However, the pieces of the Ancient Sign are guarded by the Archmage's dark sorcerers and their followers, and the Archmage himself holds the last piece captive, as well as Ecstatica.

A mysterious priestess helps the hero escape and forces him to travel through the demon-infested land to find and reassemble the scattered pieces of the Ancient Sign to return the demons to their world.

Upon discovering this news, the hero and Ecstatica quickly find themselves kidnapped by the demons. This has allowed demons to traverse this world, slaughtering the inhabitants of the surrounding lands or transforming them into brutal killing machines. In his mad quest for power, the evil Archmage has shattered the Ancient Sign that governs reality. The two travel back to the hero's homeland only to discover that the forces of darkness have brought the fight home. In the original Ecstatica, the hero managed to defeat the newly unleashed Devil and his creatures in the small town of Tirich and rescue Ecstatica, the witch-in-training responsible for the whole mess.
