| | The {{nihongo|'''End of the World'''|エンド・オブ・ザ・ワールド|Endo obu za Wārudo}} is a [[World]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. It is the last new location to open in the game, upon locking [[Hollow Bastion]]. | ||

End of the World is a by-product of | Arguably the most sinister and ominous area in the series, End of the World is a by-product of the [[Heartless]]' destructive nature. Although End of the World is the last world, the Heartless are not very numerous as compared to [[Hollow Bastion]] but they are very powerful. Upon taking a world's heart, a tiny fragment of what is left of that world is sent drifting through the void of space until it eventually meets and merges with End of the World. It is, in essence, a [[Heartless]] of the destroyed worlds, as well as the location of [[Kingdom Hearts (Combined Heart)|Kingdom Hearts]] for worlds' hearts. In nature, it can be seen as the opposite of [[The World That Never Was]], which is a similar artificial "[[Nobody]]" world without its own heart. | ||
The theme music for End of the World is "End of the World" and the battle theme is "Fragments of Sorrow". Both are arrangements of different segments of "Dive Into the Heart ([[Destati]])", the music used during the [[Awakening]]. | |||
End of the World | |||
==Setting== | |||
End of the World opens on the '''Gate to the Dark''', a sea of darkness in the process of collapsing. Along the snowy fragments of landscape are a few battles against [[Behemoth|Behemoths]] (turned into [[Arch Behemoth|Arch Behemoths]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'') and other high-level [[Heartless]]. Following the empty void is a colorful, quiet canyon that is called the '''Giant Crevasse''' that spans several levels connected by green web-like formations. At the bottom of the canyon is a passage to the fragmented '''[[World Terminus]]''', which in turns leads to the '''Evil Grounds''' and a boss battle with [[Chernabog]]. | |||
After defeating Chernabog, the top of Bald Mountain opens, allowing [[Sora]] and his party to descend through the '''Volcanic Crater'''. This leads to the bottom of the mountain, where a hard and well-fought journey through the '''Linked Worlds''' room leads to the '''Final Rest''', where the final save point of the game is, as well as [[The Door]], first seen in the [[Awakening]], that leads to the final confrontations of the game. It should be noted that [[Atlantica]], [[Olympus Coliseum]] or even [[Monstro]] doesn't have to be completed in order to access this world. | |||
===Evil Grounds=== | |||
Also known as '''Bald Mountain''' because of the background music while fighting Chernabog is called "Night on Bald Mountain". You can fly in this area and you can drop into the crater to proceed. Once you enter the crater at the bottom there will be an entrance to a tunnel that leads to the cave of [[Final Rest]] where the [[Door to Darkness]] is located. On the way through the tunnel, remnants from different worlds can be seen attached to the walls such as, trees and small towers from ''Sleeping Beauty'', the horrific trees and the front door of the Dwarfs' house from ''Snow White'', stone tapestries from ''Cinderella'', and [[Beast's Castle]] is seen in a small sphere attached to the wall. Though Bald Mountain appeared in Fantasia and Chernabog was a resident of it, it is unknown what role it really plays for the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series besides leading to the Final Rest. | |||

After sealing the [[Final Keyhole]] at [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive at the End of the World.

Goofy takes note of its composite-world nature, and Sora states that all of the worlds would be restored if they managed to defeat [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]], but wonders what would happen to the world itself and them by extension. Goofy says that, as a "Heartless world", it would just disappear, but assures them that, even if that did happen, they would not meet the same fate. Sora takes out [[Kairi]]'s [[Lucky Charm|lucky charm]], and remembers his promise to return it. | ||

Afterwards, they descend into the crater of Bald Mountain and press onwards. Eventually, they come to the remnants of Sora's homeworld, the [[Destiny Islands]], which soon takes on a much darker appearance. | ||
Ansem appears in the form of [[Riku]], and states that Riku was desperate to escape the islands by any cost, and then takes on his own form. Sora calls out to Riku, but Ansem informs him that any effort to reach him is futile. The villain goes on to explain that all worlds and [[heart]]s begin and end in [[darkness]]; thus, darkness is the true essence of a heart. Sora denies this, stating that, while hearts may be weak and sometimes even give in, deep down, there is a [[light]] that never goes out. Unimpressed, Ansem says, "So you've come this far, and still you understand nothing" (mirroring his words to Sora at the beginning of the game), and engages in battle with the trio. | Ansem appears in the form of [[Riku]], and states that Riku was desperate to escape the islands by any cost, and then takes on his own form.

Sora comes out victorious, and then the mountains of the islands split open. Ansem escapes into the opening with Sora, Donald, and Goofy in hot pursuit, but only Sora is able to get past a preset barrier. After defeating another [[Darkside]] and Ansem, the latter uses his power to send himself and his foes to a dark void. | Sora comes out victorious, and then the mountains of the islands split open.

Sora begins to fall into the void, but the encouragement of Riku gives him the strength to fight back. Sora rescues Donald and Goofy, and the trio destroy the World of Chaos. | ||
Badly injured, Ansem opens the [[Door to Darkness]], informs Sora that not even the [[Keyblade]] can seal the door, and pines for [[Kingdom Hearts]] to fill him with the power of darkness.

==Trivia== | |||
*If you look at the wall in the second part of the path to the Linked Worlds section, you can see what looks like part of the forest in [[Enchanted Dominion]], as well as pieces of what looks to be [[Castle of Dreams]] and [[Dwarf Woodland]]. | |||
*Coinciding with the End of the World being the opposite of the World That Never Was, the End of the World seems more naturistic whilst the World That Never Was seems more industrial. This could coincide with the fact that Nobodies, as opposed to Heartless, rely on intelligence rather than instinct whilst Heartless are vice versa. | |||
*The End of the World is one of five worlds in ''Kingdom Hearts'' not based on a Disney movie, the others being [[Destiny Islands]], [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Traverse Town]] and [[Disney Castle]] (the latter was Disney themed but not based on a specific movie). | |||
*In the Green Room in the [[Traverse Town]] hotel, you can see a painting called ''Bald Mountain: 7:00 A.M.'' - this is a likely reference to Evil Grounds in the End of the World. | |||
*If you wish to get out of Evil Grounds, you need to fly up until you reach the [[World Terminus]] | |||
