 * Act 6
 * Act 7
 * Act 8
 * Act 9

Plot summary
After failing to stop the reawakening of Kitava, his hunger threatens to consume the whole of Oriath and Wraeclast. Sin has a plan to deal with the god, but he requires the souls of Shavronne, Maligaro, and Doedre, which will enable him to collect the Dark Ember from the Beast. These souls happen to be convenient returns to past glories, being located in the same regions as the bosses in part one. Finally, upon collecting the Ember, the exile returns to Oriath for a final showdown against Kitava.

In addition to Kitava, the death of the Beast has awakened many other gods in the world. In Acts 6-8 these gods wreak havoc over Wraeclast, and eliminating them supplements the tasks from Sin regarding the thaumaturgists' souls. These tasks often bring the exile back in contact with familiar NPCs from the earlier regions, such as Nessa, Greust, and Silk. As a reward for doing so, Sin is also capable of infusing the exile with a portion of the defeated gods' powers.

The six Trials of Ascendancy formerly located in Cruel and Merciless difficulties are located in Acts 6-7 as well as Acts 8-10 respectively.
