Description:
A few months after the fall of Almata, Edith has a new threat on its hands. A serial killer resembling Van's Grendel form is on the loose, which makes Van the prime suspect. Van has to work with various allies, including a familiar pair of ex-assassins, in order to clear his name and put an end to this evil version of Grendel.

0:00 Recap
0:23 Zolga's Identity
Grendel Zolga is actually a recreation of Dingo Brad, which the 8th Genesis performed the split second when he died. His regret over not being able to save the citizens of Creil caused him to be chosen as the observer of humanity's sins. I'm not sure how sin is supposed to be defined. In Dingo's case, it probably refers to him being fooled by Gerard's lies in Messeldam. For everyone else, it's succumbing to misinformation via corrosion to make them do terrible things. As long as the 8th Genesis wants to observe humanity's sin, the bad ends will happen anyways.
Writers try not to use magic brainworms as an allegory for misinformation challenge: impossible.
20:48 Boss: Grendel Zolga SiN
After hitting HP thresholds, he will damage the whole party and force action-based combat. You won't be able to activate shards until enough time passes, but at around the same time, Zolga will be able to use his own charged attack to get an advantage. You can use your own charged attack to negate his charged attack, and then chain shard activation to the end of your charged attack.
34:59 Boss: Grendel Zolga
Somehow, his regular form is stronger, which is why Van gets perma-Grendel. However, once you deal enough damage, Zolga does some BS.
40:44 Boss: Van & Elaine vs Grendel Zolga
You don't get to have Grendel for this, but Zolga's stats are a bit weaker to compensate.
45:35 Boss: Van, Agnes, Feri, & Aaron vs Ghoul Aida & Tyrant
49:01 Boss: Van, Risette, Quatre, & Judith vs Demon Dantes & Melchior
53:46 Boss: Grendel Zolga
This time, Zolga's S-Craft doesn't inflict All-Cancel. He'll automatically use his S-Craft at 1 HP, but Van will counter with his own S-Craft.
1:05:26 Dingo's Sendoff
Rufus and Lapis somehow get Marielle into the final dungeon so she can talk to Dingo one last time.
1:15:26 Aramis Festival
1:25:38 Credits
1:31:36 Back to Marchen Garten
Turns out there's still something wrong with the deeper floors. Zin and Fie will be joining. They don't benefit from EOTM though, so they might be a tad weaker than the rest of the party.
