The curmudgeonly astronomer plays a key role in the original Dark Crystal movie, which takes place some time after Age of Resistance. In terms of plot armour, Aughra was covered head-to-toe in the death-defying narrative device.

The Garthim’s heavy presence in the Dark Crystal movie proves it could be a potent solution to the Skeksis’ ultimate dilemma. The Scientist indicates he’s going to build a whole army of Garthim, too, which could turn the tide in any future war against the Gelfling.

Post-title card, the Scientist unveils his greatest creation: Garthim, a combination of Grunak (the race that counts the two sewn-lipped slaves who do the Scientist’s bidding throughout the series among its numbers), and the spidery Arathim.

What is the creature the Scientist has created? That is, if he’s not too busy making goo-goo eyes at both Brea and Deet. With Aughra having ‘died’ and returned (more on that below), a possible second season will likely revolve around both the Gelfling pushing back against the Skeksis and Rian’s attempts to reunite with his loved one. Did we forget about the whole dead girlfriend thing? Rian did – and the show hasn’t bothered to give us an answer… yet. Deet could still be saved, yet the future currently looks bleak for the character. As the episode title hints, though, it’s a fate that may not be set in stone. When communicating with the Sanctuary Tree for the final time, Deet sees a vision that seemingly spoils much of the future events in the series: Rian is seen plunging a shard into the Crystal of Truth and Deet herself is sitting on a new throne, completely overcome by the Darkening. The purple eyes show that it’s probably not going to get any better for the Grottan – but the secret to her fate may lie in episode eight, “Prophets Don’t Know Everything.” The purple power courses through her veins and she wanders off on her own, ignoring Rian in the process, during the episode’s closing moments. In fact, she’s been consumed by the Thra-destroying Darkening after using it to beat back the Skeksis. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance ending explained: the biggest questionsĭeet is not herself by the end of Age of Resistance. The episode wraps up with lots of celebrations and hugging, but also one more important plot point: Brea finds the lost shard of the Crystal of Truth (previously seen in Deet’s vision back in episode eight), which the Vapran princess calls “the key to ending Skeksis power and uniting the Gelfling.” Phew. Perhaps hinting at sub-plots in the second season, we also see Hup grabbing the trinket that powers the rocky Lore, while Rian goes off in search of Deet, only to find her irreparably overtaken by the Darkening after using her Sanctuary Tree magic. Using her powers gained from the Sanctuary Tree, Deet fights back, and the Skeksis scuttle away into their castle. The leader of the Skeksis is unfazed and uses his staff, containing a shard of the Crystal of Truth, to level most of Stone-in-the-Wood.

The Emperor steps in to kill off the remaining resistance but the seven clans, as well as the Arathim, band to Rian and Deet’s side. He is on the verge of murdering Rian, too, when he’s stopped in his tracks by an unseen force.Īt that moment in the Crystal Desert, the Mystic Archer – whose life-force is now tied to the Hunter after Aughra’s scheming – sacrifices himself to kill the Hunter. Meanwhile, the resurrected Hunter pushes the Gelfing back, destroys the Dual Glaive, and kills Maudra Fara. In his hour of need, he’s approached by the duplicitous Chamberlain, who kills him where he stands. Amid the chaos of the all-out war between the Gelfling and the Skeksis, the General gets wounded.
