NPC is so strong that even enemy boss didn't get their turn.

[@kieranwrightstone2199]

Honestly considering his identity and his construction of the four Olga Marie’s to remake her we probably should have seen this coming. The Count’s birth name is Giuseppe Balsamo yet his identity as summoned as a Pretender is what he called himself starting from his 20’s. He was many things, a definite occultist and a key member of the Freemasons in Europe, a physician who used his fortune to open hospitals and orphanages all over Europe, a known collaborator with Saint-Germain and one of the two are the authors of the alchemy book The Most Holy Trinsophia, and a master forger and conman whose skills were legendary even if he can’t read the language. CHALDEAS really summoned quite the tricky Disciple to deal with this time.

[@StarBoy0204]

1:22 is that ZEUS at the top?! And all those things in the background…why do they look so…familiar…

[@Liolaeusu]

I don't know Japanese, but it seems Cagliostro turned himself into an amalgamation of all MC's trauma: Cern's hands , Koyan's tails and Zeus face just to say few of them

[@natchu96]

It's a forest of demon god pillar fantasy trees with Zeus heads coming out of them and ORT where the galaxy should be. And attacks with cernunnos hands and beams from various bosses...

[@elizabethkblanco4620]

Yup!

[@Slayerofall21]

Did that guy just absorb Zeus and some Demon Pillars?

He's basically trying to totally break the MC using a buildup of all their past traumas and fears. Cernunnos, Zeus, the demon pillars, etc, it's all fair game.

[@davidfleming6792]

people keep saying its Gudao's traumas, but it really isn't. Its "malignant information" from the defeated enemies, from Dantès Interlude: "They are remnants of dreams, shadows, and illusions. Dark things piled up deep within your soul. In a way, this is your... trash heap. The regrets, resentments, and shattered wishes of the myriad enemies you've defeated. Yes, that's right... everything from love to hatred."

[@StarBoy0204]

What did he do…how on earth did he absorb Zeus, some Demon Pillars & Fantasy Trees?

[@kziila0244]

Apparently, they are the cumulation of all the trauma MC suffered.

[@gwagner1380]

He used Guda trauma and made a monster out of it. You have beams from different enemies. Ort as the galaxy in the amalgamation Fantasy Tree/Demon Pillar with Koyan tails, Zeus Head and Cernunnos hands as attacks to name a few. Dude tried to use everything that has traumatized us as his winning condition and failed miserably in the process.

Does Cagliostro truly defeated? I feel like since we never see his other ascensions, it's a sign that we will see him again, alongside with Kotomine Kirei that is.

[@therenegade4482]

Not really, there’s a lot of servants that we never see their ascensions. Most likely they’re saving the banner with the count

[@owo4288]

We have his NP and animation. Not to mention he is confirmed to be 4*. So yeah 2nd banner with ST Dantes.

[@alessandrosimonguerreroseg8651]

My 2 cents is that in this oc we only beat and get his 4* version that act as alter, and in the next chapters we gonna get him a 5* star version of him. Gonna be weird if his the only apostol thats not 5* but then again could intentional to imply something else.

[@therenegade4482]

[@naiRISE766]

*reads description* Man I miss LB5.2 when the game didn't played itself for me

[@Randomguy-gj7oh]

Let me guess you didn't do lb6 yet

[@naiRISE766]

​@@Randomguy-gj7ohI have done it on 2 accounts in JP. The fights are fine, the peaks are high(Morgan and Cernunos) but not as consistently good throughout like Olympus was. It also really liked putting 60 NPCs in your party slot like Calamity of Norwhich, Big Barghest and NP Spam Melusine to name a few.

[@naiRISE766]

Also I get this you haven't played lb6 thing a lot. People really prefer fighting random mobs with occasional good fights over 5.2's constantly throwing a boss at you it seems.

[@justawanderingoldman7699]

More like they want to incorporate the story into the fight. So it will be a lore accurate fight instead of the usual double Castoria, Skadi, or Koyanskaya lol. This is the story mode, so I guess they want to maximize the RPG element here. So in this case, they want to highlight the point that "even when facing your worst trauma, you can still overcome it quite easily if you don't give up on hope", as it is the main theme in this chapter. They save the real gaming parts for events and challenge quest. Or when it actually lore accurate to be a power showdown, like ORT fight for example.

[@Gspoink]

​​@@naiRISE766I mean... in quantity lb6 also have moIre unique bosses than 5.2, there arre just more gaps between the fights. You could say that made it less consistently good, but it's also just more content in general. For details, lb6 has Norwich hands, TL gawain, Woodwose, TL lancelot, Morgan, Albion, Barghest, Cerny, and Oberon. Only count actual fights with quality here. Some goons fights also has nice fun gimmicks that doesn't make them just unbearable. Olympus has Taloses, Demeter, Aphrodite, Dioscuri, Europa, Zeus, Caenis, Kirschtaria. Goons fights way less, but all frustrating because it's all the same. I don't mind npc sub in lb6 since they were actually half decent. Yeah Barghest and Lancelot are the worst contenders but they still ain't a handhold(whatever you mean at original comment) and ain"t allat frustrating too. Can't say the same about Olympus unironically, that damn Caenis on Demeter fight will always be a war crime. But at the end, I'm gonna say that you're right about this chapter. This chapter is full of goon nodes and repeated fights, and the boss fights are full of stacked force subs. Easier than lb4... if you have good avenger looper because they decided every non-avenger servants deals less damage in every nodes. And the node number rivals camelot in frustration. There's like only 1 good boss fight in Id lol.
