Edge of Madness (混沌の果て, Konton no Hate, lit. Edge of Chaos) is an arena in Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. It is the site of the final battle with Chaos, and in Scenario 000 with Feral Chaos.
The Edge of Discord gateway leading to the Edge of Madness
Edge of Madness is a small, simple arena, a circular platform with Chaos's throne at one end, and the stage reaches high vertically. In the background is a long staircase leading to the floor before Chaos's throne, as well as several gigantic swords that Chaos uses for his ultimate attack. Because the arena is used in Chaos's attack patterns, it is the only arena where players are able to face Chaos in any gameplay mode.
In the stage's alternate version, the Bravery pool alternates between increasing and decreasing after a character performs an attack, decreasing at a faster rate than it increases.
The battlegen item associated with the stage is Entropy's Birth.
In Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, the Edge of Madness rests within a gateway set in an active volcano on a floating island at the end of the Land of Discord, off the shore of Onrac above the approximate location of the Sunken Shrine. The gateway bears the similar name, "Edge of Discord".
Body of Dark, Heart of Light[]
Cecil had encountered that horrid place during his nightmare. He climbed the nearly endless staircase and met up with the God of Discord challenging Cosmos before incinerating her! Stricken with grief and his immense strength, Chaos was driving Cecil into the darkness as he held a Dark Crystal, which soon was the same one Kuja was using, distinguishing the light in his soul and making him as one of his pawns. He was on his way there until he was able to accept his dark prowess as a part of himself and decimated Kuja.
Dissidia Shadowgate[]
The Edge of Madness was shown just after Chaos' defeat by the 10 Light Warriors and World B, starting with that horrific area, was destroying itself since both Order and Chaos seized. Luckily the group escaped as their Crystals, with their last ounces of Cosmos' strength, took them to Cornelia.
