In the [[All Hyrule, United]] Scenario, Daruk, along with the Champions, Divine Beasts, as well as the soldiers of all races are summoned by Purah when she reactivates and supercharges the Sheikah Towers to unite them into a single army. Daruk,<ref>{{Cite|Time to rock and rampage! Yeah, Yunobo?|Daruk|HWAoC}}</ref> and Yunobo,<ref>{{Cite|Yes, sir! Let's do this!|Yunobo|HWAoC}}</ref> are hyped for the battle of a lifetime. With her father's blessing, Zelda takes command of the united army in a full-scale assault against Calamity Ganon. The dark beast made attempts at keeping its defenses up, the warriors brought down the monsters that maintain it so Zelda can dispel it with her power. Daruk and the other Champions take the opportunity to open fire as the Divine Beasts lasers weaken Ganon,<ref>{{Cite|C'mon!|Daruk|HWAoC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Take this!|Revali|HWAoC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Here it comes!|Urbosa|HWAoC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|We must!|Mipha|HWAoC}}</ref> but the Blood Moon rises, and revives the fallen monsters. the armies persevere as they charge into Hyrule Castle to take it back and confront Astor and Harbinger Ganon.  


In [[The Future of Hyrule]] Scenario, Princess Zelda leads the ground army and Revali, alongside Teba, leading the Rito forces from the air. The Blight Ganons attempt to hold them back but are ultimately destroyed forever and they defeated Astor and the Harbinger as well. Astor is completely unstable as he orders Ganon to destroy the warriors that stand against him, but he is absorbed by Ganon's Malice to take on a new form and some of its Malice takes control of Terrako, forcing Link and Zelda to duel it. With Terrako damaged, Daruk and the others join her as they mourn for it. The now angered Zelda becomes determined to stop Ganon by any means possible as they head upstairs into the Sanctum where Ganon awaited them. The dark beast proved to be too powerful for them and their attacks don't work against it and Zelda used her power to try and seal it, but it indirectly powers up Terrako, who uses the last of its strength to run upstairs and jump between them, sacrificing itself in the process to shatter Ganon's invincibility. Because of Terrako's actions, the warriors managed to weaken it enough for Link to charge at it. Daruk,<ref>{{Cite|You can do it, little guy!|Daruk|HWAoC}}</ref> and Revali,<ref>{{Cite|Don't screw this up!|Revali|HWAoC}}</ref> root for him as Link jumps and, with the Blade of Evil's Bane, cleaves Ganon to weaken it further and Princess Zelda uses her power to finally seal Ganon away and restore peace to the land of Hyrule. With their purposes in the past fulfilled, Terrako's screw sends the adult Sidon, Yunobo, Teba, and Riju back to their timelines. Daruk bids farewell to Yunobo and promises that he will always cherish their time together, despite it being so short,<ref>{{Cite|Thanks for everything, Yunobo. We didn't get much time together, but I'll always cherish it.|Daruk|HWAoC}}</ref> and Yunobo praises him back.<ref>{{Cite|I will too! It was so much fun. You're the best, Daruk!|Yunobo|HWAoC}}</ref> Zelda then tells the future counterparts that their efforts will never be forgotten as they vanish and wishes them a brighter future than ever before.
