As Grindelwald moved to trap the intruders, the pyramid’s hidden chambers revealed valuable treasures and a prisoner buried beneath it, and Ted learned that Fleur was inside and in trouble.

Grindelwald confronted the resurrected mummy beneath the pyramid while Ted fought Starlight and Newt above. After killing Starlight and taking her golden tablet, Ted faced Newt and prepared to test his magic inside Mirror Space.

• The Commander chief arrived riding a flying dragon as Ted watched from above.

Ted intervened in the Swedish battle against the Orcs, destroying most of their forces with a magical Blizzard before leaving with data and spoils.
