After numerous confrontations with Wilfre, he finally tricks The Mayor into appearing alone, and kills him. Mari and the villagers are devastated, but after seeing the village descend into chaos, decide to band together and stop Wilfre for good. The Hero defeats Wilfre, and returns to the Village. Jowee plans to leave on a treasure hunt, and after saying goodbye, Mari reminisces about the past, upset about losing her dad and best friend.

Reception of the iOS release was far less frequent, however the consensus towards this port was much more negative, with the few outlets who published reviews referring to it as a poor transition. Much criticism geared towards the port's poor optimization, particularly the control scheme and music and sound effects being mismatched. Metacritic's aggregated scores for this version resulted in a much lower 53/100 based on just four reviews, still labelled "Mixed or Average", with the critical inverse of no positive reviews.
