* In the first 4 games, there were terrible evils that had to be sealed, banished, or prevented from being released. Some, at great cost. In the final game, the Dragon of Doom is unleashed. It is said that someone must sacrifice their life to bind it again. The player can choose to take a stand. No more sacrifices. [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Kick the dragon's ass.]] And then do it again. And finally....the Dragon will be in so much pain from the asskickings you've given it; it will sacrifice ITSELF just to escape you.

to:

* From the first game :
** Not many since at this point the hero is still quite inexperienced and lucks out a LOT, but being able to [[StormTheCastle storm the brigand hideout]] has to count, since it means utterly owning a whole band of brigands and escaping alive.
** [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine Pulling a fast one]] on Baba Yaga and turning HER into a frog counts too.
* From the second game :
** Players aiming to become Paladins, who [[HonorBeforeReason spare]] [[TheDragon Khaveen]] and proceed to kick his ass, honorably.
** In game, defeating the Elementals counts as this, and every Katta will [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming thank you for it]].
** Defeating Ad Avis, no matter the class, is extremely satisfying.
* From the third game :
** Especially re-inforced in the AsYouKnow introduction (which retcons the ending of the second), but the fighter running through the flames to knock Ad Avis to his doom is awesome.
** The WizardDuel (only for Wizards)
** The last battle where the Hero outwits the Demon Wizard.
* From the fourth game :
** The Hero has a Determinator moment when Ad Avis gets Katrina killed, mustering his strengh to face his foe.
** Even though the hero merely gives a push in the right direction, he still helps seal an EldritchAbomination forever!
* From the fifth game :
** Going ToHellAndBack for an OrpheanRescue of either Katrina or Erana. Bonus points since WordOfGod says the Hero was so badass he [[BeyondTheImpossible saved both]].
