Summary Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Dune: Part Two!Dune: Part Two delivers an epic ending to Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's first book, setting the stage for the franchise's continued expansion. The sequel picks up after Dune 2021's ending and shows the journey of Paul Atreides as he becomes part of the Fremen culture and struggles with the Lisan al Gaib prophecy.

Despite fighting the reality that he must go south, drink the Water of Life, and become the Lisan al Gaib, Paul's hand is forced when Feyd-Rautha destroys the Fremen's north seitch. Paul's plan is to obtain the full breadth of the Bene Gesserit powers by drinking the Water of Life. He knows that his miraculous accomplishment will bring the support of the entire Fremen population behind him.

Dune's Holy War With The Great Houses Explained Paul's Ascension Begins A War One of the final moments of Dune 2's ending is Jessica's proclamation that a "Holy War" is beginning. The Fremen's new Reverend Mother makes the comment after watching Paul's army begin boarding ships to go to war with the Great Houses.

Leaving Paul means Dune 2 ends with Chani preparing to ride a sandworm with her destination unclear. Since Villeneuve changed the book for this story development, Frank Herberg's novel does not answer where she is going. It is possible that Chani has decided to leave Paul permanently so she can venture off on her own, retaining her ways as a Fremen free of his control. This would bring only bigger changes to the story for a potential Dune: Messiah adaptation.

How Dune 2's Ending Is Different From The Book Villeneuve's Movie Made Some Notable Changes Dune 2 is a fairly accurate adaptation of the second half of Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel, just as the 2021 film was a faithful portrayal of the first half. However, the sequel does still make some changes to the book through its ending. Chani's story is one of the biggest ways Dune 2 changes the book, including having her leave Paul.
