Failed to boot after full pacman -Syu update. FDE w btrfs.

After updating my system using pacman -Syu recently, my computer stopped booting. I can see the initial grub message: "Welcome to GRUB!" (something like that). After the message, the computer reboots and tries to boot again.

My system is a full-disk encryption (crypt) setup w btrfs. Also have the snap-pack-grub package from the AUR.

Is there an effective way of how to fix the system?
Anyone else having a similar problem?

From a chroot, read the journal for a failed boot.

Boot the Arch installer and see if it is equipped to deal with your encryption setup.
