Beyond The Grave (Anniversary Edition) - Area 25: Devil's Courtyard (100%) =============================================================
Played on "Even Death Will Bleed", hardest difficulty. This is the final showdown for Sartana. To start off, you have a room full of supplies, grab the cloak of protection and the rage artifact and then head out to quickly dispatch some enemies and then go in to the eastern part of the arena and into the supply room. You will lure quite a few enemies but then you can kill them off quickly. Be careful of the serpents guarding the supplies in the other two alcoves and quickly take them out before they do a lot of damage. There is also a secret in one of the corners leading to Django's weapon (the gatling gun) as well as machine gun ammo for it. In this first part of the level, focus on killing all the enemies first, be careful of the Arch Deacons as they have a tendency of sneaking up on you and then dealing lots of damage. Use strong weapons and demon eyes, hands to take out High Order enemies (Bishop, Arch Bishop, Cardinals). You can also use Django's weapon against them if you feel like changing things up and saving some other weapon's ammo. Once you cleared all the enemies in the arena, then open the door to find Pike Devil Eyes. My advice is to utilize the rage sphere + cloak of protection and kill all his minions (there was one pesky Baron that hid away while I was fighting Devil Eyes but I got him too after Pike is dead.) Once all of Pike's minions are dead, be sure to use strong weapons and attacks against him, it will be a long fight. He is incredibly fast and has many forms as well (similar to the previous bosses you fought). When he reaches his last form, he is incredibly dangerous, being able to use Demon Eyes, hit-scan damage (EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN EASILY KILL IF LOW ON HEALTH AND WARDS) - apparently he has some Gerra Orbs too. Once he is dead, loot his body for the Orange skull key.
Now it is time to leave the area so head back into the room where he was in and then head out that way. Before proceeding, make sure to collect the treasures in the cave (behind the pushwalls) and also in the wooded area as well (check every alcove for treasure!). Make it through the wooded area fighting Enforcers, Werewolves, and be wary of Rogues that like to hide in corners/alcoves. Then you will stumble upon a cave. There are Cardinals and Serpents as well as a Dark Hunter, dispatch them appropriately as usual. Also near the end, there are also pushwalls in the small cave that will open up a secret area containing the last few treasures (including the last 3 treasure chests). Backtrack to near the beginning of the wooded area maze and get the red skull key. Then head back to the cave with Cardinals and Serpents and enter the room with the Red Skull Key. Once you collect the 3 treasure chests you should have ALL of them and there is a nice "secret" message that comes up when you do, but Sartana wishes you, the viewer, to discover it yourself from playing the game yourself. Once you got all the treasures and secrets, go out of the cave and follow the wooded path to the end. Just be sure to kill the lonely Dark Hunter for the last enemy before finally leaving Shadow Island.

BEYOND THE GRAVE: THE END
After an intense battle with Zagan: The Antipope, Sartana discovered that Devil Eyes somehow managed to become so powerful that he seized power over the cult. The last member of the Unholy Trinity was merely a powerful guardian commanded to stop you from getting to your brother.
How Devil Eyes acquired such power was a mystery--and Sartana's purpose was an even greater mystery. Regardless, Sartana took much pride in the fact that the evil which claimed his brother's soul could not overpower him; and while Sartana felt much sorrow for slaying his brother, he knew it had to be done.
It was now time to leave the island once and for all. Sartana rows off into the gloomy sea uncertain of where he is or where to go ...
