The Ancestor avatar itself is the "easy path", such as the destruction of the low-health psychological-damaging enemies over the more robust, physically stronger foes, or just the destruction of monsters over solving the long-term issues of the Hamlet beyond monsters, including the abundance of disease and the Hamlet's isolation.

In other words, metaphorically speaking, the abyssal pits are the strange things going on in the world you (the heir) never attempt to fix, such as the corruption in the Weald. The three abyssal pits of darkness represent everything you can't easily defeat or understand. The second stage involves a tug-of-war between your characters and the Ancestor avatar and the abyssal pits of darkness allied with him.This fight represents your willingness to murder anything and anyone in your way and butcher that which is outright disgusting, all to deal Scratch Damage to the final boss. The first stage involves defeating clones of the Ancestor, where each kill of a mutated clone will damage the otherwise invincible boss.Specifically, the final boss is a general metaphor for the damage you (the heir) have done to both foe and ally alike to get this far.
