Location from Kingdom Hearts by Tetsuya Nomura / Square Enix & Disney
A patchwork world made from fragments of worlds consumed by darkness — the Heartless equivalent of The World That Never Was, and the path to Kingdom Hearts itself.
The End of the World is what happens when worlds die. Each fragment of land is a remnant of a world whose heart was consumed by the Heartless — scraps of geography drifting through the void until they merge into this artificial patchwork. It is the Heartless' home — their instinct made manifest as a world. Sora's journey through the End of the World in Kingdom Hearts is the series' first true descent into the abyss. The remnants of familiar worlds scroll by in the World Terminus. Chernabog rises from Bald Mountain in a spectacular boss battle. And at the very end, behind a simple door, lies the path to Kingdom Hearts itself. The final confrontation with Ansem, Seeker of Darkness takes place on a corrupted version of Destiny Islands — Sora's own home twisted into a battlefield. When the Door to Darkness opens and Sora expects to find oblivion, he instead finds light — the ultimate refutation of Ansem's philosophy of darkness.
A surreal landscape of floating fragments from destroyed worlds — snowy paths, colorful canyons, green web-like formations, and volcanic craters. The sky is cosmic void streaked with color. At its deepest point lies the Door to Darkness. A giant volcanic mountain hosts a battle against Chernabog. The final area resembles a twisted version of Destiny Islands.
