"With the destruction of Visari's main city the ISA now have an opportunity to capture Visari in his own Palace, but they must first destroy the main Arc Battery."

―Chapter description

Visari Palace is the tenth and final level of Killzone 2.

Plot

Scolar Visari and Colonel Radec detonated the Red Dust nuclear warhead on Pyrrhus, destroying the ISA forces within the city. Only the remaining ISA forces led by Captain Narville and Alpha Squad escaped the devastation alive. The nuclear attack left a demoralizing effect on the surviving ISA forces, but Alpha Squad remains determined to see Scolar Visari's capture.

Alpha Squad and the survivors under Narville launched a desperate assault on Visari Palace. They advance on the Lazar Highway, where they are quickly forced to bypass the main road due to both enemy resistance and a part of the road missing. Fighting through Helghast resistance, Alpha Squad disable the Arc Battery that is preventing ISA Cruisers from providing air support to their ground forces. In the final assault, the remaining ISA forces push through the last stand of Helghast forces, who fought fiercely to protect their Autarch, but are ultimately defeated.

Sev and Rico then make their way into the palace itself, being ordered to arrest Visari. On their way, they encounter Radec, causing a fight to break out between them and his remaining men. Radec's forces are ultimately defeated, and Radec, who is left wounded, commits suicide out of disgrace. Sev and Rico then proceed to Visari's inner sanctum and finding Visari by himself. Just as Sev prepares to arrest Visari, the Autarch gloats that he has still won, stating that the ISA need him alive in order to control his people, as killing or removing him from power will make him a martyr to the Helghast who will not stop their war against Vekta. Rico, who cannot contain his revenge for Templar and Garza's deaths, suddenly guns down Visari much to Sev's horror. A dying Visari gives his last words: "The madness begins."

Narville and Natko arrive on the scene too late as a shocked and weary Sev walks pass them and ignoring Narville's questions. Sev walks outside and sits on the palace's steps, where he witness a large Helghast fleet belonging to the Helghast First Army begins its attack on what is left of the ISA invasion force.

"I'm placing you under arrest..."

"Are your commanders really all so afraid?"

"Really, Sergeant. And who won?"

"The Helghast have lost nothing! We fight for who we are!"

"That is why your leaders dare not make a martyr of me."

"Does that sound like a victory to you, Sergeant Sevchenko?"

"Good men have died, and I'll see you rot in a cell for it!"

"For giving my people pride, purpose? We have built this great nation from nothing!"

"We will choke the streets with our dead before we surrender."

"You have not won. You will never!"

"Madness..."

"The madness...begins."

"What happened?"
