Three great obstacles block those who attempt to venture in . However , whoever manages to bypass them and steal the curse incurs the wrath of the Chernabog who serves as the failsafe for the thef . Through Rumplestiltskin 's false promises to provide them with happy endings , Cruella De Vil , Maleficent and Ursula help him nab the curse , but this awakens an angry Chernabog . Before making his own hasty exit , Rumplestiltskin advises the trio about the beast 's ability to detect whoever has the heart with the greatest potential for evil and devour it . Left to the creature 's mercy , the women hide behind rock pillars as they brainstorm a plan to let the Chernabog choose who it wants to kill first while the other two climb up a crack in the ceiling and then rescue the remaining person . Soon , the women step out into view , allowing the Chernabog a good look at each one of them , to which the beast settles for Maleficent , who combats with magic blasts . Once Cruella and Ursula reach safety , Maleficent reminds them of the plan , but when they do not save her , she grudgingly accepts her fate . As the Chernabog lunges at her , she is suddenly grabbed by Ursula 's tentacles and lifted to safety . Unable to reach the intruders , the Chernabog glares up at them with its red glowing eyes and roars in anger . At some point , the Chernabog ends up trapped in the Sorcerer 's Hat . After the nuns are absorbed in as well , Belle and Hook research for a spell to free them . Belle consults a professor from Oxford to translate the spell , but little does she know , the man who helps her via email is none other than the banished Mr. Gold . Regina succeeds in releasing the nuns , but the Chernabog is also freed and flies off without anyone 's notice . Later , the winged beast perches atop the clock tower and lets out a vicious growl , which attracts much fear and shock from the townspeople . Working together , Emma and Regina combine their magic to physically stun it temporarily . While the Chernabog is still on the loose , the pair gain knowledge from Cruella De Vil and Ursula about the creature 's knack for finding and consuming the heart of a person with the greatest potential for evil . Since the Chernabog is magical , the demon must go across the town line as there is no magic outside of Storybrooke which will cause Chernabog to disappear . Believing that Chernabog wants her , Regina joins Emma in her car as they lure it out of Storybrooke . Instead , the Chernabog is actually stalking Emma and after it causes damage to the car windshield , Regina teleports to the town line and offers herself as bait . While Chernabog is on the car roof , Emma rapidly accelerates the vehicle speed , and then halts the car abruptly , which throws the Chernabog across the town barrier where it disappears . Darkness N / A 4 , 5 Alive The Darkness is n't exactly a creature , but rather a sentient force of pure evil . It appears as a black mass of tendrils without a host . It 's later revealed to be the embodiment of Nimue 's magic / soul , which became corrupted after Nimue used the magic granted to her by the Holy Grail to kill Vortigan ( the Darkness is immortal , this is a result of Nimue drinking the waters of the Holy Grail ) . She , along with the other consciousnesses of the Dark Ones , continue to reside in their successors . When one becomes a Dark One , a mental image of their predecessor appears to guide them in how to use the Darkness 's powers . The waterfall in the pocket dimension inside the Vault of the Dark One is liquid darkness . To keep Nimue from causing damage , Merlin created the Dark One 's Dagger via a tethering spell to control her . However , she stole it and later used it to turn Merlin into a tree . Nimue would later be stabbed by the dagger , allowing her magic and consciousness to possess her attacker . Thus anyone who killed a Dark One gained magic and the Darkness grew more powerful with each new Dark One . This began the Dark One line . Between Nimue and Gorgon the Invincible , there were at least 18 Dark Ones . After these 20 came Zoso and Rumplestiltskin . When Mr. Gold 's heart is in danger of being devoured by the Darkness , the Apprentice attempts to seal it in the Sorcerer 's Hat ; it escapes and fatally wounds him in an attempt to make him its new host . It tries using Regina next , but Emma uses the dagger to force the Darkness to possess her instead . Though it 's believed Emma has fallen under the Darkness 's sway , flashbacks reveal that she remains un-corrupted by it ; in truth she was planning to transfer the Darkness into Zelena after she gives birth , and then slay her to put an end to the Darkness . The reason for this is that half of the Darkness was transferred into Hook to save his life ; he had received a wound to his neck from Excalibur , which was unable to be healed , thus forcing Emma to do this out of love . Unfortunately , Hook has surrendered to the Darkness ( and acts quirky as Rumplestiltskin when around Mr. Gold ) , continuing Nimue 's plan to destroy light magic ; he manages to open a portal to the Underworld , bringing back every Dark One from Nimue to Zoso . Luckily , Hook 's love for Emma allows him to see that revenge is not the right path , allowing him to seal all the Dark Ones into Excalibur ; rather than have Emma sacrifice herself , as she has family , Hook offers his own life , freeing her of the Darkness . With this , both the Darkness and Excalibur vanish into nothingness . Unfortunately , Mr. Gold created a new Dark One 's Dagger to absorb all the Dark Ones ' magic making him even stronger than Emma .

However , it 's possible that she took an equal amount of life from the five of them to pay off the debt . Charon N / A 5 Alive Charon ( pronounced `` care - on '' ) is the Ferryman being who takes the souls of the departed to the Underworld , or brings back ones for a temporary time .
