End of the World opens on the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gate to the Dark}}'''|闇への入口|Yami e no Iriguchi|lit. "Entrance to the Darkness"}}, a cave leading into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Dimension}}'''|果ての魔空|Hate no Masora|lit. "Final Abyss"}}, which appears to the eye as an empty field of darkness dotted by snowy fragments of land, and showered by infrequent dark orbs being drawn deeper into the world. However, being sucked into one of those orbs reveals the true shape of the area, a snowy wasteland with plentiful outcroppings of crystals, and swarming with powerful Heartless. A vortex at the end of the area leads to a colorful, quiet canyon with Gummi Blocks scattered all over the place, called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Giant Crevasse}}'''|巨大クレバス|Kyodai Kurebasu}}, which spans several levels, connected by green web-like formations. At the bottom of the canyon is a passage to the fragmented {{nihongo|'''[[World Terminus]]'''|世界の牢獄|Sekai no Rōgoku|lit.

After defeating Chernabog, the top of Bald Mountain opens, allowing [[Sora]] and his party to fly through the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crater}}'''|火口|Kakō}}. The Crater runs into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Volcanic Crater}}'''|噴火口|Funkakō|lit. "Erupting Crater"}}, with entrances to it at the top and bottom of the crater. The Volcanic Crater is a tunnel that extends through four rooms, and contains remnants from worlds that have fallen into darkness - for example, trees and small towers from [[Enchanted Dominion]], the demonic trees and the front door of the Dwarfs' house from [[Dwarf Woodlands]], stone tapestries from [[Castle of Dreams]], and a small glass sphere from [[Beast's Castle]]. | [[File:Evil Grounds (Art).png|thumb|left|Bald Mountain.]] | ||
At the end of the World Terminus is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Evil Grounds}}'''|魔人の地|Majin no Ji|lit. "Land of the Demoniac"}} and a boss battle with [[Chernabog]]. Within the Evil Grounds, Sora has free flight, and must fly up to reach the World Terminus.

At the bottom of the mountain is a glowing chamber called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Linked Worlds}}'''|交じり合う世界|Majiriau Sekai}}, in which Sora and his friends are forced to fight a swarm of Heartless, beginning with a battle against a [[Behemoth]], in order to break open the path to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Final Rest}}'''|最後の休息|Saigo no Kyūsoku}}.

After sealing the [[Final Keyhole]] at [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive at the End of the World. Goofy takes note of its composite-world nature, and Sora states that all of the worlds would be restored if they managed to defeat [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], but wonders what would happen to the world itself and them by extension. Goofy says that, as a "Heartless world", it would just disappear, but assures them that, even if that did happen, they would not meet the same fate. Sora takes out [[Kairi]]'s [[Wayfinder|lucky charm]], and remembers his promise to return it. | After sealing the [[Final Keyhole]] at [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive at the End of the World.

Ansem appears in the form of [[Riku]], and states that Riku was desperate to escape the islands by any cost, and then takes on his own form. Sora calls out to Riku, but Ansem informs him that any effort to reach him is futile. The villain goes on to explain that all worlds and [[heart]]s begin and end in [[darkness]]; thus, darkness is the true essence of a heart. Sora denies this, stating that, while hearts may be weak and sometimes even give in, deep down, there is a [[light]] that never goes out. Unimpressed, Ansem says, "So you've come this far, and still you understand nothing" (mirroring his words to Sora at the beginning of the game), and engages in battle with the trio. | Ansem appears in the form of [[Riku]], and states that Riku was desperate to escape the islands by any cost, and then takes on his own form.

Sora comes out victorious, and then the mountains of the islands split open. Ansem escapes into the opening with Sora, Donald, and Goofy in hot pursuit, but only Sora is able to get past a preset barrier. After defeating another [[Darkside]] and Ansem, the latter uses his power to send himself and his foes to a dark void. | Sora comes out victorious, and then the mountains of the islands split open.
