Overview
- Before your eyes, there is a grotesque, writhing beast... the would-be destroyer of worlds; the Calamity itself! Your knuckles whiten on your weapons. Noticing your presence, the Calamity whirls its tentacles towards you... And, with a shrill, keening shriek from the Calamity, your ultimate battle now begins!
The Yggdrasil Core of Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight serves as the final boss of the Ginnungagap dungeon, and the final boss of Story Mode.
Known to Lagaard as "the Calamity", the Yggdrasil Core shares origins with that from Etria, being part of the Yggdrasil Project and mutated from absorption of the pollution on the planet. To prevent it from wreaking havoc, the Core was sealed within Ginnungagap. Every hundred years, a ritual would be performed to renew the seal, where a Fafnir Knight inherits the power of the Black Guardian, giving up their life force to keep the Core in containment.
With the ritual going awry leads to the irreversible weakening of the seal, the dungeon would fall into ruins, and the ritual would prove unsustainable. The previous Black Guardian, transferring all her power to the Fafnir Knight, directs the party to meet with the Overlord, who has continued his research within the Heavenly Keep in pursuit of a new way to vanquish the Core. With the power of the Holy Grail bestowed upon them, the party does battle with the Core, leading to the Fafnir Knight using the Grail himself to singlehandedly destroy it.
