A Blade Fiend's Fathoms is the Story Dungeon of Intervallo III: Yield My Flesh to Claim Their Bones, and the second Dungeon to be tied to an event.

Overview

A Blade Fiend's Fathoms works like a one-Floor Mirror Dungeon, with an initial fixed event node, seven (7) nodes that alternate between Combat Encounters and Dungeon Events, another fixed event node for fusing E.G.O Gifts, and a final Boss node against Distorted Bamboo-hatted Kim. Notably, there is no Shop node.

The Dungeon also includes a Hard Difficulty, added for Yield My Flesh to Claim Their Bones' Bokgak Event. The Hard Difficulty Dungeon functions almost identically to the Normal Difficulty version, but with battles against lvl 50 enemies with altered Skills, and additional Hard Difficulty-exclusive E.G.O Gifts and Choice Events.

Enemies

Encounters in A Blade Fiend's Fathoms comprise of enemies encountered throughout the rest of Intervallo III-2.

The final node always consists of a battle against Distorted Bamboo-hatted Kim.

E.G.O Gifts

Unique E.G.O Gifts (Normal Difficulty)

Seven Dungeon Events exclusive to the A Blade Fiend's Fathoms are available at event nodes, with nine obtainable unique E.G.O Gifts. Additionally, three regular E.G.O Gifts are obtainable as rewards from an exclusive Dungeon Event.

"It's us Kurokumo Clan's turf from here on out."
"Is it that hard for you to understand that you gotta pay the toll to use our road? Huh?"
People dressed in Kurokumo Clan garb stand in the way of unarmed civilians, threatening them.
"... I suppose that excuse was enough for them to tread on our territory as well."
Aeng-du does not hide her indignation. She is gritting her teeth.
What should we do about them?

Save the civilians.

"Damn it..."
"What the hell happened?! I thought we'd driven them all away!"
After a grueling battle, [Sinner] and Aeng-du managed to defeat or drive away the Kurokumo Clan henchmen. But...
"... Ach."
Perhaps Aeng-du hadn't fully recovered yet. She ended up suffering some damage from the skirmish.
[Sinner] also seems to have taken some hits while protecting wounded Aeng-du.
"My apologies..."
Aeng-du muttered through gritted teeth. There was a tinge of shame in her voice.


The selected Sinner took 30 HP damage

"Thank you, thank you so much..."
The civilians, freed from the threat of the Kurokumo Clan, each bow and give us their thanks.
"But... You're not dressed like a local."
"If you don't mind us prying... who might you be?"

Say that you're just passing by.
"Huhh...?"
The civilians appear puzzled.
"You're just... 'passing by' with this many people behind you?"
Maybe I should've given my answer more thought before replying...
"Why would you help us if you don't have anything to do with the Kurokumo Clan...?"
They looked at each other, clearly perplexed.
"T-thank you anyways."
"Sa-safe travels to you!"
With that, they hurriedly left the scene.

Nothing Happened.
Say that you're with the Blade Lineage.

"The Bl-bl-the—"
The civilians immediately kneeled before us and bowed profusely. Their voices tremble as they plead.
"We're sorry, We're so sorry!"
"Please, have mercy... Don't kill us...!"
In a flustered attempt, [Sinner] tries to tell them that we have no cause nor intent to hurt them; but they refuse to listen.
"T-take this, at least..."
They raised their hands with the utmost deference. In their hands was what appeared to be a book.
Taking a closer look at it, we realized that what they handed us was a filled ledger with black covers.
"Please, forgive us! That's all we have with us at the moment..."
Try as we might to help them to their feet, the fear has already rooted them firmly to the ground. They don't even dare to raise their heads.
... We had no choice but to leave them as they were.

"... That's one nasty joke, fellas~"
Maybe [Sinner] sounded awkward when they claimed to be from the Blade Lineage. The civilian's eyebrow twitched for a brief second before he burst into laughter.
"Why would they be out here, in these streets?"
"Right, right. Besides, why'd they ever help us? We just turned a blind eye when they—"
"Hey now! Shh, watch your mouth!"
"Ah!"
After an exchange none of us had enough context for, they suddenly snapped as though they realized we were still standing right here.
"W-well then... Thank you for the help anyway!"
"But don't say something like that, even as a joke! You never know what'll happen..."
With that, the civilians hurriedly left the scene.
This did nothing but bring down our mood, did it...


The selected Sinner lost 10 SP

Turn a blind eye.
"Another day, another mugging in the City."
One of the Sinners mutters with a sigh.
"......"
Aeng-du stands there with her eyes pleading us to do something, but does not step forward.
We should avoid unnecessary battles...
... if we are to survive the coming challenges and face Distorted Bamboo-hatted Kim who awaits us at the end of this path.
This left a bad taste in our mouths as we ignored the commotion and walked away.

Rusted Hilt

Rusted Hilt MD Event.png

"This must be a tavern..."
This bar or an inn is bustling, and its patrons are energetically chattering away. They all seem to be in a rather good mood.
A trio among the crowd is quite boisterously arguing and pointing fingers at each other.
"No, NO! I don't understand why this is even a matter of dispute! A blade is a weapon made for cutting, and the 'right' way to use a blade is to slash with it."
"You don't know what you're talking about! Stab a single point with all your might, and your foe shall surely fall!"
"... You're both wrong. Your half-hearted cuts and stabs won't do anything but piss 'em off. They'll be back on their feet immediately!"
"Smack their skulls with the blunt end—hilt or the scabbard, and knock them down for good! Make 'em too dazed to get up!"
The trio appeared to be talking about something pretty serious, so we'd stopped to listen to their debate...
They suddenly turned in our direction and called over to us.
"You there! Your band can clearly handle your weapons, am I wrong?"
"Answer us. What is the best way to wield your sword?"
"Of course, to slash is the best way to use a blade, is it not?"
What should I say to that?

Right. Slashing is the way to go when wielding a blade.

"Hear, hear!"
The loudest one guffaws, raising his cup full of liquor.
"I'm not claiming that other methods are inferior! I am merely claiming that a blade, a weapon with an edge, is made to cut things!"
The other two nod in reluctant agreement.
"W-well, if you're talking about the blade and the blade part only, sure..."
"I suppose a decapitation is not so different from breaking the skull open."
"Ha! You've made my day, friend. Here, take this!"
The man who preached the superiority of Slash pats you on the back and places something in your hands.

"Hear, hear!"
The loudest one guffaws, raising his cup full of liquor.
"Yet..."
All of a sudden, he stops laughing. Then, with a terrifying look on his face, he glares at [Sinner].
"How can you, as a practitioner of the martial arts yourself, deceive yourself and refuse to tell me your true beliefs? Have you no shame?"
"Give it a rest, man! Trying to scare innocent passersby again?"
The two drinking buddies of the man drag [Sinner] to their table with a giddy look on their faces.
"I'm sure the allure of a powerful, singular Piercing strike was too much to deny! I understand, I do!"
"The feeling of a Blunt object striking and cracking open a skull... can't get enough of that, eh?"
The pair cheered [Sinner] on and filled their cup with liquor.


The selected Sinner heals 30 HP

Not true. Slash, Pierce, and Blunt all have their uses.
"Hm."
The three of them suddenly grow very obviously uncomfortable.
"That's the right answer, isn't it?"
"That's certainly the textbook answer."
"It's not like we don't know what the right answer is..."
They all take frustrated swigs from their respective cups.
"What, you think we're sitting here talking about weapons like generals preparing for war?"
"It's just a fun topic to argue about with liquor in our bellies. What a way to kill the mood with that uninspired answer..."
"Bah, forget it. Be on your way, then!"
They turned away from us and returned to drinking, clearly having lost interest.

Nothing Happened.

"This is odd... this mist is..."
I don't know when it happened, but a thick layer of mist had descended all around us.
"I have heard a tale of one such nightly stroll. In this tale, a clueless traveler heedlessly wanders into a brumous haze, and finds himself afore an otherworldly being—"
"AAAGH! Stop, stop it!"
Just as the Sinners began loudly bickering with each other, I realized that there was something hazy standing in our way.
"Is that thing... dancing?"
A mysterious thing, dressed in white, danced gracefully before us with a large blade in hand.
When it met my gaze... or, when I thought it did...
... a sheathed blade had materialized in my hand.
What does it want me to do with it?

Assume a stance like I'm about to draw the sword.

It's not an Abnormality we have to deal with, and the company never said that we had to engage them.
I should always avoid battles against unknown entities.

A weeping laughter seemed to follow me the entire way back.

We hear a pair of voices as we walk alongside a stone fence. The two travelers are both carrying blades.
"I pity the people here..."
"Well, the decision of a Wing is absolute for its feathers. There is very little they can do about it."
One of them stands out—their clothing sets them apart from the locals. Maybe they're not from around here.
"Still, to allow the Kurokumo Clan to make their way in here? That's too much."
"The Wing cares about naught else but fluttering its wings. All else becomes insignificant."
Sounds like they're talking about the current S Corp.
"More outsiders, I see. How convenient."
The pair stops in their tracks, then turns around to face us.
"The Kurokumo Clan... no. You do not wear their garb. You don't appear to be peasants seeking to make some cash in the chaos of the Backstreets, either..."
"Well, then. What do you outsiders think of the current climate?"
How should I answer this?

It's the City. That's just what happens to small fries getting mixed up in large-scale conflicts.

The sword-carrying man snickers.
"You answer with wisdom to my foolish query. Such musings hold very little significance in the City, indeed."
He laughs a little more, this time with gusto, then tears a tassel from his weapon before handing it over.
"I enjoyed your answer. If you ever find yourself in a conflict with the Blade Lineage, show them this tassel."
"It will be of some help to you, I can guarantee you that."
With that, they waved their hands and disappeared into the other direction.

"True words indeed."
They both nod.
"But I don't suppose you are wise or capable enough to speak such wisdom from your heart."
The two smile awkwardly before turning around and leaving.
Left all alone, [Sinner] looked down to the ground with a sad look on their face.


The selected Sinner loses 20 SP

I have no thoughts regarding the matter. A pity, though.
"A pity, you say..."
The sword-carrying man crosses his arms, then sighs.
"Sure, I suppose that's one way of looking at it. A thought must remain free, indeed."
"Yet, if you have no thoughts regarding the matter, do understand that to feel pity may be a sin of its own."
The pair walks away. They both wear a dark expression.

Shimmering blue letters float before you.
The way that these similar words are ordered makes it difficult to understand what it's trying to say.
To say what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong is not right,
but that is not to say that to say what is wrong is right and right is wrong is wrong.
To say that what is wrong is right and right is wrong is not wrong,
and to say that what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong is, in turn, to say that this wrong is right.

Worn Hilt Choice

"Is this a tavern?"

We walk into what seems to be a bar of sorts, its guests rowdily drinking and chatting about in groups.

We find a seat to relax, but another group that was sitting nearby approaches us.

"What's going on here? I haven't seen your faces around here before…"

"This is a good day, boys—let this one slide. Don't stir up unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, dame! Of course, dame!"

That's when we realize that they're all carrying swords with them.

Swords engraved with elaborate cloud patterns.

"Did you hear about that new Syndicate that sprang up today?"

"Ah, the… the group that primarily uses spears, right…?"

"Dumbasses. Swords are the most superior form of weaponry there is, the apex of arms. And they use spears instead?

"Let's all be completely honest here, guys. Sure, we're a Thumb subsidiary, but there's just something badass about a sword, huh? Way cooler than fists or guns."

"Good thing we have these fine people here to give us a most fair assessment on the superiority of swords.

We feel their gaze simultaneously turning to look at us.

Are swords really all that, though?
"Let's put 'em six feet under. Let's go."

"Tsk, it's not like we seriously think that swords are actually the best weapons in the world."

"Look around ya, see anyone without a sword? Learn to read the room."

"Looks like you pissed off my boys. Would it have hurt to pretend to go along with them?"

"I think I'll head out now. Remember what I said earlier—don't start trouble and leave them alone."

"Yes, dame!"

As soon as the person who appeared to be their leader left the room, things became a lot more tense all of a sudden…

We quietly and carefully excused ourselves and left the place.

Nothing happened.
Swords are indeed the king of all weapons. Hail!

"Now ain't that the truth!"

"Ha ha! Yeah, it's not like we're saying that other weapons suck. It's just that there's something really cool about swords, am I right?"

"Blades are indeed quite impressive to look at. Am I right, boys?"

The bar fills with cheers and hollers of its patrons at [Sinner]'s decision.

Just as we were about to bid them goodbye, after sharing our passionate thoughts on this particular brand of bladed instruments…

… the woman who appeared to be their leader left something on the desk.

"Thank you for indulging them. Why don't you take these with you, for your troubles?"

"The king of weapons, huh? That's cool, but… I think you laid it on a little thick with the compliments."

"Yeah… almost like your heart's just not in it."

"Yeah, did you really have to hail it, too?"

Maybe [Sinner] went a bit overboard with compliments.

Some of them are looking over at us with an awkward expression.

"Well… alright. I get what you mean. Swords are indeed the best, hm?"

Their boss pours [Sinner] a drink.

It must've been unexpectedly delicious; [Sinner] quickly emptied the cup.


The selected Identity healed for 30 HP!

Hardwood Liquor Cup Choice

Walking along the stone brick wall, we hear a pair of voices conversing.

"I understand that you've been having some trouble as of late."

"We would not have had any troubles with the tributes if those Blade Lineage bastards had not suddenly appeared in our turf, sir…"

The outfit of one of the pair stands out.

I can hear some of the Sinners recognizing it as the uniform of the Thumb.

"First, exact the appropriate punishment for breaking into your turf…"

"Of course, sir."

"But don't forget to show the right respect for those who deserve it. Am I understood?"

"Wait. Who's there? Is it the Blade Lineage…? Hm, doesn't seem like it."

Noticing our presence, the pair turns around to face us.

"Hm. Why don't we ask for their opinion as well, now that they're here?"

"You there. What are your thoughts on the Kurokumo Clan's current status?"

"Better choose your words carefully."

Unfortunately, war with the Blade Lineage seems to be the only option.

"Oh…"

"I suppose that's true. The only option is to go to war, is it? I see that you've a dramatic streak."

"You're a funny one. Got some time to kill?"

The pair of them dragged [Sinner] to a bar and released them only after sharing a few drinks.

[Sinner] returned with a drinking cup in hand.

"Oh…"

"That's great and all, but what's with that tone, huh?"

"Think we're stupid? Think we're stupid, punk? C'mere."

The pair of them began to beat [Sinner] up.

We quickly pried [Sinner] free from this unexpected outburst of violence and made ourselves scarce.


The selected Identity took 20 HP damage!

Wrong place at the wrong time, man.
"A regular occurrence in the City."

"Why don't we just let 'em go, sir? Doesn't seem like they have anything interesting to contribute."

"You heard him. Scram, before we change our minds."

Nothing happened.

The semi-final node of the Hard difficulty dungeon is guaranteed to be the following event:

'Yield My Flesh to Claim Their Bones' Dungeon Renewal Hard Fusion

'Yield My Flesh to Claim Their Bones' Dungeon Renewal Hard Fusion
Mirror of the Lake Rest Stop Event.png

We come upon a familiar rest stop.

The glass door is locked, with a notice attached to it.

'We are closed today due to personal reasons. We apologize for the inconvenience.'

'However, our fusion device is available for use. Customers requiring fusion service are kindly asked to use the device beside the entrance.'
