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.

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.

  • 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.

  • defeat
  • ring
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.

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

  • demon gods
  • solomon

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.
