And if so, how will he do it? Is the trip to Elfhelm going to rid him of the Beast permanently, or simply suppress it? Or shall Guts suffer forever onward to the final battle? What then?

How exactly will the Beast be stopped when it has nothing else to quench its thirst for blood, and most of all, how will poor Guts be able to rid himself of it for good? Thoughts?
