The film opens with a cold, rainy night. Lia seeks refuge with a village shaman (Tok Wan) who claims to have battled the Paglet decades ago. Unlike the creature in Part 1—which was a mindless stalker—the Paglet in the 2021 sequel is revealed to be a "Tukang Kutuk" (a vengeful spirit created by betrayal).
