When You arrive inside the palace, You follow Aisa's lead and wind through the castle's hallways toward your destination of the throne room. The palace is oddly spotless, almost as if barely anyone has even set foot inside since Argades' death.

Seraphine: It's unsettling, isn't it? I would have thought that Samiya would want to break the place in as her own, but as long as we were coming for her, I guess she realized she didn't have that option.

You nod but decide to press on regardless. You eventually arrive outside the imposing doors leading to the throne room, and You turn to Aisa, Roy, and Cordelia with a frown on your face.

Cordelia: She's going to be on the other side of these doors... Is everyone ready for the fight to come?

Roy: This is what we've been waiting for all this time. I don't think I've ever been more ready and more terrified of something simultaneously.

Aisa: This fight will not be easily won, but after everything we have done, we must give it our all until Samiya falls.

Cordelia: Then let's get in there and show her what we're made of once and for all. Never again will she bring such pain to the land of Fódlan!

You and the other members of the church push forward, and the doors open before You. Inside, You see Samiya on the other end of the throne room sitting on the throne. She wears a twisted smile, and she stands at the sight of You and your allies.

Samiya: I see that you have finally arrived... Good. I have been looking forward to this battle for quite some time.

Roy: You shouldn't have gotten too excited about it. We're not going to let you win this war after everything you've done.

Samiya: You will not need to 'let' me win anything. I am not afraid to seize victory as ruthlessly as I must, and soon enough, you will understand as much.

Cordelia: If you won't surrender, then your fate is already sealed. We won't hold back, and I know you won't either.

Samiya: You do not understand what you are doing. You are dooming Fódlan by continuing to side with someone who has brought this land to ruin.

Roy: And you believe that you would be able to save it from us? You think that you would be able to change this continent for the better?

Samiya: I know more of what is best for this land than you ever could. You refuse to see it since you have so much belief in your twisted sense of righteousness. What this continent needs is someone who understands it, and I have always comprehended Fódlan more than you ever could.

Cordelia: If this is the choice you wish to make, then so be it. I hope you're ready for the fight of your life, because this is going to be the last day you draw breath!

Aisa: I am sorry that it had to end this way, Samiya... But know that I will do everything I must to bring this to an end here and now.

Samiya: I invite you to try. You could not defeat my side of the war a thousand years ago, and you will not be able to defeat me today either. Make peace with death, Atropos... I think it is high time you finally met the goddess to pay for your sins!

You and the rest of your forces sink into combative positions in preparation for the battle ahead. Samiya and her forces are scattered throughout the throne room with the leader of the enemy army sitting on the throne herself. Everything about her expression is dark, and You can tell that this battle will be much harder than every previous encounter with Samiya has been. You refuse to allow her newfound determination to stop You though, and You brace yourself for a difficult battle.
