Nightmare Fuel / Demon In Fodlan

Go To

Being a crossover between Fate/Grand Order and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the horrors from both franchises are just as bone-chilling here, especially when your protagonist is a former Beast.

Per troping policy, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.


Main Chapters:

  • The very one-sided battle against the bandits in Remire Village shows that Goetia is still a ruthless combatant and being turned into a human has not dampened that, as shown in Chapter 2 where he incinerated one bandit alive and combusted another's head with his palm. And all while looking calm and bored at doing the task that it initially unnerved a few of the bandits and caused a few others to flee for their lives.
    Goetia: I will offer you a reprieve. Withdraw or die.
  • Lonato's rebellion goes very differently because of his partnership with Lemegeton, resulting in his rebellion against the Knights of Seiros initially one-sided. For the knights. Thanks to Lemegeton arming Lonato's army with enchanted swords, even the most untrained peasant gains enhanced strength, speed and resilience. The drawback? They become unstoppable Berserkers that won't stop until their enemies are killed. Case in point, the knight encampment at Magdred Way was ambushed and massacred to a man, only a few managing to escape to warn the Monastery of the upcoming threat.
  • The battle happens at Oghma Mountains and like in canon; fog is shrouding the battlefield. Except this fog is powered by Lemegeton, which not only obscures vision, but also sound and movement. And makes it easier for the madden-induced peasants to ambush unsuspecting targets. The carnage is so bad that it was enough for Dimitri's bloodthirsty side to emerge earlier than in canon.
    Lord Lonato: You are far too aggressive, young Prince. And you should not have come, I have no interest in killing you, your majesty.
    Dimitri: That makes one of us!
    • After a Tower Knight managed to stop Lemegeton from firing a beam at Shamir and the other archers, Lemegeton retaliates by first breaking the knight's arm, which an audible crunch can be heard, before snaping the poor man's spine in half with his knee, killing him instantly. Lemegeton then proceeds to toss the corpse over the hill like it was nothing but garbage.
    • Although Goetia's arrival to the battlefield might have a triumphed one, it soon turns horrifying when Goetia directs his rage at Lonato and his army for Lysithea's fatal injury, unleashing his fury to wipe out Lonato's entire army in a single swoop. It also becomes pretty clear that he purposely missed Lonato because he was saving him for last. And instead of incinerating him with a magical beam like he did to his army, Goetia decided to beat Lonato to death, continuing to beat him even after he was dead from the first two strikes. And the entire thing has Goetia going through several emotions, from calmly seething, to rage-ranting and then smiling and laughing as he kills Lonato's army to finally smiling gleefully while he beats the old man to death and enjoying it.
  • The implications on what was Sothis in her prime during Ancient Fodlan, based from a mixture of both Rhea and Kronya's accounts, she was an Olympian Machine God who loved humanity in her own way and her response to humanity rebelling against her is to slaughter all of them, along with the local Gods assisting them and flooding the world afterwards to make way for a humanity that she will create who are dedicated to worshipping her. To emphasize on how concerning the situation is, the normally composed Goetia freaks out when he deduces her past self based from the church golems powered by silver liquid or "klironomia".
