This is the last book and as such its main villain is the series overall main villain; there is not going to be an equivalent "here is where we unveil this book's villain" section.
Maybe so, but we've already had conflicts between the main characters and the series' overall main villains. This is their first encounter with a significant new threat. It's pretty standard practice for early battles like this to go badly for the protagonist. And again, I don't see much point in introducing amnesia potion without it affecting at least several people.
