#shimosa singularity

[fragmentsofchaldea]

What has been your favorite lost shard you wrote so far, and how many chapters are left before we get to the next supplement shard?

Honestly the fluffy shards are my favorites to write aside from the excerpts from Thronebook.

To all who asked: Two fragments before the Shimosa supplement, counting the next one.

EOR Shimosa Singularity: Section 1~Section 4

Now... The first hell shall begin here. With the first quarter of Shimousa.... Can I mention again that this Singularity is still one I hated most thanks to one fucking boss here?!

Without further ado... Let’s enter the inferno... WHICH FOR SOME REASON I CAN’T POST PHOTO ON TEXT POST, SO I’M DOING THIS... WTF TUMBLR?!

Prologue

Begin somewhere in Japan of Mt. Kinbou’s Reigandou... Of an old man Musashi at his final days and hours before his passing. While waiting for a certain person to arrive, he narrates about the bloodshed life he did once known as Miyamoto Musashi.

And further laments of how his life would be different if he didn’t chose the path of Samurai. He wants more time... Which... The start of our Singularity begins

Now in Chaldea, Mash find Gudas in recalling the first New Year event that they met Miyamoto Musashi in their dreams. And then explains the reason which why DW decided to gender bend Musashi, making them completely different person.

Mash then revealed she found the Book of Five Rings written by Gudas’s historical Musashi with Chaldea Staff help. Despite seemingly human, Gudas’s noted her strength wtih any Servant they encountered and summoned. Gudas then decided to help Mash in finding out the difference between the two Musashi they learned of

Kojirou soons showed up, which made Gudas reminded of their historical connection? Though doubts are there as the Kojirou summoned in Chaldea reminds he may not be the same Kojirou that encountered Musashi.

Explaining about the Book of 5 Rings to both Mash and Gudas... The two aren’t sure about their intention to summon F!Musashi. But, she is the same case as Kojirou or similar enough...

Turns out she’s still different thanks to not reaching the final layer as stated in the book, the Book of Void. Though... As they were talking, it seems something has dragged Gudas off from Chaldea... Like the same situation with Edmond Dantes.

Remained in coma, Holmes interrogated Dantes which earned definitely a glare for accusing the same trick again. Dantes left Holmes despite claiming not to help Gudas, the two begin their own to help Gudas in this parallel world

Now that awake in a different world, Gudas finally met the same F!Musashi in their dreams or an alternate world!

Section 1

After explaining how they got here with no ways to communicate to Chaldea... Both recalled the events happened in her trial quest. And also noting that if Gudas died here, it’s safe to assume they’ll die back in Chaldea as well. Additionally, both are in the same boat with Musashi arriving recently in this strange land of “Japan”.

Both begin finding either a village or river to rest while finding way out. While walking, the two stumbled to a young girl carrying her infant sibling on her back. Conversing with Onui, Musashi vaugely guess they’ve arrived during Tokugawa Shogunate period of Japan, particularly Kazusa Province...

Or that’s what supposed to be? Now in Shimosa province, but Iemitsu’s reign? Confusing messy Singularity this is.... But before they could go Onui’s house for food.... Sky darkens, and monster begin appearing... To protect the children, Musashi faces off against 2 Assassin Ghost + 1 Saber Samurai!

The sky turns back to normal after defeating the evil spirits. Musashi then notes this world she entered seems to be the worst of all she previously entered, before joining with Onui to her house.

While heading to Onui’s house... Musashi notes once more how now “bad things” showed up whenever the sky turned dark abnormally and randomly. Again another one showed up right before Musashi’s face, pissing her off further at the Singularity’s situation

Before Gudas were about to be attacked, a mysterious monk saved them. The monk then reveals himself as a Servant with True Name of Houzouin Inshun. Houzouin wonders about Musashi’s mysterious existence after seeing her fight...

And... As expected, he doesn’t believe this is also a real Musashi. Look Houzouin, if anything, just point your spear at DW needing to fetishize every heroic spirit into female.

Right they were to go further in comparing two Musashis history... We’ve got company again. Welp, so much for having a law during Edo period. Depending either Houzouin or Musashi picked for support... Time to see who wins against 5 Assassin Evil Spirits!

And Houzouin wins the match! Or at least she hates losing, so it’s a tie? Houzouin is now convinced that F!Musashi is still the real Musashi from complicated matters.

Once explained to Houzouin from the beginning... It’s back to the same thing with Servants showing up in Singularity. Houzouin has no idea who or what has summoned him since 2 days ago.

Believed to have a Holy Grail like every Singularity, a new quest decided by Gudas to find the Grail and end this Singularity. Houzouin also then noted how M!Musashi wouldn’t help Gudas for free unlike F!Musashi decided.

But first thing first... Time to get Onui and Tasuke home safely before the next set of evil spirits showed up again.

Switching to an eerie temple.... The strange sorcerer revealed their motive of summoning 7 different Heroic Spirits in order to destroy this Singularity. Caster of Limbo also revealed of an additional Curse of Annihilation embedded in the Heroic Spirits... Which begins the plan of turning the sky to crimson

As noted that Crimson moon makes thing worse, the group quickly make haste to bring Onui and Tasuke to safety.... Which unfortunately, they got surrounded by the evil spirits.

However, with Gudas’s command seal glowing... You can now use your own Servants to fight against 5 Assassin Evil Spirits + 1 Black Saber Samurai!!

Slaying them down one by one... We’re good! Thanks to earlier fight of Musashi and Houzouin, Gudas gotten their ability back to use their Command Seal again. However, a strange Female Archer showed up and attacked the crew. Along with the six Heroic Spirit Swordmasters appearing before them...

Assassin of Paraiso, Inferno Archer, Rider of Karasutra Hell, Berserker of Samghata Hell, a mysterious Swordsman and Caster Limbo... Yep, things just perfectly turned for the worst!

Targeting Houzouin for some reason, Gudas and crew are defintely outnumbered! But reluctantly, Gudas followed Houzouin’s order of him as a decoy with his Noble Phantasm while they ran for safety.

Fighting against the swordsman alone while the rest watches... But unfortunately even with fatal blow, Houzouin lost to Saber of Empireo. Bound by Caster of Limbo’s spell... Houzouin had become one of them!!

Section 3 & 4 (DISCONTINUED)

Admittedly... I lost all that I wrote and I’m lazy to rewrite them. Because it took until my phone battery nearly died out.

But... FUCK YOU TUMBLR! So next time, it’ll be like this until tumblr settle its shit

[fragmentsofchaldea]

I don’t know if this falls under ‘no spoilers questions’ but will the Shimosa singularity be happening this year?

Depending on how many fragments I can push out, likely case.

EOR Shimosa Singularity: Chapter 9~Chapter 11

Actually on second thought... After that announcement in the livestream... This is going to delay again in finishing. Because I really need my sanity in that grinding hell for Fate CCC collab. Been seeing comments on this event... Technically, it’s supposed to be “easier” as a rerun. But because this is my first event for both version... This is gonna be nasty!

Section 9

First arrow is story mode, so that can be ignored. Second arrow gives you 5 lancer boar + 1 giant Orochi to kill

Third arrow has a mini boss fight with Kiyohime + 1 giant Orochi mob with her. There's no gimmicks for this fight, so bring either an AOE Saber/Berserker to wipe both of them out

Finally at the last arrow, the final round with third major boss of the story... Assassin Paradise. Again, you're forced in another NPC locked battle using Musashi as support.

Gimmicks:

Assassin Paradise's Normal Attacks inflicts Attack Down to your Servants (Permanent Buff)

HP Break: At the end of every turn, one random frontline Servant has a chance of getting Stunned for 1 turn. This buff is UNREMOVABLE and last for 5 turns.

If you have Assassin Paradise before starting Shimosa, both her True Name and NP Name will be revealed: Mochizuki Chiyome

Section 10

While first arrow, we're back with fighting mobs of 5 Lancer boars + 1 Samurai mob. Again, it's peace before the next storm. So grind all the bond points you need!

Third arrow & final arrow... It's your first round fighting the fourth major boss of this singularity: Katasutra Hell Rider and Samghata Hell Berserker aka Rider Raikou + Berserker Shuten Doji

There's no gimmicks in this, you'll need to break EITHER one of their HP bar to end the fight.

Section 11

A breather chapter to grind for bond before the next major boss fight in the next chapter... First arrow gives you 6 Lancer Boars + 3 ghost mobs

Second arrow with 3 lancer boar + 1 Berserker Oni

And last arrow, 2 Lancer boars + 3 ghost + 1 giant Orochi. Hope you managed to get all those bond points... Again, next chapter is considered one of the worst nightmare in this Singularity!

I’ll stop here, because I feel like strangling THIS ENTIRE FUCKING GIMMICK OF NPC LOCKED AND CHIYOME’S FIGHT! FUCKING HELL, UNREMOVABLE STUN FOR 5 TURNS!! The next one will be even worse, so I’m stopping here until SE.RA.PH hell beat the shit out of me to continue

[fgodestinyawakenings]

EOR Shimosa Singularity: Chapter 12~Chapter 14

I’m on dead week after completing Part 2 of CCC event... And I got BB so there’s a good reason to go back to completing Shimosa right?

Well, I’m not fucking happy with this. Good news, I’ve completed Shimosa too so time to grind out those free SQs! Both Yagyu and Danzo are finally able to spook me on story gacha! But... I’m fucking pissed at a fight on the next post after this... FUCK YOU DW, OPEN YOUR DOOR, I’m GOING TO STRANGLE YOU NOW!

Chapter 12

First arrow, a visual story mode before your one last sort of break before the final round against the fourth & fifth boss

... I went blind in thinking the fight will end once you get rid of Shuten. But actually... Your priority is still Shuten that’s blocking you from clearing the Orochi mob. Not really blocking, but an obstacle in completing this one

Her gimmicks is by hitting her until a certain HP, or for safety, clearing her whole first HP bar... She will retreat, leaving you to fight the Orochi mob itself. Thankfully, the Orochi itself doesn’t have any gimmicks. Bring an AOE Saber for this to wipe both of them out, or 1 AOE + ST Saber with the latter for Shuten to get rid of her

Third arrow, is finally your final round with both fourth and fifth boss of this Singularity: Shuten + Raikou. As per usual on every main boss fight, NPC Musashi is stuck onto your party

Gimmicks:

Shuten

Permanent Buff : Drain's NP gauge on normal attacks.

HP Break: Permanent Debuff Immunity [Unremovable]

Raikou

Permanent Buff : Drain's the number of stars on normal attacks.

HP Break: Unremovable Critical Damage Up for 5 turns

Definitely your priority first to kill is Shuten, not only her gimmicks but skill set, NP and own class affinity will kill your whole team. Raikou can more or less be manageable to handle once Shuten is out. So bring your strongest AOE or Trait-damaging NP/Skill Servant to kill them

Lastly, the final arrow of this chapter ends with a small break from the boss fight, so free SQ!

Chapter 13

With two arrows only, first arrow gives you one last break before a mob fight on the next

Second arrow is giving you 6 Assassin Ghost + 3 Lancer Boars in the first wave, and second wave with 3 Samurai Sabers coming at you. Do bring your good team to grind bond points

Chapter 14

With the whole map changed suddenly by the story, this is where difficulty finally spike up!

First arrow with 3 Assassin ghost + 1 cursed Oni. Defeat them and grind for bond on your Servant!

Second arrow, another good grinding quest for bond points with 3 Lancer boars + 1 giant Lancer Orochi

Third arrow gives 3 assassin ghost + 3 samurai Saber + 1 Berserker Oni before a mini boss fight in the next arrow...

In the fourth arrow, the first wave gives you 2 Assassin Ghost + 1 Lancer Boar before facing Kato Danzo. Kato herself doesn’t have any gimmicks for her boss fight, her skill set revolves defensive buff of targetable evasion and invincibility with one buster & quick buff

Her AOE NP deals extra damage towards Demonic enemies, try not to bring any Demonic Caster with you... Especially realizing I brought Caster Shuten OTL Anything else, this boss shouldn’t be that difficult to handle!

Fifth arrow before the six main boss, 5 assassin ghost + 1 Saber Samurai in first wave, 5 boar + 1 Berserker Oni in the second, and lastly 1 giant Lancer Orochi. Quite a mix of class, but at this point you already got a hang on how to deal with them

Finally the sixth arrow, dealing with Caster Limbo... Or in FGO Materials, True Name: Alter Ego Ashiya Douman. This first round against him (because around LB4 or so, you’ll be facing him in his proper class), he’s in his Caster class as a giant ghost.

Again, you’re forced to use NPC Musashi for this fight as well!

Gimmicks:

Permanent Buff: AOE Normal Attacks has Chance to Inflict a Decreased Healing Power, NP Gain Rate Down and a Star Generation Rate Down Debuff for 1 turn.

Skill: Debuff all party members with Defense Down and MAX HP Down.

HP Break: Front-line Servants has a high Chance of Receiving a NP Damage Down

NP: AOE NP that deals powerful damage and drains NP gauge by 20%.

While ST Riders and Alter Ego are preferred in this fight... Do beware of his constant spamming of debuff stacking. They are removable but debuff remover is more preferred if you’re able to borrow to do proper healing on your Servants

I’ll end here, and continue tomorrow with the other half of completing this singularity. My Command Seal is wasted for that next fight in that next post... I’M JUST THAT FUCKING PISSED WITH THAT BULLSHIT GIMMICK! FUCK YOU OLD MAN!!

[fgodestinyawakenings]

EOR Shimosa Singularity: Chapter 5~Chapter 8

One day break because went out the whole afternoon for business and getting some stuff... I wanted to continue, but rushing to meet my friend at the concert area to pass her stuff wasted all of my energy of the day OTL And now, back to this disgusting Camelot EOR again because this is halfway completed! OTL

Chapter 5

A mini boss fight in the first arrow which thankfully, you're not NPC-locked to Musashi. Both Tamamo and Kiyohime uses extra attack instead of their NP. But don't let your guard down since Kiyohime's own attack as Berserker still hurts

While the second arrow gives you a Visual Story mode break, third arrow gives you opportunity to grind for bond points!

Fourth arrow... You're fighting the first round of the second major Boss: Archer of Inferno. But before that, you'll need to bring one AOE Saber to wipe the front two waves before dealng with her

She has no gimmicks for this first round, but be careful of her ST NP damage that inflict not only burn status, it also increase the burn damage on your Servant

Chapter 6

First arrow gives you another short break with Visual Story mode. Second arrow again gives you another good opportunity to grind for bond points with 7 ghost mobs

So does the third arrow, with 6 lancer boars + 3 assassin ghost mobs. Also, if you have chosen the new NPC, it's revealed to be Kato Danzo.

Fourth and final arrow... Where you fight with Archer of Inferno the second and final time. As this time again, Musashi is NPC-locked in this major boss fight

With 2 HP gimmicks, her first gimmick is permanent buff of when normmal attack, she can inflict burn status of 100 HP per turn on your Servants. With the game UI updates, burn debuff can stack!

She also has a mental debuff immunity, but it's not immune to Mystic Code's Stun.

But on her HP break, she'll debuff your frontline Servants a Burn Status that inflicts 2k HP per turn.

As EOR gimmick on the Servants, if you have gotten Archer of Inferno before starting this Singularity. Her NP name and True Name will be revealed: Tomoe Gozen

Chapter 7

Despite it supposedly to be a break... You're forced in this single arrow fight of using Musashi alone to fight Fuuma Koutaro and his clone aka Shadow Servants

Chapter 8

Another mini boss fight in the first arrow with Soul Eater, Kato Danzo and Kiyohime. There's no gimmicks for this fight, so bring your best AOE Caster to wipe them out!

Second arrow finally gives you the supposed break with going back to dealing against 5 assassin ghost mobs. Another good break to grind for bond points!

But the third arrow, you're fighting the first round of the third Major Boss: Assassin Paradise

While her NP is extra attack, her skillset has the tendency to either debuff one of your Servant with NP seal or buffing herself with giving curse debuff when normal attack for 3 turns. Also, she has an evasion that gives unexpected NP charge by 1 tick

However, this isn't NPC-locked to Musashi so bring your best ST NP Caster to defeat her!

I’m taking a break here again because fighting Tomoe just nearly shit myself... THANK GOD FOR HERC-CHAN’S FINAL CRIT IN HIS BUSTER BRAVE CHAIN KILLED HER BEFORE SHE USES HER NP OTL

Definitely not looking forward to Assassin Paradise’s boss fight because her gimmicks in the wiki just made Tomoe Gozen’s fight looked more easier OTL

[fgodestinyawakenings]

EOR Shimosa Singularity: Chapter 1~Chapter 4

I'd like more SQs and this is definitely the first worst decision I've made of the year... Plus, I'd like old man Munenori to spook me since he's story-locked based! At least another Arts ST NP Saber to pair with Lancelot together for boss battle :D

And... For that one boss, my Rider Servants choice isn't as fantastic as I had in NA. So, I'm doing casually... If LB4 comes next, I'm pausing this just to complete LB4 first before returning

Now then, let's start... THE CAMELOT VER OF EOR SINGULARITY!

Section 1

Instantly your first chapter and first arrow... You're already locked in to use Musashi only to win this. The enemies wise since this is the first NPC fight for eventual subsequent singularities + lostbelt. The enemies are tutorial level, but do prepare healing/invincibilty when needed to keep her alive

Samurai mob has an ignore evasion so Atlas uniform may preferred to keep her alive

Second arrow, again another NPC fight. This time you can pick either Musashi or, the new Lancer Servant Hozoin Inshun, to defeat the ghost mobs

Section 2

Now that in this chapter you're free to use your Servant and Friend support... All Servants under the Knight Class (Saber, Archer & Lancer) will have a bond bonus! So take this chance to raise them when clearing the mobs :D

This chapter only has 5 ghost and 1 giant Saber Samurai... Yeah, Lancelot isn't the choice to bring him here OTL

Second arrow is visual story mode... And you earned yourself another SQ from this! XD

Section 3

*deeps breath* And here... We have our first round of the first boss fight

First arrow, you're not NPC-locked, so you're still free to choose your support to bring in. Lancer Purgatorio aka Houzouin Inshun doesn't have any multi-HP layer or weird gimmicks in the first round. If you have used him in the first chapter for NPC fight... His NP buff himself with increase attack and critical damage + evasion for 1 time

Second arrow, a short break from fighting Hozoin. You are dealing with 5 ghosts and 1 samurai mobs in this. The third arrow is visual story mode, so one last break before the final arrow in this chapter...

Fourth arrow, the first major boss fight and subsequent ones where you'll be NPC-locked with Musashi. And here, is where his Multi-HP layer and gimmicks comes in. And, one of the boss fight not recommended to grind for bond points unless you can OTL

He has a permanent buff that when attacking, he'll buff himself with critical chance increased for 2 turns. Upon HP break, he gains another permanent buff of healing 3k HP every turn.

Section 4

After that first boss fight... We now have one chapter to rest from that hectic fight. The first arrow is visual story mode...

Second arrow has you fighting 5 lancer demon boar mobs as breather. So take this chance to rest and grind your Servant bond points :D

I’ll stop here because I want Moon Goddess’s grind fest to cleanse my soul from this... It’s only the first quarter of Shimosa, and I’m NOT looking forward to next coming boss fight in this! OTL

[fragmentsofchaldea]

Tell me, with so many Japanese Servants that will appear on your Chaldea, do you happen to consider making your Sub-Singularty version of Parallel World Shimosa with only Japanese Servants in action to stay in a purely Japanese environment or is it going to vary a bit?

It’ll likely vary a bit, but that’s still a long way down the road. How I handle the EORs is also still up in the air. Full-fledged retellings take up a lot of time I feel could best be spent on the core series anyway (especially since the EORs are so well encapsulated and written to begin with). Again, we’ll see how they’ll be handled.
