The Third Plot Point in Story Structure

The third act represents the final quarter of the story, roughly from 75 % through the end. It moves the protagonist into a final confrontation to determine whether or not the plot goal will be gained. Although the story may end with the character's triumph, the third act is traditionally a period of darkness, temptation and sacrifice. The crone arc is focused on the struggle against death. And finally, we have the climax and the mage arc.
