After completing The Three Keys main quest, head to the Umayabashi leyline then follow the bridge south to reach Honjo. Once in Honjo, follow the path to the objective to trigger a cutscene. Use the glowing object to move to the Temple of Eternity!

Make your way through the temple to reach 4F. A cutscene will trigger followed by a boss fight with a Level 78 Metatron. He has no weaknesses, resists Fire, Ice, Electric and Force and blocks Light. Defeat him to receive a Large Glory Crystal and his essence! He will also unlock for fusion.
Continuing through the doors behind Metatron starts the path to the end of the game. Make another save before proceeding through these doors if you’d like to try alternate endings. Once you go through the doors, a cutscene will trigger where you’ll finally make the big choice on who to side with.
In Empyrean, you can find the following chests:

- Grimoire x3
- Vishnu’s Essence x1
- Bead Chain

- Attack Mirror x1
- Beelzebub’s Essence x1
- Balm of Life
If you did all of Demeter’s subquests, you’ll be able to speak with her to obtain “A Plot Revealed”. For this subquest, you’ll fight a Level 86 Zeus. He is weak to Force and blocks Electric, Light and Dark. He uses Electric, Physical and Almighty skills. After you defeat him, you’ll unlock Zeus as a fusion, receive Demeter’s Essence x1 and Demeter will join your party.
After pressing forward past Demeter, a battle will trigger with 3 Level 79 Melchizedek. They are weak to Force, block Dark and drain Light. Continue along the path to be stopped by yet another demon. This time you’ll be challenged by Level 80 Sraosha. Sraosha is weak to Force, resists Electric and drains Light.
Along the path, speak to Maria to receive The Noble Queen subquest. You’ll only be able to obtain this quest if you have the Seed of Life, which you obtain from Sophia in the World of Shadows after fusing 75% of the demons. Accepting her quest will trigger a fight with a Level 81 Danu. She is weak to Dark, blocks Light and resists Electric, Force, Ice and Fire. She uses Light, Physical and Almighty attacks. She can heal and put your party to sleep. During the fight, she’ll summon Level 78 Mandrakes into the fight. They are weak to Fire. Defeat them to complete the subquest. As a reward, you’ll receive 150,000 Macca and Lady Danu will unlock for fusion.
As you approach the second leyline (Path to the Throne), a fight with a Level 81 Alilat will trigger. It resists Light and Dark. After the leyline, head up the stairs to trigger a cutscene followed by a boss fight based on your decision. For us it was a Level 83 Abdiel. She is weak to Ice, drains Electric and blocks Dark. Halfway through the fight, she’ll summon a Depraved Wing and Depraved Arm. The Depraved Wing casts a reflect all magic on Abdiel while the Depraved Arm increases her accuracy and evasion. The wing is weak to electric and the arms is weak to light. Defeat the boss to continue the cutscene.
Afterwards, follow the path forward to trigger another boss fight. For us it was against a Level 83 Tsukuyomi. He is weak to Fire, drains Ice and resists Electric. During battle, he’ll create copies of himself. Defeat him to continue the cutscene.
Congratulations! You’ve finished the game.
