Editing End of the World

{{game|KH1|FM1|REC|KH2|FM2}}

{{expand|add Final Door (room where Ansem opens Door to Darkness)}}

The '''End of the World''' is a [[world]] from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It is the last new location to open in the game, upon locking [[Hollow Bastion]].

End of the World is a by-product of all [[Heartless]]'s 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]] 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 [[Dive to the Heart]].

End of the World opens on the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gate to the Dark}}'''|闇への入口|Yami e no Iriguchi|lit. "Entrance to the Darkness"}}, a cave leading into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Dimension}}'''|果ての魔空|Hate no Masora|lit. "Final Abyss"}}, which appears to the eye as an empty field of darkness dotted by snowy fragments of land, and showered by infrequent dark orbs being drawn deeper into the world. However, being sucked into one of those orbs reveals the true shape of the area, a snowy wasteland with plentiful outcroppings of crystals, and swarming with powerful Heartless. A vortex at the end of the area leads to a colorful, quiet canyon with Gummi Blocks scattered all over the place, called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Giant Crevasse}}'''|巨大クレバス|Kyodai Kurebasu}}, which spans several levels, connected by green web-like formations. At the bottom of the canyon is a passage to the fragmented {{nihongo|'''[[World Terminus]]'''|世界の牢獄|Sekai no Rōgoku|lit. "Prison of Worlds"}}.

At the end of the World Terminus is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Evil Grounds}}'''|魔人の地|Majin no Ji|lit. "Land of the Demoniac"}} and a boss battle with [[Chernabog]]. Within the Evil Grounds, Sora has free flight, and must fly up to reach the World Terminus. After defeating Chernabog, the top of Bald Mountain opens, allowing [[Sora]] and his party to fly through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crater}}'''|火口|Kakō}}. The Crater runs into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Volcanic Crater}}'''|噴火口|Funkakō|lit. "Erupting Crater"}}, with entrances to it at the top and bottom of the crater. The Volcanic Crater is a tunnel that extends through four rooms, and contains remnants from worlds that have fallen into darkness - for example, trees and small towers from [[Enchanted Dominion]], the demonic trees and the front door of the Dwarfs' house from [[Dwarf Woodlands]], stone tapestries from [[Castle of Dreams]], and a small glass sphere from [[Beast's Castle]].

[[File:Final Rest (Art).png|thumb|right|The Final Rest area.]]

At the bottom of the mountain is a glowing chamber called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Linked Worlds}}'''|交じり合う世界|Majiriau Sekai}}, in which Sora and his friends are forced to fight a swarm of Heartless, beginning with a battle against a [[Behemoth]], in order to break open the path to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Rest}}'''|最後の休息|Saigo no Kyūsoku}}. This room is the location of the final save point of the game, as well as the door which first appeared in the [[Awakening]] and led to a strange version of Destiny Islands. Just as before, this door leads to the remnants of Destiny Islands, in a room named only {{nihongo|'''{{a|Homecoming}}'''|想い出の島|Omoide no Shima|lit. "Island of Memories"}}. The final boss, [[World of Chaos]], even includes small '''[[Portal of Darkness|Portals of Darkness]]''' as rooms within itself.<!--add info on room where Ansem finds the Door to Darkness: {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Door}}'''|最後の扉|Saigo no Tobira}}

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', Riku's final battle against Ansem takes place in a location that resembles that of the Door to Darkness.-->
