Coming into Act Five, the character finally “gets it”. Having faced death and rebirth at the Lowpoint and Newfound Resolve, he now understands The Ultimate Goal he should have been pursuing all along. Granted, he probably didn’t have all the information needed to reach this conclusion until now, but the fact remains had he pursued this goal from the beginning, he could have nipped the entire problem in the bud before it ever evolved into the fight he now faces.
