In China, Newt Scamander helps a Qilin give birth, but Grindelwald's cronies kill the mother and take the newborn creature. As the mother is dying, Newt discovers the Qilin had twins, and rescues the second fawn. Grindelwald then sacrifices the Qilin to look into the future. As the Dumbledore cannot fight Grindelwald due to their blood oath, he recruits Newt, his brother Theseus, charms teacher Lally Hicks, Yusuf Kama, Jacob and Bunty, Newt's assistant. Yusuf pretends to join forces with Grindelwald, and the other go to Berlin, where they witness Grindelwald's charges dropped due to lack of evidence by the head of the International Confederation of Wizards (who is being pressured by Grindelwald's followers). Grindelwald then announces his candidacy to the office of Supreme Mugwump, and the ICW believes that losing the election will erode Grindelwald's support. Theseus is arrested under false pretenses, and while Newt rescues him from a secret prison, Jacob and Lally foil an attempt to assassinate another candidate. Grindelwald also sends Credence to assassinate Dumbledore, but he fails, and Dumbledore reveals that Credence is the son of his younger brother Aberforth; Credence then starts to question his loyalty to Grindelwald. The election of the Supreme Mugwump is held in Buthan, and the winner is traditionally chosen by a Qilin, who has the ability to read into the hearts of the people and bow in front of truly good persons. Grindelwald reanimates his dead Qilin to ensure it will select him, and all the leaders of the Wizarding world converge to Buthan. Dumbledore's team defeat Grindelwald's henchmen who, knowing they have a live Qilin, attempt to take it from them. In the meanwhile Newt walks up the stairs to the temple where the ceremony takes place, but arrives too late and Grindelwald is chosen. He immediately declares war on the Muggles. Credence, Newt and Queenie however expose his plot, and Bunty produces the surviving Qilin who first chooses Dumbledore. The latter refuses, so it chooses another candidate. Grindelwald then tries to kill Credence, but Dumbledore protects his nephew, and the fight between the two wizards somehow breaks the Blood Oath; Grindelwald flees. Later, Jacob and Queenie finally get married.
