What is the name of the location of the final battle in The Lion King?

The story behind the answer

The final battle in The Lion King takes place at Pride Rock. It is the royal landmark where Scar has ruled after usurping the throne and where Simba returns to challenge him.

After Simba reveals that Scar caused Mufasa’s death, Scar attacks him and the pride’s conflict erupts into a larger fight between the lionesses, Simba’s allies, and the hyenas. The battle spreads around Pride Rock, which is shown engulfed by fire. Simba and Scar then face each other near the summit and ledges of the rock.

Pride Rock is more than a setting: it represents kingship and rightful succession. Mufasa once ruled from it, Scar occupies it during his reign, and Simba ultimately ascends it after Scar’s defeat. The Pridelands is the broader kingdom, while the Outlands and Elephant Graveyard are separate locations.
