Rush finds the man who gave the chest to Sardo, only to discover it is the infamous Dr. Vink. Vink helps by answering some of Rush's questions, guiding him to fulfill his destiny. They enter the trecherous lair of Jonas Cutter, hoping to come out alive.
Part II is action packed as Rush climbs through the trap-laden cave, searching for his brother. He avoids harm and/or death many times and ends up losing Dr. Vink. After he arrives to the room with both his brother and the treasure, Cutter challenges him to "one final battle" and Rush is reluctant. Vink reappears just in time to remind him of the dagger and its powers. But, instead of using it to forever emancipate Cutter's ghost from his worthless post as guardian, Rush figures out that that is what Cutter wants. So, he breaks the dagger and the curse and leaves Jonas Cutter's spirit forever in debt for the lives he took. A great tale.
