The gameplay consists of single player and local co-operative play. Merida states that the journey was good for her because it taught her that she must strike a balance between her desire for adventure and her responsibilities as a princess. With Mor'du's defeat, Elinor and the triplets are restored to their human forms. After cleansing the last waystone in Mor'du's lair, Merida and her mother come face-to-face with the beast himself, with the princess finally defeating him after a long and arduous battle. Due to her status as the best archer in the kingdom, the witch charges Merida with cleansing the waystones of Mor'du's corruption.Īs Merida journeys through the land, she encounters her younger identical triplet brothers (Harris, Hubert, and Hamish), also transformed into bears, and her mother, gradually losing her humanity as the spell stays in effect. The corruption has grown to the point that it even affects the witch's magic, making its effects unpredictable, thus explaining Elinor's newly-ursine form.

The witch explains that the cursed bear Mor'du has been corrupting a series of waystones with his evil energy, leading to the appearance of hostile creatures. Confronting the witch, Merida demands her mother be changed back. Will-o'-the-wisps appear to guide her to the cottage of the witch from whom she originally received the spell. Merida chases her mother through the forest until she reaches the Ring of Stones. The storyline of the video game matches that of the film up until Elinor's transformation into a bear and subsequent escape from the castle, which is where the game begins. Actress Kelly Macdonald, who voiced Merida in the film, reprised her role for the video game. Brave is an action-adventure adaptation based on the 2012 film of the same name developed by Behaviour Interactive and published by Disney Interactive Studios.
