Warlock: The Armageddon is the second film in the series, but it starts over with a story that is not a continuation of the first film.

Instead of pieces of the Grand Grimoire, there are six rune stones that Druids can use to bring the Warlock to Earth and that the Warlock can use to open the gates of Hell so Satan can come to Earth.
