Maui admits that he feels worthless without his hook, but Moana sees a true hero in the demigod, regardless of his magical attributes. This resonates with Maui and gives him the courage to train in order to recover his power, under the guidance of Moana and Mini Maui (Maui’s sentient tattoo). Maui continues Moana’s mentoring in wayfinding, eventually turning her into a master navigator on par with her ancestors, though Maui contends that she may have surpassed them. Her friends repair the damaged raft using materials salvaged from Tautai Vasa’s raft that they found on the island, and they soon ride to face Nalo.

As they move forward, Moana observes as Maui is revealed to be a master scout. She asks him to teach her, and after he initially refuses, the ocean uses one of the Kakamora’s darts to paralyze the stubborn demigod, leaving him unable to navigate. After much mentoring, Moana falls asleep and has a nightmare in which she looks at her home island and her parents destroyed by Te Kā’s curse. When she wakes up, she finds that Maui has taken over the boat and successfully led them to Lalotai Island. Believing that she failed as a sailor, Moana deems herself as unfit for the sea and wishes to place her stone on the mountain. She tells this to Tala, who responds by showing Moana a hidden cave created by their ancestors long ago.

The ocean accepts Moana’s decision and brings Te Fiti’s heart back to the sea. As Moana bursts into tears, she is visited by Grandma Tala’s spiritual ghost, who comforts and apologizes to her granddaughter for putting such much pressure on her. Tala encourages Moana to return home if she wishes, promising to stay by her side on the journey.
