When Gabriel and Theresa reach the Spire, Theresa claims she has finally found a way to defeat the Corruptor. She orders Gabriel to shine the light "through" her. Theresa stands on the central pedestal in the spire's main chamber, and Gabriel lights the four crystals surrounding her. With Theresa imbued with light, she rises in the air, and the corrupter's harbingers begin to invade the spire. Gabriel protects Theresa while she continues to rise. Once completed, Theresa makes a wish and states that her time in this world is over and that a new age is upon us. She then gives the heart of the Spire to Gabriel and vanishes. Gabriel absorbs Theresa's powers into the gauntlets and defeats the Corruptor. Gabriel then finds Theresa's blindfold in the sand, revealing Gabriel himself to now be blind.
