Q1

Why does Goetia want to destroy humanity?

Goetia, who is Solomon himself, wants to create a new world without death. He plans to absorb energy from the genesis of the planet to forge this new world. His goal is essentially to eliminate mortality entirely, even if it means erasing all of human history and the current humanity to achieve this eternal existence.

  • solomon
  • destruction
  • immortality
  • death
Q2

Who is Goetia in Fate/Grand OrderGoetia is the Beast of Calamity?

and the true identity of Solomon. He is the master behind the demon-kingdom's machinations and the one who orchestrated the Incineration of Humanity. Rather than being a separate entity, Goetia is essentially Solomon who chose to pursue immortality and the destruction of humanity to create a world without death.

Foreshadowing: Lev Lainur Flauros reveals he has served Solomon for 3000 years, hinting at Solomon's true nature.

  • goetia
  • solomon
  • beast
  • identity
Q3

What is Ars Nova and how does it defeat Goetia?

Ars Nova is Solomon's third Noble Phantasm that strips beings of their immortality. When the true Solomon returns and manifests in full, he uses Ars Nova to tear apart Goetia's immortality, making the Beast mortal again. This sacrifice allows Ritsuka to defeat the now-vulnerable Goetia.

  • ars nova
  • noble phantasm
  • solomon
  • immortality
Q4

Why does Mash sacrifice herself in Solomon?

Mash uses her Noble Phantasm Lord Camelot to shield Ritsuka from Goetia's Ars Almadel Salomonis attack. The protective shield vaporizes Mash, leaving only a remnant of her defense. Her sacrifice is necessary to protect Ritsuka from the full destructive force of Solomon's attack, which would have killed him otherwise.

Foreshadowing: The timeline notes that Mash shields Ritsuka with Lord Camelot at great personal cost, foreshadowing her sacrifice.

Q5

How does Romani help defeat Goetia?

Romani arrives at the critical moment and reveals Solomon's tenth ring, proving the true Solomon has returned. By removing his gloves and showing the ring, Romani enables Solomon to abandon his wish to become human and manifest in full. Solomon then uses Ars Nova to strip Goetia of immortality, sacrificing himself in the process.

Foreshadowing: Romani spent a decade preparing for the Incineration, showing his long-hidden connection to Solomon.

  • goetia
  • defeat

Q6

Why is the Time Temple made of Demon Gods?

The Time Temple is revealed to be composed entirely of Demon Gods, with seventy-two Demon Gods existing as long as the Solomon's Throne remains. This is because the Time Temple was created from Solomon's own Magic Circuits, essentially transforming his magical essence into the foundation of the temple itself.

Foreshadowing: Flauros explains that Demon Gods are implanted in mage lineages and awaken at their appointed era.

  • demon gods
  • solomon
  • magic circuits
Q7

What happens when the true Solomon returns?

When Romani reveals Solomon's tenth ring, the true Solomon abandons his wish to become human and manifests in full. He then uses Ars Nova to strip Goetia of immortality, sacrificing himself in the process. This act defeats Goetia by removing his immortality, making him mortal and vulnerable to defeat by Ritsuka.

Foreshadowing: Romani reasons that Solomon cannot be fake because the Time Temple was created from Solomon's Magic Circuits.

  • true solomon
  • return
  • goetia
  • sacrifice
Q8

Why does Flauros keep resurrecting?

Flauros is a Demon God who can resurrect immediately after being killed. When Ritsuka and Mash kill Flauros, he simply taunts them and is reborn. This is because the Demon Gods are tied to the Throne - as long as the Throne remains, the seventy-two Demon Gods will continue to exist and resurrect.

  • resurrection
  • demon god
  • throne
Q9

What is Ars Almadel Salomonis?

Ars Almadel Salomonis is one of Solomon's three Noble Phantasms. It is a powerful incineration attack that threatens to destroy the Heroic Spirits. Solomon notes that as long as Ritsuka exists, the Servants will keep returning, making this attack necessary to eliminate the last Master of Humanity and end the threat permanently.

  • ars almadel salomonis
  • noble phantasm
  • incineration
Q10

Why do Ritsuka and Mash see the vision of suffering during their Rayshift?

During their Rayshift to the Singularity, Ritsuka and Mash witness a grim vision of endless suffering endured by clairvoyants. They interpret this as a mandate to fix the world by starting from nothing, even if it means destroying humanity. This vision drives their resolve to rebuild the planet from its origin, drawing energy from a cataclysm over 3000 years ago.

  • ritsuka
  • mash
  • vision
  • rayshift
  • suffering
Q11

How many Noble Phantasms does Solomon have?

Solomon reveals three Noble Phantasms: Ars Nova, Ars Paulina, and Ars Almadel Salomonis. Ars Paulina controls the afterlife, Ars Almadel Salomonis is used for incineration, and Ars Nova strips immortality. Each represents a different aspect of Solomon's magical authority over life, death, and existence.

  • solomon
  • noble phantasm
  • ars nova
  • ars paulina
  • ars almadel salomonis
Q12

Does Mash survive in the Solomon ending?

Mash is vaporized while protecting Ritsuka with Lord Camelot from Goetia's Ars Almadel Salomonis attack. However, at the end, Mash returns to save Ritsuka and bring him back to Chaldea to celebrate their victory. She survives the sacrifice, though the exact mechanism of her return is not detailed in the timeline.
