How it's used

It implies a sense of total mastery or overcoming a significant obstacle that previously seemed insurmountable. The tone is dramatic and carries a sense of achievement or dominance.
Examples
He is very determined and must conquer this high mountain.
Do you think he has the ability to defeat this opponent?
