![]() In the book, there are no Native Americans who teach Mike about the Ritual of Chüd. The scene from the movie in which Mike explains the Ritual of Chüd to Bill is based on a chapter in King’s book in which the child Losers decide to perform an “Indian ceremony” that involves filling up their clubhouse with smoke to create a “smoke-hole.” Once the others can no longer endure the smoke, Mike and Ritchie are left alone inside the clubhouse, and both experience a vision of It’s arrival on Earth. But to do this, they first need to each collect a token from their childhood that they can burn inside the artifact. ![]() ![]() Mike is convinced that if the Losers recreate the ritual, they will be able to stop It’s reign of terror forever. Unfortunately, they are only able to trap It with the ceremony instead of killing It for good. The tribe is then shown standing around the artifact as a fire burns inside it, signifying that they are performing the Ritual of Chüd. Although It arrives in its true form of the Deadlights, Bill watches as It transforms into a bird before rapidly shifting between a number of grotesque forms while preying upon the ancestors of the Native American tribe that Mike sought out. What follows is a trippy animated sequence in which Bill sees a vision of It crash-landing on Earth in an event similar to an asteroid impact. Mike then pulls out a Native American artifact that he stole from the tribe, which is covered in markings that reveal the origins of It. He goes on to reveal that he spent several years chasing down every possible lead on It, a search that led him to the descendants of the Native Americans who inhabited the future site of Derry at the time of It’s arrival. Once there, Mike drugs Bill’s drink with a hallucinogenic root that was given to him by a Native American tribe he visited to try to learn more about It. ![]() But the rest of the group all makes plans to return to Derry right away.įollowing the Losers’ Club reunion at the Jade of the Orient and their discovery that Stan has died, in a scene that diverges from the book, Mike takes Bill to the library in hopes of convincing him that it’s possible to defeat It once and for all. The knowledge that It has returned proves too much for Stan (Andy Bean), who dies by suicide almost immediately after taking Mike’s call. In the book, the ritual takes readers on a psychic journey into King’s macroverse, the realm in which It’s true form - the Deadlights that transfixed Bev when she saw inside Pennywise’s mouth in the first movie - coexists alongside a massive, benevolent turtle named Maturin who vomitted out the mainstream universe in King’s novels. It’s at that point in the story that the Ritual of Chüd, essentially a battle of wills against It and one of the strangest and most confusing aspects of King’s novel, comes into play. IT Chapter Two, director Andy Muschietti’s follow-up to his hit 2017 adaptation of the first half of King’s book, sees the now-adult Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy), Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain), Richie Tozier (Bill Hader), Eddie Kaspbrak (James Ransone) and Ben Hanscom (Jay Ryan) return to their small Maine hometown at the call of their old friend Mike Hanlon (Isaiah Mustafa) to face off with the chilling evil that has once again awoken.īut to defeat It for good, the Losers must first regain their memories of everything that happened during that fateful summer of 1989.
