Kingdom Hearts 3 is a huge game with more than 30 hours of content to plow through before the plot comes to an end. Once you complete the main story, there's still plenty of game left. There's secret marks to photograph, quests to complete and a new battlegate prompt appearing all over the world.

Everything past this point is spoilers, so if you haven't completed Kingdom Hearts 3 and don't want to have the game completely ruined for you, turn back now.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Epilogue Explained

Once you beat the main story, defeat Xehanort and his army of Organization members, you'll be able to see a three-minute clip that brings up more questions than answers. Throughout the game Pete and Maleficent followed your path looking for a "box," though they couldn't tell you what it is. We know that the "Black Box" belonged to the Master of Masters and that it contains an extremely powerful secret. With his Book of Prophecies, he knows the future and has been preparing for the inevitable third Keyblade War.

The box was given to Luxu, one of the Master's anonymous disciples. The epilogue reveals that Luxu was actually Xigbar, who had to ditch his original body after years of waiting. With the Master's "Gazing Eye" keyblade, he calls the four disciples of the Master to him in the Keyblade Graveyard to announce that he's "completed his mission."

It ends with young Xehanort and Eraqus playing with their chess set and showing off a new game with "seven black pieces" all themed after the different factions of Keyblade warrior. We still don't know what happened to Kairi or what the other Keyblade warriors are doing, which sets up more games in the franchise. Kingdom Hearts 3 is not the last game in the series.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Unlock Secret Ending

The secret ending to Kingdom Hearts 3 won't be released until January 31. The game's co-director, Tetsuya Nomura, told Famitsu that the secret ending will be unlocked by players taking pictures of Lucky Marks. Depending on what difficulty they pick determines how many marks are needed before the secret ending will be unlocked in the home screen cinematic archive. If you choose Beginner, you'll need all 90 Lucky Marks before seeing the secret ending. This is easier than in past games where you needed to complete the game to 100 percent, though these Lucky Marks can be difficult to find.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Battlegate

Once you defeat Xehanort for the final time and everything goes back to the way it was, you'll get knocked back to the beginning of the fight. Now, you can head to other worlds and fight bosses for special items. These gates are usually where previous boss fights across all the worlds.

Dark Inferno- Battlegate 14 is in the Keyblade Graveyard and is one of the toughest fights in the whole game. Dark Inferno is a heartless with glowing red feet and a collection of every magic spell in the game. His reach is huge and is damage is ridiculous. If you thought the Xehanort fight was hard, then you're in for a world of trouble. This fight should only be undertaken by those that have mastered the game's controls and are ready to lose a lot.

If any more Battlegate fights get released, this story will be updated.
