Tests, Allies & Enemies: The hero faces obstacles and challenges, meets allies, and confronts enemies, which strengthens and prepares them for their main ordeal.
The Approach: This is the preparation stage for the final battle or supreme ordeal.
The Supreme Ordeal: The hero faces their biggest challenge, often losing something significant but emerging victorious.
The Reward: The hero receives a reward for their bravery and endurance, which could be treasure, love, respect, or admiration.
The Road Back: The hero decides to return to their ordinary world, still facing some remaining obstacles.
Growth or Atonement: The hero, now wiser and stronger, uses their new skills to confront the ultimate power in their life.
