They saved the world only to be abandoned, and Reese was killed.
Ozma asks Khazan to join him.
Khazan rejects him, remembering his actions and seeking justice for Reese and their companions.
The final boss fight begins as Ozma unleashes chaos.
29Lord of Chaos phase one: sword attacks and elemental spells
Ozma has two main phases; the earlier right-hand ending branch adds a third duel.
His principal attacks are listed below.
Attack ①:
Two slashes lead into a charged weapon plunge and a large explosion around him. Time your dodge for the blast.
Attack ②:
A charged forward shockwave with a clear release timing.
Attack ③:
Arcane projectiles that can be evaded.
Attack ④:
He rises and throws down a charged Javelin, resembling your own spear attack.
Attack ⑤:
An aerial fire column strikes forward and explodes a second time.
Attack ⑥:
Forward ice spikes travel with a similar speed and reach to the fire column.
Attack ⑦:
A wide attack first pulls you toward him without damage, then charges a large blast. Walk clear during the long wind-up.
These cover the main first-phase attacks.
30Ozma's second form: combos, slams and area blasts
Depleting the first health bar triggers the second form.
Attack ①:
Four basic attacks followed by a potent strike that can be deflected.
Attack ②:
A shockwave with a very obvious charge. Dodge at release.
Attack ③: healing crystal. Ozma summons a purple crystal in front of him and prepares to absorb it to restore health. Switch attention to the crystal and destroy it rather than attacking only the boss. The crystal emits area pulses: dodge the outward energy wave, then resume attacking it instead of committing through the pulse.
Attack ④:
Three jumping slams drop large spheres nearby. The first two are quicker; the third has a longer charge and ends in a surrounding explosion. Retreat early.
Attack ⑤:
He flies up, fires projectiles and finishes with an explosive slam. Stay clear of the landing.
Attack ⑥:
A close-range grab. Watch the charging hand.
31After the final battle: scroll reward and ending branches
Defeating the second phase grants the Lord of Chaos Scroll.
If you chose the earlier right-hand ending branch, complete a third duel as well.
The illustrated left-branch ending shows Khazan killing Ozma.

Climb the left stairs after the lower memory.
Inspect the portrait and offer a flower to reach the ending.
