Danny grants the Rider the ability to stay in Rider form even in broad daylight, the Rider then pursues Roarke. Carrigan kills Moreau while Danny returns the Ghost Rider to Johnny. The ritual to transfer Roarke into Danny's body begins while Johnny, Nadya, and Moreau secretly infiltrate the ceremony. The head monk Methodius tries to kill Danny but Carrigan intervenes, killing the monks and recapturing Danny. Moreau exorcises the spirit, and Johnny becomes human again. Johnny confesses that his deal with Roarke was selfish: His father had accepted his cancer and was ready to die, but Johnny could not accept it. Moreau tells Johnny that he can exorcise the spirit if Johnny tells a secret only he knows.

Johnny and Nadya bring Danny to the monastery, where Moreau explains that the Ghost Rider is an angel named Zarathos who was tortured and driven insane in Hell. Roarke finds Carrigan nearly dead and revives him, granting him the ability to decay anything he touches.

The Rider turns on Nadya and attempts to use the Penance Stare on her but Danny is able to stop him. The Rider emerges and takes on Carrigan's men, using an empowered mining machine to destroy their hideout and mortally wound Carrigan. That night, Nadya and Johnny interrogate a contact of Carrigan's and Johnny takes off to find Carrigan. Nadya explains that she made a deal with Roarke as well, and that Danny is Roarke's son. Meanwhile, Blaze awakens in a hospital and leaves, following Nadya and convincing her to accept his help. Carrigan informs Roarke (who is actually Mephisto in disguise) about the Rider's interference and Roarke places a spell on Danny to stop the Rider from tracking him. Nadya distracts the Ghost Rider, who is shot with grenades. He is about to execute Nadya when the Ghost Rider appears, killing several of Carrigan's men. Nadya and Danny are captured by Nadya's former boyfriend, Ray Carrigan. Moreau offers to restore Johnny's soul and remove the Ghost Rider's curse in exchange for the Rider's help finding Danny. Moreau decides to seek out Johnny Blaze, who is currently in hiding to prevent the Rider from running amok. A firefight ensues, and Danny is able to escape with his mother Nadya. They seek to kidnap a young boy named Danny and perform a ceremony on him that will allow the aging Roarke to transfer himself into Danny's body. In rural Romania, an alcoholic monk named Moreau warns a nearby monastery about an impending ambush by Roarke's forces. The film rights to the character were reverted to Marvel Studios shortly thereafter, and the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider appeared in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nicolas Cage stated that he was 'done' with the Ghost Rider films and a planned sequel was cancelled. The film grossed $132.6 million, against its $57–75 million production budget.

The film experienced worse critical reception than the first film, with criticism being aimed towards the script, CGI, and performances.
