Stepping through the portal, the player sees [[Pimiko]] severely wounded and being tended to by a panicking handmaiden. When it became clear that the Orochi was pretending to be [[Pimiko]], the monster telepathically spoke to the {{Hero 3}} and struck a bargain: keep quiet about her secret and allow her to continue gorging herself on maidens, and she will spare the lives of the {{Party 3}}. | ||

Once [[Terry]] defeats it in battle, it will go on a rampage due to its being upset about losing.

Just in time, a mysterious cloaked swordsman (who is actually [[Terry]]'s future self) arrives on the scene and finishes Orochi off, saving [[Terry]]'s life. This entire scene will only occur if [[Terry]] defeats Orochi before clearing the Gate of Reflection. | ||
