  3. The hero: Accept the call?
  4. The mentor: A mentor appears with a gift or training
  5. The hero: Cross the threshold into the unknown world
  6. The hero: Tests, allies and enemies: the cantina, Diagon Alley, the training center
  7. The hero: Approach the inmost cave
  8. The villain: The ordeal: the hero faces death or loses the mentor
  9. The hero: Seize the reward: a weapon, a secret, a plan

  11. The hero: The final test, a resurrection
  12. The hero: Does the hero win?
  13. The hero: Return home, changed, with the elixir
  14. The world: The ordinary world is better, and the hero belongs to it in a new way
  15. The mentor: The mentor's lesson returns at the last second
  16. The hero: Try once more with everything learned
