Prophet vs. Carnax
At about 50% HP depletion, the following cutscene was released.


 * MegaPrime: Halt your thunderous movement and turn your fetid breath away from me, foul beast! NOW you shall feel the power of a level 110 warrior as I smite you into oblivion!!


 * Carnax squishes MegaPrime.


 * «You»: Ouch! I guess MegaPrime will need to go see Twilly. Once he makes his way back here from the other side of the planet, that is...
 * Jackel Sano: This battle is not going so well! More and more of us are dying, and for some reason Carnax has an innate ability to repel our most powerful spells!
 * Jackel Sano: Yet we are still able to chip away at him with less powerful attacks. If we do not defeat him soon, he will reach other towns and trample them into nothingness!
 * «You»: Riona Shadowgale- the Prophet! What are you doing here-- with your son??
 * Riona: My son needs to be here in order for my plan to work...
 * «You»: What plan?
 * Riona: You shall see. Wizard, I will need your help.
 * Jackel Sano: I will do as you ask, Prophet. But you should know that nothing we have thrown at the great beast so far has done more than scratch him.
 * Riona: Danail, please wait with one of these heroes. I must go now.
 * Danail: Yes Mommy... I'll wait for you!
 * Jackel Sano: Just what is it you had in mind, dear Shadowgale?
 * You: I'm with you, Blackhawke... time to take a little rest before jumping back into battle!
 * Blackhawke: Hehehe. Rest?? Watching a child is just about the farthest you can get from rest.
 * Riona: The blindfold is need to help me focus. You see, I have realized that there is a psychic link between my son and Carnax.


 * Riona puts a blindfold on.


 * Riona: This is the beast's greatest weakness. To sever the link, I must reach back, far back, into the very soul of my lost homeland.
 * Riona: I will use the special bond that exists between a mother and child as my anchor as I build this focus, then use it to RIP Carnax out of my son's soul!
 * Jackel Sano: ........
 * Jackel Sano: Very well. If nothing else, that is one thing we haven't tried against this brute yet.
 * «You»: It looks like this is it-- Riona is about to do whatever it is she's planning. Maybe the child shouldn't watch--
 * Danail: No, I want to see my Mommy!
 * Blackhawke: You heard the boy.
 * Riona: NOW, wizard!


 * Jackel creates an ice bridge and dodges a shot from Carnax.


 * Jackel Sano: Good luck, Prophet!
 * Riona: That wasn't very nice...
 * Riona: The power within the Azru Stones builds... the time to strike is now!


 * With the power of the Azru Stones. Riona charges at Carnax dodging shots and then attempts to counter a laser with her power. Carnax loses about 20% of his HP and Riona dies.


 * «You»: Oh no... Riona....
 * Jackel Sano: She has died. A side effect of her actions, it seems.
 * «You»: Many of us manage to cheat Death, but Riona was one of the souls that Death was looking to collect.
 * Danail: Where is my Mommy, Mr. Hawke?
 * Blackhawke: Sh-- she is, uh-- she had to go away for awhile. (I think I'm going to need a little help with this one...)
 * Jackel Sano: Shadowgale has done what she intended. Her son is freed from his bond with Carnax, and the beast is weakened. And so there is only one thing left for us to do--
 * AVENGE RIONA and DEFEAT CARNAX!

Carnax is dead!
Carnax collapses violently.

CARNAX: I've failed you, my Master...death has come, my nightmare ends. CARNAX: I can rest, finally...rest...you can't reach me now. CARNAX: ........ CARNAX: ...I AM FREE...

Carnax's eyes close and he turns to stone.

'''The Great Scourge of Carnax is now defeated, and the beast's massive body has become entombed in a cocoon of rock. Stonerule can now be rebuilt.'''
