Ending discussion *SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY*

[Shovel]

So following the 3 endings.

1. Normal ending he stabs Ozma with the Transcendental Sword, passes out and appears in his Quarters. Khazan now reflecting upon the events leading up to the final battle and ends the game with the line "I once thought I had lost everything, but I was wrong, as I still has my revenge." Any DNF lore enthusiasts able to explain this one better?

2. Normal ending "extended?" where Phantom stops him with the chains granted to him once again and then Khazan stabs him with the "true?" Transcendental Sword. Reverting Ozma back to "normal" and he apologizes for his actions.

3. True ending where Phantom stops him with the chains granted to him once again and then Khazan stabs him with the "true?" Transcendental Sword. Reverting Ozma back to "normal" and he apologizes for his actions then reverts back to Chaos(Hilder?) after his tear shed onto the blades eye. What catches my eye is that in this ending and the other "normal extended" ending, Khazan calls out to Phantom before passing out?

From my understanding of DNF lore. In the true ending, the symbol of eye that's found in Ozma's diary in the epilogue after the final battle. It is Keening Hilder's Mark.
An evil goddess and manipulator.

The prophet who appeared before the emperor was none other than her disguise?

She even disguised herself as Ozma and manipulated the emperor into turning the khazan as a traitor.

In the end, Hilder manipulated the fates of them(Emperor, Khazan, and Ozma)
Khazan, Ozma, and Reese's tragedy began with her.
Goddess Hilda being the real mastermind behind the whole plot.

Perhaps DLC later down the line to flesh out this in Khazan's story here.

I didn't understand something, in the True ending it was visible how Hazan left the arena of the final boss exhausted and couldn't hold his hands properly due to severed tendons, and the main character himself began to summon a ghost to appear, that is, to confirm that the Ghost was no longer with him. Then how does Hazan talk to the ghost about his next revenge in the next video? Difficult.

The phantom is still there and still bound to Khazan, as he is in the mortal world. He was just applying the chains to Ozma and doing Charon's bidding as the castle collapsed. Khazan simply stumbled away with no energy and his previous injuries that the Phantom was preventing, made him succumb to it. Later, after the phantom did come back (We can presume.) he went to where Ozma spent most of his time and the ending took place.

Interesting! I know nothing about Dungeon fighter lore outside of this game and the DNF Duel fighting game but you might be on to something.

I would love a expansion or DLC that continues the story of Khazans path of vengeance to find out the true source of the prophecy that led to all of the events of the main game.
