pearly white light and purple darkness.
  • Brought Down to Normal: Ogrest is eventually forced to spit out the Dofus, turning him back into the harmless former self.
  • Cain and Abel: Yugo and Adamai have a fight over whether or not use the Eliatrope Dofus to save Dally, with Ad refusing to put the entire world into jeopardy to save a friend. When Yugo actually harms him to take the Dofus, Ad sees his actions as selfish and, despite Yugo's excuses, leaves him forever, eventually joining the Siblings.
  • Colony Drop: In an attempt to contain the damage done by the clashes with Ogrest, Yugo teleports the entire Zinit nearly in space... but unfortunately this ends up causing the mountain to slowly fall towards the World of Twelve, with fragments breaking down and forming meteors. Thankfully, they're able to avoid a total cataclysm by teleporting the Zinit to the Shukrute, where it crashes in a massive explosion.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • The giant portal Yugo uses to teleport the Zinit into the Shukrute looks identical to the inter-dimensional portal used by Qilby to reach the White Dimension and Emrub.
    • When the heroes return from the collapsing Shukrute, they appear in the same desert where Goultard's "tomb" was located.
  • Destructive Saviour: True, ultimately Yugo and Dally save the world, but the result of the battle against Ogrest results in the total destruction of the Zinit and severe damage to the lands of the World of Twelve as the fragments of the mountain break down and fall to earth.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Considering that Dally has barely got the hang of his divine powers and that Yugo is still a child, they do manage to give Ogrest some trouble, though as soon as the Dragons appear, any chance of success they may had is over.
  • Didn't Think This Through: When Yugo realizes that his clashes against Ogrest are sending powerful quakes and shockwaves affecting the surroundings, he tries to minimize the damage by teleporting the entire Zinit nearly up to space to contain the damage... unfortunately, this severely weakens him, leaving the six Dragons free to gang up on Dally on their own, and the fragments of the floating Zinit still turn into meteors as they detatch from the mountain. Plus, eventually the entire mountain falls down, Armageddon style.
  • Disappointed in You: Adamai, after his brother decides to endanger the world to save his friend and later sees the falling meteors hitting the ground.
  • Divine Delegation: By the end of the special, Dally has decided to renounce his divine status and give his powers back to Goultard.
  • Easily Forgiven: Elely seems to hold no bad feelings towards the little Ogrest, even though the latter nearly killed her dad when he was bigger. Given that she's a Iop, she may consider him a Worthy Opponent by proxy?
  • Elemental Embodiment: While most of the dragons seem pretty physical, Aguabrigal is apparently made of solid water.
  • End of an Age: With the destruction of the Zinit and the defeat of Ogrest, the world of Wakfu starts undergoing the changes which will be made definitive in the third and fourth season.
  • The End of the World as We Know It: As pointed out by Lady Echo, the clash of the two beings empowered by the Six Dofus (each) sends world-shaking quakes and shockwaves whenever they land a hit. Also, Yugo's attempt to contain the damage by teleporting the mountain to space nearly cause the destruction of the world by giant falling mountain of doom.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: Disappointed by Yugo and believing that the Brotherhood has forsaken him, Adamai is persuaded by Echo to leave them and join her Siblings, the Brotherhood of the Forgotten.
  • Final Boss: Ogrest, who's pretty much the Final Boss of the entire setting of Wakfu as a whole.
  • Flunky Boss: In the second half of the special, Ogrest forgoes fighting one on two and summons the six Dragons to fight for him.
  • Foreshadowing: Notice all those spectral Eliatrope-looking figures that appear when Yugo is tapping into the Six Eliatrope Dofus' power? Those are in fact the first of the Eliatrope race.
  • From Bad to Worse: As mentioned, Dally fighting Ogrest will result in the latter going from sad (floods the world with tears) to angry (which probably only happened back when the gods tried to fight him).
  • Genius Bruiser: Ultimately it's Goultard, a Iop, who comes up with a plan to dispose of the falling Zinit and avoid the destruction of the World of Twelve.
  • Interesting Situation Duel: What, fighting the strongest beast of the planet on the tip of a storm-wrecked mountain isn't enough? Well, how about having the mountain teleported nearly into space, and adding to the roster six extremely powerful dragons?
  • Irony: In Season 2, Rushu claimed that there was nothing left to destroy in the Shukrute. This special proves him wrong when the falling Zinit is dropped there, and proceeds to wreck the place even worse with its resulting landing and explosion.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While Adamai's decision would leave Dally to die at the hands of Ogrest (and probably rile him enough to worsen his cry fit), he's right to point out that Yugo joining the battle with the Six Eliatrope Dofus will put the entire world into jeopardy. In fact, it's only through sheer luck if the world is saved, not destroyed.
  • Karma Houdini: Even though the Sadida guards are ready to butcher Ogrest the moment they see him, Otomai protects him and pleads them to spare him. While he did cause destruction and countless victims, Ogrest was still tricked and manipulated, and his true self seemingly wants to make amend for his atrocities alongside his "father" Otomai.
  • Kill It Through Its Stomach: Otomai has Dally open the mouth of Ogrest so that he can fly inside, reach the stomach and remove the Dofus.
  • Light Is Not Good: Dardondakal is the dragon of the Ivory Dofus representing Light, but he's one of the fiercest and even bites off Dally's arm.
  • MacGuffin Guardian: By the end of the special, Ogrest has given each Dofus to their respective Dragon, while Yugo asks a divine-again Goultard to watch over the Eliatrope Dofus.
  • Manipulative Bitch: At the very end, Lady Echo plays on Adamai's feelings and tricks him into believing that the Brotherhood has abandoned him and won't look for him so that he can join the Forgotten.
  • Metaphorically True: Lady Echo wasn't lying when she said that the world could be destroyed by the battle between Yugo and Ogrest with both using the Dofus... but she didn't mention to Adamai that Yugo could find a way to minimize the damage and avert the destruction of the world.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Yugo feels incredibly guilty when Adamai forsakes him after their heated argument, but he still wants to save Dally. Later, he also has a minor one when he realizes the extent of the collateral damage caused by the fight.
  • Near-Villain Victory: Thanks to the Dragons, Ogrest would have won, had Otomai not recovered the Dofus from his stomach to depower him.
  • The Needs of the Many: Adamai tries to argue this, claiming that as much as he doesn't want Dally to die, using the Eliatrope Dofus could end up in far more being killed over the world as collateral damage from the two sets of Dofus clashing. Yugo, who believes they can use them to save Dally and the world without causing another apocalypse, refuses to accept Dally's certain death over "just" potential deaths.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Yugo's attempt to help Sadlygrove and save his life greatly damages the World of Twelve, even if he's able to prevent complete annihilation.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Yugo, when he realizes the damage caused by the clash against Ogrest.
    • Ogrest has a moment of genuine fear when he sees the huge number of Wakfu portals hovering over him before they unleash their load of lasers.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: The Six elemental Dragons all appear, each with a distinctive appearance:
    • Ignemikhal of the Crimson Dofus is a colossal fat red dragon with horns on the sides of the mouth, disproportionally small wings, a huge tail nearly as big and bulky as the rest of his body and a double row of spikes on his back.
    • Aguabrigal of the Turquoise Dofus is the smallest of the six, a traditional four legged and two-winged dragon seemingly made of opaque teal water with butterfly-like wings and a cobra-like hood.
    • Aeralfal of the Emerald Dofus is a green feathered dragon with four wings and whose head resembles that of an eagle.
    • Terrakourial of the Ochre Dofus resembles a slim, classical dragon with yellow scales, a narrow pointy snout and a mane of spikes on the back of his head, colored red near the tip. His wings resemble twin sails on the sides of his back.
    • Grougalorasalar of the Ebony Dofus is a wyvern-like dark dragon resembling a giant bat with a protunding, massive bone chin, a mane of greenish hair and a relatively short tail.
    • Dardondakal of the Ivory Dofus is a pure white wyvern mostly covered in fur with a large fluffy tail, mouse-like ears on the sides of his head, below the horns and long whiskers.
  • Papa Wolf: Otomai deeply regrets having abandoned Ogrest, blaming himself for the latter's fall, and is more than willing to shield him from an entire garrison's worth of spears to protect him, no matter what Ogrest did.
  • Pet the Dog: While they're bound to serve Ogrest because he owns the Dofus, the Dragons seems to be really close to him and vice-versa, as seen when Aeralfal rubs his beak on the side of Ogrest's face while the latter pets Dardondakal on the head.
  • Physical God: Sadlygrove and Dofus-empowered Yugo have enough raw power to match the gods... unfortunately for them, so does Ogrest himself.
  • Sadistic Choice: Yugo at the beginning: letting his best friend Sadlygrove die at Ogrest' hands, bringing pain to his entire family and the Brotherhood, or use the Eliatrope Dofus to join him and put the entire world in danger.
  • Spot the Impostor: When Adamai objects helping Sadlygrove, Yugo thinks he's actually the shapeshifter Sipho Kerubim told him about and attacks him, but relents once Ad reminds him of the fact that Az had a family, and tell him the name they choose for his chicks.
  • The Stinger: A distraught Adamai believes that his friends aren't looking for him anymore, fears exploited and fed by Lady Echo who welcomes him in the Brotherhood of the Forgotten.
  • Synchronization: Elely's demigod blood allows her to feel what Sadlygrove is feeling as he's fighting Ogrest.
  • Tragic Villain: Ogrest may be a destructive and violent beast who's caused thousands of victims by flooding the world with his cry fits and forced the gods to abandon their followers, but in the end he's just a manipulated victim who missed his dad, and his tears are caused by genuine grief over Dathura's abandonment.
  • True Companions: Yugo is willing to risk using the Six Eliatrope Dofus and put the entire world in danger to rescue his friend Dally from what's essentially the strongest being on the planet.
  • Undying Loyalty: The Six Dragons are loyal to Ogrest and fight to protect him. Even when he no longer has the Dofus, they listen to his last request and watch over their Dofus.
  • Wind from Beneath My Wings: At one point Aeralfal stops Dally in his tracks by flapping his four wings and summoning a tornado to blow him away.
  • Womb Level: Otomai uses his bird form to enter Ogrest's mouth to reach his incredibly large and psychedelic stomach to recover the embedded Dofus, confronting a projection of the real Ogrest calling him out for abandoning him.
  • World's Strongest Man: Ogrest is very much this. Case in point, he has the fight against Sadlygrove well in hand despite the latter's use of the Iop God's power (the same power that allowed Goultard to overwhelm Rushu) and the only time he takes an attack that actually has him worried is when Yugo using the Six Eliatrope Dofus to carpet-bomb him. Otherwise, his strikes send his god-level foes careening away in pain while he takes and recovers from their blows far faster and easier.
