After giving him an impromptu burial, Phil is suddenly dragged away by an unseen creature. Despite realizing the creature's been stalking them the entire time, Luke and Dom have little choice but make a run for it, the creature giving chase. They find a path lined with torches leading to a small settlement and rush into a cottage to hide. While barricading themselves inside, they're knocked unconscious by someone within. When they awake, they find themselves restrained in a cellar. An elderly woman enters and inspects Luke's puncture marks, revealing she bears a similar marking. On her way out, she orders two men to take Dom upstairs. A younger woman enters and explains that preparations are being made for a sacrifice. Sometime later, a beaten Dom is returned to the basement. He tells Luke that he is to be sacrificed to the creature, urging him to find a way out and destroy the village, burn it all to the ground, before he too is sacrificed. Amidst the ritual, Dom has a vision of his wife emerging from the forest, not realizing it's the creature until it impales him on a nearby tree. Desperate to escape, Luke breaks his own thumb to partially free himself from his restraints, but gets interrupted by the young woman. When he asks about the creature, she explains that it is a Jötunn, a bastard son of Loki and an ancient god-like entity from Scandinavian mythology that the cult provides sacrifices to in return for freedom from pain and immortality. Luke has been chosen and is to either submit and worship to it too or be sacrificed. After she leaves, Luke fully frees himself and ventures upstairs. Armed with a torch, he finds a twisted congregation of mummified worshipers. He sets them alight, burning the cabin and attracting the Jötunn. Luke finds a hunting rifle and heads downstairs, running into and killing a follower before taking his axe along the way. The enraged Jötunn kills the young woman while Luke shoots at it and escapes. It pursues him, crippling his mind with hallucinations of Rob's killing before catching him and forcing him to his knees, offering him a chance to submit. Twice Luke refuses to kneel to it, then as he raises up in defiance he strikes it with the axe, briefly incapacitating it. Following hallucinatory sign-posts and rays of sunlight, he emerges in an open field. Unable to leave the forest, the Jötunn roars in anger while Luke shouts/roars back in triumph before heading towards a paved road.
