Caster fuckin Scathach...hopefully 316 quartz will be enough.

 

Wonder when this is going to drop, I'm hyped.

 

Since this is set during Ragnarok, we may be getting a good look at plenty of Aesir and Vanir gods. The guy at the end, throwing the light projectiles, might be Baldr? The one fighting Mashu at the start may be Loki? We've got Surtr basically confirmed, which is cool. Jormungandr, Thor, Fenrir, Odin...they may all be in it. This could easily be the best Lostbelt there is tbh.

Edit:

Whelp boys these 3 just dropped, I was wrong about Baldr LUL

>Nice guy of imperishable flames

lul

 

RIP quartz once the part 2 gacha comes around

 

So speculation is that Scathach and Skadi are effectively the same person, her ingame title is something along the lines of Scathach=Skadi too.

 

So far it looks like she will be a solid quick support.

Also, done with that new chapter. It was pretty fun but there were a lot of zerker nodes, thank you abby.

 

From what I read on the subreddit, she isn't the same Scathach we all know in love. She's the main antagonist in the singularity and her plan is pretty dark and messed up, so it appears Skadi's personality has altered her, possessed her, or something of similar nature. So it makes me wonder if the one we someone in the gacha will be the true Scathach or this altered version of her. Kinda reminds of the Camelot singularity with Lancer Artoria.

 

Summary for LB 2 (credit to pplovesk on the fgo reddit)

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

- Sutur ate Fenrir, got his icy flame, and became too powerful. Norse deities united and managed to seal him inside the giant sun that we saw with the cost of nine realms and everyone life except Skadi, who survived thanks to being fused with Scathach and thus escaped from Sutur detection. Also this Sutur also became too ambitious and want to incinerate whole world instead of Scandinavia (This supposed to be one of the reason this LB was pruned out by Human Order).

- Skadi gathered the survived humans and giants, hoping to recreate the society to no avail. Too much of Skadi magical energy must be used to constantly suppress now-sealed-Surtur and his blue flames and thus development of civilization has been severely limited. In other word Skadi herself actually wants to use her power to help humans develop normally like our society but cannot afford to due to having to keep Sutur in check (her winter is supposed to become a foundation for a new spring that will come).

- When Ophelia was caught in the explosion, her vision linked with Sutur after his failed Ragnarok (before he was sealed of course), enabling them to converse and he then secretly bound himself with her via her mystic eye while also casting a curse onto her. This is why he was able to intercept the summoning of Sigurd and hypnotize her for awhile until Napoleon's sacrifice.

- Surtur, after consuming the Imaginary Tree, regained his full power (i.e. icy flame) but then Napolean sacrificed himself to basically turn his normal NP into super Stella. Ophelia also used that super-command spell thingy to forcefully destroy her own Mystic Eye to cut her tie with Surtur (at the cost of her own life). Since Surtur already used his NP, his head was blown to pieces by Napolean and also lost his mana source from Ophelia he was left in a vulnerable state where he must take quite a time to heal himself up. We then finished him off before he regenerate by destroying his spiritual core since he was also a kind of heroic spirit, but with the cost of Sigurd and Brynhildr life (the core was inside his magma body and both of them was fatally injured by it).

- Story-wise, the fights with Skadi and Imaginary Tree after were supposed to be super easy since Skadi had already spent most of her mana when helping us fighting Sutur and the tree was also heavily damaged by the time we fight it.

- Ophelia was in love with Wodime, she realized that on her deathbed when conversing with Mashu. She also wished to say thanks to Napoleon for his words and his final rainbow (NP) that he showed her & tell him that she actually rejected his proposal(lol) if they were to meet again.

- Surtur's final flashback : Surtur actually felt gratitude towards Ophelia when she found him. He felt bad for his own failure to properly initiate his planned Ragnarok since his own being was solely born for the purpose of putting an end to Gods yet he failed his it so he felt down a lot. Then Ophelia found him at his final moment and he found that she sympathizing with him soothed his sadness. He wants to do her something to return the favor but since he is a being of destruction he doesn't know what to do other than burning everything to ashes.

- Ironically Skadi said that with Surtur's death this LB now attained a new hope since she doesn't have to spend a lot of mana to suppress Surtur anymore the society might be able to actually develop. That's why she steeled her resolve and challenged us, while fully aware that it would likely ended in her loss since she, the valkyrie and the tree were already worn out at that time.

 

lmfao what a feelsbadman, that's what both Lostbelts have shaped up to be so far.

 

This is going to reach a boiling point eventually

 

Just completed Lostbelt 2 myself, it was fun overall mainly thanks to the boss fights, which were pretty cool. Got nearly enough quartz for 12 10 rolls for the upcoming Lostbelt part 2 gacha and doing the free quest will put me over, so hopefully that will be more than enough for me to get Scath/Skadi. Otherwise I will be tempted to break my f2p streak, which has been going on for more than a year(not counting paid the gacha btw). Its risky considering Anniversary and Swimsuit Servants are on the horizon, but hey that's how much I want her lol.

 

This one was definitely a step up tbh. Probably because there was a bit of a dive into Norse/Germanic mythology which, because of its stronger integration into the story, was a lot more interesting and immersive than the Anastasia Lostbelt. Surtr was a great fight especially.

Meanwhile, I think I've got like 5 quartz, and only 8 or 9 free quests in Gotterdammerung, so I'm missing out on Sigurd and Skadi ;----;
