What Lies Beneath the Amaranth is a story event.

The following Fate Episodes are related to this event's story:

• Rosamia (SSR): A test subject for the empire's mask experiments. Her demeanor shifts drastically upon infiltrating the lab.

Cursebreaker, Sugarcoated Lie

The masks.
Long ago, the Erste Empire spared no
efforts researching them.

A lone girl, robbed of her sense of self,
had been overcome by a desire to kill.
Even following the empire's collapse,
the mask would never leave her face.

Though the kingdom's new administration
wishes for a brighter future,
a dark legacy is seeping through the cracks.

What encounters await the wearer of
this mask inlaid with an amaranthine crystal?

かつてのエルステ帝国軍が 総力を挙げて研究していた「仮面」── 自我を奪い、ただ殺戮を求めるそれは、 帝国の崩壊後も少女の顔から 決して外れることはなかった。 王国となった今、負の遺産とともに その陰が綻びから零れ落ちる。 仮面に埋め込まれた紅紫色の秘石は 思わぬ縁を手繰り寄せ── 次回、グランブルーファンタジー 『紅紫の底に宿る意思』 その選択は仮面の意思か、 それとも業に塗り潰された己の意思か

The mask, once intensely researched by the Erste Empire ── Could not be removed from the girl's face, even after the fall of the empire, stealing her free will and driving her to murderous urges. Now a Kingdom, it faces its dark legacy as it seeps through the cracks. The amaranth buried within the mask calls in an unexpected bond── Next, in Granblue Fantasy "The will in the depths of Amaranth" Is this choice the will of the mask, or one's will driven by destiny?

Trailer Teaser Text

This text only appears in the voiced trailer pop-up window.

The masks.
Long ago, the Erste Empire spared no
efforts researching them.

A lone girl, robbed of her sense of self,
had been overcome by a desire to kill.
Even following the empire's collapse,
the mask would never leave her face.

Though the kingdom's new
administration wishes for a brighter
future, a dark legacy is seeping
through the cracks.

What encounters await the wearer of
this mask inlaid with an amaranthine
crystal?

Next up in Granblue Fantasy,
What Lies Beneath the Amaranth

Will the resulting fate be decided
by the mask or its wearer?
