Need the Godzilla x Kong ending explained? With a movie that is this stuffed full of brawls, it wouldn’t surprise us if you need a refresher on exactly how our kaiju duo managed to best their latest foe. Be warned though, there are SPOILERS ahead — if you’ve not seen it yet, here’s how to watch Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire near you so you don’t have the Titans’ latest brawl completely ruined for you.

After duking it out and then teaming up against Mechagodzilla in Godzilla vs Kong, the titular Titans settled in separate territories: Kong was given the run of Hollow Earth, whilst Godzilla remained dormant on the surface, reemerging to defend Earth from other Titans when they appeared.

The latest entry in Legendary’s MonsterVerse sees the two Titans forced to team up all over again. Kong stumbles upon the Skar King, an orangutan-esque Titan who rules in a hitherto-uncharted part of the Hollow Earth. This fearsome new foe rules over a group of fellow apes, wields a flexible Titan spine as a weapon, and has enslaved another Titan, Shimo, to do his bidding.

Kong’s first encounter with the Titan doesn’t go well. After getting an upgrade (courtesy of Monarch’s “Project Powerhouse”), Kong emerges on Earth in an attempt to get his former rival’s help. Godzilla takes this as a challenge, and a brawl ensues… one which does some serious damage to the Great Pyramids.

Luckily, Jia and Mothra intervene, stopping the fight before it got out of hand. Then, the pair teamed up to take down their new foe. Here’s a recap of exactly how they managed to take down the supersized simian, the Skar King.

After a brawl in zero-gravity, our four titans (plus Suko, aka “Mini-Kong”) fell through an access point to the surface, emerging in Rio de Janeiro.

Initially, the Skar King’s agility proves a huge boon. With his Titan whip and agility, he manages to dance around a lot of Kong’s blows. He also continues to exploit ice Titan Shimo, using the crystal attached to his weapon to direct Shimo to attack Godzilla and Kong.
