"This is it. The beginning of the blasted end."
―Abnur Tharn[src]

United as the Five Companions with Lyris Titanborn, Abnur Tharn, The Prophet and Sai Sahan, the Soulless One is able to take back their soul from Molag Bal.

Walkthrough[]

The Soulless One must fight their way past Daedra until they confront Molag Bal at his throne. Then, they can use the Sacrifice of Courage to begin to fight directly with Molag Bal. After a long battle, Molag Bal is weakened and falls to his knees, and the Soulless One uses the power of Akatosh to cut him in half. After he is cut in half, Molag Bal is defeated and returns to his own realm.

The Soulless One is then transported to the Colored Rooms by Meridia where she stored his soul when Molag Bal was defeated. Here, the Soulless One reclaims their soul. Meridia and Molag Bal appear. After Meridia banishes Molag Bal from her realm, she tells the Soulless One that Molag Bal has been severely weakened, and it will take him a long time to gather his strength. Abnur Tharn fled with the Amulet of Kings back to Cyrodiil, but he is unable to use it. The tear in the veil between Oblivion and Nirn has been repaired. The sacrificed member of the Companions becomes part of the Soulless One, and the Soulless One is able to travel to other alliances. After then, the Vestige can then do side quests and/or continue exploring and leveling up.
