Editing Hero (Dragon Quest XI) (section)

=====Postgame=====
{{spoiler|start}}The Hero [[time travel|travels back in time]] to before the party goes up to Yggdrasil, in an attempt to save the world. He shatters the [[Sword of Light]] on the Time Sphere in the [[Tower of Lost Time]] to go back in time, but is able to keep the Sword of Shadows. At the heart of Yggdrasil, he intercepts Jasper's ambush, and is able to break down his dark magic with the Sword of Shadows. The party is able to defeat him swiftly. When Hendrik and King Carnelian catch up, the King invites the party to his castle for a celebration after revealing the traitorous Jasper and uncovering "his" wicked scheme. The Hero then takes the [[Super Sword of Light]] from the heart and the party goes to Heliodor castle, where the Hero is reunited with the people of Cobblestone who had been thrown in the dungeons.

That night, the party is invited to stay over at the castle, and the Hero gets his own room - however, in the dead of night, King Carnelian attempts to take the Super Sword of Light from him. A [[Calasmos]] strange force]] repels him, and he grunts in pain as the sword clatters to the ground. This wakes up the Hero, and the commotion also wakes up just about everyone else in the castle. The other party members (and Hendrik) burst into the room, and the King disappears in a puff of purple magic. They confront him in the Throne Room, where Mordegon finally reveals himself. When they defeat him, Mordegon notices the presence of a [[Calasmos|dark]] [[Tockle|presence]] at the Hero's feet, and comments smugly that the Hero is not the only one who has defied the flow of time, before vanishing into dust. The next day, King Carnelian - purged of the control of Mordegon, holds an award ceremony for the Luminary. However, midway through the ceremony, rumbling is heard from above, and the party rushes out to the balcony to see [[Erdwin's Lantern]] fall from the sky, marking the rebirth of [[Calasmos]]. The party then sets out on a mission to find out how to defeat him, witnessing memories of long past through [[Yggdrasil seedlings]] after some guidance from the Elder [[Eegoltap]] in [[Havens Above]], who also [[Earthsplitter|grants]] [[Blightsplitter|the]] [[Brightsplitter|Luminary]] [[Flamesplitter|various]] [[Seasplitter|new]] [[Skysplitter|-splitter]] skills. After watching three memories from the saplings, the party finds out the truth about [[Erdwin|the]] [[Serenica|Heroes]] [[Morcant|of]] [[Drustan|Legend]], namely the truth behind Erdwin's disappearance and the truth behind Mordegon's true identity. The party can then return to Havens Above to obtain the [[Wheel of Time]] and access the [[Tower of Lost Time]], where the [[Timekeeper]] will help Veronica and Serena cast a spell to re-armour Cetacea and allow her to break the dark barrier of the Dark Star where Calasmos is gathering.

If the player so chooses, the party can undergo the trials in [[Drustan's Labyrinth]], and one of the wishes the Luminary can be granted for successful completion is to "live with somebody forever and ever!". in which he can select out of the party members and also Gemma. THe Hero will then live with the selected companion in his house in Cobblestone, if it is rebuilt. If the player chooses Gemma, the Hero and Gemma are canonically married.

After defeating Calasmos, the party returns to the Tower of Lost Time, and the Hero temporarily transfers his Luminary powers to The Timekeeper, who transforms back into [[Serenica]]. He gives her the Super Sword of Light, which she uses to shatter the Time Sphere, though this time it does not break and the Hero collects it from the floor after she returns to the past. Afterwards, the Hero returns to Cobblestone for an unspecified period of time. Veronica and Serena wil then visit, and the three of them will travel back to Yggdrasil to return the Super Sword of Light back to the heart of Yggdrasil, and there they encounter the [[Yggdragon]]. She bestows upon him the title of [[Erdrick]] before the story ends.
