They
travel to the kingdom of Tohor where they discover that Tarabas, the
reformed dark wizard, has been imprisoned and accused of conjuring the
black cloud. Fantaghirò, who knows that he has renounced his evil ways,
helps him escape. Fantaghirò, Tarabas, Parsel and Princess Angelica of
Tohor (who has fallen in love with Tarabas) leave Tohor to track down
the black cloud, which they discover is conjured by a powerful dark
magician named Darken.
Elsewhere, the Dark Witch is struggling to revive her magical powers which have become weak after she'd helped Fantaghirò in the previous film. She needs help, so she decides to revive Xellesia, and together the two witches travel to find Tarabas and prevent him from discovering the origins of the dark cloud.
Fantaghirò and her group have tracked the black cloud to a kingdom beneath a dormant volcano. There they encounter a deformed man named Fiodor who tells them that the kingdom is ruled by Darken. Darken then emerges from Parsel's body, where he has been hiding from the very beginning. A fight ensues, and Fantaghirò is killed. An enraged Tarabas is about kill Darken when Xellesia arrives and stops him. It is then revealed that Darken is Tarabas' father, and the black cloud was part of an elaborate plot to bring Tarabas back to his evil ways.

Darken
promises to bring Fantaghirò back to life if Tarabas will embrace his
dark side again. Tarabas is reluctant, but Fiodor talks him into it. It
is revealed that Fiodor is actually Romualdo, transformed by Darken into
a hideous monster in order to taunt him with never being able to return
to Fantaghirò. Fiodor also makes Tarabas promise to take care of
Fantaghirò.
Tarabas finally agrees to become evil again if
it means that Fantaghirò can live, and Darken revives her. While Tarabas
tries to convince Darken of his evil "honesty", Fantaghirò conspires
with Fiodor, Angelica and a revived Parsel to rescue the stolen castles
from Darken's collection and escape from the underground kingdom. After
Darken is temporarily subdued, Tarabas, Xellesia and a reluctant Dark
Witch join the group in escaping from Darken's kingdom. Along the way,
Xellesia sacrifices herself so her son will be safe.Darken follows the group, and another fight ensues. In the end, Darken is defeated and Fantaghirò's castle is restored to its full glory. Fantaghirò has also realised that Fiodor is her beloved Romualdo. Fiodor tries to escape, embarrassed by his new form, but Fantaghirò insists that she does not love him for his looks. Tarabas is touched by Fantaghirò's devotion to Romualdo, and decides to move on with his life, promising Angelica that he will learn to love her.
In the end, Fiodor transforms back into Romualdo (using edited footage from the first film), and the pair are reunited.
