The {{Party 11}} eventually arrives at the heart of Yggdrasil]], which contains the [[Erdwin's Equipment#Sword of Light|Sword of Light]], the {{Luminary}}'s destined weapon. However, just as the Luminary is about to take it, he and the {{Party 11}} are intercepted by Carnelian and his retainers [[Jasper]] and [[Hendrik]]. It is revealed that Carnelian was possessed by an evil sorcerer known as Mordegon and that Jasper is [[Mordegon]]'s agent. The two subdue Hendrik and the Luminary's {{Party 11}}, with Mordegon taking the Sword of Light and absorbing the heart of Yggdrasil, destroying the tree and plunging the world into an age of darkness. The Luminary returns to Cobblestone, separated from the others, turned into a fortified refuge for Heliodor citizens led by Carnelian and Hendrik. They apologize to the Luminary for all the troubles they caused him. Hendrik joins forces with the Luminary, and together they reclaim Heliodor from Mordegon's forces. After reuniting with the rest of the {{Party 11}}, except for Veronica, who perished saving the others during the fall of Yggdrasil, the Luminary obtains the means to forge a new Sword of Light, which they use to defeat Jasper and Mordegon, which restores Yggdrasil and the world.

Afterward, the {{Party 11}} discovers the means to bring Veronica back within the [[Tower of Lost Time]]. There they meet the Timekeeper, who gives the Luminary the power to go back in time and defeats Mordegon before he can steal the Sword of Light and Yggdrasil's heart, thus saving Veronica from sacrificing herself. However, due to Mordegon's absence, a dark spirit is able to summon forth a mysterious orb called Erdwin's Lantern and merge with it, thus awakening the game's true antagonist, The Dark One, [[Calasmos]], who was previously destroyed in the timeline of Mordegon's rule. The {{Party 11}} learns that a prior Luminary named Erdwin was betrayed and killed by his mage companion Morcant, who absorbed Calasmos's powers and transformed into Mordegon. Since he could not be destroyed forever without the power of the Luminary, Serenica, Erdwin's former sage companion and lover, then sealed the weakened Calasmos within Erdwin's Lantern and attempted to return to the past at the Tower of Lost Time, but was turned into the Timekeeper instead. The {{Party 11}} then confronts and destroys Calasmos before the Luminary entrusts his mark to [[Serenica]], who reverts to her original form and uses it to return to the past and reunite with Erdwin. Accompanied by Veronica and Serena, he also returns the Sword of Light to Yggdrasil, who reveals itself to be Yggdragon, an ancient dragon of light defeated by Calasmos ages ago, whose body transformed into the tree Yggdrasil and gave life to Erdrea. Yggdragon bestows upon the Luminary the title of "Erdrick," the mightiest of all heroes, and keeps the Sword for the day when a new hero will need it to defend Erdrea from evil. In the mid-credits, Serenica reunites with Erdwin in the past, while after the credits, a young [[Hero's Mother (Dragon Quest III)|mother]], after reading the {{Luminary}}'s story in a book, wakes up her [[Hero (Dragon Quest III) |child]] from the bed, setting up the beginning of {{Dragon Quest III}}.
