** Their leader, Solar Saint, may seem like a simple counterpart to the Moon Guardian. But when he was a simple mage, this one is a straight up HumanoidAbomination. It ''lives on the Sun itself'', shrugs off the Suns you throw at him like it's nothing, can jump a huge height in one leap and can just reappear at the arena should he fall. And that's not taking the huge hammer he can generate miniature exploding Suns with. And once you bring be to 25% health, he stops, ''opens up his faceplate'' and reveals his head is also a miniature sun, proceeding to turn into a walking minigun bomb launcher. And once you kill him, ''the sky goes dark. '' Just how exactly does he have all this traits [[NothingIsScary is never explained]].

** The crystal beasts are unnerving with their swift movements and powerful strikes, especially sharks.sharks.
**The boss of the dimension is not an Archmage of Chaos, but rather creatures from another world known as Twin Terror, a pare of gigantic monstrous serpents with glowing eyes, dark skin and terrifying combat capabilities. These things swim through the air itself, can produce harmful soundwaves and even ram the Champion to knock him into the void. The guttural growls and screams they make during the entire fight don't ease the horror factor.
*As you are told in the beginning, you are told the Gateway of the Ancients is a hidden crossroads that has not been discovered by evil. Guess what? As soon as you're done with all dimensions, it abruptly breaks a part of the Gateway to make way for a portal directly into the Void. Had the Champion not intervened, the last save haven would surely be destroyed.
*''The Void itself. '' An absolutely hellish EldritchLocation where RealityIsOutToLunch as bits and pieces come out of nowhere to make way for you, terrifying LivingShadows are aplenty and eagerly can tear you to shreds and darkness is everpresent. AlienGeometries replace any coherent form of landscape and SpikesOfVillainy grow everywhere. An absolute hostile and fear-inducing, worthy of being TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.
**The final fight is in equal parts awesome and terrifying as you finally come across the true BigBad of the game, and it's not an evil wizard or demon - it's the Evil itself, a towering EldritchAbomination MadeOfEvil humanoid with many eyes and tons of tentacle-like growths. This being can fight with your energy, from creating shotgun-like energy blasts and acid beams to taking the entire galaxies and throwing them at you, as well as ThinkingUpPortals. What differs him from other bosses is that he has so much HP you're practically required to use Soul Mode attacks on him to do more than ScratchDamage. This absolute powerhouse of a RealityWarper singlehandedly corrupted every known universe and he didn't even have to leave his homeworld, and it is capable of feats to back up his reputation.
**The being remains DefiantToTheEnd - when low on HP, it destroys most of platforms and starts throwing out tears in fabric of space itself, which can obliterate you, and once it drops to 0, it makes a final attempt to crush you with it's fist. While it does that, everything but you and the entity disappears, suggesting that the Evil has even created the Void too, and now is the only bit of it that remains. And once you chop off it's finger, it shrieks madly and dissolves, only leaving behind a final void portal. If the Voice of Ancients wouldn't intervene, the Champion would die there and then by falling in. Thankfully, the intervention transports him to Haven of Ancients, averting a DownerEnding.
