In the post-game, Ludo makes a surprise appearance in [[Rosehill Tower]] to warn Psaro of the impending revival of [[Estark Venjah]] in the depths of the [[The Whispwoods|the Whispwoods]] and that action must be taken before it reaches full power and runs wild. Handing over a chunk of rainbow-coloured travelite, Ludo then departs and makes his way to the ethereal forest on his own and properly joins the group. Upon the defeat of the colossal insect, Ludo tells Psaro to not kill it and instead allow it's soul to leave it's body to fleet deeper into the forest. When Rose questions him on his motives, Ludo explains that he would very much like to meet the [[Azabel]], the woman who birthed the Unholy Trinity of Estark, and that Venjah's spirit will lead him to her. Upon reaching the seal of Azabel at the center of the whispwoods, Ludo explains that it if she were to ever return she would surely birth another monster that would ravage the world. Breaking her seal with his sword, Ludo states that she must be killed to prevent another calamity from taking place—before the brothers can slay the mad [[Zenithian]], Wyrmsworth materializes and attacks the party. Upon his defeat, Wyrmsworth demands to know if Psaro has forgotten his warning of Ludo's genocidal ambition, to which the half-elf merely states that worldly obliteration is just a side effect of his plan and dispatches the dragon. Azabel awakens shortly after, leaving Psaro no choice but to engage her despite Ludo's manipulation and treachery being made apparent. | In the post-game, Ludo makes a surprise appearance in [[Rosehill Tower]] to warn Psaro of the impending revival of [[Estark Venjah]] in the depths of the [[The Whispwoods|the Whispwoods]] and that action must be taken before it reaches full power and runs wild.

Coldly remarking that, under different circumstances, he and Azabel would likely have been friends, Ludo delivers the killing blow to the fallen angel. With her death, an abundance of energy surges through the Whispwoods until an elf materializes before the group: Ludo's mother [[Elshael]]. The woman happily reunites with her son and sets about creating their vision of utopia at once, being a different dimension accessed through a stone gate in the center of the Whispwoods.

The woman happily reunites with her son and sets about creating their vision of utopia at once, being a different dimension accessed through a stone gate in the center of the Whispwoods. Explaining to Rose that she is descendant of the [[El Zetta|El Zettian elves]] as he is, he further states that among the El Zettians there was a priestess blessed with the power to create entire worlds. This priestess was none other than his mother, who was tasked by the Zenith Dragon to become the living seal binding Azabel. With Azabel's death Elshael is free to use her powers to create anew world, a paradise free of conflict and misery, with Ludo revealing that this process will erode the current world. Ludo extends his hand to offer Psaro a place in this world, ignoring Rose and Toilen, and gives him a moment to think it over. The party travels through the stone gate into the center of the new dimension Elshael created, where he conjures a vortex to teleport Rose and Toilen away. Failing to convince Psaro to join him once, more Ludo resigns himself to the fact that fraternal conflict cannot be avoided and transforms into a ghostly white version of himself with wild hair and yellow eyes. | ||
Upon being defeated for a second time, Ludo abandons his nihilistic ambition and asks his mother to halt the further development of her new dimension to spare the world. He states that while he cannot stand to remain within Terrestria any longer, there will always be a place for Psaro in his small utopia and that he is proud to call him his brother. | Upon being defeated for a second time, Ludo abandons his nihilistic ambition and asks his mother to halt the further development of her new dimension to spare the world.
