The Tower of Druaga

Into the Phantasm (2x4)

:

Jil's party reaches the point where they fought Druaga last time and find they have to fight Druaga, though a weakened version, again. When Jil is hit by a beam from Druaga, he loses consciousness and awakens in a world where Ki begins to explain her history. Though Ki had been tasked to help him to the top of the tower, but neither she nor Kaaya had wished to half a year ago. Ki reveals that Gilgamesh has been cursed with immortality by Druaga and exists as two entities: the tired old king in Meskia and another at the top of the Mythical Tower. To prevent him from becoming a tyrant, Kaaya and Neeba seek to kill Gilgamesh, but must kill the entity at the top of the tower to do so. When Jil regains consciousness just as Druaga is defeated and obtains the key to the second half of the Tower, Henaro and Ki are taken hostage by a woman named Gremica, who heads up the Tower with her party. Despite Ki's warning that there is not return from this point, Jil, Fatina, and Utu advance, unaware that Uragon, Melt, Coopa, and the Golden Knights are still following them.
