Dahak had fought against the Sumerian gods, who were eventually able to stop Dahak's advances.

With the chalice gone, the Sumerian gods no longer had the means to sustain themselves, let alone fight Dahak any further.

Dahak had finally entered the world in Iolaus ' body with Iolaus ' soul as a prisoner.

The balance of light and darkness began to shift in Dahak's favor through every tragic event: The Sumerian gods have died as a result of having nothing to sustain themselves, and Dahak himself had killed the noble druids of Ireland, who acted as mentors to Hercules after Iolaus ' apparent death.

When Dahak arrived at Greece, he found that the Olympian Gods, who were severely weakened by his dark presence, had already left before his arrival.

Dahak sensed that his former ally Ares had not left with them, instead choosing to hide.

In spite of this, Dahak chose to adopt a disguise as Iolaus the new " god of light " in order to gain followers and trust of the people who believed that the Olympian gods had abandoned them.

Hercules wanted to know what Dahak had to gain from his deception, and Dahak states the wants a return to the old days before the Olympians ruled the earth.

Towards the end of the series Ares is himself replaced by the evil god, Dahak, who is the main villain in the show's fifth season and sets off a story arc that has Hercules traveling to Sumeria, Norseland and Éire.

As Hercules journeyed towards Sumeria, Dahak haunts Hercules in his dreams stating that " I am the darkness you hold close to your heart.

Hercules interrupted the ritual and engaged in an intense battle against Gilgamesh who was transformed into a demon by Dahak.

Taking on the form of Hercules, Dahak offered Iolaus " the power of a thousand gods " in order to liberate the world from the Olympian God's reign of terror.

Dahak made a vague attempt to make Hercules believe that he is indeed Iolaus just with the power to achieve whatever he wants.

Dahak easily escaped Hercules ' grasp and journeyed to Greece.

Mnemosyne advised Hercules to gain the " stone of creation " in which its purest light will render Dahak powerless.

After these revelations, Hercules gains a new ally, Zarathustra, who was once a follower of Dahak a thousand years prior to one of Dahak's attempts to enter the world.

Zarathustra reveals to Hercules that Dahak wants Hercules to kill him in order to condemn Iolaus ' soul to eternal doom, giving Dahak the means to plunge the world into chaos.

After obtaining the stone of creation, Hercules and Zarathustra confronted Dahak and bind him in chains using the stone to prevent Dahak's escape.

Dahak revealed to Hercules of how he manipulated Iolaus into accepting him into his heart.

During this time, Dahak taunts Hercules further by telling him that Iolaus was nothing more than a travelling companion.

Hercules tells Dahak that his friendship with Iolaus is one of the best things that he has been blessed with.

This moral sentiment upsets Dahak and weakens him enough for Iolaus to call out to Hercules from the spiritual realm Dahak has him trapped in.

Dahak lured Iolaus ' spirit into the realm where Dahak is still a prisoner and disguise his environment as the Elysian Fields.

Hercules and Iolaus battle Dahak and send him into a fiery pit.
