Upon Randi and his party's arrival to stop him, they find they are no match for him as he undoes the seal with little trouble.

For his third appearance, Geshtar makes an appearance at the castle in [[Northtown]] challenging Randi's party to a fight as the [[Mech Rider 2|Mech Rider again]] to avenge his honor. Upon defeat, Geshtar flies his machine into the castle which explodes and kills him.
