The climax of your story should be creating tension for the reader, should lead to a point where confrontation and realization exists, your MC meets the unknown things that they might've faced before but never conquered, and last but not least, should be the one giant conflict of the story. So here's a few tips for writing the very important scene.

[1] It Can't be Easy
Are you trying to make the reader lose interest? If your MC all of a sudden has 10,000 troops at their disposal, that is not the way to go. Your character needs a challenge that way the reader can feel the same rush of adrenaline your character is feeling.

[2] Stick with the Genre
If your your story is a historical fiction but all of a sudden has a time machine, your readers will not be happy with how your story has gone at all.

[3] Avoid the Clichés
One thing that readers can't stand is when they see something they've seen a thousand times before. If the father of your MC all of a sudden sees that no boy is better than his daughter that the guy your MC loves, readers will probably be a little perturbed.

[4] You Need the Falling Action
Make room for it, that way your reader won't feel cheated after that adrenaline rush they just experienced. I mean, what happened after Cinderella fit the shoe? Or after the woodsman killed the big bad wolf?
