Patrick Galloway is taken away in a boat by Otto Keisinger who mysteriously survived their battle in Oneiros. Keisinger stole Patrick's Gel'ziabar stone and left Patrick at the shore. How he survived and why he rescued Patrick is not detailed, but the game revealed that Keisinger desired the Gel'ziabar stone and that's why he took it. The ending is a bit of cliff-hanger and there were talks of sequels but the game did not sell to expectations and the plans for a sequel were scrapped. |

The robed figure could be Charon, the ferryman of the dead in Greek mythology. Charon (or Kharon) carried newly deceased souls across the river Styx in the underworld. This fits with the robed figure and the boat and all the occult themed things in the game. This may be the wrong answer though but at least it's an interpretation. Source: Charon (Wikipedia) |
